I landed under a bruise-colored sky and heard the mission ping. You needed The Imagined’s recording decrypted before the circle swallowed the area. I had thirty seconds to find a holotable and make it count.
I’ll walk you through the simple route: where the tables are, how to trigger the decrypt, and what happens when the hologram blooms. I play matches on PC and consoles, so my tips are tuned to the inputs you’ll see from Epic Games’ HUD.
I walked past Humble Hills and counted blue terminals inside four buildings. Holotable locations in Fortnite
There are four holotables spread across the Chapter Seven, Season Two map. They’re inside buildings, each with technology clustered around a blue table—easy to spot once you’re in the area. The holotable is a mothership of data; treat it as the single place you need to visit for this mission.
- Slightly south of Humble Hills.
- Near the east end of New Sanctuary, close to the island edge.
- Slightly northwest of Sandy Strip.
- East of Wonkeeland and west of Frigid Fortress.
Where are the holotables in Chapter 7 Season 2?
There are four fixed holotable locations. Drop into the listed POIs, enter the building, and watch for the white diamond marker on your HUD—Epic’s map will mark the table once you’re in the right room. If you’re on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch, the interaction prompt will show the correct button for your platform.
I pressed the interaction prompt and watched the holo bloom on the table. Decrypt a recording from The Imagined at a holotable in Fortnite
How do you decrypt a recording from The Imagined at a holotable?
Approach any holotable and the “Decrypt Message” prompt will appear. Hold the interaction button shown on your HUD—the exact key or button varies by platform, but Epic Games makes the input visible so you don’t have to guess. As soon as you activate it, a hologram of The Imagined will appear and essential storyline dialogue will play.
The quest registers the moment the hologram spawns, but if you want the full context, stay put and listen. The hologram is a cracked mirror of The Imagined’s mind, and the lines give you narrative breadcrumbs that matter for later objectives.
If you’re juggling objectives, this one is quick: pop into any of the four locations, tap the prompt, and move on. After this, you can chase related items and tasks across the map—checking monitoring reports at Frigid Fortress, hunting The Foundation’s lost helmet and cape, collecting all Chaos Cubes, using the Jam Track Player, or tracking down The Foundation’s Rift Rifle.
