To complete the quest “Pull Consumables with the Thorn Ripper” in Fortnite, you first need to locate Doja Cat, known as The Mother of Thorns. This quest requires you to defeat her and claim her signature weapon, the Thorn Ripper, which is a Mythic item.
Once you have the Thorn Ripper, using its unique ability is straightforward. Hold the secondary fire button to spin the weapon, then aim at a consumable on the ground. Press the primary fire button while holding the weapon to pull items closer, making collection easier, as shown in the accompanying GIF.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to complete the quest successfully in Fortnite.
1. Find the Mother of Thorns
The first step is to track down the Mother of Thorns, who can be found in Halloween-themed locations. These areas are marked with a distinct blue aura and often feature pumpkins and thorns, making them easy to spot.
However, keep in mind that the Mother of Thorns is a random spawn. If she doesn’t appear during your match, consider restarting or selecting different locations. Common spawn points include:
- South of Supernova Academy, where I found her.
- South of Ranger’s Ruin.
- Freaky Fields, near the large red barn.
2. Defeat the Mother of Thorns
Once you’ve located her, aim for her head and fire with all your weapons. She moves slowly, making her an easy target. Even with just 50 shield, you should be able to take her down without much trouble. After defeating her, don’t forget to grab the Thorn Ripper she drops.
3. Pull Consumables
Now that you have the Thorn Ripper, hold the secondary fire button, letting the weapon spin. Without releasing it, press your primary fire button, causing the Thorn Ripper to fly forward and pull items back to you. Look for consumables like Shield Potions, Med Kits, or Bandages on the ground.
If you can’t find any, you can simply drop an item from your inventory. Aim at the item and pull it five times. Each action counts toward completing your quest, allowing you to focus on a single item rather than searching for multiple consumables.
Once you achieve those five pulls, the quest will be marked as complete, allowing you to move on to other challenges, such as answering calls on the Stalkbox.
Did you know that many players often search for how to quickly locate the Mother of Thorns? The key is to visit areas marked with Halloween themes and be prepared for some patience, as her spawn isn’t guaranteed every match.
What strategies can I use to defeat the Mother of Thorns quickly? Aiming for her head while using weapons with good damage output will significantly reduce the time needed to defeat her.
Are there specific weapons I should use against the Mother of Thorns? It’s best to bring powerful rifles or shotguns, as they can maximize your damage and help you finish the fight swiftly.
Can I complete the quest solo, or is it better in a squad? While you can complete it alone, having friends can help distract her and make the fight easier.
How do I make the best use of the Thorn Ripper during gameplay? Use it strategically; it not only pulls consumables but can also be used to snag other valuable items during chaotic fights.
