Flakes Power recently undertook the challenge, and it took him 15 minutes to get through all of the mini-maps with their various obstacles.

The first part of the task required the YouTuber to drive an Octane vehicle through an electric field before being dropped on a parkour map. On this map, he had to use D-Launchers and dodge traps to stay alive.

Flakes Power had to traverse an electric field, leap over frog bouncers to avoid a watery demise, and climb up ramps while sliding beneath the electric field. In the end, he told the participants that they would be given a Mythic Shockwave Hammer to master. This hammer was necessary for the streamer to successfully traverse an obstacle course, which could only be completed by leaping with its aid.

However, safety measures have been put in place to help Fortnite players reach the end of the map by allowing them to jump higher than normal with the aid of bouncers.
