Shogun X Location in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1
Unlike most bosses with fixed locations, Shogun X doesn’t stay in one spot. At the start of each game, he has multiple potential spawn points, and you’ll need to locate him by looking for his icon on the map. Open your map to check for his icon—see the image below for an example of what it looks like.
Shogun X's Teleportation Mechanic
The twist with this boss is that even if you manage to find him and begin the fight, Shogun X will teleport away before you can defeat him, relocating to a new spot. This adds an extra layer of challenge and keeps you on your toes as you track him down again.

The Final Fight on the Floating Island
The ultimate showdown occurs when Shogun X spawns on his floating island. Similar to previous seasons, a floating island appears after a few circles have closed. Once the floating island appears, check your map for his mask icon, which marks the location of the final fight. This is where you can finally defeat Shogun X for good and claim his loot.
How to Defeat Shogun X Boss in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1
When you reach Shogun X's floating island, the real battle begins. He has four distinct abilities that make this fight challenging: teleport, fire missiles, slash attack, and fire circles. Here’s how to counter each of them effectively:
-
Teleport Ability: Shogun X teleports around the island to reposition. This doesn’t deal damage, but it can catch you off guard. Keep moving and track his location to avoid being surprised by his next attack.
-
Fire Missiles: Shogun X shoots three fire missiles that deal massive damage. To avoid them, strafe left or right—the direction doesn’t matter as long as you keep moving.

Slash Attack: A powerful swing attack with his sword. When he charges up, run to his sides to dodge it effectively.
-
Fire Explosions: Shogun X creates fire patches on the ground that explode after a few seconds, dealing huge damage. Watch for the glowing fire circles and avoid standing in them.

Tips for the Fight
- The key to victory is timing your attacks. Focus on shooting between his abilities, as each has a few seconds cooldown. Avoid trying to deal damage while dodging—you’re more likely to get hit and lose the fight.
- Shogun X has a large health pool, so bring plenty of ammo and ensure you’re fully equipped before the fight. Running out of ammo mid-battle can be a costly mistake!
Shogun X Loot in Fortnite
Defeating Shogun X rewards you with three powerful items:
- Shogun X Medallion: Grants infinite stamina and invisibility while sprinting.
- Shogun X's Fire Oni Mask: A Mythic Variant of the Fire Oni Mask, offering extra ammunition.
- Mythic Typhoon Blade: A more powerful Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade.
And that’s how you take down the Shogun X boss in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1! While the fight might seem overwhelming at first, mastering the art of dodging and dealing damage between his attacks makes it much more manageable.
