The Empire has finally landed in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, bringing an exciting challenge for players who want to defeat Samurai Darth Vader in Fortnite and claim his Mythic Lightsaber as a powerful reward. Here’s everything you need to know to find this NPC boss, defeat him, and get the Mythic Sith Apprentice Lightsaber in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3.
Where to Find Samurai Darth Vader in Fortnite Galactic Battle
Finding Samurai Vader in Chapter 6 Season 3 isn’t too difficult once you know where to look. The Sith Lord has set up his base at Vader Samurai’s Solitude, which is located in the southwest area of the map. The simplest way to locate him is by spotting the Darth Vader icon on your map.
Set a marker on it, and you can either land directly at the location or choose to drop nearby in strategic areas to gear up first. After all, you’re up against the Sith Lord himself, so being fully prepared is crucial. When you arrive, you’ll notice the area is heavily guarded by Imperial Stormtroopers. As the battle begins, the legendary Imperial anthem kicks in, sending chills down your spine, a mix of excitement and intimidation that perfectly sets the tone for the fight.
How to Defeat Samurai Vader in Fortnite Galactic Battle
Taking down Samurai Vader is not that hard, but you still need the right strategy to beat him. Again, before you charge into battle against this Sith Lord, make sure you’re fully prepared. Stock up on med kits and shield potions beforehand. It’s also wise to collect powerful weapons prior to engaging Vader. My favorite blasters so far in this season are BARM-ST12 Scatter Blaster and A280-CFE Blaster Rifle.
Lightsabers are also particularly effective against him, so if you can secure one before the fight, you’ll have a much easier time bringing him down. Once you’re ready to take on Vader, keep these tips in mind:
- Watch out for bullet deflection – Regular bullets will ricochet off Vader, making many weapons less effective.
- Keep your distance – Vader deals heavy damage up close.
- Defeat Stormtroopers during the fight – They drop shield jars, which help you stay alive longer.
- Be ready to dodge – His Force Jump and Lightsaber Throw attacks are his most dangerous moves.
Samurai Darth Vader Boss Rewards: Mythic Sith Apprentice Lightsaber
The main reason for taking on this challenging boss is his unique rewards. When you defeat Samurai Darth Vader, you’ll get:
- Mythic Sith Apprentice Lightsaber
- Force Jump ability
- Force Saber Throw
These Force abilities can give you a major advantage in the rest of your match, making the difficult boss fight well worth it. Moreover, it just looks so cool when you can throw your lightsaber and it will boomerang back at you. I keep on doing it to knock down opponents. If you want to do it, equip the Lightsaber and click the left mouse button while you’re holding the right mouse button.

However, after you defeat Samurai Darth Vader, don’t forget to interact with him first, just like you interact with Rey for the Jedi training and Emperor Palpatine for being his Sith apprentice. This way, you will be able to complete the training and gain the abilities. With these strategies, I hope that you’ll be able to defeat Samurai Darth Vader in Fortnite and claim the Mythic Lightsaber before other players arrive. May the Force be with you as you battle the Sith Lord!
