In Fortnite Chapter 6, you will face one of the toughest boss battles yet – the mysterious Shogun X. Unlike other bosses, Shogun X doesn’t stay in one place. Instead, he roams around the map, and to defeat him fully, you’ll need to track him down and face him in two separate encounters. Don’t worry though – this guide will walk you through everything you need to know on how to find and defeat Shogun X in Fortnite Chapter 6.
How to Find Shogun X in Fortnite Chapter 6
What makes Shogun X stand out is that he doesn’t have a fixed location, which made finding him a bit tricky at first. To track him down, open your map and look for the black and white Oni Mask symbol, that’s the key to spotting where he is.
Shogun X First Encounter
The symbol moves as Shogun X roams around, so you’ll need to keep an eye on it. He usually starts in the western part of the map, but he can show up anywhere, so be ready to search all over. When you find him, you will need to face him twice – the first time on the ground, and then again on a floating island. Each encounter was intense, so remember to be prepared for both fights if you want to take him down completely.
Shogun X Final Encounter
After taking down Shogun X the first time, you need to gear up for the final battle. Wait for the 4th storm circle to appear. Then, open your map and look for a floating island marked with a red Oni Mask symbol – that’s where he would be. To reach the island, you can use Air Sprite beneath it, which will help you get up there. Shogun X will be waiting by his portal, ready for the last showdown. The final fight was intense, but with the right strategy, you will be able to finish him off once and for all.
How to Defeat Shogun X in Fortnite
When facing Shogun X, you have to really be careful because he’s got some powerful attacks that can catch you off guard. Here is a list of his move set that we learned from the battles we fought against him:
| Move Set | Description |
| Charging Volcano Burst | Shogun X floats in the air surrounded by flames. When you see him charging up, look out for lava geysers popping up on the ground. |
| Exploding Mask Attack | Shogun X launches 3 tracking fire masks that’ll follow you around. |
| Sword Slash | If you get too close, Shogun X will trigger a sword slash. He’ll show you his battle stance by placing his hand on his blade. |
Shogun X has a few attacks you’ll need to dodge carefully. For the Charging Volcano Burst, try to stay away from the marked spots while attacking. For the Exploding Mask Attack, dodge left or right to avoid the tracking fire masks, then attack once they’re distracted. If he goes into a battle stance for a Sword Slash, quickly sprint and slide to the side to dodge it. Keep moving and stay alert!
Shogun X Boss Rewards
After defeating Shogun X in his roaming form, you will be rewarded with some great gear. The Enhanced Sentinel Pump Shotgun or Enhanced Oni Shotgun. These two are some of the most powerful shotguns you can use in the game. They also usually come with a Void Boon that you can use to find nearby enemies.
When you defeat Shogun X on the floating island, you will get even better rewards. The Shogun X Medallion is an amazing item, since it gives you infinite stamina. When you equip this medallion, you don’t have to worry about running out while sprinting. It also provided invisibility while sprinting, which made it easier to escape or reposition during fights.
Additionally, you will get the Mythic Typhoon Blade, which is perfect for close combat. Finally, the Fire Oni Mask was a powerful tool, launching fire projectiles that dealt huge damage per hit. It is great for picking off enemies at a distance.
Shogun X is definitely one of Fortnite’s toughest bosses, but the rewards are well worth the challenge. To take him down, focus on learning his attack patterns, keep your distance, and resist the urge to get greedy with damage. Patience is key in this fight. Once you master his moves, you’ll gain powerful tools that can help secure more Victory Royales in the newest Chapter 6. Happy hunting!
