All Medallion locations and effects in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1

This season is all about stealth.

Medallions are special tokens in Fortnite that give you a wide array of buffs, ranging from life-stealing abilities to temporary invisibility. These effects differ with each season, and during Chapter 6, Season 1, you can find two medallions with unique buffs at the cost of revealing your location.

All Medallion locations in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1

Each medallion is dropped by Fortnite’s bosses, whom you’ll find scattered around the map. During Chapter 6, Season 1, you’ll find the following bosses in these locations:

  • Night Rose: Demon’s Dojo
  • Shogun X: Loot Island

Although these bosses differ slightly from previous season variations, their spawn locations stay the same. Night Rose and Shogun will stay in their respective areas and protect their base, allowing you to storm in, defeat them, and take their medallions. Be careful, as other players will likely do the same during your matches. Fortnite bosses and their minions are also surprisingly strong, so be sure to bring a weapon and a medkit or two, just in case.

In the case of Night Rose, you can just run right into Demon’s Dojo and start the fight. At first, you’ll see a massive red oni mask controlling a puppet. Shooting the puppet damages the boss without too many issues, but she does have occasional immunity phases where you have to dodge her attacks and shoot at the mask.

Shogun X, on the other hand, won’t appear until Loot Island spawns. Rather than finding one large island, you’ll find several in the area with wind sprites surrounding it. Shogun X will be on the island, as indicated by his red oni mask icon on your map. He has multiple attacks, including launching giant oni heads, slashing at you with his sword, and teleporting around the islands, but they’re also fairly easy to dodge with their delays.

If another player beats you to a boss and picks up the medallion, you’ll spot a gold ring on your map, indicating their approximate location. The more medallions one person picks up, the more specific this ring will be, allowing you to pinpoint where they are. You have two choices from here: run away or charge forward and try to steal the medallions.

All Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1 bosses and medallions

Each Fortnite boss has their own medallion that grants special powers. No boss can drop two medallions, but players can equip as many as they can get their hands on. Below is every Chapter 6, Season 1 medallion and its effects.

Shogun XWandererGain infinite stamina and invisibility while sprinting.

You can also combine the effects of each medallion if you pick up multiple. In other words, you might encounter a situation where you quickly sprint toward someone while invisible, unload your weapons, and quickly reload or retreat if things get dicey. You can easily gain a massive advantage over others, especially if you prefer stealthy combat.
