You can challenge Hades by heading inside The Underworld castle.

In order to challenge Hades, land at The Underworld and loot for some weapons from loot chests or Underworld chests nearby. Once you’re stacked, head inside the main palace and at an altar, interact with Hades’ effigy to challenge him.

Once you interact, the effigy will break, spawning Hades on his throne and several Minions (or henchmen) nearby. As the minions fire at you, return fire and eliminate all of them. You will need to battle two waves of minions before you can directly go to battle with Hades.

As soon as you’ve defeated both waves, from a distance shoot at Hades since he possesses a Mythic SMG which is lethal at close range.

You can claim the Aspect of Siphon and Mythic Harbinger SMG by defeating Hades.

Make sure to be at a higher ground since the boss can also pull you using Chains of Hades and swing around if you get too close to damage you further.

Once Hades is defeated, he will drop an Aspect of Siphon medallion, which will grant you a siphon on each elimination, and a Mythic Harbinger SMG which is a deadly close-range weapon.

How to defeat Cerberus boss in Fortnite

Cerberus is the guardian of The Underworld and guards Hades from intruders. He’s a lethal boss who can be challenged at Grim Gate POI and is also a featured Battle Pass skin this season.

You can challenge Cerberus boss right at the entrance of the Grim Gate POI.

In order to challenge Cerberus, land at Grim Gate and loot for some weapons from loot chests or Underworld chests nearby. Once you’re stacked, head to the altar near the SHADOW briefing machine and interact with Cerberus’ Effigy to challenge him.

Once you interact, the effigy will break, spawning several wolves around you. As the wolves sprint towards you, shoot and eliminate all of them. You will need to battle two waves of Wolves before you can directly go to battle with Cerberus.

You can claim the Aspect of Agility and Mythic Gatekeeper Shotgun by defeating Cerberus.

As soon as you’ve defeated both waves, from a distance shoot at Cerberus since he possesses a Mythic Gatekeeper Shotgun which is lethal at close range. Make sure to be as far away as possible since Cerberus can swing his claws and damage you if you get too close to him.

Once Cerberus is defeated, he will drop an Aspect of Agility medallion, which will grant you infinite Underworld Dash, and a Mythic Gatekeeper Shotgun which is a deadly close-range weapon.

How to defeat Zeus boss in Fortnite

Zeus is the king of gods in Greek mythology and also in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 storyline. His evil plans for the mortals are a key part of this season’s story quests. He’s also a mighty boss who can be challenged at Mount Olympus POI and is also a featured Battle Pass skin this season.

You can challenge Zeus by heading inside the Mount Olympus castle.

In order to challenge Zeus, land at Mount Olympus and loot for some weapons from loot chests or Olympus chests nearby. Once you’re stacked, head to the altar inside the main castle at the POI and interact with Zeus’ Effigy to challenge him.

Once you interact, the effigy will break, spawning Zeus in front of you. Maintain as much distance as you can from Zeus and take cover whenever you can to dodge his thunderbolts and Mythic DMR shots. Fire back at him and lower his shields and health bars until he’s downed.

As soon as he’s down, several minions will spawn in front of you, whom you must defeat one by one until you can attack Zeus again. Once you’ve defeated all the minions, you can battle an enraged Zeus again.

You can claim Thunderbolt of Zeus, Aspect of Speed, and Mythic Huntress DMR by defeating Zeus.

This time he’ll attack more aggressively with a charged stomp and a lightning wave attack, so it would be wise for you to keep rotating around the area and spray your shots at him.

As soon as he’s defeated, he’ll drop a full stack of Thunderbolt of Zeus Mythic, Aspect of Speed which gives you the ability to run faster and jump higher while sprinting, and a mythic Huntress DMR which is lethal at long range.

How to defeat Ares boss in Fortnite

Ares is the god of war in Greek mythology and also in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 lore. He’s a formidable boss who can be challenged at Brawler’s Battleground POI and is an upcoming April Fortnite Crew Pack skin.

You can challenge Ares at the altar at Brawler’s Battleground.

In order to challenge Ares, land at Brawler’s Battleground and loot for some weapons from loot chests or Olympus chests nearby. Once you’re stacked, head to the main outdoor altar, and interact with Ares’ Effigy to challenge him.

Once you interact, the effigy will break, spawning several minions nearby. As the minions fire at you, return fire and eliminate all of them. You will need to battle two waves of minions before Ares can spawn and you can battle him.

As soon as you’ve defeated both waves, shoot at Ares from long-range since he possesses a Mythic Warforged Assault Rifle which is lethal at mid-range.

You can claim the Aspect of Combat and Mythic Warforged AR by defeating Ares.

Make sure to maintain a distance since he can throw Cluster Clingers at you if you get too close to damage you further.

Once Ares is defeated, he will drop an Aspect of Combat medallion, which will grant you increased damage with long-range weapons, and a Mythic Warforged Assault Rifle which is a deadly mid-range weapon.
