What is the task at the Shogun’s Arena?
To complete your quest at Shogun’s Arena, you’ll need to eliminate two enemies, which will reward you with 30K XP. This task is part of the Balance of Power quest series, emphasizing the elimination of foes using the respective Kombat Kits of Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
For a comprehensive breakdown of the Balance of Power quests, be sure to check out our detailed guide. Let’s delve into how you can locate this elusive POI in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2.
How to find the Shogun’s Arena in Fortnite
One challenge players face is that the Shogun’s Arena does not have a set location in Fortnite. Instead, it randomly spawns during matches, typically after four storm circles. This unpredictable nature means you’ll need to survive for a while before it emerges. Players can either scout for loot or play conservatively until the time is right.
As you approach the midway point of a match, be sure to check your map for a “red rift icon,” resembling a paw (indicating one larger island flanked by four smaller ones). This icon will guide you to the Shogun’s Arena, the Chapter 6 counterpart to Loot Island.
How to reach the Shogun’s Arena
Given that the Shogun’s Arena is a floating island, you can utilize an Air Sprite to ascend to it, then deploy your glider to land safely. From your vantage point on the island, you have options: eliminate foes on the island itself or utilize your height advantage to target enemies below. For the latter, having a scoped weapon is recommended for easier targeting.
Additionally, players can engage the Shogun X boss here for unique rewards, including a random Enhanced Mythic weapon and the Super Shield Medallion. Be cautious, as tackling this boss alone may demand substantial time and effort, and you may encounter third-party opponents attracted by the nearby combat noise.
Anticipate other players arriving at the Shogun’s Arena too, as many will be vying to complete the Mortal Kombat challenge for that valuable 30K XP.
