Medallions reappear in Fortnite as a seasonal mechanic. They first showed up in the fifth chapter of the first season and come back in Chapter 6, Season 1. At the season’s start players had access to two medallions: the Wanderer’s Medallion and the Night Rose Medallion. The addition of Godzilla on January 17 added a third medallion to the pool. This guide explains how medallions operate in Fortnite and where players can locate them.
What medallions are there in Fortnite (Chapter 6, Season 1)
Medallions are buffs dropped by bosses that grant various boosts. The lineup for Fortnite Season 1 Chapter 6 includes the following medallions:
- Wanderer’s Medallion: Dropped by a defeated Shogun X. Grants infinite stamina and invisibility while running.
- Night Rose Medallion: appears after defeating Night Rose. Allows weapons to reload automatically.
- Godzilla Medallion: drops from the enemy of the same name and enables a charged dash ability.
What you need to know about medallions
- Medallions do not take up regular backpack space; they have a dedicated slot in the inventory, just like gold or other special items.
- To obtain a medallion, a player must defeat the boss guarding it. When the boss is in range, the health bar appears on screen and a corresponding icon shows up on the mini‑map.
- Bosses come with minions that challenge players. It can be smart to explore other areas first and prepare before attempting the boss for the medallion.
- Boss minions are not highly accurate, so players should focus their fire on the boss while maintaining position and ammo discipline. Bosses can regularly regenerate shields, which makes the fight a true test of endurance and strategy.
- If an orange or gold circle appears on the map, it marks a medallion area. Rival players in that region can be eliminated to claim the medallion for themselves.
How to get all the medallions
In Fortnite Season 1 Chapter 6, bosses that drop medallions can be found in several key locations across the map as the storm circles evolve. Each encounter requires patience, knowledge of the arena, and a plan to counter the boss’s attacks and minions.
Night Rose
- Location: Demon Dojo.
- Oddity: Be prepared for a ghostly shadow crafted by Night Rose during the encounter. The battle unfolds in multiple phases, starting with Night Rose herself and then switching to her flying oni puppeteer head. Defeating her yields the Night Rose Medallion.
Shogun X
- Location: Spawns at a random spot on the island. Players should look for the Oni Mask icon on the map.
- Oddity: Shogun X begins by dropping a random mythic weapon. The final phase appears on the fourth storm circle. Defeating him grants the Wanderer Medallion and the Fire Oni Mask.
Godzilla
- Location: Emerges randomly after the first shrinking of the Storm Circle. Keep an eye on the Godzilla icon on the map.
- Oddity: Maintain distance and strike the glowing spikes along his back to deal extra damage. Achieving the most damage rewards Godzilla’s Medallion and the Burst Quad Launcher.
With these details in hand, players can pursue all the medallions Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 has to offer. Each boss demands a distinct approach to defeating it.
