Gamers will find various characters on the Fortnite Battle Royale island, and they all add something unique to the game. There are two types of NPCs in Fortnite, friendly characters that provide helpful services and hostile characters that will shoot on sight. Even though gamers might feel inclined to only approach the friendly folk on the island, both types can be crucial to getting a Victory Royale.
Whether it's a powerful villain or a friendly face looking to follow players into battle, this guide will show them where they can go in order to find every non-playable character on the Chapter 6 Season 1 map.

Hostile NPCs and Bosses in Fortnite
There are hostile NPCs on the island as well, but this doesn't mean that you should avoid them altogether, as most of them have a valuable reward that can impact the rest of the match.
Medallion Bosses Locations in Fortnite
As soon as players start the match, markers will appear on each player's map. These markers indicate the presence of a Medallion Boss that has not been fully defeated yet.There are two medallions on the map, and each one provides a unique ability that only its carrier can yield.
Shogun X
Shogun X is a roaming boss, which means he doesn't have a fixed spawning location. Thankfully, his location appears on marked on players' maps.
Players can beat Shogun X's initial phase to get his Mythic Sentinel Pump Shotgun. However, they must survive long enough to visit the floatig island and fully eliminate Shogun X to secure his Medallion, Mythic Fire Oni Mask, and Mythic Typhoon Blade. Shogun X's Medallion gives players infinite stamina and grants them an invisibility cloak while sprinting.
Night Rose
Night Rose can be found at Demon's Dojo. Players can defeat her by shooting at the Oni Mask's eyes while avoiding oncoming damage. Once dealt with, Night Rose drops a Medallion, a Mythic Veiled Precision SMG, and a Mythic Void Oni Mask. Night Rose's Medallion makes it so the player's weapons automatically reload.
Forecast Tower Guard Locations in Fortnite
There are four Forecast Towers on the Fortnite map:
- East of Burd
- Northwest of Shining Span
- Southwest of Lost Lake
- North of Brutal Boxes
However, only two of them will spawn per game. Before the second Storm Circle begins to close, three hostile NPCs will spawn near the Forecast Towers.
Players can take them out in order to collect the mini-boss's Epic-rarity Holo Twister Assault Rifle or Fury Assault Rifle and receive the Keycard so they can secure the forecast, giving them access to the location of the next Storm Circle before it's revealed.
Demon Warrior Locations in Fortnite
There are portals on the map that allow Demon Warriors to enter the Battle Royale island. Similarly to Forecast Tower bosses, at these locations, gamers will encounter two weaker guards and a mini-boss.
When gamers take out a Demon Warrior, it will drop a boon, which grants them a helpful buff for the rest of the match. Here is where players can find Demon Warriors in Fortnite:
- Lost Lake
- East of Shining Span
- Southeast of Twinkle Terrace
