The power of the dark side
Darth Vader Samurai roams the grounds of Vader Samurai’s Solitude, a new Star Wars point of interest that is located towards the bottom left-hand corner of the map. As soon as you land, begin looting up before fighting Darth Vader Samurai and his troops that guard the area.
When you begin the fight against Darth Vader Samurai, his health bar will appear at the top of your screen. It’s recommended that you fire at the boss from a distance, due to the fact that he will use his lightsaber to dish out damage and deploy the force to draw you in. As always, aiming for the head deals the most damage. Make sure you have plenty of bullets on-hand because Darth Vader Samurai will also use his lightsaber to block incoming projectiles.
Of course, there’s the added challenge of enemy players who are trying to take down Darth Vader Samurai too. Vader Samurai’s Solitude has become a hot drop due to the presence of Darth Vader Samurai, so you’ll have to keep your head on a swivel to stop opponents from eliminating you from the match.
When you fully deplete Darth Vader Samurai’s health bar, he won’t actually die. You’ll then be able to interact with Darth Vader Samurai to bring up the option to learn Force Saber Throw and Force Jump abilities. If you accept, you will walk through a portal and be handed a lightsaber that will give you access to these abilities when equipped.
Challenge the Darth Vader Samurai boss until Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 ends on June 7, 2025.
