Gods and goddesses are now assuming their thrones across the island of Fortnite, with Greek mythology the latest theme to take over the battle royale phenomenon.<\/p>\n

After the likes of Valeria<\/a>, Peter Griffin and such from The Society all appeared in thrilling boss battles across the map, the group of wealthy elites were toppled by the gods.<\/p>\n

Everyone from the King of the Sea, Poseidon<\/a>, to the Mount Olympus ruler, Zeus, have descended into the game. And that means preparation is more vital than ever.<\/p>\n

For this particular guide, we\u2019re focusing on the King of the Underworld, Hades. Not only is it useful to know the exact location of where the god of the dead is found, but how to defeat him in battle once the challenge begins.<\/p>\n

To make things easier, we\u2019ve broken down everything you need to know about Hades in Fortnite \u2013 including how to beat him and how to get the Legendary skin.<\/p>\n

Where is the Hades boss battle in Fortnite?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Hades boss battle takes place in The Underworld point of interest located in the northwest corner of the map<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Head in that direction upon leaving the Battle Bus when you reach The Underworld, enter the main hall, and in the centre of the room is a statue of Hades sitting atop an altar.<\/p>\n

By interacting with the statue, your character will throw the statue on the floor \u2013 which, in turn, will summon Hades and begin the boss battle.<\/p>\n

The Hades boss battle is made up of several phases. The first phase sees Hades spawn on his floating throne before unleashing waves of minions your way. Hades cannot be attacked during this period, due to protection from a dark magic barrier. Once all the minions are defeated, the Underworld god will leave his throne and start attacking.<\/p>\n

The best tactic is to shoot at Hades immediately after he descends from his throne<\/strong>. Hades has a special attack that does heavy damage, so try to take him out before he utilises the move. It\u2019s not too difficult, but we recommend hanging back a little and using a sniper to whittle away his health.<\/p>\n

After defeating Hades, a Mythic Harbinger SMG is unlocked.<\/p>\n
