The Inkquisitor is the new Fortnite Mythic boss that was released with the Halloween event. The boss came out with the v22.20 update on Tuesday, October 18, yet many players struggle to defeat them.
This is one of the toughest boss battles in the game. However, there is an easy way to defeat the Inkquisitor. By following the guide below, you can easily beat the boss and get the new Mythic SMG and the Pumpkin Launcher.
The boss is located at Grim Gables, so you will have to visit this location in order to engage in a fight.
How to easily defeat the Inkquisitor in Fortnite
The Inkquisitor is located in the basement of the hunted house at Grim Gables. This means that it’s very hard to avoid boss’ attacks, which makes the entire fight very difficult for players.
The boss frequently uses Firefly Jars, which usually burn the entire place down. This is the main source of damage against players as avoiding constant fire is extremely challenging, sometimes even impossible.
The video above shows the easiest way to defeat the Inkquisitor. However, we have also prepared a text guide if you are not in the mood to watch the video.
Here are the steps you need to take to defeat the new Mythic boss in Fortnite Battle Royale:
- Visit the boss spawn area through the mine entrance
- Summon the boss by stepping on the ritual ground
- Lead the boss outside through the tunnel
- Eliminate the boss with an assault rifle or explosives
Once you drag the boss outside, you will have a huge advantage. Not only will you be able to move freely, but you will also be able to damage the boss from different angles.
The Inkquisitor will rarely follow you around the area. Instead, the boss will mostly stay at the mine entrance where you will be able to claim your victory.
What makes this strategy effective is the fact that the boss will hit themselves with both Firefly Jars and the Pumpkin Launcher. Due to this, you will get additional firepower and you’ll be able to take the boss down in less than a minute.
Fighting the Inkqusitor in the basement is almost impossible. You will end up dying to the boss nine times out of 10 due to the lack of movement. However, with this strategy, you should be able to defeat the Fortnite Halloween boss every single time.
Keep in mind that you have to defeat the Inkquisitor at Grim Gables in order to complete all Fortnitemares 2022 quests. By defeating the boss, you will unlock an exclusive cosmetic item and also make progress toward unlocking the other exclusive cosmetics released during the Halloween event.
The boss and the quests will stay in the game until Tuesday, November 1. After this date, you will not be able to unlock the free cosmetic items.
