Medallions are boss drops that buff you in various ways. Medallions in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 is:

  • The Wanderer’s Medallionhe fell in Shogun XProvides infinite stamina and invisibility while sprinting
  • Night Rose Medallionhe fell in Night Rosemakes your gun reload itself

Medallions do not take up space in your inventory, as they have their own space in your bag (just like gold).

To get the medallion you must do this eliminate the boss NPC holding it. As you approach them, a vast health bar for the corresponding boss will appear at the top of the screen.

Unlike other NPCs who are quite straightforward to encounter and eliminate immediately, these NPCs all have spawning minions that will shoot at you when they see you. That said, it may be easier to loot the locations mentioned and then head out to get the medallion.

Fortunately, NPCs shoot like Star Wars stormtroopers (meaning they aim very poorly), so you shouldn’t worry too many about the lackeys. Focus on the boss with a decent weapon and you should be able to get the medallion. Remember that the boss will frequently refill his shield, making him an annoying target.

If you see an orange or gold circle on the map, it means that a player in that vicinity also has a medallion. You can eliminate this player to take his medallion.

Defeat her while she’s running and you’ll be able to turn your attention to the floating head. Shoot his glowing red eyes.

To get the final version of the Shogun X boss, you must survive until fourth circle of the storm. At this point Shogun Arena will appear in a random location – first as a red Rift icon, then as a red Oni Mask icon (when the player gets close enough).
