Fortnite The Herald: How To Defeat
Click to enlargeThe Herald is, without a doubt, the strongest Fortnite Boss to date. To take her on and defeat her, you'll want an arsenal of weapons, full Shields, and an adequate amount of ammunition.
You will find The Herald situated in a huge open-air throne room on the northern end of the Chrome castle at Herald's Sanctum. By default, she'll be observing a Reality Tree-projecting Chrome orb in the centre of the room. But as soon as she notices you, she'll attack on sight.
Unlike past Fortnite Bosses, The Herald features some advanced mechanics that make defeating her quite difficult. When you initially unleash fire at The Herald, she'll ascend into a Chrome orb and turn invincible. Then, she'll summon two Chrome Wolves to serve as her guard dogs. While the Wolves are alive and well, The Herald will be immune to damage. To reveal her, you have to first eliminate the Wolves.
The Herald can reascend into the Chrome orb and summon her Chrome Wolves every 12 seconds, so you'll need to deal as much damage as possible while she's out and about. However, The Herald is no slouch, capable of dealing plenty of harm on her own, so try to stay in cover. The Herald can teleport too, so keep track of her if you can.
Sporting 600 Shield and 600 Health, you'll likely need to force The Herald out of her Chrome orb of immunity a few times before you can finally take her down.
