You'll find The Inkquisitor hiding underneath the manor at Grim Gables. You can access this mineshaft area by breaking through the floor inside the mansion or using an entranceway outside the house.

Aside from a few Zombies, the basement will be rather empty — at first. To bring forth the Inkquisitor, you have to summon it. In the centre of the room is a summoning circle marked by six unlit flames and a symbol of an octopus. Enter the summoning circle to begin the summoning ritual and spawn The Inkquisitor.

Unlike Fortnite The Herald, The Inkquisitor doesn't feature any advanced mechanics to worry about. The Inkquisitor is simply a beefy Boss with 600 Shield and 600 HP, plus some powerful weaponry. But that doesn't mean defeating The Inkquisitor in Fortnite will be easy.

The Inkquisitor is armed with Inkquisitor's Suppressed SMG, a Pumpkin Launcher, and Firefly Jars. Throughout the battle, The Inkquisitor will proceed to bombard you with a relentless number of explosives, dealing devastating damage on direct hits.

One of the more challenging aspects of this fight is that you're confined to this small mineshaft with limited room to move around and avoid The Inkquisitor's onslaught of explosives. To counter this, keep moving — never stay in one place for too long. And if you're in a playlist with building enabled, consider constructing additional structures to protect yourself.

If you can survive the fire and exploding pumpkins, defeating The Inkquisitor is simply a matter of perseverance.
