Wildguard Relik patrols the Rumble Ruins Point of Interest in the Jungle Biome. Wildguard Relik will attack on sight if you get close enough, but he's not always easy to find. 

Wildguard Relik can use his Cloak Gauntlets to turn invisible. If you're struggling to locate Wildguard Relik, try using a Thermal DMR or a Flare Gun to reveal the intrepid hunter. You can also turn on the game's Visual Sound Effects setting to better determine where Wildguard Relik is hiding.

Wildguard Relik sports a whopping 650 Shield and 650 Health, so defeating this Boss will take quite a bit of firepower. In combat, Wildguard Relik uses two abilities — Invisibility and Teleport Dash — to gain an edge.

Wildguard Relik can turn invisible at a moment's notice, even in combat, so always keep an eye out and be wary of an ambush. Wildguard Relik will also frequently Teleport Dash at his attacker, turning invisible and appearing again to the side or behind his target.

If you can sustain Wildguard Relik's onslaught of Teleport Dashes and avoid letting him escape with Invisibility, defeating Wildguard Relik in Fortnite is just a war of attrition. Wear down Wildguard Relik until his Shield and Heath are depleted to officially hunt the hunter.

Wildguard Relik's Cloak Gauntlets is an enhanced variant of the regular Fortnite Cloak Gauntlets, offering extended invisibility and a shorter cooldown between uses. Relik’s MK-Alpha Assault Rifle is a Mythic version of the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle. Relik's MK-Alpha Assault Rifle deals 28 damage per shot and can rip through foes with haste.

That's all there is to finding and defeating Wildguard Relik in Fortnite. Best this Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 Boss to claim two brand-new Fortnite Mythics and increase your chances of claiming a Victory Royale.
