Fortnite Hunters brings Japanese Mythology to the island, launching players into the Chapter 6 map, filled with stunning locations and terrifying bosses to face. With a new chapter comes the arrival of unique weapons, items, and overhauls to the game’s movement mechanics. Diving into this season for the first time can feel overwhelming, as the game feels completely different from what players were used to in Fortnite Remix.
From powerful fire-bending Oni Masks to an arsenal of diverse weapons, the loot pool for Fortnite Hunters is impressive. While much of the focus will likely be on these additions, players may overlook the fact that Boons have also made an appearance, each providing unique perks that players can use to their advantage. Here’s a guide on every Boon in Fortnite and how to get them.

How To Get Boons In Fortnite
Elemental Chests
The first way to acquire Boons is to search for Elemental Chests. Elemental Chests can be found in almost every major POI on the island, and have the chance to drop any Boon upon being opened. On top of Boons, Elemental Chests can also drop Oni Masks or Typhoon Blades, making them a great way to get powerful items.
Defeating Demon Warriors
Another way to acquire Boons is by defeating Demon Warriors. These hostile NPCs are located in specific areas marked on the map, making them easy for players to locate. Upon defeat, Demon Warriors can drop either a Void Boon or a Fire Boon, providing an excellent way to secure helpful buffs.
In addition to Boons, Demon Warriors can also yield other valuable rewards, including:
Returning a Sprite to a Sprite Shrine
The final method to obtain a Boon in Fortnite is by returning a Sprite to a Sprite Shrine. Sprites are elemental critters scattered throughout the Fortnite island. To claim a Boon through this method, players need to:
- Locate a Sprite and pick it up by pressing the Interact Button.
- Deliver the Sprite to the nearest Sprite Shrine, which will be marked on the map once a Sprite is picked up.
- Return the Sprite to the Shrine by pressing the Interact Button again.
Returning a Sprite will grant players a specific Boon based on the type of Sprite delivered:
- The Wind Sprite grants a Wind Boon.
- The Water Sprite grants a Water Boon.
