Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, dubbed Galactic Battle based on Star Wars, is finally live right now. Along with a new Battle Pass that includes skins such as Poe Dameron and Emperor Palpatine, the season brings Lightsabers, Force Abilities, and vehicles like as X-Wings and TIE fighters.
There is also a standout challenge where you can take on Samurai Vader. By defeating him, you get a unique red Lightsaber and the Force Saber Throw ability.
In this article, check out where you can find this boss and how you can defeat to get some amazing items in the game.
Where to find Samurai Vader?
This is the boss that resides in Vader’s Samurai Solitude, a new point of interest (POI) in the southwestern corner of the map.
This POI has replaced the former Shogun’s Solitude from Chapter 6 Season 1. Open your Battle Bus map and look for the Darth Vader helmet icon near Canyon Crossing to record the location.
This POI is a citadel guarded by Samurai Stormtroopers, with Vader frequently stationed at the top of the castle grounds.

How to defeat Samurai Darth Vader: Step-by-Step Guide
- Land at Vader’s Samurai Solitude: You have to land at this hot spot first, but be careful with your competition.
- Locate Vader: You can immediately notice him in the open, standing with his Imperial Stormtroopers. Players will be able to notice his health bar as well.
- Grab a Blaster and Find High Ground: Pick up a blaster, such as the BARM-ST12 Scatter Blaster, from surrounding chests. To avoid close fighting, move to a rooftop or an elevated location.
- Engage at a distance: Vader’s Force Jump and Lightsaber Throw are lethal up close, and bullets bounce off him. Use your blaster to reduce his health while avoiding his strikes.
- Claim Your Reward: After defeating Vader, enter the vortex that appears to obtain a red Lightsaber with the Force Saber Throw ability, which allows you to throw the saber like a boomerang.
This is a very popular and chaotic drop right now in Fortnite. Even the boss enemy is pretty strong and it is advisable to maintain distance from him.
