In Fortnite Chapter Five, season two, you can get all mythic weapons by defeating Greek god NPC bosses scattered across the map: Ares, Cerberus, Hades, and Zeus. While they are challenging to beat, the weapons they drop are highly valuable and can give you a massive edge in matches. Except for Zeus’s Thunderbolt, which isn’t unique to each match, dropping any of the other four ensures you have the top-performing weapon of that type for that round.

Each boss always drops their mythic weapon when defeated, and these bosses show up only once per match after someone challenges them. The key strategy to get these mythic items is to clear out other players from the area first to avoid interruptions and lurkers, then gear up to take on the boss alone. These bosses have a lot of health and shields, so you’ll need good weapons. Also, carry mobility items like Impulse Grenades and healing items like Shield Potions to move around easily and keep your health up during the fight. This approach helps ensure you’re in a strong position against the boss and can stay in the fight.
