Fortnite The Herald has been a menacing presence on the island since the start of the current season, responsible for the ever-growing pool of Chrome that is rapidly flooding across the map, and providing a tough fight for any player who stumbles into their throne room at Herald's Sanctum. Their arrival was actually foretold when we caught our first glimpse of The Herald in Fortnite during the cinematic introduction to the previous season, where they were briefly seen gazing down at the island residents Vibin' and celebrating the defeat of the Imagined Order through their orb, in particular focusing on the Reality Tree.

Fortnite The Herald is an NPC that can be encountered on the island, but they're also important as they have their own set of Fortnite quests to complete, unlocking various reward items including The Herald outfit so players can take them into the battle royale themselves. These are only available to those who own the Battle Pass in Fortnite, so if you want to get in on the action then make sure you've unlocked that. We've got all of the details here on where to find The Herald in Fortnite, what to do for the Fortnite The Herald quests, and the rewards for completing them.
Where is the Fortnite The Herald location
If you want to find The Herald in Fortnite then, perhaps unsurprisingly, you need to visit the Herald's Sanctum POI near the bay to the east side of the island. Here you'll find a large and foreboding Chrome castle, and if you make your way to the north end of it you'll discover a large throne room with The Herald inside, gazing into an orb which appears to be projecting the Reality Tree.
Fortnite The Herald is a hostile NPC, so be ready for a battle as they'll attack you on sight. This can be a tricky fight, as they will initially wrap themselves in a Chrome orb and fire a shockwave to knock you away, before summoning two Chrome wolves – you'll need to eliminate both of them before the boss can be attacked directly. The Herald can also warp around the area, by sinking into the Chrome and appearing on the other side of the room. If you survive the onslaught and defeat The Herald in Fortnite, you'll receive the Mythic The Herald's Burst Rifle and four Chrome Splash items for your efforts.
