Shogun's Arena in Fortnite is an elusive location, and if you've been scouring the map trying to find it then you're out of luck. That's because it isn't available at the start of each match, and instead spawns from a rift later in the game to form a series of islands floating in the sky. You'll find the tough Shogun X boss lurking here, who can be defeated for a medallion and some high level loot, but most people are currently looking for it so they can eliminate players at Shogun's Arena for one of the Mortal Kombat Fortnite quests, after moving on from those that involve fighting against Fortnite Scorpion. If you're looking for help with tracking it down, then here's how to find the Fortnite Shogun's Arena and eliminate players once you get there.

Unlike all of the named POIs on the island that are fixed in place, the Fortnite Shogun's Arena location varies from match to match and you can't predict in advance where it will be. You also can't head there straight away, as you need to wait until around the fourth Storm circle starting to close in for Shogun's Arena to emerge from a rift above the island. Around this time a red marker will appear in the sky to indicate where the rift is appearing, and once it spawns you can see Shogun's Arena on your map as as a cluster of red islands along with an icon for the boss Shogun X. Head to that area, then use one of the Air Sprites on the ground below to launch yourself up to the floating islands.

Once you've arrived on the floating island, you then need someone to fight. Unlike a previous challenge to damage opponents at this location that could be completed by attacking the Shogun X boss, you need to eliminate two players at Shogun's Arena for this quest. To do this, you should try and get to the floating island as soon as possible, then stick to the edges to avoid Shogun X attacking you while watching for incoming players to take out. As long as you are at Shogun's Arena you can also eliminate players on the ground and they will still count towards this quest, so using a sniper rifle or scoped assault rifle you can try to pick off opponents down below you to earn progress.
