Fortnite’s first AI-powered Darth Vader NPC has finally come to the island, allowing players to interact with him in real-time using their voice without the use of written dialogue.
Unlike the Darth Vader Samurai in Fortnite, Anakin Skywalker now spawns in three different locations on the map, making it difficult for players to track him down. He is usually surrounded by Stormtroopers, and he doesn’t have an in-map marker like before, so you need to know the places to take your vehicle and visit them as soon as possible to get the boss on your side.

All AI Darth Vader locations in Fortnite Chapter 6 season 3
Below are the three locations where you can find AI Darth Vader on the Fortnite Island. If you don’t find him in one place, get a vehicle or a spaceship.
Vader Samurai’s Solitude
Even though Darth Vader Samurai has left the island, Darth Vader can still spawn in his original place, which is the easiest place to find him. Land on the eastern side of the point of interest, and you should spot Darth Vader patrolling the area.
We’d recommend you start your search from this position, as it’s very easy to spot from the sky if the boss is here. Otherwise, just land near the X-Wings and take off to the next areas.
Outpost south of Canyon Crossing
Vader can also spawn on the south side of the Canyon Crossing point of interest. You can reach this place by taking the tunnel down the snowy hills. Once you come out of the tunnel, drive straight, and you should find the place where Darth Vader is walking with his Stormtroopers.
Southeastern side of Foxy Floodgate
Lastly, Darth Vader can also spawn on the southeastern side of Foxy Floodgate beyond the snowy mountain, and he usually roams the streets here. You can also go to the Republic Outpost here and go straight in the northern direction to find the Chosen One.
Once you find him, you need to fight and take him down. After you exhaust his health, he should bow down to you and open his portal. You can go inside the portal to get his lightsaber and Force ability while also adding him to your party. His power ability is jumping at enemies while also pulling them toward you to demolish their hopes of getting a victory royale.
You can also talk to him using your in-game voice chat by holding Y on your keyboard. He’ll give you words of encouragement to embrace your dark side and win matches.
