Fortnite is no longer just a simple battle royale in comic graphics. The creative mode gave players the opportunity to build their own games and levels. A creator has now made a boss fight that is worthy of MMO and JRPG.
How can you fight the raid boss? Since Fortnite introduced the creative mode, players can create levels that are sometimes more and sometimes less impressive. The mode offers more than you might think, and it is significantly more extensive than a simple map editor.
The user sigrs released his own raid boss, reminiscent of boss fights in MMORPGs. You can fight the god-like being with up to 6 players. To play the level, you only need the level code: 8699-5345-4889.
You can also fight the battle with various skins of your favorite characters, many from the Marvel universe:

A fight with classes and boss mechanics
What does the level offer? Before you start the game, you can choose one of the 3 classes. This determines which equipment you get for the fight.
- Assault: Classic DPS class
- Vanguard: Is basically the tank and can give allies a shield
- Support: Can heal the team
The boss itself has small mechanics where positioning is important. Like in an MMO, the next attack is visualized by a red field, and you must try to dodge it as best as you can. Visually, the boss is a humanoid giant, reminiscent of final bosses in JRPGs.
You can see what the fight might look like in the YouTube video from user RoyaleMishMash:
The fight is really hard
The fight against the boss is not a walk in the park even with multiple people. He has several attacks that can only be dodged in small areas. Due to the third-person perspective, dodging is also hard to estimate perspective-wise if you don’t know exactly where the safe spots are.
As Kotaku reports, the creator of the raid boss is a Japanese indie developer who already had experience with Unreal Engine. The quality of the raid boss speaks volumes and shows how much is possible in creative mode with the right know-how.
And who knows, maybe someone will create an entirely new genre or complete game in creative mode, just as new genres were invented in the Warcraft 3 editor back in the day.
