Each new season in Fortnite brings with it fresh storyline quests. Chapter 5, Season 2, started with the Oracle's Snapshot, Aphrodite's Snapshot, and Cerberus' Snapshot quests. These missions tasked players with earning the favor of deities now ruling over the Fortnite map. Today, Epic Games unveiled the season's concluding series of story missions, titled 'Medusa's Snapshot.' In this narrative arc, players assist Medusa in her battle against Zeus to restore peace to Fortnite. One key challenge involves 'Defeating Minions to Buy Time for Medusa'. This guide will explain what the Minions are and how to defeat them in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.

What Are Minions in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2?

Epic Games often crafts their quests in a way that can leave players confused about their objectives. Each update brings a slew of new NPCs, weapons, items, and mechanics. Personally, I found this quest challenging as it wasn’t immediately clear who the Minions were. Initially, I expected to encounter new enemies. However, it turned out to be quite straightforward.

In the game, Minions are the henchmen of bosses like Zeus, Hades, and Ares. Notably, Cerberus' Wolves do not qualify as Minions for this quest.

Completing the quest 'Defeat Minions to Buy Time for Medusa' simply involves eliminating six boss henchmen. You can summon any of the three bosses mentioned and defeat six of their Minions to advance in the Snapshot stages.

We recommend targeting Ares since his point of interest (POI) tends to be less crowded, reducing the likelihood of conflicts with other players. It’s crucial to maintain full Health and Shields, as the Minions can be highly accurate and inflict significant damage quickly.
