For the duration of Fortnitemares, there are some special characters lurking around the island in Fortnite. One of the unique bosses you can go up against is the iconic rapper and singer Doja Cat.
Doja Cat offers a special item you can’t find anywhere else, and will also join your team if you manage to best her in battle. She won’t be around forever, so if you want to ensure you get to meet up with her before she leaves, here’s how to find and beat Doja Cat in Fortnite.
Doja Cat boss location in Fortnite

You can find Doja Cat close to the massive red barn at Freaky Fields. She doesn’t always seem to spawn here, but when she does, a boss icon will appear on the map when you’re close to this POI. You’ll find her sitting on a glowing red throne made up of twisted vines.

Doja Cat is more of a mini boss rather than a main one, so she’s fairly easy to beat, and there are no special tricks for taking her down. Instead, simply fire at her with everything you’ve got until her health bar is depleted.

The Mythic Thorn Ripper item can only be obtained by defeating Doja Cat. She only has one in stock, and it drops automatically as soon as you beat her in battle.

The Doja Cat boss drops a Mythic Thorn Ripper item and a few weapons and healing items that aren’t exclusive to her. She also becomes a hired NPC as soon as you defeat her, granting you a helpful ally for the rest of the round. Like all NPCs, she can perish if too much damage is taken, so try to ensure you don’t leave her alone in any tough battles if you want to keep her alive.
