Fortnite: Where to find Krampus boss & how to beat him

A lot, including Krampus, has arrived in Fortnite with the 2023 Winterfest event. If you want to visit the most dominant NPC on the Chapter 5 Season 1 map, here’s the location of the Krampus boss and how you can beat him to get amazing loot.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 has arrived with a brand new map and theme and the Winterfest 2023 event added even more engaging content such as quests and free rewards. As usual, the event will be live only for a few days and you might want to interact with all the new NPCs and complete their quests ahead of it.

Krampus is arguably the most aggressive NPC introduced to Fortnite with the Christmas update. You can land near the boss and beat him to get great loot. Due to the XP quests that require interacting with Krampus, his spawn location might be too crowded like some of the other best landing spots.

On that note, here’s how you can find and beat Krampus in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1.

Where is Krampus in Fortnite Chapter 5?

Krampus is located directly south of Hazy Hillside in a dark cabin that has a roof covered with snow in Fortnite Chapter 5. Landing here will also unlock the Cliffside Lodge landmark on your map, and Krampus will be inside the house guarding his present stash.

The boss wields the Brat Catcher Pickaxe and a close-range fight with him can be intimidating.

Where is Krampus’ present stash?

Krampus’ present stash in Fortnite Chapter 5 is right outside the door on the southwestern edge of the Cliffside Lodge. Both Krampus’ and his stash’s location are quite important for a few quests and you can find the exact details below:

How to beat Krampus in Fortnite

Krampus has a massive pickaxe and sprints and jumps a lot more than other bosses in Fortnite, which is why we recommend using long-range weapons to beat him. He won’t follow you after getting tired and this is when you can use a sniper or a rifle to deal damage.

Avoid being too close to the boss, especially inside the lodge, as he can take you out in a few hits. Defeating Krampus doesn’t drop his pickaxe, but you get a Rare chest which is guaranteed to have high-rarity weapons and other amazing items.

All Krampus quests in Fortnite and how to complete them

Here are all the quests related to Krampus in Fortnite and how you can complete them:

Krampus quest	How to complete
Disguise yourself as a Sneaky Snowmando near Krampus	Find a Sneaky Snowmando through floor loot and chests. You can’t get it from Leelah anymore. Then, visit Krampus’ location mentioned above and use the item.
Deploy a beacon at Krampus’s Present Stash	Head to the location of the present stash and interact with the beacon. Be careful that the boss doesn’t attack you in the process.
Eliminate Krampus to save Winterfest	Maintain distance and deal damage to Krampus steadily from a safe range.

To complete all the quests in one go, we recommend using the Sneaky Snowmando and deploying the beacon first. Killing Krampus at last won’t compel you to visit the NPC again.
