How to eliminate a henchman in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 1

Many quests you are asked to tackle in Fortnite challenge you to find or interact with obscure gameplay features. One such mission tasks you with eliminating a henchman, which is one of the trickiest types of NPCs to locate.

Finding any specific character around the island is difficult since it’s quite large and they aren’t marked. Henchmen are extra tough to pinpoint since they don’t spawn on their own, so if you’re struggling to work through this quest, here’s how to eliminate a henchman in Fortnite.

Where to find a henchman in Fortnite

Henchmen can be found anywhere where a boss is hanging out on the island in Fortnite. They only spawn with bosses, so you’ll need to locate one to encounter a loyal henchman following them around. Every boss has two henchmen following them.

There are a few different bosses you can find wandering around the island, including Human Bill, Beach Brutus, and Hush. All bosses rotate between various locations in each round, so there’s no way to know where each one will appear. The only indication you have to go off is a skull with a crown icon that appears on your map once you’re fairly close to a boss. This icon always marks a boss’s location, and thus some henchmen too.

The special mini bosses, Yuki and Gogo, also spawn with some henchmen. To find them, you have to locate a Forsaken Vow Rift Gate. You earn a Forsaken Vow Blade for entering one, and can use it to take down both Kill Bill bosses and two henchmen after you exit.

If you come across a player who has defeated a boss and become one, you have a slight chance of encountering a henchman then, too. Players who possess a boss Medallion can activate it occasionally to summon two henchmen through a special rift.

This ability has a long cooldown and is entirely up to the enemy players’ discretion to use, though, so you’ll have to wait and hope that it actually happens. This method of finding a henchman is a lot less reliable because of this, so it’s best to focus on finding an NPC boss to get it done.

Eliminate a henchman in Fortnite

To complete the eliminate a henchman quest, you simply need to vanquish one henchman in battle. It’s a fairly easy mission to get done once you locate one, as finding one is by far the trickiest aspect. Fighting one is quick since they have terrible aim and not much health to sustain them. You can even use your Pickaxe to take them out in just a few strikes, although a gun will be even quicker.

If you’re looking for more missions to tackle after completing this one, there are plenty of other tasks to choose from. Next, you might try working on jumping from Sunset Falls into the water below, completing all Born in Chaos quests, finding some hired specialists, and spreading the newspapers about Kingston’s new movie.

Blight is an annoying obstacle you’ll encounter throughout your exploration in Arknights Endfield. Although it can be destroyed, you won’t be able to do so unless you’re aware of these methods.

How to clear Blight in Arknights: Endfield

If a Blight formation has a visible Blight Core, you can destroy it directly by attacking the core. Visible Blight Cores appear as bright red lights located somewhere within the Blight itself. Just be careful not to touch it directly, as it will kill with extended exposure.

In a lot of cases, the Blight Core will be within reach for you to attack with one of your characters, but many others won’t be. Many Blight formations you come across will have Blight Cores you can’t get to or won’t be able to see at all. Fortunately, there is a solution for both issues.

How to destroy out-of-reach Blight Cores

For Blight Cores you can actively see but can’t reach directly, you can use Industrial Explosives to destroy them instead.

Industrial Explosives are special consumables crafted at your base that can be thrown at the cores once you’ve made them.

How to destroy invisible Blight Cores

If you encounter a Blight formation with an invisible Blight Core, you won’t be able to do a thing to them initially. Blight formations with no visible Blight Core cannot be destroyed until you’ve progressed the Main Story far enough to obtain the Blight Decryption Device, which will allow you to use the Scanner to expose undetected Blight Cores.

When you have the Blight Decryption Device unlocked, all you need to do is go near a Blight formation and use the Scan function to reveal its hidden core. Then, simply use the above-mentioned methods to destroy it and clear the Blight out of your way.

How to Craft Industrial Explosives in Arknights: Endfield

To even begin to craft Industrial Explosives at your base, you’ll need to have progressed far enough to have unlocked the Basic AIC Plan mechanic, which allows you to research improvements for your overall base. Specifically, you need to unlock the Packaging Tech node under Basic AIC II to gain access to the Industrial Explosives blueprints.

Industrial Explosives are produced via a Packaging Unit structure. The reagents you need to funnel into the craft are listed below:

• 5 x Amethyst Part – Process Amethyst Fibers at a Fitting Unit to produce these materials. Amethyst Fibers are made from refining Amethyst Ore at a Refining Unit.
• 1 x Aketine Powder – Process Aketine plants at a Shredding Unit to produce this material. You can find Aketine plants in the Valley Pass region, around the Abandoned Trail. They can also be grown using a Planting Unit or grown as crops directly via the Eco-Farm.

I highly recommend you automate the entire processing chain for producing the above materials, as you will need to use a lot of Industrial Explosives throughout your time in Arknights Endfield, so having them mass-produced without your input is nothing but a benefit for you.
