The year is 2026, and Fortnite’s island still whispers of past seasons like old folklore. Among its most enduring legends are the Oni Masks—artefacts birthed during the Hunter’s season of late 2024, yet still crackling with otherworldly power. For players dropping from the Battle Bus today, securing one of these masks feels less like looting a weapon and more like unraveling a secret kept by the land itself.

The Duality of Fire and Void

Two masks dominate the conversation: the Fire Oni Mask and the Void Oni Mask. Each offers a distinct flavor of magic that can tip the scales between defeat and a Victory Royale.

The Void Oni Mask is like an inkstone tear in reality. Equip it, and with a squeeze of the aim button, you can hurl a Void Tear across the terrain. Activate the aim again, and your body dissolves into a streak of shadow, rematerializing exactly where the tear landed. It’s the perfect tool for escaping a storm surge or outfoxing an opponent who thought they had you cornered. The Epic variant grants 15 uses with a 5-second cooldown, while the Mythic Void Oni Mask—a reaper’s cloak in digital form—extends to 50 uses.

By contrast, the Fire Oni Mask channels the fury of a captive phoenix. When fired, it launches a guided flame projectile that homes in on enemies, dealing 100 damage on impact—enough to shatter shields and confidence in one blazing swoop. Should foes cluster together, the fire spreads its vengeance like a vengeful ember catching a dry field. The Epic version holds 8 shots with an 8-second cooldown; the Mythic variant doubles that to 16, making it a relentless siege weapon.

Fortune Favors the Bold (and the Lucky)

There is no single path to these masks. Instead, the island scatters its gifts with the caprice of a spring breeze. Here are the three most common—but unpredictable—ways to acquire them.

• Elemental Chests: Scattered across named POIs, these chests pulse with a faint, magnetic glow. Opening one guarantees an elemental item—either a Boon or an Oni Mask. Yet the chest will not tell you which mask rests inside; it’s a lottery where the winning ticket is drawn by the wind.

• Demon Warriors: Roaming figures marked by an Oni Mask icon on the map, these spectral guardians wield the very masks you seek. Defeating one may yield the mask it carries, be it Void or Fire. But be warned—Demon Warriors are as likely to drop a Typhoon Blade or a Boon as they are to relinquish their true treasure.

• Standard Chests: Even the humblest container can hold a surprise. Every chest on the island has a slim chance to contain an Epic Oni Mask. Approach each with the quiet hope of a miner sifting for opal, though the odds demand patience.

The Guaranteed Routes: Where Legends Become Certainty

For those weary of chance, two methods promise an Oni Mask with the certainty of sunrise.

The first involves Daigo, a sage merchant stationed at Masked Meadows. After completing all stages of his Mask Expertise Quests—a series of trials testing your skill with these artefacts—Daigo will sell both the Void and Fire Oni Masks for Gold Bars. Think of him as a master swordsmith who only trades with proven warriors.

Yet the most ingenious shortcut lies beneath Masked Meadows itself. On the north side of the settlement, a nondescript building hides a staircase leading to Daigo’s hidden workshop. Inside, a strange machine stands glowing, two masks affixed to its surface like guardians at a shrine. Loot this machine as you would any chest, and it yields both masks instantly—no quests, no gold, just pure efficiency. This workshop feels like the island’s own confession, a secret handed to those who know where to look.

Ascending to Mythic: The Boss Gauntlet

Epic masks are formidable, but true masters crave the Mythic variants. To claim them, you must cut down two of the island’s most fearsome adversaries.

The Mythic Void Oni Mask belongs to Night Rose, who presides over Demon’s Dojo. Her combat is a dance of shadows and silence; defeating her feels like outwitting a moonless night.

For the Mythic Fire Oni Mask, seek Shogun X, a wandering warlord who patrols Shogun’s Arena. He fights with the heat of a thousand suns, and his mask amplifies that fury. The battle is a crucible, and emerging victorious gifts you a mask capable of sixteen searing shots.

Both Mythic masks function identically to their Epic counterparts—only now they carry more charges, transforming you from a capable fighter into a force of elemental reckoning.

A Timeless Pursuit

Even in 2026, the Oni Masks remain etched into Fortnite’s identity like runes on an ancient blade. Whether you seek them through luck, questing, or the cunning route of the hidden workshop, each mask whispers the same promise: power for those willing to reach into the mythic. The island remembers every champion who wielded them. Now it’s your turn.
