In this guide, we’ll take you through what the River Styx effect in Fortnite is, and how to get it. In Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, the iconic King Midas has made a return, bringing with him a series of engaging story quests for players to embark on. Among these quests lies a particularly intriguing challenge with the River Styx Effect, so let’s find out what it’s all about.
How To Get The River Styx Effect In Fortnite
The Styx River is part of Greek mythology, which is the theme for this Fortnite season. In the Greek Underworld, this river served as the boundary between the land of the living and that of the deceased. Souls departed on their journey to the afterlife were transported across this river by the ferryman Charon.
In Fortnite, you’ll need to find the river on the map to get the River Styx effect. It’s also called the Underworld Dash. This effect gives you the option to dash while jumping, which allows you to travel faster. However, when you dip yourself into the river, you can dash three times, indicated by the number of green skulls around you. You can dip into the river as many times as you like.
To begin your journey towards acquiring the River Styx effect, you’ll need to make your way to the northwest region of the Fortnite map, adjacent to The Underworld area. This area is characterized by a distinct, eerie green-colored river. In fact, any water that is green in Fortnite will give you the effect when you dip yourself into it.
Armed with the River Styx Effect, you can now complete the task of dealing damage to an opposing player to fulfill King Midas’ quest. You can also get this effect by equipping the Medallion – Aspect of Agility, which lets you gain the Underworld Dash ability over time. To get this item, you’ll need to defeat Cerberus in Grim Gate or eliminate the player who holds it.
