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 the Mother of Thorns Doja Cat in Fortnite.

Doja Cat Mother of Thorns boss location in Fortnite
You can find Doja Cat at three different spots around the island. These locations are:
- Close to the massive red barn near the southern end of Freaky Fields.
- Around the middle region of Gourdy Gate.
- Near the center of the Halloween area, situated slightly southwest of Supernova Academy.
The Mother of Thorns' spawn location seems to be a bit random and unpredictable, but we've only ever seen her at these three spots. When Doja Cat is present at either of these locations, a skull icon with a crown will appear on the map when you're close to this POI. We're still testing to see if she has other spawn locations, but for now, your best bet is Freaky Fields, Gourdy Gate, and near Supernova Academy.
At both of these spots, you'll find her sitting on a glowing red throne made up of twisted vines. Her throne blends in with the environment quite well, so make sure you're looking around carefully to avoid missing her.
How to beat Mother of Thorns Doja Cat in Fortnite
Doja Cat is more of a mini boss rather than a main one, so she's fairly easy to beat with minimal health and shields. While bigger bosses oftentimes have some special mechanics, 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. Her aim is generally pretty bad, so as long as you're careful, you should have no issues taking her out. She does have a Thorn Ripper that can pull you in, so be sure to watch out for it.
How to get Mythic Thorn Ripper in Fortnite
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. This item is essentially a reskinned version of the Chain of Hades from Chapter Five, season two.
All Mother of Thorns Doja Cat boss drops in Fortnite
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.
There's plenty more to uncover around the island with Doja Cat now at your side. Next, you might work on becoming Ghostface, completing all Egg-cellent Observations story quests, using an Ascender and a Zipline in the same match, and completing a Hunter SHADOW Briefing.
