Fortnite Ushers in a Mythic Era with Myths & Monsters: Unleash the Power of the Wings of Icarus
Fortnite's latest season, Myths & Monsters, introduces a fascinating twist on Greek mythology, offering players new adventures with its refreshed Battle Pass. Among the intriguing new Points of Interest (POIs) and arsenal updates, the Wings of Icarus stands out as a game-changing addition. This powerful artifact grants players unparalleled aerial mobility, turning the tides of battle with its promise of freedom in the skies.
Chapter 5 Season 2 is packed with thrilling features, but the Wings of Icarus steals the spotlight. However, acquiring this coveted item is a quest in itself, with its location and operation intriguing players eager for aerial dominance.
Securing the Wings of Icarus

Epic in rarity, the Wings of Icarus can be unearthed in random chests, but with better odds in season-themed Olympus and Underworld Chests situated around Mount Olympus and The Underworld POIs. These chests not only yield the Wings of Icarus but also offer valuable XP. While finding them may require some patience, diligent chest hunting or spotting players already in flight—thanks to the Visual Sound Effects feature—can lead to success.
Mastering the Skies with the Wings of Icarus

Armed with the Wings of Icarus, players can take to the skies in style, but must heed the limitations of their newfound power. With an initial charge of 300 that doesn't regenerate, managing this resource is crucial. Falling from great heights due to damage or depleted charge spells doom, although a depleted charge ensures a soft landing. Upon landing with no charge, the wings vanish, leaving a visual cue of their wear and tear.
Equipping the wings transforms the player's Back Bling into a set of majestic wings, and taking flight is as simple as pressing R2/Left-Click. While airborne, players can:
- Boost to accelerate their flight at the cost of extra charge,
- Dive Bomb to plummet towards enemies, dealing impact damage,
- Dodge left or right to avoid attacks, enhancing their aerial maneuverability.
As Fortnite's mythic season unfolds, the Wings of Icarus beckons players to embrace the skies, promising a blend of strategy, mobility, and exhilaration in the battle for Victory Royale.
