Fortnite Peter Griffin guide: how to unlock the skin and beat the boss

If there’s one thing you can count on in each season of Fortnite, it’s that there will be an exciting new crossover or two to keep various fandoms on their toes. We’ve seen everything from Star Wars to Attack on Titan to Futurama, and chapter 5, season 1 is here to surprise us yet again with the shocking addition of Family Guy‘s Peter Griffin. The beloved cartoon character makes an appearance in multiple capacities, serving both as a boss that can be defeated and a skin that you can unlock in the battle pass. In this guide, we’ll tell you how to get the skin for yourself, as well as how to tackle the boss battle against everyone’s favorite lovable oaf.

How to get the Peter Griffin skin

Peter Griffin’s skins can be unlocked in the chapter 5, season 1 battle pass, which can be purchased for 950 V-Bucks.

You’ll find Peter Griffin’s first skin on Page 11 of the battle pass, so you’ll need to reach level 70 to unlock it. However, you can also score two alternate skins for the character by completing all 100 levels of the battle pass and proceeding to Page 2 of the Bonus Rewards section. It’s also possible that additional Peter Griffin alternate skins will be added to these Bonus Rewards in the coming weeks as new skins are revealed for this extra layer of the battle pass.

How to beat the Peter Griffin boss

Peter Griffin can be found at Snooty Steppes. He’s encountered in the large villa on the highest steppe on the far left side of the point of interest.

Seeing as he’s a boss, it’s best that you come into the battle well-prepared, so loot the surrounding area for at least a gun or two, plenty of ammo, and full shields. When you’re ready to face him, head inside to find him walking around wearing his golden suit, at which point he’s likely to notice you, too, and begin firing.

Start the fight off by aiming for his rather large head and dealing out as much damage as possible while staying close to a pillar or wall you can use to hide behind if needed. He’ll charge at you, so make use of this cover to reload and then pop back out for more damage opportunities when he’s doing the same. Beware that he may throw some explosives at you, so don’t hesitate and end up blown to smithereens. If you need to recoup, find a safe spot and heal up quickly, then resume your assault.

When Peter Griffin goes down, you can loot him for his Mythic Hammer Pump Shotgun and a boss medallion you can pick up to constantly regain shields throughout the remainder of the match. You can also use the medallion to open the vault nearby to find some chests and a Weapon Mod Bench.

How to get a gun in Another Crab’s Treasure
Kril has a gun

Another Crab's Treasure no doubt looks like a kid-friendly game, but hiding beneath its charming and cute exterior is a challenging soulslike experience that can test the mettle of genre veterans. Those who either can't or don't want to engage with such intense difficulty throughout this underwater adventure can make great use of a variety of assists. Among these is a rather shocking, but hilarious option that can completely negate nearly all of the game's challenge while providing some laughs along the way. Here's how to get a gun in Another Crab's Treasure.
How to get a gun
To give yourself a gun in Another Crab's Treasure, head over to the Settings menu. Navigate to Assist Mode at the bottom of the menu, then scroll to the bottom once more to a setting called Give Kril a Gun. Toggle this on, then back out and resume your game to find that Kril now has a massive pistol on his back in place of a shell.

This new gun on your back provides you with more than just a funny visual, though -- it actually allows you to shoot and kill any enemy in a single hit, nearly eliminating all of the challenge from the game. Additionally, if you're after trophies or achievements, the first time you shoot a crab with the gun will also unlock "This Kills the Crab."

How to unlock fast travel in Another Crab’s Treasure

Another Crab's Treasure is a fantastical soulslike set deep under the ocean where danger lurks around every corner. And like other games in the genre, it's often brutally difficult to overcome the various challenges you'll encounter. As such, you may find yourself wanting to backtrack for level grinding, to uncover new secrets, or to buy additional items in the game's main hub. However, you may notice early in the game that you haven't yet unlocked the ability to fast travel between the multitude of Moon Snail Shells (aka "bonfires") you've found. Here's how and when you'll unlock fast travel.
How to unlock fast travel
In the opening hours of the game, you may notice that you can access your skill tree, which will show a skill called Shelleportation. But you may be discouraged to see that you aren't able to apply any points to it yet. That's because the game doesn't open up this feature until you've advanced a few hours into the story.

To unlock fast travel, you'll need to work your way through the first few main areas of the game until you reach a boss called the Polluted Platoon Pathfinder. After beating this baddie, you'll soon find yourself teleporting to the Moon Snail's Domain. Here, you'll learn about the power of Umami, as well as unlock access to your skill tree.

Another Crab's Treasure

If you're looking for a quirky underwater adventure, Another Crab's Treasure has you covered with its kelp forests, unusual sand-dwelling NPCs, and creative gameplay mechanics. However, it's worth noting that it's also a challenging soulslike experience that is certain to leave you facing off against some enemies multiple times before felling them. One way to help this along is to invest in the game's skills, which often grant you some entirely new attacks or passive abilities that drastically change up the way you approach combat.

There are three skill trees, but you can mix and match between them as you see fit. And luckily, thorough explorers shouldn't have a problem unlocking most of the skills by the end of the game. Here are our picks for the best ones to buy first to increase your chances of getting there.
