Leave me be, warmonger. I prefer more subtle methods of combat.
I can't imagine being the god of only one thing. It must be terribly boring.

_-_Location_-_Fortnite.png "Brawler's Battleground (Ares Statue) - Location - Fortnite.png (3.58 MB)")
_-_Item_-_Fortnite.png "Effigy of Ares (Icon) - Item - Fortnite.png (35 KB)")
The encounter is split into three phases:
Phase 1: ELIMINATE THE MINIONS![]
Three Minions are summoned within the battle arena, all of them have to be defeated to progress to the next phase.
Phase 2: ELIMINATE THE MINIONS![]
Three more Minions are summoned with an additional one appearing when one is eliminated as only three Minions can be present at any time. All four of them have to be defeated to progress to the next phase.
Phase 3: DEFEAT ARES[]
A Rift cracks in the sky as Ares crashes down in flames at the ruined altar and attacks the player. Ares alternates between all of his weapons as the fight progresses, adjusting his fighting style based on which weapon is currently being held.
During this phase, Ares has the following abilities:
- Explosive Landing
- Ares crashes down onto the battlefield, dealing 10 damage in a small radius. This ability is only used when Ares enters the arena.

Chapter 5: Season 1[]
A carving of Ares can be found on Pandora's Box.
Chapter 5: Season 2[]
After Pandora's Box was opened, Ares came along with the other Olympian Gods to punish The Society for opening it and releasing the souls of The Underworld. While Ares did not engage with the Society, he opened the door for all mortal warriors to challenge him at Brawler's Battleground. After The Looper manages to defeat Cerberus, it attracts Ares' attention[8] and he challenges The Looper to a duel[9] which he ends up losing, as well as loosing his medallion to them. He reports back to his father, Zeus about the Looper's strength and victory.[10]Thanks to Ares, Zeus now knows of the Looper's plans and would later ask Cerberus to look into them.
Chapter 5: Season 3[]
Ares, humbled after failing to retain the order of Zeus' Pantheon, fled the Island to the infinite corners of reality with most of the other gods to find a new domain to reign over after Zeus's fall.
