One of the season quests requires you to dash three times within ten seconds while affected by the Underworld Dash effect.

Tracking the quest will mark the newly added POI, River Styx, on your map. Making contact with the green water flowing in the river will affect you with Underworld Dash. You will know you have been affected after three green skulls start floating around your character. Underworld Dash will last for two minutes after the skulls appear.

To dash using the effect, you are simply required to double-jump. Press jump, and while you are still in the air, press the jump button again. This will cause your character to lunge forward with great speed. There is no cooldown period between the dashes.

Hence, you should be able to dash three times within the given time frame easily. Ensure that you jump again as soon as you touch the ground. It is a great tool to manoeuvre during the duel and cover distance quickly in Fortnite. Devs did a brilliant job by adding this unique feature as it brings a new flavour to the battle royale.
