How to get Obsidian in Lego Fortnite
To get Obsidian in Lego Fortnite you need a Rare Pickaxe (or higher) and a Lava Cave.
Make a Rare Pickaxe
To make a Rare Pickaxe you will need to upgrade your Crafting Bench to the Rare Tier by using:
- x12 Knotroot Rods
- x15 Marble Slabs
- x6 Sand Claws - Can be gathered by defeating Wolves in the Dry Valley Biome.
- x3 Sand Shells - Can be gathered by defeating Rollers in the Dry Valley Biome.
Once you've upgraded your crafting bench, you can craft a Rare Pickaxe by using:
- x3 Flexwood Rods
- x3 Sand Claws
Make a Cool-Headed Charm
When you've got a Rare Pickaxe or higher, you need to head to the Dry Valley (desert) biome on your map. In our world, this biome was located in the south east corner and it took a while to find it. Once you get to this biome you should collect three Sand Shells.
This is because you need to make a Cool-Headed Charm to be able to survive the Lava Caves you will shortly be entering.
Here's the recipe for making a Cool-Headed Charm in Lego Fortnite:
- x3 Silk Thread
- x1 Marble
- x3 Sand Shells
When you've made this, make sure it has been moved out of your inventory storage into your equipment slot so that it activates:
Find a Lava Cave
Once you've done this, explore the Dry Valley biome for a cave. Caves in this biome are typically 'Lava Caves' and are marked with the same symbol on your map as caves in other areas. You will know if you've found a Lava Cave as you will be warned that you are either hot or burning while entering it.
If you're being warned that you're burning, make a swift exit - but this shouldn't happen if you have the Cool-Headed Charm.
When you're safely inside a Lava Cave, look around for dark purple/blue formations growing on the walls. They can be at ground level or much higher. These formations are what you're looking for, hit them with your Rare Pickaxe to harvest Obsidian.
How to make Obsidian Slabs in Lego Fortnite
To make Obsidian Slabs in Lego Fortnite you need to have Obsidian and a Stone Breaker machine.
If you don't already have one, you can build a Stone Breaker machine in Lego Fortnite by using:
- x25 Knotroot
- x35 Marble
When you have a Stone Breaker machine, interact with it and select the 'Obsidian Slab' recipe from the left side of the menu that appears. This recipe will automatically be added to your Stone Breaker list once you've collected Obsidian once.
Confirm you want to make this recipe and then use the 'Input' option at the top of the Stone Breaker menu to put in the amount of Obsidian you want to turn into Obsidian Slabs. The cost is one Obsidian will make one Obsidian Slab.
Once you place a material into the machine it will automatically begin to make Slabs. When the machine has finished processing, you can use the prompted command at the end of the processing bar at the top of the Stone Breaker menu to collect your Obsidian Slabs.
