In LEGO Fortnite, players can unearth the rare Obsidian ore, a scarce resource that is exclusively located in specific areas.
There are many different types of obtainable ores in LEGO Fortnite, including Marble and Amber, but Obsidian is an incredibly useful late-game element that players should strive to get as soon as possible. Here is how you acquire Obsidian and what you can use it for in LEGO Fortnite.
Where to Find Obsidian in LEGO Fortnite
Obsidian can be found in Lava Caves throughout the Dry Valley biome in LEGO Fortnite. The Dry Valley is easy to notice, as it’s a desert environment with different mesas and cacti spread throughout. When players enter the Lava Caves, they must watch for dark purple rock attached to the walls or the ceiling of the cave system.
To mine Obsidian, there are several items players will need. Unfortunately, you cannot simply walk into the Dry Valley as it’s too hot, and the ore cannot be mined with a simple Pickaxe. Below are the minimum items needed:
- 3x Cool-Headed Charms (Uncommon)
- 9x Silk Thread, 3x Marble, 9x Sand Shell
- Pickaxe (Rare)
- 3x Flexwood Rods, 3x Sand Claws
After crafting and equipping these items, make sure to bring food to fight your character’s hunger and make your way to the Lava Caves in the Dry Valley to mine the Obsidian veins.
