Make a cold-blooded charm

When you have a rare or higher pickaxe, you must head to the Dry Valley (desert) biome on your map. In our world, this biome was located in the southeast corner and it took a while to find it. Once you arrive at this biome, you should collect three Sand Shells.

This is because you need to create a Cool Head Charm to be able to survive the lava caves you will soon enter.

Here is the recipe for making a Cool Head Charm in Lego Fortnite:

  • x3 Silk Thread
  • x1 Marble
  • x3 sand shells

Find a lava cave

Once you’ve done that, explore the Dry Valley biome looking for a cave. Caves in this biome are usually “lava caves” and are marked with the same symbol on your map as caves in other areas. You will know if you have found a lava cave because you will be warned that you are hot or burning when entering it.

If you’re warned that you’re burning out, get out quickly – but that shouldn’t happen if you possess 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 are looking for, hit them with your rare pickaxe to harvest the obsidian.
