Discovering how to obtain Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite is essential for crafting and building advanced structures. The collaboration of LEGO and Fortnite has been a major success, with players across the globe tuning in to play the new survival game. The LEGO spin-off currently has more players than the original battle royale itself.
One of the most exciting aspects of the open-world game is that you can craft your items. There are plenty of materials for you to collect, and it might not be obvious where some of them can be found. So, we'll take you through where you can find Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite.
Before we begin, feel free to take a look at all Fortnite LEGO skins that you can use. Also, here's everything you need to know about Fortnite Festival.
Where to find Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite
If you're looking for some Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite, you'll need to make your way to a Dry Valley biome. You can find them next to grasslands, which is where you spawn. The terrain is orange-red, and it resembles a desert with all the cacti you will find.
Once you come across cacti, you will need to chop them down to get your Flexwood. However, while locating the cacti is easy, chopping them isn't that simple, as you will need a Rare Forest Axe to do so.
How to make Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite
First things first, you'll need to upgrade your crafting bench. Here are the items that you need:
- 12 Knotroot Rod
- 15 Marble Slab
- 6 Sand Claw
- 3 Sand Shell
You need a Stone Breaker to create Marble Slabs, which you can make with 35 Marble and 20 Knotroots. To find Marble, you'll need to delve into the caves. As for the Sand Claws and Shell, you'll need to defeat some desert monsters such as the San Wolf and the Sand Roller.
To get the Knotroot Rods, look for the Knotroots in caves and harvest them with an Uncommon Forest Axe. You'll need to make the axe with 3 Bones and 3 Wooden Rods. Then, process the Knotroot Wood through a Lumber Mill and you should have some Knotroot Rods.
Once you have upgraded the crafting bench, it can make you Rare items, including the Rare Forest Axe. Here are the materials that you will need to make the axe:
- 5 Cut Amber
- 3 Knotroot Rods
You can get the Cut Amber by cutting up Rough Amber with a Gem Cutter. Rough Amber is found in the same Dry Valley biome as the cacti, while the Gem Cutter needs to be crafted with the following materials:
- 20 Marble Slab
- 5 Rough Amber
- 5 Sand Claw
- 3 Sand Shell
Once you have all the materials required to make the Rare Forest Axe, go ahead and craft it! Now, you should be able to approach the cacti plants and begin chopping them up for Flexwood.
What you can do with Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite
Flexwood, similar to knotroot, is a vital resource that opens access to a higher tier of items. You'll require flexwood in unprocessed or rod forms to upgrade your village to levels 9 and 10.
Flexwood rods are also essential in unlocking new weapons and tools, such as the rare recurve crossbow (crafted with 8 flexwood rods and 1 drawstring), the rare pickaxe (crafted with 3 flexwood rods and 3 sand claws), and the uncommon knight shield (crafted with 8 flexwood rods and 3 cord). It is also needed for constructing vehicles.
