Survive the deep dark caves in Lego Fortnite with these simple tips.

Additionally, you may wonder if you can build in one of the other biomes, or if you should establish your village near them to be close to resources. Here in this guide we will explain the benefits and restrictions of each biome, and what you can expect when building your village in either one.

Updated on January 17, 2025 by Connie Watson: With the new Lost Isles biome and the Storm King’s invasion, there are more places to build a village, and more resources to obtain for crafting. We’ve updated this guide to include all the new information.

Where Should You Build Your Village?

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Left: Village in Grasslands, middle: village in Dry Valley, right: village in Frostlands

In Lego Fortnite you’ll find three main biomes: The Grasslands, Dry Valley, and The Frostlands.

Where you build your village will solely depend on how far along you are in the game. Two of the three biomes have extreme temperatures that can damage your health without proper protection. The enemies you’ll find there are also stronger and more dangerous.

If you just started a brand new world, your first village should be built in the Grasslands. This will allow you to forage and progress until you can visit the other biomes.

Let’s go over each biome individually to explain what resources they provide, what animals you’ll encounter, and what you’ll need to build a village in each one.

The Grasslands: Tips, Resources, And Food Sources

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: looking at Grasslands landscape.

The Grasslands are full of sweeping plains, rolling hills, and rich green grass.

It has a temperate climate, so the only times you have to worry about being cold is during the night or sometimes when it rains.

You’ll find caves scattered all over the landscape of The Grasslands. We recommend finding a flat area that’s near one of the caves as you’ll need to enter it often to harvest resources.

When you’re ready to start building your base, you’ll first need to craft a Village Square, which requires the following ingredients:

Village Square Recipe

12 x Wood

When you’re able to, building a fence around your village can help lower the chances of enemies invading your base.

A few skeletons may spawn inside, still, but you’ll have to deal with far fewer enemies at night this way.

What Building And Crafting Resources Can You Find In the Grasslands?

As you walk around the grasslands, you’ll come across pieces of wood and granite on the ground you can pick up until you begin making tools.

Once you have some tools, you can begin harvesting the various trees, rocks, and underground areas for building resources such as:

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Left: trees, right: wood in inventory.

Wood

Can be harvested from any of the trees, logs on the ground, or roots underground.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Left: standing in front of a rock, right: showing granite in inventory

Granite

You can either pick up rocks on the ground or pickaxe large rocks to get granite.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Left: Bush, right: Vines in inventory.

Vines

These you can get by breaking any of the bushes, or when you harvest pumpkins and corn.

Digging For Sand In Lego Fortnite Odyssey.

Sand

You can dig up Sand with a shovel either in The Shore biome, which is usually near Grasslands, or in the Dry Valley biome. The sand can be used in the Metal Smelter to create glass.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Left: Standing by some knotroot, right: knotroot in inventory.

Knotroot

This can only be found inside the caves in the Grasslands. They look like pale, twisted roots along the walls underground.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Left: Marble on the walls of caves, Right: Marble in inventory.

Marble

Like the knotroot, you’ll only find this in caves in the Grasslands. Marble nodes can be found along the walls or ceilings of the caves. There are also some hills in the Grasslands where you’ll find this resource above ground.

There are wolves all over the grasslands. They’ll either attack you outright, or you’ll come upon them going after some sheep or cows. Kill them, and you’ll get both meat and claws.

Silk

You’ll run into many spiders while foraging and traveling. Kill them, and they’ll drop silk for you, which you can later turn into Silk Thread on the Spinning Wheel.

Finding The Stink Gland In Lego Fortnite Odyssey.

Cursed Bone

It used to be that you could only get Cursed Bones from Bone Wolves inside the Frostland Caves. However, now, you can get them in any biome during the night. Defeat one of the Bone Wolves that come out with the skeletons and it’ll drop a Cursed Bone for you.

Fighting A Bear In Lego Fortnite Odyssey.

Bear Pelt

Bears are a type of monster that you can find roaming around the Grasslands. They are tougher than wolves, but not as tough as the Brutes. Once defeated, they’ll drop a Bear Pelt for you that can be used in crafting recipes like a Rare Health Charm.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Left: fighting with Brute, right: Standing in front of Brute Scale dropped after defeating the brute.

Brute Scale

These monsters are the bosses of the biome and are difficult to defeat. Luckily, you won’t need one until you’re ready for the final crafting table upgrade. You’ll usually find them somewhere along the Shore, but they can also be found in the rolling hills.

What Food Resources Can You Find In The Grasslands?

It won’t be long until you realize you need to eat something to keep your health up.

Luckily, the Grasslands biome is full of food resources that will keep you from starving. Also, as you forage and open chests, you’ll start finding seeds that you can use to grow food in your own village.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Standing in front of meat dropped after killing an animal.

Meat

You can get meat by killing any of the animals, as well as from the scorpions in the caves and hermit crabs on the Shore.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Standing in front of Wheat plots.

Wheat

You won’t find this growing around the Grasslands, but you may find chests that will contain either Wheat Stalks or Wheat Grain that you can plant and grow in your village. When you build a grain mill, you can use it to turn Wheat Grain into Flour for cooking.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Standing in front of a slap berry bush.

Slap berries

You’ll find these on bushes much like the raspberries, but only along the Shore areas. Use the Juicer to turn these into Slap Juice. Eat one berry for one minute of energy regeneration, or one Slap Juice for two minutes of energy regeneration.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Left: Petting a cow, right: receiving milk from the cow.

Milk

If you pet the cows instead of killing them, they’ll drop milk for you! You can also feed them (any berries or vines), and they might drop more. You can drink the milk, or save them to make Chillberry Shakes in the Juicer.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Left: petting a chicken, right: receiving an egg from the chicken.

Eggs

The chickens may be annoying, but petting them will drop eggs. These are good to make Fried Eggs with on the grill, or you can save them for other recipes later.

If you’re wondering how to get your hands on more Blast Powder in Lego Fortnite Odyssey, here’s what you need to know.

The Dry Valley: Tips, Resources, And Food Sources

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Standing, looking at the Dry Valley landscape.

As you progress through the game, you’ll soon unlock recipes requiring resources not readily available in the Grasslands, forcing you to start venturing into the Dry Valley to find these items.

It can be a long walk, depending on the layout of your map, so at some point, you may want to start building a village there.

However, the Dry Valley is very hot, and without the proper protection, it will be difficult to navigate the desert as the heat begins to damage your health.

When you have what you need to survive the desert, establishing a village is a great way to have easier access to the resources the Dry Valley provides.

Additionally, as you upgrade your Dry Valley village, you’ll begin to unlock the Majestic Manors set of build recipes that you can use anywhere you want.

What Building And Crafting Resources Can You Find In The Dry Valley?

Dry Valley has a few basic materials you’ll need for building: Wood, Granite, Vines, and Silk from the sand spiders. However, there are some that you’ll only find in the desert, with a few caveats.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Left: Sand Brute in Dry Valley, right: Sand Brute Scale in inventory.

Sand Brute Scale

The desert version of the Brute, the Sand Brute, is meaner and drops a Sand Brute Scale when defeated. This can be used for some higher-level recipes.

*Sand Shells and Sand Claws can also be found on The Shore.

What Food Resources Can You Find In Dry Valley?

The Desert doesn’t provide as many food options as the Grasslands does. You can still get eggs from chickens, but you won’t find any cows, berries, or pumpkins.

The only two sources of food you’ll find in the desert are meat from killing wolves, chickens, or scorpions, and scavenging some Spicy Peppers.

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Standing by a Spicy Pepper bush.

You are able to plant crops in both Dry Valley and the Frostlands, so when you’re ready to build a village in either of those biomes, bring plenty of soil, fertilizer, and seeds with you so that you’ll always have an available food source.

The Frostlands: Tips, Resources, And Food Sources

Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Looking out over the Frostlands landscape.

The Frostlands is the most dangerous of the three main biomes, and venturing here should only be done after you’ve spent a lot of time in both the other two biomes, leveling up your health and tools.

Even so, having a village in the Frostlands is a great way to be close to this biome’s resources and give you a safe place to wait out the night by building a bed to set as your respawn point.

When you start upgrading your Frostlands village, you’ll begin to unlock the Shogun Palace set of build recipes that can be used anywhere in the game.

What Building And Crafting Resources Can You Find In The Frostlands?

Basic wood and granite can be difficult to find in the Frostlands, so bring plenty of both with you when you first head out there. Vines, however, can be found in abundance by chopping the bushes. And there are frost spiders that drop regular silk.

The resources you’ll find only in the Frostlands are:

What Food Resources Can You Find In The Frostlands?

As with the desert, the Frostlands provides very little in the way of food resources, so before coming out here we suggest bringing plenty of things to eat.

You’ll still be able to get meat from killing wolves, scorpions, cows, and sheep. You can also get milk from the cows up here. The only other food option you’ll find in the Frostlands are chillberries, which are used in the Chillberry Shakes.

The Lost Isles is a large biome in Lego Fortnite Odyssey with a bunch of small mini-biomes within.

But each mini-biome also offers different crafting and food resources for you to use.

The mini-biomes found in Lost Isles are:

  • Jungle
  • Mountains

Thankfully, it doesn’t matter where you decide to build a village, as it all counts for Lost Isles.

What Building And Crafting Resources Can You Find In Lost Isles?
