Where to find Obsidian in LEGO Fortnite
In LEGO Fortnite, Obsidian can be found in lava caves in the more arid Dry Valley biomes of the map. While they can be hard to find, entering them will transport you inside an exceptionally hot space, so be sure to have plenty of items, food and materials that can cool you down.
Additionally, as the name suggests, you’ll have to navigate pools of lava once you’re inside, so be sure to mind your step. Unless you're in Creative Mode that is. In which case, feel free to float toward it.
Once in there, the Obsidian will be hanging in deposits on the walks and need to be hit with a pickaxe several times to break it off. Make sure you’re either taking a few pickaxes with you or one with high durability so they won’t break so easily.
