Fortnite’s LEGO mode has introduced a massive new expansion known as Lost Isles, offering players a vast tropical island filled with new adventures, biomes, and challenges. Launched on 17th September 2024, Lost Isles brings a host of new features, including unique environments, quests, and exclusive rewards. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or new to the world of LEGO Fortnite, this guide will help you navigate and make the most of this exciting new realm.
Fortnite Lost Isles: A Breakdown of Biomes
The Lost Isles features five distinct biomes, each offering unique environments, creatures, and challenges:
Beach
A scenic area for relaxation, the Beach is home to pirates who regularly roam pirate towns. While lounging on the sand, stay alert as you may encounter these scallywags. Defeating them grants you access to their musket, flint-knock pistol, and dynamite-filled boom shield.
Plains
The home of the friendly Peely Tribe, the Plains are rich with plantain trees and other lush greenery. While exploring, you’ll be called to help the Peely Tribe fend off pirate invaders. Defeat them and earn throwing spears, a powerful ranged weapon exclusive to this area.
Jungle
A dense, wild region filled with unique flora such as hop flowers (which allow you to bounce), slurp plants (which restore health), and bomb flowers (which explode on impact). Beware of the Storm-Wild Tomatoes, a formidable enemy, who drop powerful gear like the explorer’s machete and knockback shield.
Mountains
A breathtaking region that provides sweeping views of the Lost Isles. Pirates have constructed fortresses here, and the wildlife is particularly aggressive. Climb to the peaks to gather resources and claim the rewards hidden within these strongholds.
Floating Islands
These challenging floating structures hover above the main island and are visible from many points across the Lost Isles. While it can be difficult to reach them, the unique loot and creatures found on the Floating Islands make the journey worthwhile.
Gearing Up for Adventure
To survive the Lost Isles, players can craft and upgrade tools using Mahogany, a new resource found on the island. Pirates may drop unique weapons like the Pirate Musket, Flint-Knock Pistol, and Boom Shield. Likewise, the Peely Tribe offers players Throwing Spears, while the Storm-Wild Tomatoes drop the Explorer’s Machete and Knockback Shield. Additionally, the new Rune Forge allows players to craft powerful runes that boost weapon performance using essence collected by chopping trees, gathering plants, or defeating enemies. These runes include:
- Rune of Berserk I-III: Boosts sprint speed and jump height after an attack.
- Rune of Damage I-III: Increases weapon damage.
- Rune of Durability I-III: Increases the tool’s lifespan.
- Rune of Health I-III: Adds a chance for enemies to drop health items when hit.
- Rune of Luck I-III: Improves loot drop chances when defeating enemies.
Friendly Creatures and Dangerous Foes
Lost Isles introduces two notable creatures:
Klombos: These friendly beasts can be found in jungle lagoons. To tame and ride them, feed them Klomberries, which can also be replanted on the mainland for future use. Once tamed, Klombos will accompany you on your adventures.
Golems: Found roaming the Beach, Plains, and Jungle biomes, these living statues are dangerous enemies. However, defeating them yields valuable resources and the much-needed Rift Shards. These can be used at Battle Bus Stations to traverse the island.
New Foods and Ingredients
Each biome in the Lost Isles contains unique foods that provide buffs and can be replanted on the mainland:
- Beach:
- Bananas: Used in crafting Banana Pancakes, which enhance jump height.
- Coconuts: Used to make Tropical Smoothies, which temporarily increase maximum stamina.
- Plains:
- Pineapples: Lower stamina consumption when used in Hawaiian Pizza.
- Klomberries: Useful for taming Klombos, replant them using a Grain Mill for future use.
- Jungle:
- Tomatoes: Restore health and converted into Tomato Seeds at a Grain Mill.
Toys and Tools for Fun
Exploration in Lost Isles isn’t just about survival. A range of new interactive toys adds fun to the adventure:
- Cannon: Launches both cannonballs and players.
- Free-spin Swivel: Allows connected objects to rotate freely.
- Controllable Swivel: Player-controlled rotation for objects.
- Stink Jar: Creates poisonous gas when thrown.
