In Lego Fortnite, finding the location of Flexwood is needed for various upgrades and crafting, especially in the mid-to-late game. It’s essentially the desert biome’s equivalent of wood, allowing you to craft better weapons, tools, and even vehicles.
Where do you find Flexwood in Lego Fortnite?
Flexwood in Lego Fortnite lives exclusively in the Dry Valley, the desert biome. This area is easily recognizable by its reddish sands, rocky outcrops, and sparse vegetation. It appears on the map as brown regions.
While finding the Dry Valley is straightforward, acquiring Flexwood itself requires some preparation. You need a Rare Forest Axe to chop down the cacti. This axe becomes available only after upgrading your Crafting Bench to level 3. Be prepared to gather:
- 12 Knotroot Rods
- 15 Marble Slabs
- 6 Sand Claws
- 3 Sand Shells
The Dry Valley gets sweltering, especially during the day. Consider crafting a Cool-Headed Charm (3 Silk Thread, 1 Marble, and 3 Sand Shells) to avoid overheating and slowing down.
Once you’re in the Dry Valley and properly equipped. Locate the iconic spiky green cacti – they’re hard to miss! Swing your Rare Forest Axe at the base of the cactus. It takes about nine swings to chop it down. Each fallen cactus yields around five craftable pieces of Flexwood.
How to get Flexwood without the Rare Forest Axe
If you haven’t reached the Rare Forest Axe stage yet, there’s a temporary solution. Look for large boulders in the Dry Valley. You can push or roll them into cacti, potentially breaking them down and dropping Flexwood. It’s less efficient, but it can help you until you craft the proper tool.
What do you use Flexwood for?
This valuable resource unlocks various upgrades and crafting possibilities:
- Upgrading your village to levels 9 and 10
- Crafting high-tier weapons and tools like the Rare Pickaxe, Rare Recurve Crossbow, and Uncommon Knight Shield
- Building vehicles like the Sand Speeder and Dune Buggy
Remember, preparation is key! With the right tools and knowledge, you’ll be harvesting Flexwood like a desert pro in no time, opening up exciting new horizons in your Lego Fortnite journey.
