Lego Fortnite Knotroot is a special resource and material you'll need to find ASAP when starting out your new world of survival, a special kind of superior wood that serves as a component for many of the better early-game tools and devices in Lego Fortnite. However, it's a lot rarer than the standard kind of wood you've probably been finding, and requires special tools to harvest - so with that in mind, here's how to get Knotroot in Lego Fortnite so you can level up your crafting.
Where to find Lego Fortnite Knotroot
To find Lego Fortnite Knotroot, you need to discover a cave in your game world. From the outside, caves look like a giant rock emerging from the ground, and if you walk around it then you'll find an entrance you can interact with to be teleported into the underground cave. Once you've found a cave, an icon will be added to your map so you can easily return to it later and gather more resources when you need them.
Mining Knotroot
Once you're inside a cave, you can get Knotroot in Lego Fortnite by harvesting the twisted roots you'll find growing out of the sides of the cavern. However, to do this you'll need an Uncommon Forest Axe to chop through the gnarled roots as a common axe won't cut it – pun intended. Those improved items can only be made following a Fortnite Lego Crafting Bench upgrade, so you'll need to put in some preparation first to get the right tool for the job. Once you're armed with a suitable axe, simple hack away at the roots until they're destroyed and a supply of Knotroot will be yours.
