Exploring the world in LEGO Fortnite can lead you to perilous locations in search of elusive resources. Today we delve into acquiring an early game resource that may seem challenging to obtain at first. Here's how to get Knotroot in LEGO Fortnite, a task that involves a bit of effort and exploration.
How to Get Knotroot in LEGO: Fortnite
The first thing you need to do before attempting to get Knotroot in LEGO Fortnite is to craft an Uncommon Forest Axe. This is because Knotroot cannot be cut down as easily as you might expect.
To get said Axe, you will have to first upgrade one of your Crafting Benches to make an Uncommon Crafting Bench - as you can see, there are quite a few steps to get Knotroot. Here are the necessary materials for both the Uncommon Crafting Bench and the Uncommon Forest Axe and how to get them.

Uncommon Crafting Bench Upgrade Recipe
- 8x Plank: Process Wood at a Lumber Mill.
- 8x Wood: Collect it from the ground or use an Axe to cut Wood from trees.
- x15 Granite: Find it in the ground in the form of small rocks or use a Pickaxe.
- 3x Shell: Defeat Rollers in the Grasslands to get Shells as a drop.

Uncommon Forest Axe Recipe in LEGO Fortnite
- 3x Bone: Defeat Skeletons at night.
- 3x Wooden Rod: Like Planks, process Wood at a Lumber Mill to get Wooden Rods.

Traveling to the Grasslands Underground Cave in LEGO Fortnite
Once you are all set and have your Uncommon Forest Axe in your inventory, you will need to head to a cave located in the Grasslands biome. This is very important because, depending on your region, the items and resources you get to find inside caves will vary greatly, with Knotroot only appearing in Grassland caves.
Once inside the cave, you will notice a decently sized root-like protrusion at the cave's walls. Well, that's Knotroot for you, and by using your Uncommon Forest Axe, you will be able to hit it and then collect your Knotroot pieces.
Knotroot Uses in LEGO Fortnite
Now that you have Knotroot, you will be able to use it as a crafting resource for more complex recipes and resources such as the Stone Breaker or the Grain Mill. However, the most important item you will get from Knotroot is the Knotrood Rods. You can get these at - yet again - the Lumber Mill and will help you create new items such as a Shovel or the Recursive Crossbow.
