After you realize how hard it is to get Knotroot Wood, you’ll think putting Knotroot Rods together is a walk in the park. Just like with making Wooden Rods, you’ll have to acquire Knotroot Wood in order to make Knotroot Rods. The only problem is that it’ll take a few steps before you’re even ready for that task:

Preparing to Get Knotroot Wood

Caves are the best and only farming spots for Knotroot Wood in LEGO Fortnite, and they’re easy enough to come by. However, you’ll need at least an Uncommon Forest Axe to cut the vines down. That will require a bit of fighting, as it takes three bones and three wooden rods to create the harvesting tool, meaning some skeletons will have to be eliminated. After you’ve taken care of your undead friends or found some of their remains around your world, such as in chests, you can create your Uncommon Forest Axe and head to the nearest cave.

Locating Knotroot Wood

If you’re unsure of where to find caves, you can locate them by opening up the map in LEGO Fortnite and looking for a small cave icon. That will tell you where the nearest cave is. If it’s a bit of a hike, make sure to bring enough food for the journey and any items that will help you survive in harsh conditions if you’re going to enter any.

Cutting Down Knotroot Wood

Knotroot Wood can be found growing out of the floors, walls, and ceilings of caves, and they look like relatively pale twisted roots. They’re not easy to miss. After doing some chopping and fending off any enemies you come across, you’ll be able to take your Knotroot Wood back to your settlement and begin making Knotroot Rods in LEGO Fortnite.

After returning home with Knotroot Wood, you’ll need to make sure you have a Lumber Mill set up to continue the process. Building that will require eight Wood and 15 Granite, but it’ll be worth it because turning Wood into Rods is an essential part of LEGO Fortnite.

With the Lumber Mill ready, you can place your Knotroot Wood inside of it and get one Knotroot Rod per piece of wood. It’s smooth sailing after that, as you can begin using Knotroot Rods for your various creative endeavors, including crafting tools like Pickaxes and Shovels and more exciting items like Dynamite and Crossbows.

And that’s how to get Knotroot Rods in LEGO Fortnite. If you’re looking for more, here’s how to fast travel using the Battle Bus in the popular mode.
