Last Updated on: 28 December, 2023 | 6:34 AM

If you have been grinding through LEGO Fortnite, you are aware that this game is entirely based on your survival skills. In the brutal alien land of the game, you have to survive defeating skeletons, predators, monsters, etc. To give it a realistic touch, Epic Games even added the feature that players can die because of extreme weather conditions and starvation. So, this is one of the crucial tasks to figure out how to survive the heat before you travel and explore the Desert biome. Don’t worry, if you are a newcomer and have no clue about the process. We have prepared this guide to help you know how to survive the heat in LEGO Fortnite.

If you have seen the LEGO Fortnite map, you have noticed that the mode has different biomes and a huge part of the map is covered by desert. This biome is immensely hot and if you enter without any protection, your journey may end. Though the process of beating heat may seem a bit confusing to players as the game does not have proper instructions for it, there are several ways to do it.

We will proceed to tell you the process of fighting heat, but before that, let’s once check what will happen if you are exposed to extreme heat.

Effects of Being Exposed to Heat in LEGO Fortnite

If you are planning to explore the Lava Caves, you must first know how to protect yourself. Once you enter the desert biome and start exploring Lava Caves, after a point, your character will start getting hot. As the heat level reaches extreme your screen will have a yellow glow and an alert saying, “You Are Hot.” This alert will be on your screen until you do something to reduce your body temperature. Once your body temperature reaches its peak, the game will give you a “You Are Burning” alert.

Now the problem is the matter doesn’t only end with giving you an alert. Rather, the game will start draining your health slowly as your temperature with the “You are Hot” message, and the health draining process accelerates with the “You are Burning” one. This will gradually lead your character towards collapse. So, to prevent this consequence, you must carry items that will help you maintain your temperature. The game has both food items and charms to help you maintain your body temperature when you are in the desert, especially inside a Lava Cave.

Avoid Extreme Heat – Eat Snowberries

The first and easiest option for players to reduce their body temperature is to carry Snowberries in the desert. It is one of the most vital heat-resistant items that will keep you safe for a few minutes in the desert. A single Snowberry can protect you for two minutes in the Lava Caves. So, it is natural that you will try to gather as many as possible before going to explore the desert section of the map.

Initially, you have to visit the outskirt areas of the Frostland to find Snowberries. Gather a few and get back to your village. Now, if you can get a few seeds, you can farm Snowberries and have them whenever you want. The process is not complicated at all. Players only need to follow a few steps.

First, build a Grain Mill. This equipment will help you make Snowberry Seeds. This equipment requires 20X Knotroot rods, 20X Granite slabs, and 3X Shells. While the Shells can be found by defeating Rollers, the other two ingredients will require Lumber Mill and Stone Breaker. Once you have your Grain Mill ready, put them into it and get seeds.

Now, make a Seed Garden and plant seeds. Use fertilizer to grow the seeds faster and have plenty of Snowberries for your future explorations.

However, if you don’t want to go through these and thinking of collecting them from Frostland Outskirts whenever required, that will work.

Avoid Extreme Heat – Make Snowberry Shake

Now that you have a Snowberry farm or have plenty of them in your inventory, you can use them to make one of the best heat-resistant items of the game- Snowberry Shake. If you are confused about why this is the best, that’s simply because Snowberry Shakes increase the heat resistance by 10 minutes.

You need 2 Snowberries and 1 Milk to make the shake, but the twist is the process requires a Juicer. The Juicer requires 2x Planks, 8x Marble Slabs, and 5x Knootroot Rods. Once the equipment is prepared, use Snowberries and Milk to make Snowberry Shake. If you are unsure of how to get Milk, simply interact with the cows. You will find plenty roaming around your village.

Avoid Extreme Heat – Make Cool-Headed Charm

After these two food items, there is a charm that players can use to be safe from extreme heat. The game has several charms to be crafted and these have their specific purposes. So, If you are planning to explore Lava Caves without getting damaged, craft a Cool-Headed Charm. The Charm requires 3x Silk Threads, 1x Marble, and 3x Sand Shells.

This a permanent solution to your heat-damage problem. The only thing you need to craft the charm is the Crafting Bench. Crafting Bench is one of the earliest pieces of equipment to be placed. So, you must have one already. Use it to build the charm and explore the desert without any worries. Cool-Headed Charms not only boost their resistance but help them boost their defense.

Lava Caves are the places where players will get the most valuable resources. So, there’s no way to avoid the Lava Caves. During your playthrough, you have to visit multiple times to desert the biome for various reasons. Therefore, these items are some of the vital things to be crafted and used to avoid death.

That’s all you need to know to survive in the desert biome and avoid extreme heat in LEGO Fortnite. If you are a newcomer without any knowledge of survival games, check out our beginners’ guide for necessary help – A Comprehensive Guide to Get Started in LEGO Fortnite.
