LEGO Fortnite: Lost Isles brings new biomes, items, and enemies
Epic Games has announced the upcoming content drop for LEGO Fortnite, titled Lost Isles, bringing with it a new Style, biomes, items, and more.
LEGO Fortnite is opening up even more areas to be explored in the upcoming update. Lost Isles features five new biomes in a whole new addition to the LEGO Fortnite world, dropping on September 17.
The new biomes come with new creatures to meet, including the highly-anticipated Klombos. They can be found in their native lagoon habitats in the Jungle. Feed a Klombo a Klomberry to make friends with it and so it will act as a steed to accompany you further. There are also Golems roaming the Beach, Plains, and Jungle, reportedly dangerous but also a source of valuable resources like Battle Bus Stations’ Rift Shards if you can hold your own.
To make sure your avatar looks the part, it comes with the Island Adventure Peely Outfit, unlocked automatically when you purchase the Premium Reward Track and featuring its own LEGO and Fortnite Style.
To journey to Lost Isles, you can use any Battle Bus Station. The five different environments are packed full of new items and activities, including different fruits for each biome that add different abilities. Here’s a breakdown of them all.
| Biome | Description | Image |
|---|---|---|
| Beach | The Beach is a great place to pursue relaxation… just be careful of the Pirates landlubbin’ in and out of Pirate Towns. Mind your sea legs — these scallywag dogs will be setting their sights your way! |  |
| Plains | The Plains are anything but plain, but they’re plenty plantain — this biome is the home of the Peely Tribe! (Yes we know plantains aren’t the same as bananas. We wouldn’t slip up like that…) The members of the Peely Tribe are friendly and need all the help they can get to drive back the pillaging pirates and other lurking foes. |  |
| Jungle | Now you’re in the thick of it! The Jungle is a lush biome with helpful plants like Hop Flowers that make you bounce, Slurp Plants that heal you, and damaging Bomb and Stink Flowers that can help you defend yourself. Defend yourself against what, you ask? The Storm-Wild Tomatoes. Maybe they arrived after “Tomato Town” was wiped out, or maybe they’ve been here before Tomato Town was even a thing. |  |
| Mountains | Get ready for a pretty view! Climb to the top of the Mountains to feel high and mighty and pluck some pineapples too. Pirate fortresses can be found here along with callous creatures… |  |
| Floating Islands | Seen from most places in Lost Isles, the Floating Islands act as a great compass for your travels (if you don’t want to use your actual Compass). While a challenging biome to traverse, the encounters and critters you’ll find here offer rewards you won’t find anywhere else. Launch yourself off a geyser to glide up here, or maybe just build some stairs. |  |
You can also use new tools, made using mahogany gathered from trees in Lost Isles. These include the Pirate Musket, Flint-Knock Pistol, and dynamite-laden Boom Shield. Pirates might also drop these items if you win a fight with them.
From the Peely Tribe, you’ll find plenty of Throwing Spears, while Storm-Wild Tomatoes are known for carrying the Explorer’s Machete, which is great for cutting through the thick Jungle biome, plus the Knockback Shield to send ememies flying.
Next up, the Essence Table has been upgraded to the Rune Forge, where you can craft Runes to strengthen your tools by spending Essence, which is gathered by chopping down trees, picking plants, and defeating enemies. Once you have Runes, you can apply them to a tool to upgrade it:
- Rune of Berserk I-III: apply to a tool to increase your attack speed with it
- Rune of Damage I-III: apply to a tool to increase its damage
- Rune of Destruction I-III: apply to a tool to give it a chance to instantly destroy buildings when hitting them
- Rune of Durability I-III: apply to a tool to increase its durability
- Rune of Health I-III: apply to a tool to create a chance for enemies to drop Health items when hit
- Rune of Luck I-III: apply it to a tool to give it an increased chance of getting extra loot drops when defeating enemies
- Rune of Undead Bane I-III: apply it to a tool to give it increased damage against undead enemies
Increase the power of Runes further by using in-game books called Tomes that give one of the Runes above or an item recipe when you read them.
Lost Isles also means there are several new Toys to play around with, including a Cannon that can launch both Cannon Balls and players (found by adding Blast Powder to your inventory), Free-spin Swivel that allows anything connected to it to spin freely, Stink Jar which creates poisonous areas when thrown, and more.
Tropical Treasures LEGO Pass
As with any new content drop in LEGO Fortnite, a bundle of new Quests have been added in the form of the Tropical Treasures LEGO Pass, offering various new Decor and Builds to be unlocked.
After selecting the LEGO Fortnite experience in Fortnite, go to the LEGO Pass button in the top navigation. Complete the Lost Isles Quests earn Studs and progress in the LEGO Pass. You’ll be able to unlock rewards as you go, including the final reward of the free reward truck, the NaNa Hut Build.
The Premium Reward Track costs 1,400 V-Bucks and has 11 more rewards than the free reward track.
