LEGO Fortnite update 31.20 full patch notes

Explore Lost Isles

Any Battle Bus Station will transport you to Lost Isles, which has a diverse ecosystem featuring five different environments. Here’s what to know about each one:

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.

New Weapons and Runes

Exploring uncharted territory comes with some risks, so grab some tools to help you out! Collect Mahogany from trees in Lost Isles to unlock the recipes for these.

The Pirate MusketFlint-Knock Pistol, and dynamite-laden Boom Shield are standard-issue supplies of Pirates. If you find yourself in a scuttle with them, they can drop one of these if you win!

From the Peely Tribe, you’ll find plenty of Throwing Spears, a punch-packing projectile. Storm-Wild Tomatoes are known for carrying the Explorer’s Machete, which is great for cutting through the thick Jungle, plus the Knockback Shield to send foes flying.

The Essence Table has been upgraded to the Rune Forge, where you can craft Runes for strengthening your tools by spending Essence. (Chopping down trees, picking plants, and defeating enemies can get you Essence!) Craft one of these Runes and apply it 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

While venturing out in the world you’ll also find powerful books called Tomes that give one of the Runes above or an item recipe when you read them.

Friendly Klombos & Grumpy Golems

Lost Isles is home to the legendary Klombos, which can be found in their native lagoon habitats in the Jungle. Feed a Klombo a Klomberry to earn a friend and trusty steed to accompany you on your big adventures. Just, don’t make it mad.

Some of Lost Isles is best admired from a distance, as the scenery here often has a mind of its own. Golems are dangerous, living statues that roam the Beach, Plains, and Jungle. Defend yourself against Golems to get valuable resources and Rift Shards, an ingredient for Battle Bus Stations.

New Consumables

Lost Isles has lots of new foods you can eat or use as ingredients. Some enhance your abilities, while others can be replanted back on the mainland. 

On the Beach you’ll find:

  • Bananas
    • An ingredient in Banana Pancakes, which temporarily make you jump higher. 
  • Coconuts
    • Can be made into Tropical Smoothies that temporarily increase your max stamina.

In the Plains you’ll find: 

  • Pineapples
    • A (controversial) ingredient for Hawaiian Pizza, which lowers your stamina consumption.
  • Klomberries
    • Feed one to a Klombo to make it your friend and rideable, or eat it to restore some Health. Can be converted to Klomberry Seeds at a Grain Mill, replanted, and grown back on the mainland. 

In the Jungle you’ll find:

  • Tomatoes
    • A local delicacy you can eat to restore some Health. Can be converted into Tomato Seeds at a Grain Mill, replanted, and grown back on the mainland.

Fun in the Sun

Paradise is meant for playing. Lost Isles adds several new Toys!

  • Cannon: Launches both Cannon Balls and players!
    • Unlock the recipe for the Cannon by adding Blast Powder to your inventory. 
    • Craft Cannon Balls at a Crafting Bench.
  • Free-spin Swivel: Allows for things connected to it to rotate freely.
    • Unlock the recipe for the Free-spin Swivel by adding a Cord to your inventory.
  • Controllable Swivel: Allows for the player-controlled rotation of things connected to it.
    • Unlock the recipe for the Controllable Swivel by adding a Cord to your inventory.
  • Stink Jar: Throw to create a poisonous area. (Don’t throw it downwind!)
    • Unlock the recipe for the Stink Jar by adding a Stink Gland to your inventory.
      • Stink Glads drop from various critters in Lost Isles.
    • Craft Stink Jars at a Crafting Bench.

Tropical Treasures LEGO Pass

A banana bunch of new Quests have been added to help you progress in the Tropical Treasures LEGO Pass! This new LEGO Pass has Decor and Builds waiting to be unlocked.

Here’s how the Tropical Treasures LEGO Pass works:

  • After selecting the LEGO Fortnite experience in Fortnite, go to the LEGO Pass button in the top navigation.
  • Here is where you’ll see the LEGO Pass and a button to view Quests. These Quests are about exploring Lost Isles. Complete them to earn Studs!
  • The more Studs you collect, the further you’ll progress in the LEGO Pass! Unlock in-game rewards from the free reward track as you progress. If you want, you can also unlock in-game rewards from the purchasable Premium Reward Track.

You don’t need to peel back the NaNa Hut Build, the final reward of the free reward track, to realize it makes a lovely home. It also happens to be a great place to store bananas!

The Premium Reward Track costs 1,400 V-Bucks and has 11 more rewards you can unlock while also unlocking rewards from the free reward track. You don’t need to complete extra Quests to get these rewards, so don’t worry about adding extra stops on the itinerary.

Security is a top priority for any tropical village, which is why the Nana Gate Build is the final reward of the Premium Reward Track. Decide which of your friends should be on duty and thank them with bananas later!

Be right at home in your NaNa town with the Island Adventure Peely Outfit, which unlocks right away when you purchase the Premium Reward Track. This Outfit has a LEGO Style and a Fortnite Style! Is it weird to eat a banana as Peely?

A bigger fan of Storm-Wild Tomatoes than the Peely Tribe? The Tropical Treasures LEGO Pass has plenty of rewards in the Tomato Temple Set! This Pass will be available to progress until October 11, 2024, at 2 AM ET.
