You can only get Obsidian by mining it in the cave systems found within the desert biome. You can tell what is Obsidian by its purple glow.

Once you find this purple ore simply take out your rare pickaxe and mine away. Eventually, you’ll be left with Obsidian.

Tip: Can you break obsidian without a rare pickaxe?

You need a rare pickaxe to break Obsidian, therefore, make sure you bring at least two to stock up on this rare item.

It’s important to remember that venturing underground in LEGO Fortnite will instantly make your character overheat. Because of this, you must bring with you heat-resistant foods and trinkets to survive. You’ll also need a weapon because there are plenty of dangerous foes to be found beneath the ground.

Tip: How to survive the heat?

Make sure to bring heat resistance items and food like a couple of Snowberry Shakes that give you 10 minutes of heat resistance.

Once you have gathered Obsidian to turn it into a slab you’ll need the Stone Breaker equipment. While it can be tricky to get the resources to build one, once it’s built using it could not be easier.

  • First, interact with the Stone Breaker
  • Choose Obsidian Slab
  • Assign a Recipe and select your Obsidian

Following these three steps should leave you with Obsidian slabs ready for whatever plans you have.
