Focus on Improving Your Health
Health Charms and Certain Foods Increase Player Hearts
It’s no secret that enemies hit harder in Expert Mode, and while players are protected from sudden death if they have full hearts, eliminations can quickly happen when faced with even the weakest enemies. Additionally, defensive boosts provided by various charms have been specifically removed for Expert Mode, making survival more challenging. All of these points highlight the importance of increasing players’ overall health, especially at the beginning of the game.
The first and simplest way to increase health is by crafting health charms through the crafting table. These items grant extra hearts when equipped in the charm slot in the inventory, with higher rarity granting more hearts to the player. Some foods also provide additional hearts, and while they are not permanent, they can offer a useful temporary health boost. These foods include grilled meat, spicy burgers, and pizza, all of which can be cooked on the grill.
Get Additional Charms to Boost Statistics
Additional Charms Can Be Beneficial in Expert Mode
While the Totem of Return and Health Charms are important items for players to obtain, they are not the only effective ones in Expert Mode. In fact, players can acquire a variety of alternative charms that can make progress in Expert Mode much easier. The most important additional charms to focus on are the Cool-Headed Charm and the Inner Fire Charm, which grant the player heat or cold resistance. Both charms are essential for progressing into the Dry Valley and Frost Lands biomes, allowing players to obtain Expert Mode Trophies faster.
There are also several other charms that players can obtain, and while they are not necessarily essential, they can provide some useful benefits. These items include the Hearty Totem, which adds extra health when players are at full health, and the Regeneration Charm for regaining hearts over time. The Totem of the Immortal is also great for saving players from elimination and providing more hearts than the Totem of Return. The only main drawback of these charms is their cost in crafting, so players must choose wisely.
Cultivate the Rebel Cave
The Rebel Cave Provides Diverse Agricultural Resources
Resources like Marble and Knotroot are crucial for obtaining some tools in the early game in LEGO Fortnite, in addition to upgrading the Grassland village. The obvious way to obtain these resources is by venturing into the Grassland caves, and while they contain plenty of marble and knotroot, they are also home to hostile creatures like scorpions and skeletons. These areas pose a significant risk of permanent elimination from the world. However, there is an alternative way to obtain these resources early on.
The Rebel Cave, while primarily serving as an entrance to the Star Wars island, actually contains a lot of available knotroot and marble. Not only that, but players can gather these valuable resources in the Rebel Cave without dealing with hostile enemies inside. Considering that the Rebel Cave is also close to the world spawn point, players will find easy access to these resources from the start. Additionally, the Rebel Cave also offers alternative benefits, such as the ability to obtain planks and granite from destroying boxes inside, fishing spots for acquiring fish, and Star Wars items that can be harvested for Plastoid.
Bring Villagers with You on the Adventure
Villagers Provide Assistance Inside and Outside the Village
Villagers are among the most helpful entities that players can encounter in LEGO Fortnite, as they can perform various tasks around the village. While many enthusiastic players may be content wandering the map solo in Expert Mode, there is a way for players to bring a villager along with them to accompany them on their journey. Almost any villager can be invited to follow the player, providing them with an extra set of helping hands.
To invite a villager to follow, players can simply interact with any villager, choose the dialogue option « Let’s discuss tasks, » and then select the « Let’s explore » option. The villager will then follow the player, participating in activities such as fighting hostile monsters while the player focuses on collecting resources. Players can even equip these villagers with better tools, allowing them to perform tasks more efficiently. Having villagers with you is a guaranteed way to gather resources faster, and players won’t have to worry about permanently losing their villagers if they are eliminated.
Play with Friends
Invited Friends Can Help with Resource Gathering and Progression
While villages are extremely helpful for automatically gathering resources and assisting players in their journey outside the village, there is another way to get additional assistance: inviting friends to the world. Playing with friends in LEGO Fortnite is not only more fun, but other players can also help in ways that villages cannot.
Having other players in the world allows for faster resource gathering and village upgrading if everyone contributes. This benefit also extends to activities outside the village, where exploring areas like caves in a strategic group can be an effective way to face enemies and gather valuable items. However, unlike villages, additional players are at risk of permanent elimination from the Expert world, so it is essential to ensure they have enough return statues in stock.
