But don’t fret. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about the Epic Longsword.

How to unlock the Epic Longsword recipe in LEGO Fortnite

The Epic Longsword is an Epic Crafting Table recipe. You may have noticed, however, that this recipe doesn’t appear after upgrading the table. You’ll need to take extra steps to unlock this recipe and craft the valuable weapon in LEGO Fortnite.

The first step is to get yourself an Epic Crafting Table in the first place.

How to craft an Epic Crafting Table

This is the Epic Crafting Table recipe and where to find all the ingredients:

ItemsLocation
15 Copper BarsFind the Dry Valley and enter a lava cave for raw Copper (requires Uncommon Pickaxe).
25 Obsidian SlabsFind the raw material in lava pools of Dry Valley caves (requires Rare Pickaxe). Use a Stonebreaker to change Obsidian into Obsidian Slabs.
One Brute ScaleDefeat a Brute in the Grasslands biome for the dropped Scale.

There is a unique recipe for each Crafting Table tier. The first table upgrade is easily achievable within the Grasslands biome. You’ll need to start traversing across the entire map and into new biomes when it’s time to upgrade the Crafting Table once more.

You’ll need to craft the Epic Pickaxe after unlocking the top-tier Crafting Table.

How to craft an Epic Pickaxe

The recipe and where to find these items are as follows:

ItemsLocation
Eight Obsidian SlabsFound near lava pools of Dry Valley caves and turned into Slabs using the Stonebreaker.
Eight Frostpine RodsGo into the Frostlands and chop down the large trees using a Rare-tiered Axe for Frostpine. Use the Lumber Mill to transform the Frostpine into Frostpine Rods.

You now need to venture into the snowy biome of the Frostlands with the newly obtained Epic Pickaxe in hand. Locate the nearest snow cave by regularly checking the map in case you walk past one in your search.

Tip: Be prepared for your adventure!

You’ll want to bring Torches and Wood for stairwells in your hunt for the next item for the Longsword quest—the Iron deposits. These are typically located high up and towards the cave ceilings. Stairwells grant you access to the hard-to-reach areas and avoid taking unnecessary damage from cave-dwelling creatures.

Head back to your tier three Crafting Table once you have everything you need to make the Epic Longsword. Open the table and go into the weapons tab using the right trigger. You’ll find the Longsword at the bottom of the weapons list.

Make sure to have the 12 Iron Bars ready to go for the crafting process by depositing Iron into the Metal Smelter.

In summary, you’ll need to follow these steps to unlock the Epic Longsword:

  1. Upgrade the Crafting Table to tier three.
  2. Craft the Epic Pickaxe: Requires eight Obsidian Slabs and five Frostpine Rods.
  3. Head to the Frostlands (snow biome) to mine Iron in the snow caves using the Epic Pickaxe.
