How to craft an Illuminator in LEGO Fortnite
The items you need to produce an Illuminator are:
- 5 Purple Thermal Fish
- 3 Wool Thread
- 10 Glass
- 10 Brightcore
Purple Thermal Fish are typically caught in the waters of the desert biome. All you need is a Fishing Rod and to hope that the relevant fish latches on. You can always use a Bait Bucket in an attempt to attract rare fish to your location.
As for Wool Thread, Wool can be obtained from sheep and woven into Wool Threat at a Spinning Wheel. To collect Glass, use a shovel to dig sand from the desert biome and take it to a Metal Smelter to produce Glass.
While you’re embracing the heat of the desert, enter a Lava Cave which is where you will find Brightcores. Simply take out your pickaxe and mine the yellow clumps that are attached to surfaces inside this type of cave.
Once you have an Illuminator in your inventory, all you have to do is equip it. From this point onwards, your character will let off a constant glow, lighting up your surroundings in the dead of night.
