Ruby is one of the rarest materials in the game, but it’s not impossible to find. Check out where you can get ruby in LEGO Fortnite.

Aside from exploring the wild and gathering resources, you’ll spend a lot of time building and upgrading your village in LEGO Fortnite. While it takes some work, upgrading your village allows you to unlock more useful perks and invite more characters to join you. After all, there’s only room for so many people—unless you find all the necessary resources to make the upgrade happen.

Well, among these resources is ruby, a rare gem only found in a certain biome. Similar to other rare biome-specific resources like Malachite or Brightcore, you’ll need to come prepared in this game mode. Here’s everything you need to know about how to get ruby in LEGO Fortnite and its uses.

Where to Find Ruby in LEGO Fortnite

Epic GamesRuby spawn location in LEGO Fortnite.

In LEGO Fortnite, you can find ruby in the Dry Valley, specifically in lava caves. They look like giant reddish rocks and generally spawn close to each other. To mine them, you’ll need to equip a blue rarity pickaxe or higher. Anything with a lower rarity than this will do zero damage when you try to mine the ruby.

Before you attempt to go inside a lava cave, know that it is extremely hot inside. Even just being in the Dry Valley without any sort of protection is enough to make your character take continuous damage, which can be lethal the longer you stay.

You’ll want to make sure that you’ve at least equipped a Cool Headed Charm before heading here. Don’t forget to stock up on some food like Meat and Egg as you don’t want to be starving in the middle of your cave exploration.
