The LEGO Fortnite v30.10 update marks the addition of a brand-new item called Totem of Return, which is essentially a way to cheat death. This is particularly useful in Expert mode where permadeath is a thing and meeting your untimely end can undo all your progress in one fell swoop. Here's all you need to know about the Totem of Return in LEGO Fortnite along with instructions to craft it.
What is Totem of Return in LEGO Fortnite?
Before we dive into the details, let's start with the basics. The LEGO Fortnite v30.10 update introduces two new modes – Cozy and Expert. While Cozy is your regular mode with normal rules, the Expert is specifically designed for the tough survivors.
If you are eliminated in the Expert mode, your punishment is permanent death. As a result, you won't be able to access your world in LEGO Fortnite. However, there's a way to escape from death and that's when the Totem of Return item comes in.
