The massive LEGO Fortnite: Odyssey Ninjago update has transformed the survival experience with elemental abilities, ninja weapons, and mysterious new crafting materials. Among these precious resources, Ritual Oil stands out as the cornerstone ingredient for unlocking the most powerful Ninjago gear and abilities.
What Makes Ritual Oil Essential?
Ritual Oil serves as the primary crafting component for nearly every recipe at the Ritual Altar, the new crafting station that defines the Ninjago experience. Without a steady supply of this precious resource, you'll find yourself locked out of crafting Honed Bamboo, Honed Kozustone, and other advanced materials that form the backbone of ninja weaponry.
The resource comes in multiple quality tiers, each corresponding to different challenge difficulties and gear requirements. Higher-tier Ritual Oil enables you to craft superior equipment with enhanced stats and unique visual effects.
Tip
Always prioritize collecting Ritual Oil when exploring Ninjago Island, as it's the bottleneck resource for most advanced crafting recipes.
How to Get Ritual Oil
The most reliable method for obtaining Ritual Oil involves completing Chaos Challenges scattered throughout Ninjago Island. These dynamic encounters test your combat skills, resource management, and time efficiency while rewarding successful completion with valuable loot chests.
Types of Chaos Challenges
Chaos Challenges don't appear on your map from a distance, requiring active exploration to discover them. They typically spawn near prominent structures, ancient temples, and elemental shrines across the island.
Focus on challenges that match your current equipment level. Attempting high-difficulty encounters without proper gear wastes time and resources. Start with Enemy Elimination and Resource Collection challenges to build your Ritual Oil stockpile before tackling the more demanding Survival Waves.
Important
Each completed Chaos Challenge spawns a loot chest containing guaranteed Ritual Oil drops plus additional crafting materials.
Best Farming Locations
Ninjago Island features several hotspots where Chaos Challenges spawn more frequently. Understanding these patterns allows you to create efficient farming routes that maximize your Ritual Oil collection per hour.
Prime Challenge Locations
The Temple District in the island's center contains the highest concentration of challenges, with 3-4 spawning within a small radius. The Elemental Shrines scattered around the perimeter also reliably host challenges, though they're spread across greater distances.
Bamboo Forests and Mountain Peaks offer medium-density challenge spawns with the added benefit of providing crafting materials for immediate use. These locations work perfectly for players who want to combine resource gathering with Ritual Oil farming.

Warning
Some challenges have prerequisites, such as defeating specific enemies or reaching certain areas first. Always explore thoroughly before expecting challenges to appear.
Your mastery of Ritual Oil collection and usage determines how quickly you'll progress through the Ninjago content and unlock its most powerful abilities. Focus on consistent challenge completion rather than rushing through content, and you'll build a sustainable supply that supports long-term progression through this exciting new chapter of LEGO Fortnite Odyssey.
