Ice Ink in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey: Where It Drops and What to Do With It

Ice Ink is one of the elemental Ink resources in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey’s NINJAGO: Rise of the Ninja content, and it matters because Scroll crafting doesn’t happen without Ink. If you’re trying to unlock elemental mobility and combat options like the Ice Spinjitzu Scroll, you’ll eventually run into the same bottleneck: finding the right Ink, at the right rarity, from the right activities.

Ice Ink locations on Ninjago Island

Ice Ink is found at Shrines on Ninjago Island. These Shrines are the core “Ink supply” loop for Scroll crafting, and the game treats Ink as a resource you discover in-world rather than something you craft directly.

Ink comes in elemental varieties, including Ice Ink, and Shrines are where that Ink is found. Ninjago Island itself is accessed through the LEGO Fortnite Odyssey menu (or automatically when starting a new Survival World), and it’s built around that progression arc of Shrines, Portals, enemies, and new stations like the Ninja Workbench.

Ice Ink from elemental temple takeovers

Ice Ink also comes from clearing temples that have been taken over by the ice “typing.” The same takeover pattern applies to Earth Ink and Lightning Ink, with the element changing based on what has control of the temple.

If you’re hunting for Ice Ink specifically, prioritize temples that are visibly aligned to Ice and clear them fully rather than bouncing between different elements. That keeps your drops and rewards aligned with what you’re trying to craft.

Rare Ice Ink: where players typically get stuck

“Rare” Ice Ink is a common friction point because you can do the right activity and still feel like progress is slow. Players chasing rare Ice Ink tend to rely on two practical routes: keep fighting ice-aligned enemies and keep clearing event-style encounters where chests are part of the reward loop.

The important piece is that rarity is a separate constraint from the element. You’re not only looking for “Ice,” you’re also trying to roll the “Rare” version through the same gameplay loops.

What Ice Ink is for (and where you use it)

Ice Ink is used to create Ninja Scrolls, which are crafted at the Ninja Workbench. Scrolls are passive equipment that unlock abilities when equipped, including movement and combat tools that change how you approach fights and traversal on the island.

Elemental scrolls are part of the broader elemental match-up system. Ice, for example, is positioned as strong against Fire, which is relevant on an island that includes threats like the Fire Dragon alongside ice-aligned enemies and Ice Betrayers.

How Ice Ink fits into Ninjago Island progression

Ninjago Island progression is built around new crafting stations, Mastery unlocks, and increasingly punishing level scaling. In practice, that means two things for Ice Ink farming: you’ll often be gathering it while leveling weapons and classes, and you’ll be doing it in zones where enemies can punish sloppy routes.

Portals are also part of that loop. Closing Portals is a repeatable activity tied to enemy spawns and chest rewards, and it’s frequently paired with other Ninjago resource farming like Elemental Energy and Ritual Oil needed for crafting and refining.

Related resources you’ll likely farm alongside Ice Ink

Ice Ink rarely exists as a solo grind. Once you’re deep enough into NINJAGO progression to be crafting more advanced gear, you’ll typically be gathering a mix of elemental drops and refinement materials at the same time.

If you’re collecting Ice Ink for a specific craft, keep your loop tight: Shrines for elemental Ink, ice-aligned temple takeovers for Ice, and repeatable Portal clears when you also need materials like Elemental Energy and higher-rarity Ritual Oil for adjacent unlocks.
