How to reach the end of the Rainbow in LEGO Fortnite

Follow the Rainbow

The Musical Rainbow Cloud, a dazzling wonder in the sky, isn’t just a visual treat but also a gameplay element with rewarding interactions. To embark on this colorful quest, players must first spot a rainbow in the sky and follow it.

This rainbow, unlike its real-world counterpart, has an end that signals the location of the cloud. That said, there is a catch to chasing rainbows. As night falls, the rainbow and its animated cloud both disappear, adding a sense of urgency to your quest. Spotting the rainbow during the daytime is crucial.

Access the Musical Rainbow Cloud

The cloud at the end of the rainbow floats just high enough above the ground to complicate its access. Reaching it requires some creative problem-solving.

One method involves stacking two or three staircases, thus creating a bridge between the ground and the cloud. This method, although resource-intensive, is a reliable way to reach your colorful destination. Luckily, there are a few trees nearby that you can scavenge for wood.

Tip: Bring enough materials on your journey

This adventure is resource-heavy if you are to reap the rewards, so make sure to bring plenty of materials to make it up to the cloud and do a dance!

When you reach the Musical Rainbow Cloud, you’re encouraged to interact with its diverse inhabitants with emotes.

Your dance performance unlocks a cache of items, predominantly food and ingredients, of blue and purple rarity. It may not be a game-changing reward, but it acknowledges the effort needed to reach the cloud and adds a practical benefit to exploration.

Beyond its gameplay implications, the Musical Rainbow Cloud has a deeper significance, as it highlights the game’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. As many LEGO fans know, this feature is a virtual interpretation of the real-life LEGO set Everyone is Awesome. The reference is unmistakable as the array of colors precisely mirrors those of the LGBTQIA+ flag. This subtle yet powerful tribute within a mainstream game like LEGO Fortnite is both commendable and significant, reflecting the growth of inclusivity in the gaming world.
