The Lantern is a light source in Darkwood. It's the only passive light source in the game, activated as long as it's on the hotbar. It emits a warm glow around the Protagonist, much like a torch.
Lanterns are disposable. They cannot be re-used, refueled or repaired, and once their durability expires, they vanish from the inventory.
Lanterns do not work during the Shadows night event.
Strategy
Lanterns are useful when exploring a dark location in daytime, as unlike handheld light sources, the Protagonist can also wield a proper weapon.
Despite its ineffectiveness against Shadows, having a lantern is also handy during the night, in case of an Earthquake night event or a Banshee's scream knocking out all the lights nearby.
Trivia
- Crafting a lantern used to also require one Rope and finding a Lantern Recipe.
- In older builds, the Lantern couldn't burn away Black Substance.
