In Baldur’s Gate 3, you must cross the Shadow-Infested Lands, but for that, you need a working moon lantern. We will show you how to repair it to survive the journey.
How do I repair the moon lantern? You cannot repair broken moon lanterns. Moon lanterns are powered by captured fairies. Therefore, you need a functioning moon lantern that is flawless right from the start.
A moon lantern will only become important later when you venture deeper into the Shadow-Infested Lands. If you are still in the fringe areas, light spells or a regular torch will suffice to drive away the shadows. Now we will show you where you can find a working moon lantern.
However, if you want to build a shadow lantern, we have the right guide for you.
How to find a moon lantern in Baldur’s Gate 3
Where do I find the moon lantern? Head into the Shadow Lands and search the northern tavern “At the Last Light.” Once there, you can receive a quest “Find shelter from the shadow curse” from Jaheira. Also, let Isobel bless you, so you can wander through the shadows in the fringe areas without side effects.
Now follow the quest until you arrive at an abandoned hut. You need to ambush a group that possesses a working moon lantern.
You now have the choice to attack them or convince them to drop the lamp. We advise you to persuade them instead, as the fight could be very exhausting.
Whatever option you choose, if you are successful, the lamp belongs to you, but you are not done yet.
Inside the lamp is the fairy that generates the protective light, and you have the choice to free her or leave her imprisoned.
Should I free the fairy or not? If you do not free the fairy, the effect of the lamp remains active and protects you from the shadows, but you must keep holding the lantern to stay protected.
If you free the fairy, she will give you a special bell. Every time you ring this bell, the fairy appears and casts a powerful buff on you, allowing you to march through the shadows even without the lantern. It would be advisable to set the fairy free.
Those were all the important details about the moon lantern. Which option did you choose? Let us know in the comments!
