I also got a broken moon lantern at first. You need to be wielding torches to protect yourself from the shadow curse.

Howdy peeps I hope this finds you well and you've found a solution by now, but for everyone that hasn't found the solution yet and stumble across this

**Use a default torch, later in the game ***spoiler territory*** you'll have an opportunity to get a working on. Until then, torches, or spells that generate light around you are fine

No theyre not fine. With the regular torches you still get the shadow curse

Are your regular torches on? You need to click the button to active them, near the weapon swap buttons.

you can use the light cantrip, or you can hop from light source to light source with dashes and turn based combat (look at the ground for areas the light shines down until you get to the tavern). Eventually youll get selunes blessing to traverse it easier and eventually youll get a not-broken lantern too

Only in the areas that have the more advanced shadow curse. Don't got there until you have it. Focus on the story for now and leave exploration for later.

I had this exact same bug! Tried for an hour fix it however what helped was was picking it up with Shadowheart and clicking equip straight away. Not sure if I was lucky or if she has a proficiency that helps or something but I didn't release the pixie and I have it equipped!

What are those areas?
In my playthrough, I quickly met a spider-man-drow, killed him and took his lantern. So I didn't notice any super strong shadow curse areas

What's funny is I have the opposite problem. I came in overland and was pretty chewed up when I stumbled across them. Didn't know how vital said bad guys were, so when I was given the opportunity to nope out, I took it... and evidently soft-locked myself because there's apparently no second chance or second option to get a moonlamp. For what it's worth, I stumbled across them at the ambush site, but I hadn't met the folks who'd help conduct said ambush yet so I had no idea.

If you do the event with the Drider, the best option is to release the pixie inside. It gives you an item you carry in inventory that makes your party immune to the curse so you don't have to carry special spells or items to ward it off.

Shadowheart is immune to the curse, so bringing her along for healing if necessary can help until you get a solution.

I got a third lantern at the moon tower. The female lieutenant who sent me to help Balthazar gave me one

[VOXXX]

I didn't release the thing, walk past the barrier, shadowheart is no longer immune, but the lantern doesn't equip, I'm basically dead in the water.

I seems to be softlocked cause I don't have working draug's lantern and I can't craft new one on the necromancy table cause game thinks I already have one.
