Moonlanter from ambush doesn't work.

[Some immortal blob creature]

I did the act 2 thingy, did the ambush, got the moonlantern, spoke with the pixy, decided not to free them because they gave me bad vibes and now the moonlantern is broken while the quest says that I got the thingy and should be fine now which I am not, even reloaded and the issue still persist. What am I missing or is the game actually just this ♥♥♥♥♥♥, cus if so I'm just gonna harass steam till I get a refund.

Either you're not paying attention and using the actual Lantern, and you have the broken one in your inventory still.

Or a bug nobody has had at all. So you're special I guess.

Seriously I bet you just need to look at your inventory and find it. I lose ♥♥♥♥ all the time because my inventory is a disaster.

...Did you go through the underdark? Are you sure you aren't trying to equip the old broken moonlantern instead of the new one? ...And are you also sure you didn't...break the one you just picked up.

There are at least so far.. 2 broken lanterns, one is empty, 1 has a dead fairy/pixie next to it and the working one from the spiderdude..

I have, it's not there, sorted inventory by latest. The moonlantern that's at the top of my inventory when sorted by latest is broken, I reloaded to make sure I didn't pick an option that would break it and I didn't, all I did was speak to the pixie and decide to keep it in the lantern until I no longer needed it.

Yes I know, I got the one from the spider dude adn that one breaks the moment I try to pick it up. I don't break it, I don't release the pixie and I don't do anything weird with it. I just pick it up, keep the pixie inside and it breaks with zero explination.

Then I guess....reload before picking it up and release pixie? \o/

My advice, free the fairy lol unless your evil then its quite in theme to keep them captured.

however im not sure why its broken otherwise if you chose not to free her or didnt do any other plot stuff.

[Estevan Valladares]

So you did not freed the pixie, and you obviously used the device that kills her, and now you wonder why the lantern is broken ?
Amazing.

read my words, I did not kill the fairy and I reloaded my save to make sure I didn't which is reflected in the quest logs. kindly gain some literacy before vomiting horse manure

I take it freeing them is a valid option then, I assumed it'd trick me if I did since they're mentioned to be tricksters. I'll try releasing them and see if that option works better.

If you are not going to free them I might suggest not interacting with them at all, however there is another option. For walking outside of the super dark zones any light sorce will fix this we often used sunlight spell which last till long rest. Torches work, the light cantrip works etc... catch yourself on fire, yeah its unconventional but you'll be a light sorce rofl

When you wanna get to moonrise towers I reccomend a speed potion and a flight potion enter from the lowest bridge towards the tower in turn-based mode you can make it to the teleport in 1-2 turns depending on your movement just fly right thru. If you have any temporary hit points it's a massive buffer to the dark zone it eats small amounts of temp hp slowly for some reason. There is a 2nd lantern in the tower thay cannot be broken ever or interacted with. (This is only if you don't have a lantern or some other protection to get the 2nd lantern incase you botched it)

Yes freedom is not only valid but the superior choice in my opinion, she is a little annoying when you need help again but just play along and grovel for it she'll grant it as much as you need it.

I don't mind freeing the pixie, I like to play my D&D characters grey so I was planning on freeing them after I was done with the moonlantern as I didn't trust the pixie. I did try to release them to see if that would work and it does, I have the pixie blessing and can enter the tollhouse just fine, so thanks!

I'll still send a bug report though, maybe they'll figure out what's going wrong with my save/game and prevent it happening to other people.

Yeah its kinda misleading when they say they are tricksters and they do play a trick on you if you are rude to them. If you need to call on them to get a blessing again be rude to them it doesnt stop the blessing but they will play a trick on you.
The key is to use the kiss ass dialog to get the blessing though after you see the trick xD it sounds like if you choose not to free her and she died anyway is is some underlying bug or may be a pixie trixie haha
