Moon lantern , how to find it- beware of spoilers
I have seen topic in this forum already but still doesnt know hot to continue. Visited forum on google and in steam, there is my story so far:

Let spiderlng with lantern go , he dissappaered after long rest- was exploring shadow lands
Killed Nere- no working lantern
Cant get to Balthazar room- it is in strong curse sphere and dont have lantern :)
Saved ISobel and visited house at the bay of island. there is no lantern as well.

Please help me with this quest, it looks like i tried any option and to get working lantern to continue this perfect game.
Thx guys

Isobel gives you one, maybe you just need to talk to her again.

Isobel doesn't give one, this is a lie.

The actual first Moon Lantern you will encounter should be after saving Isobel Last Light Inn fight you see ambush team gather by edge of protection dome saying they going ambush an Absolute caravan

Many more can be found in Moonrise Tower Balthazar Room, other places and I think House of Healing or the Waning Moon has one too.

You can also free pixie if you wish it give you light aura iirc and if you don't need it or free it after clear ACT 2 it just give you a bell to summon pixie later for "reward"

it's not a lie lol i just misremembered. is it jaheira or kar'niss then that you get the pixie lantern from

Even though I killed the spider for his, I was still given another one shortly after that.

I just don't remember who gave it to me.

I had it in the form of a steel ball in my inventory, and Tinkerbell took care of the rest.

Depents on the choice made, theres a version were you do get it.
Theres a version were you can just follow the spider and get it,
theres a version were you follow the harpers to ambush the spider.
Theres a a trick to get past the darker part whitout a latern and get one from balthazar room

A easy solution should be that a party member is not effected by the shadowcurse. just get her to moonrise tower fasttravel point.

Its possible to realy mess up, then a save game can only be used to solve the issue. just dont rest and follow the spider along..

I have got ambush team for caravan- told them i let caravan go, one of their meber followed me but died due to shadow curse. I have many saves after. It looks like i broken my game :/

I killed the Goblins and Orcs that I think would have been the caravan when I first arrived in the shadow lands because I didn't know who they were and they got nasty with me after the goblin sent the dog into the shadow to die. Am I screwed now ? there hasn't been a caravan come by the ambush spot.

I figured it out. You have to speak to one of the Harpers at the ambush site to trigger the caravan. In my case, it was just the Drider without any goblins.

If the drider (the spider with the lantern) already went away then you have to go to moonrise tower by yourself with the curse...Look at the map and the quest, you should go as far as you can, when you are near the edg of the curse, just go in turn-based mode then dash/jump with someone to go to moonrise tower

Good luck

Why do'nt people like you DON'T understand what we are talking about here? We are talking about the darkest curse that needs the pixie dust, not the light darkness that a torch is enough...So NO the blood of lathander is not enough to get rid of the curse...

She does if you betrayed and killed the Dryder. Or you get one if you killed the dryder with the Harpers. now...if you 'let the dryder go'.......I know in my first playthrough I wound up with a total of I think....3 moonlanterns......but the dryder is by far the earliest and fastest. And I think the only one you can get before moonrise towers.

I wrote what I remember, I did not memorize every detail in a 300-hour journey

#1 This *IS* true if you played a certain way. If you went through the mountain pass first and not the Grymforge elevator, after murdering Nere you can actually be 'escorted' to Moonrise by the Dryder and be attacked by the Harpers as a 'victim' of the ambush.

Where you can betray the Dryder or fight it.

I betrayed it on my 2nd playthourhg.

On my third 'evil' run I will go 100% 'true soul' and see what happens.

But If you betray the Dryder....instead of getting the lantern right after the fight (as you do if you help the Harpers from the start initiate the ambush) the harpers keep the lantern......and Isobel gives it to you later.
