Bugged Moon Lantern? Can't free Pixie

[Sucker Punch]

On my second playthrough I'm going evil. So instead of ambushing the convoy, I escorted them to Moonrise towers and took the Moon Lantern from Balthazar's room.

Only I never got a dialogue relating to the pixie? There is no use or talk to pixie option. I've tried dropping it, changing characters, sending it to camp, reloading the game to before I picked it up, nothing changes.

Is there anything I can do to free the pixie and get the blessing? Because it seems I have to spend all of act 2 running around like an idiot holding this stupid lantern. Its my first time on tactician aswell, so it really sucks that one of my characters can't hold a weapon.

EDIT: So I had to reload a very old save, back at the ambush, killing everyone and taking the other moon lantern.

This time I did have an option in the hotbar to inspect the moon lantern and free the pixie.

For some reason Balthazar's Moon Lantern doesn't work? May not technically be a gamebreaking bug, but it was for me. I tried playing a bit just with the safety of the lantern, and I was gonna give up on the game before playing through all of act 2 with it.

There should be an item action added to your character. Something like speak to pixie.

Yeah, I've read that in a couple of places. No such luck.

Balthazar's moonlanterns are....recycled ones. He uses dead pixies to make the lamps. The Driden's is alive. My guess is the Driden got his moonlantern actually from Lolth or Shar, and later became a follower of the Absolute. But he is still divided between loyalties. He is only loyal to the drow among the Absolute band is my guess.

It will only show the "Inspect moonlantern" action if you have equipped the moonlantern and are holding it. Click the "toggle light source" button.

not a bug, only Karniss' lantern has a live pixie you can free

I keep getting 'me oh my' constantly and I can't interact with the pixie inside. It's getting rather annoying!

Considering no one else has that problem, I doubt it is a game problem to begin with.

Did you equip the lantern, as in hit the Toggle Lightsource button beneath your Ranged weapon on your toolbar? Just putting the lantern in your lightsource slot isn't equipping it.
