How To Get (& Fix) The Moon Lantern In Baldur's Gate 3

Many places in are only possible to reach with the Moon Lantern, an item you can get and fix to help your party move through the Shadow Curse. Obtained from two different places, the Moon Lantern item prevents you and your allies from taking damage in cursed lands. Quests for your companions and the main story require you to repair the Lantern to travel to specific areas.

The Grymforge hosts the room of Balthazar in , the home of a powerful undead priest in the Moonrise Towers. Unfortunately, this Moon Lantern might be easier to find, but it is incomplete and must be fixed before it can offer aid against the Shadow Curse.

There areno ways to fix the broken Moon Lantern you find at the Grymforge, but it givesyour character a better idea of how the item works when you encounter it later in the story.

The Last Light Inn presents a major Baldur's Gate 3 choice, but between helping Isobel and Marcus, one option has far more advantages than the other.

The other way to find a Moon Lantern comes after the battle at the Last Light Inn in. Here, you will meet the Harpers, a group that plans to ambush a group of cultists who can traverse
