What does the Faerie Lantern do in PEAK?

A godsend when looking to avoid the fog, having a Faerie Lantern on your backpack can allow you to turn even a hopeless climb filled with mistakes into complete success in PEAK.

But what exactly makes the lantern such a great find? Here’s what the Faerie Lantern does in PEAK, as well as how you can get your hands on one.

What does the Faerie Lantern do in PEAK?

To the delight of all who either came in contact with the wrong mushrooms or are dealing with severe debuffs in PEAK, the Faerie Lantern both heals and clears all status effects from those within its AOE once lit. Before you ask, no, there’s no way to recharge the lantern once its juice runs out, so make sure to save it for either the late biomes or for moments when you find yourself on your last legs during the climb.

How to get a Faerie Lantern

Like pretty much all other Legendary items in the game, you can get the Faerie Lantern in PEAK via either the Ancient Statues found at the end of each biome or by opening the Ancient Luggage scattered throughout the mountain. Keep in mind that the item is only one out of a wide selection of available drops provided by both of the above, so don’t get your hopes up. So you can have an idea, even after attempting nine runs and finding multiple Bugles of Friendship, we were unable to get a single Faerie Lantern from the Ancient Statues.

But what about the regular Lantern?

Available as part of the plane crash loot on every run, many might see the regular lantern as a waste of an item slot, even more so if we consider how the nights on the mountain are by no means dangerous. But that’s only true until you reach Alpine, as the regular lantern can counter the effects of frost while lit. To keep its effect active while you climb, light it up and put it on your backpack.

Now that you know how to get the Faerie Lantern, make sure to also take a look at how to unlock all cosmetic items in PEAK so you can show off the fruits of your labor to all of your friends.
