Big Walk Lantern Locations and Best Uses

The useful answer

Find it in the tutorial, near points of interest and across the island. Its main use is to create a wide amber pool of light or mark a route.

Step by step

1. Go to the item location: in the tutorial, near points of interest and across the island.
2. Make sure one player has a free hand, back slot or hip slot before picking it up.
3. Use it to create a wide amber pool of light or mark a route.
4. Return it to a memorable landmark if your group does not want to carry it.

Why players get stuck here

Tools are physical objects in Big Walk: they can be dropped, moved, worn or left behind between destinations. Lanterns are also throwable puzzle objects, so do not abandon the team’s only light after scoring a hoop. A useful item is only useful if the rest of the group knows who is carrying it.

Quick checklist

• Confirm the item visually before leaving the area
• Choose one named carrier
• Tell the group where it will be returned
• Lanterns are also throwable puzzle objects, so do not abandon the team’s only light after scoring a hoop.

Verify it before moving on

Test the item near the place where you found it, then note whether it changes with distance, sound, light or another player. Many tools are communication aids rather than keys that directly unlock one door.
