Magic Lantern



The Magic Lantern is a light pet item that summons a small glowing lantern which hovers above the player, emitting dim light. The lantern will also expose all treasure within up to 15 tiles from the lantern's location, overlaying sparkles over nearby treasure. It is purchased from the Skeleton Merchant for, during the night of a full moon.

The lantern will always try to maintain a position just forward of and above the player, passing through blocks as needed. If the player gets far enough away, the lantern will propel itself with a rocket exhaust in order to catch up. The lantern's position can block objects of interest at ceiling height, but if the player just turns around, the lantern will move to their other side.

Tips

 * The Magic Lantern can be farmed by creating a new world, getting to the cavern layer, and looking for the Skeleton Merchant until the morning after the first night (the first night after creating a new world will always be a full moon), then creating a new world. This way the player can make sure that when they find the Skeleton Merchant he has the Magic Lantern.
 * Alternatively, a slower but very reliable method is when you find the skeleton merchant, trap him and wait with him on screen until the full moon rolls around. This option is better pursued when in possession of a Cell Phone or Sextant.
