Lantern Night



The Lantern Night is a peaceful event that generally occurs the night after a boss or invasion has been defeated for the first time.

During the event, many lanterns can be seen floating up into the sky in the background. During a Lantern Night, the player will have a flat +0.3 increase to their luck stat, and the Party Girl will sell the Release Lantern.

If a boss is summoned during the event, it will stop, and will not continue even after the boss despawns. However, if a Lantern Night is set to start but a boss or event is active when night begins, the Lantern Night may be pushed back instead; see the Notes section below for details.

In addition, a Lantern Night fulfills the requirements for Enchanted Nightcrawlers to spawn naturally if a Meteor Shower is also ongoing, since a Lantern Night will enforce virtually no clouds in the sky. These can be caught for easy bait.



Initiating a Lantern Night

 * Defeat any invasion for the first time, with the exceptions of the Frost Moon and Pumpkin Moon.
 * Killing Pumpking or Ice Queen for the first time will start a Lantern Night, however.
