Before you can start hunting for lanterns, you need to gain entry to the Cultist Lair. Here’s the complete unlock process:
Head to the island located to the left of Moosewood. This is where your Cultist Lair journey begins.
Look for the Cultist NPC on Terrapin Island. Important: He only appears during a foggy night in the game. You may need to wait for the right weather conditions.
You need to catch a Mythical-tier Sea Turtle from the waters around Terrapin Island. This can be challenging, so bring your best fishing gear. Check out our Best Fisch Rods Ranked guide for top rod recommendations.
Give the Sea Turtle to the Cultist NPC. In return, you will receive a Traveler’s Note.
The note hints at a secret lever hidden behind two trees. Pull this lever at night to finally open the entrance to the Fisch Cultist Lair.
Once inside the Cultist Lair, you need to:
Pro Tip: Always keep the Sythra’s Candle in your inventory. You cannot light lanterns without it!
Coordinates: 4240, -1991, -4644
Location: Right after entering the Cultist Lair through the double doors, look to your right. The first lantern is hidden behind the very first large stone pillar you see.
Visual Cue: Look for a massive stone pillar immediately to your right as you enter. The lantern sits at the base of this pillar, slightly obscured from direct view.
Coordinates: 4387, -1989, -4728
Location: In the initial area, you’ll find a Cultist NPC with an eyepatch near an elevator gate. The lantern is tucked away behind this NPC, next to a statue.
Pro Tip: This NPC is easy to spot due to his distinctive eyepatch. The lantern is positioned between the NPC and a nearby statue, making it slightly hidden from casual observation.
Coordinates: 4223, -2236, -4666
Location: Take the elevator down to the Hall of Whispers. As you enter the corridor, the third lantern is on the right side, next to the first bookshelf you see, positioned between two pillars.
Navigation Help: The Hall of Whispers is characterized by green hallways filled with bookshelves and chandeliers. This lantern is immediately visible as you enter the area.
Coordinates: 4307, -2236, -4694
Location: Continue through the Hall of Whispers. At the very end of the corridor, on the left side near the last two bookshelves, you will find the fourth lantern near a large rock.
Landmark: This is located at the end of the hallway before you reach the Hall of Whispers fishing pool. Look for a distinctive large rock formation.
Coordinates: 4340, -2237, -4703
Location: After the bookshelves, you’ll turn into a watery area. The NPC who gives you the “Light the Lanterns” quest is here. The fifth lantern is directly behind this NPC.
Important Note: This is the same area where you can accept the lantern quest from Sythra. The lantern is positioned strategically behind the quest giver.
Coordinates: 4411, -2237, -4660
Location: Still in the same watery area of the Hall of Whispers, look behind the body of water, just before the elevator that takes you back up. You’ll find a small tree with a lantern next to it.
Visual Guide: Look toward the right side of the large rock near Lantern 4’s location. The lantern is positioned next to a small tree at the water’s edge.
Coordinates: 4315, -2484, -4665
Location: Take the elevator down to the Passage of Oaths. As you proceed along the tunnel, the seventh lantern is on the right-hand side, next to a large root, just 5-10 steps from the elevator.
Pro Tip: This is one of the easier lanterns to spot. Look for a large tree root system on the right wall shortly after descending.
Coordinates: 4336, -2706, -4686
Location: In the same Passage of Oaths area, on the left side, you’ll see a cluster of small mushrooms growing on the wall. The eighth lantern is located right there, in the middle of the hallway that leads to the fishing pool.
Visual Cue: The mushrooms are a distinctive landmark. The lantern is positioned at ground level near this fungal growth.
Coordinates: 4404, -2707, -4756
Location: This is the most challenging lantern to find. In the Passage of Oaths fishing pool area, you’ll find a ledge at the start. You must climb a small cliff, adjust your camera angle, and use your glider to reach a hidden platform. The ninth lantern is on this platform.
Critical Requirements:
Pro Strategy: Position yourself at the highest point of the cliff near the fishing pool, face the hidden platform, and use your glider at the right moment. It may take a few attempts to perfect the trajectory.
Coordinates: 4315, -2484, -4665
Location: Take the final elevator down to the bottom room, where you’ll find a devil-horned NPC. The tenth and final lantern is on the left side of this room, opposite the double-horned NPC.
Final Boss Area: This is the deepest part of the Cultist Lair. The lantern is positioned strategically in the corner opposite the main NPC of this area.
After lighting all ten lanterns, return to Sythra in the Passage of Oaths to complete the quest. You will be rewarded with:
This fragment is one of the key pieces needed to craft the ultimate Dreamer’s Amulet. You’ll need to combine it with other fragments like:
Successfully completing this quest chain also gives you a chance to obtain the Lucid Rod, a rare fishing tool that can double your catch. This makes the quest extremely valuable for serious Fisch players.
Many players rush into the Cultist Lair without the Sythra’s Candle or glider, only to find themselves unable to complete key objectives.
Lantern 9 is the most commonly missed lantern due to its hidden location requiring glider access. Don’t give up!
Some lanterns are tucked away in corners or behind objects. Thoroughly explore each area before moving on.
After lighting all lanterns, you must return to Sythra to claim your reward. Many players complete the lighting but forget this final step.
