Riddles Involving Lanterns NOT Registering Latern Presence

  • Hello.

    I’ve been playing SoT since day one, and so far I’ve only come across minor issues that have worked themselves out. However, I’ve recently come across an issue that should be addressed or looked into. This is on the Xbox One console.

    For the last two riddles I’ve been told to solve, I’ve been told to hold a latern above my head to progress the riddle where it tells me to. The first riddle was on Crescent Isle, in the northern rock pool. I was told to hold a lantern in the pool and the riddle would’ve progressed, however, after trying for ten minutes, nothing happened, so I was forced to abandon the quest.

    I thought this was just a little glitch in the system until it happened a second time, on Discovery Ridge on the north east corner of the island, where the two mermaids are overlooking the sea. I was told to raise a lantern and the same thing happened: nothing. I tried for fifteen minutes this time and still nothing happened.

    Thought I’d share my inconvenience with the staff behind SoT to possibly improve and address the issue at hand.

    Thanks much,

    Eosinophills

  • Make sure you lift the lantern using trigger if on Xbox. This is normally the issue.

  • Ahoy @eosinophills!

    Have you tried lifting the lantern?

    On PC → Right Click
    I think on Xbox it is RT.

  • Also you can't run around with it up you have to lift it in the right place.

  • @eosinophills I’m having an issue with lantern related riddles too. Second time it’s happened to me.

  • Same here, worked for a guy in my group but not for me

  • It does the same thing to me. Anyone else in my crew can activate but I can't.
