How to Get Accursed Lantern in A Universal Time Guide

The Accursed Lantern is a limited-time Subpower introduced in A Universal Time Update 6.4 as part of the Halloween event. This special ability is connected to Willow’s questline and is also useful for exploring the mysterious Sinkhole, where players can find enemies and access Grim’s Arena.

To obtain the Accursed Lantern, you must complete the lantern-related objectives given by Willow and collect three special materials from different NPCs. After receiving the Hollow Lantern, you can use it to unlock the gates inside the Sinkhole and progress through the Halloween event.

How to Start Willow’s Quest in A Universal Time

The first step is finding Willow, the main NPC responsible for the Halloween questline. She is located inside the Witch’s Hut, which is one of the new locations added in Update 6.4.

Speak with Willow to begin the quest. She will initially direct you to Hollow, who can be found in his garden inside Knight’s Cavern. After completing Hollow’s quest, talk to him again before returning to Willow for the next objective.

Willow will then ask you to collect three materials needed to create the Hollow Lantern. These items come from separate NPC quests, so you will need to visit different locations around the map.

How to Get the Three Materials for Hollow Lantern

The Hollow Lantern requires three items: Hollowed Frame, Luminous Soul, and Spectral Solvent. Each material is obtained by completing a quest from a specific NPC.

Here is where you can find them:

1. Get Hollowed Frame From Ignis

Ignis is located near Champion’s District, right beside the large blue crack. Find him and interact with the NPC to begin his quest.

Complete the objective he provides to receive the Hollowed Frame. This is the first material required by Willow, so make sure to keep it in your inventory after finishing the quest.

2. Get Luminous Soul From A Certain Pumpkin

The second material is the Luminous Soul, which comes from A Certain Pumpkin. You can find this NPC at the end of the Sewers.

Travel through the Sewers until you reach the NPC, then interact with them to start the quest. Complete the required objective to obtain the Luminous Soul.

Once you have it, you can move on to the final material needed for the Hollow Lantern.

3. Get Spectral Solvent From Kodama

Kodama is located near the Witch’s Hut. Speak with this NPC and complete the quest to receive the Spectral Solvent.

There is an important detail to remember when completing this objective. Kodama requires you to craft Green Senbei, but crafting the item before reaching the correct quest step will not count toward your progress.

Make sure you accept and progress through Kodama’s quest before crafting the required item. Otherwise, you may need to repeat the crafting process.

How to Craft the Hollow Lantern

After collecting all three materials, return to Willow inside the Witch’s Hut. Give her the Hollowed Frame, Luminous Soul, and Spectral Solvent to complete the lantern objective.

Willow will then reward you with the Hollow Lantern. This is the main item required to continue the Halloween questline and access the next part of the event.

The Hollow Lantern is also connected to the Accursed Lantern Subpower, so make sure you keep it instead of overlooking its importance.

How to Get Accursed Lantern Subpower

Once you have obtained the Hollow Lantern through Willow’s quest, you can use it to unlock the gates inside the Sinkhole.

These gates reveal the path toward Grim’s Arena, making the lantern an important tool for Halloween event progression. The Accursed Lantern is also useful against certain enemies found in this area.

According to the update information, Willow’s lantern-related quest can be repeated to obtain the Accursed Lantern Subpower on multiple abilities. This allows you to apply the seasonal Subpower to more than one ability.

What Is the Accursed Lantern Used For?

The Accursed Lantern is not only a seasonal reward. It also has a gameplay purpose inside the Sinkhole, especially when fighting Revenant.

Revenant is a hostile enemy that appears in the Sinkhole, but it has a special vulnerability condition. You must hit it with the Accursed Lantern Subpower before you can damage it normally.

Here are the main uses of the lantern:

• Unlock Sinkhole Gates: Use the Hollow Lantern on the gates to reveal the route to Grim’s Arena.
• Make Revenant Vulnerable: Hit Revenant with the Accursed Lantern Subpower to make it vulnerable.
• Progress Through the Halloween Event: The lantern is part of the questline that leads to Grim’s boss fight.
• Unlock Multiple Abilities: Willow’s lantern quest can be repeated to obtain the Subpower on multiple abilities.

Because of these uses, obtaining the Accursed Lantern should be one of your priorities when exploring the Halloween event.

How to Find Grim’s Arena

After using the Hollow Lantern on the gates inside the Sinkhole, you can access the path leading toward Grim’s Arena.

Grim is the main Halloween boss and spawns at the Sinkhole every 1.5 hours. Defeating him is also required to finish Willow’s questline and unlock the Event Ladder.

Grim can drop several rewards, including:

• Event Currency: The top attacker receives 500, second and third highest attackers receive 400 each, while fourth and fifth receive 300 each.
• Random Halloween Skin: 85% chance, available only to the top three attackers.
• Grim’s Scythe Skin: 15% chance.
• Inhumane Spirit: 20% chance.
• Veilshard Fragment: 100% chance, but only awarded to the top attacker.

The Veilshard Fragment is especially useful because it is required to summon Hollow through his unique boss spawner.

To get the Accursed Lantern in A Universal Time, start by speaking with Willow inside the Witch’s Hut and follow her Halloween questline. You must visit Ignis, A Certain Pumpkin, and Kodama to collect the Hollowed Frame, Luminous Soul, and Spectral Solvent before returning to Willow.

After obtaining the Hollow Lantern, use it on the gates inside the Sinkhole to reveal the path to Grim’s Arena. The Accursed Lantern Subpower is also required to make Revenant vulnerable, making it an important ability for players who want to explore all the Halloween event content.
