Are you a monk class character? Do you like to fight unarmed? Are you sick of carrying a Moonlantern on one hand? Tired of seeing your character put the lantern on it's back, then back in it's hand when unarmed attack is done? Contemplating on whether to release the arrogant pixie? Are you a bard class character as well?


This is the mod for you my Monk and Bard (and all other classes of course) friends. Item will appear in tutorial chest. The wearable moonlantern functions the same as the normal moonlantern do, so it will protect you from the shadow curse as well.

What's included:
  • Moonlantern (Back) ~ Equip into Instrument slot
  • Moonlantern (Cloak) ~ Equip into Cloak slot
  • Moonlantern (Underwear) ~ Equip into Underwear slot
  • Moonshield Campclothes ~ It has the Moonshield aura and Radiating Orb as an alternative light source
  • Lantern (Back) ~ Equip into Instrument slot ~ Gives off light but does not protect you from shadow curse.
Optionals:
  • Dagger (Waist) ~ Equip into Instrument slot ~ Gives off light but does not protect you from shadow curse.
  • Dagger Cosmetic (Waist) ~ Equip into Instrument slot (sheath on left hip) ~ Cosmetic only
  • Dagger Cosmetic (Waist) ~ Equip into Cloak slot (sheath on right hip) ~ Cosmetic only
  • A set of 6 Lanterns of various colors I use for testing purposes.

For these choose one only:
Added Moonshield aura to Shadow Moonlantern as well.
  • Original Moonlantern ~ Changes the Drider, Balthazar's Room and Shadow Moonlantern to equip into instrument slot (Optional file)
  • Original Moonlantern ~ Changes the Drider, Balthazar's Room and Shadow Moonlantern to be stowable. So that they function like torches and works with Light source button (Optional file)


Main file does not overwrite any other Moonlantern that you can loot from Drider or Balthazar Room at Moonrise Towers.
(Except for the optional files of course.)

And yes~ you can perform with it. But looks kind of weird if you try.

Use this mod for existing game, fresh start of course you can loot from the chest.


Check sticky post for up to date information.


Install using Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager.

If you are updating from previous versions

Unequip and throw away/sell, long rest, save game, delete the old version first, then install the new version.


I used the original lsf files in from the extracted game pak files and just made a new entry with new generated UUID/Handle ID, change the slot assignment etc.
