Where is the lantern in Dragon Slayer?

[tpivette]

So I'm basically at the end of the game in Dragon Slayer... just have to do some level grinding to max out my characters (currently on Lv46). One item evades me, however... the lantern. I'm tired of buying and carrying torches and this item would be extremely useful. I apparently missed it, and even checking the walkthrough on gamefaqs didnt reveal its location. Maybe a monster drops this item?

Anyway, does anyone know where I can find this?

[Bernie]

I could never find the lantern either!!  I wish someone knew where it was.

[esteban]

If you guys want to sell me Dragon Slayer, I will gladly tell you where the lantern is found.

Didn't you make a topic of the same name a few weeks ago? >_>

who... me? No, to my knowledge, this is the only topic of this kind I created with this question

Man, I thought someone on here wouldve found it and Id have my answer in a few hours. Crazy how its this elusive

[_Paul]

I don't remember not findng a lantern, but I've not played through in about 15 years. Go back to every village and talk to everyone is the only advice I can give.

Damn I really want to play it again now.

I did that..  But alas, I just keep missing it somewhere... 

[hoobs88]

I kinda want to play now too since the challenge has been presented.

Heh, me too; when the RX comes home, I'll finish up LoX (or die trying) and then hop on the Dragon Slayer train.  It's been too long since that smug old fart had his butt kicked at othello.

I believe that it's in the second Chapter, but maybe the third. I remember it being early in the game but I haven't played it in a while.

Off topic a second...  Check your PMs BT. 

Back on topic.  I cant find that damn lantern, and I have literally looked everywhere.  Altho, I cannot have looked EVERYWHERE or I would have found that elusive fucker...  ugh...

[CrackTiger]

The Lantern is a monster drop.

[SuitedAJ]

It is a monster drop from a pair of Cyclopes in Chapter 5: Outlaws. On a side note, I actually have made a chart outlining all unique items I can find, especially from monster drops, because the only, ONLY guide anywhere is the one on gamefaqs.com and it is absolutely TERRIBLE! Where it isn't missing tonnes of info, it inaccurately records how to get things, if it even says how (case in point: the lantern). Believe it or not this is my first post on Pcenginefx so I don't really know where this would best go, but I thought people might appreciate a chart of what I've found so far. The formatting will be terrible, I'm sure, but I can send/upload my nicer Excel sheet if anyone is interested... . I'm working on a complete walkthrough/FAQ myself, and would LOVE it if someone could help me find certain missing things...

Very nice!

[Duo_R]

yeah that guide on gamefaqs isn't the greatest, but it did help. I can't remember if I got the lantern, think I did but don't recall. Will have to pull up my save since I played it recently.

[tpivette]

Sweet!

I restarted this game in order to find the lantern back when I originally started this thread, but have sine been playing other games. Looks like I'll have to pick this one back up and go on a Cyclops hunt!

Awesome! Glad to have helped! Out of curiousity, has anyone else encountered anything I don't have listed? Or even, has anyone got a Venom Fang, Hyper 2000, or the Trident? I've had the first two but I can't remember where... I thought the Venom Fang was from Hornvipers in Ch. 3 but I've killed enough to go to Lvl. 40 then so I'm seriously starting to doubt that's how I did it originally... The Trident, honestly, may not exist. I include it because the scammer merchant in Nigel, in Ch. 1 offers it on occasion at full price (400000 gold). - Any info is greatly appreciated in return!!!

I've gotten the Trident... equipped it on Ethan if I recall (Giles and Logan have the Sword Blazes). I know I aquired this item in the final chapter of the game, however, I cant remember if it was out of a treasure chest or it was an enemy drop

[SuitedAJ]

It almost definitely cannot be a chest... I've literally looked in all of them I think. Even most monsters I've killed countless times. Good to know it exists though. Any other notes?

[SuitedAJ]

also if you can remember anything else about the trident I'd be indebted!!!

[tpivette]

When I get home from work tomorrow, I'll load up the saved game where I have that item equipped... I can give you stats on it, etc.

[tpivette]

Heres the Trident...




Looks as though it has an attack power of 700, which is a 100 point improvement over the strongest store-bought weapon, the Star Blade. As I mentioned, I have it equipped on Ethan, although I'm sure as with all weapons, anyone can equip it. I'd like to find another one to give to Sonia, but I'm pretty positive I found it in a chest and it wasnt a monster drop. As I continue to play through my 2nd quest (currently on Chapter 3, looking for the lantern) I'll let you know if I aquire this item again and where I found it

Hope that helps a little

That would be AMAZING!!! I'd really appreciate that. It's the one item I've never got on any playthrough, especially because I don't even know where to start looking. Having only the one doesn't necessarily mean it's an item from a chest; in fact I've never had an item dropped from a monster more than once per playthrough, so I think they're unique anyways...

Hope that helps a little

It helps more than you know! Knowing it exists if nothing more is proof my effort has not been in vain!

It would also help to know if you loaded your save again and selected Warp 2 whether your save state is missing places, e.g.: Lost Isle onward... If you are, we could eliminate those places obviously!

[esteban]

Welcome, SuitedAJ.

The FAQ you're writing and the info you shared looks quite promising .

[SuitedAJ]

I found the Venom Fang!!! It's a random drop from the Bulltoads in Ch. 3 - not the Horn Vipers as I previously thought (especially since they "attack with their venom fang"... such a red herring...).

Still looking for the Trident and Hyper 2000 - Anyone figure those out over the last 6 years of playthroughs?
