Location Guide
The Shiny Blue Sea Lantern is tucked away in a small structure south of Hernand, near Nass River and just south of Unicorn Cliff. Approach from Hernand City, follow the river system down, and skirt around to the Nass River branch. There is a fast travel point south of Unicorn Cliff that makes return trips trivial; activate it while you are in the area.
The perimeter of the region is patrolled by hostile non-human creatures that attack on sight. The lantern is stored inside one of the two small stone-and-wood structures visible at the target X on the map. The same pair of structures hides the Goblin King's Treasure Dagger, so both pickups can be done on a single run.
How to Find the Shiny Blue Sea Lantern
Fast travel to the point south of Unicorn Cliff and head toward the two structured buildings visible near the river.
Clear the handful of enemies patrolling between the structures.
Climb up to the smaller building using a precision jump onto the ledge.
Crouch and walk forward through the low flap-style door. Stay crouched after you clear the doorway.
Turn immediately right once inside. A treasure chest is tucked directly behind the entrance; this chest holds the Goblin King's Treasure Dagger.
Continue into the main chamber. The Shiny Blue Sea Lantern sits behind a puzzle door.
Puzzle Door Solution
The door uses a picture-matching puzzle. Two of the tiles are already fixed (the top row is a cat holding bottles). You need to slot the remaining tiles into place so the image reads correctly:
Top row: cat with bottles (pre-placed, do not move).
Middle / bottom tiles: pick up the cat tile and slot it into the upper open position, then pick up the remaining tile and rotate it around into its spot.
When the image is complete, the door opens and reveals the lantern in an alcove. Before you leave, clear the upper floor of the building; several minor pickups and containers are scattered around the second story and the surrounding desks.
Using the Lantern
Equip the Shiny Blue Sea Lantern from your Inventory utility slot to swap it for any default lantern you are carrying. It glows a bright cyan-blue when lit, making it one of the most visually distinctive lanterns in the game and a popular choice for screenshots, especially when riding a horse at night or standing in darker interiors.
Like other decorative lanterns, the Shiny Blue Sea Lantern provides light in dark areas. It does not have combat stats, but it is useful for exploring caves, interiors, and night-time routes. See the full Utility Items list for comparable options.
Tips
The perimeter enemies are aggressive but mostly melee; ranged attacks clear them without triggering the full zone.
Do the lantern and the Goblin King's Treasure Dagger in the same trip since they share the same two structures.
Take a screenshot with the lantern held up at night. The glow is one of the brighter light sources in the game.
