How to use the Red Lanterns in Lords of the Fallen

Red Lanterns are just one of the many mysteries you’ll be getting to grips with in Lords of the Fallen. If you are looking to pick the bones of your fellow Lampbearers, then this is what you need to know.

If you play your cards right, then using a Red Lantern could get you some nice loot, but they inherently come with a lot of risk, so keep that in mind. If you have a lot of Vigor on you, it might be best to just get to a Vestige and cash that in.

How to use the Red Lanterns

Red Lanterns can appear in your game when you are playing online. They can be all over the game and should just be floating slightly above the ground with some red butterflies coming off them. When you see a Red Lantern, use your Umbral Lamp to Soulflay it, just like you would a memory stigma. This will cause red butterflies to appear, and if you follow them, it will lead you to a special enemy.

This enemy will have claimed the life of another player in another game, and you can seek revenge for them if you like. The reason to be cautious is that they will be a bit more powerful and have more health, as they have been feasting on the soul of the unfortunate Lampbearer that they killed. You will know that you are fighting the right enemy because they will actually have a name, making them very unique among the lesser enemies in the game, as usually only the bosses have a name. By killing them, you will get some Plucked Eyeballs.

What to do with Plucked Eyeballs

Plucked Eyeballs can be traded in at the Shrine of the Purid Mother in Skyrest. This is found in the same room where you find the weird trader, Molhu. Go to Skyrest, and from where Pieta is standing, go in the door and up the steps that are almost directly across from her.

You can choose to spend your Plucked Eyeballs on available items, or you can donate them to community-driven targets to unlock new items. What you do is up to you, but there will always be fallen Lampbearers out there who need vengeance.

If you are struggling to take out the same enemies that keep killing your fellow players, make sure you get your hands on some rune sockets for your weapons to get ahead of the power curve.
