How to Refill Lantern in Outward

Recommended Videos

As you explore and try to survive in Outward‘s world, you’ll have to keep an eye on all your weapons and items, because a lot of them can break and become useless. Here’s everything you need to know about how to refill the lantern in Outward.

Fixing Items in Outward

Working in the same way as how weapons break, the lantern in the game will stop working after a certain amount of use. However, instead of sleeping with it equipped to get it working again, as you do with weapons to fix them, you need to manually refill it.

Essentially, refilling a lantern is something you have to craft. If you first head to the crafting screen in the game, then put the lantern in the first slot and some thick oil in the second, you’ll be able to refill it once you’ve pressed go.

You need to make sure that the lantern and the oil are in the right slots, because Outward is very picky with things like that. If you have them the wrong way round, it won’t work. You also don’t have to unlock the recipe in any other way, it works straight away.

How to Get Thick Oil

As for how to get the Thick Oil that you need to refill the lantern in Outward, thankfully it is pretty easy to get your hands on. It should be available to purchase in every town in the game, and it is not very expensive either.

The only thing to keep in mind is how much you want to carry, since you don’t want to be stuck out in the wilderness without any or a shop nearby. It might be clever to stock up regularly.

That’s everything you need to know about how to refill the lantern in Outward. For more tips and tricks on the game, be sure to search for Twinfinite.
