Players stuck on the Xanthe’s Mansion lantern puzzle in Blood of Dawnwalker now have a clear path forward. This guide breaks down the specific steps needed to progress through the Vale Sangora world without getting blocked by the game’s environmental mechanics. Understanding these requirements is essential for anyone trying to complete the main questline.
Steps to clear camps and find two lanterns in Xanthe's Mansion
The puzzle is part of the quest titled The Cycle of Love. Brencis designed this section to require players to interact with specific items found in the open world before they can access the mansion's interior. You must first clear Xanthe’s soldier camps and transports to earn Xanthe’s Lantern.
To open the final door and confront Xanthe, you need two Xanthe Lanterns. One lantern is located in Iasmina’s room on the second floor of the mansion. The second lantern sits in a hut-like building that you reach after completing a combat encounter nearby.
Defeating Xanthe involves a battle against her and her sickly daughter, Chariklea. Chariklea communicates through song during the fight, adding a unique layer to the encounter. After the battle concludes, players can choose to end Chariklea’s suffering as a final narrative choice.
We have been tracking Blood of Dawnwalker closely, as seen in our earlier coverage on Blood of Dawnwalker, Onimusha, and Orbitals. The guide confirms that while visual bugs may occur, such as corrupted roots failing to disappear, the doors remain functional. This allows players to proceed through the puzzle even if the graphics glitch out.
