Hand Lantern | Bloodborne Wiki

Hand Lantern
Small portable lantern. This hunting accessory provides light while leaving both hands free to hold weapons. The torch, however, provides a stronger source of light.

Hand Lantern is a Consumable in Bloodborne.

Hand Lantern Usage

• While activated, the Hand Lantern will illuminate the surrounding area.
  • This can be done while being able to wield weapons/firearms in both hands.
  • However, it provides a low amount of illumination when compared to a torch.

Price

• 2,000 Blood Echoes [The price doesn't change]

Hand Lantern Location

• It's sold by the Messengers after you acquire the Sword Hunter Badge.

Player Notes

• Despite being listed as a Consumable, it's an item of unlimited usage.
• This item is mainly used as a way to grant illumination while not restricting your ability to fight.
  • However, because the amount of illumination is faint, it may be best to use a torch if you need to see in the dark more easily.
  • Furthermore, the Hunter's Torch can be an effective choice of sidearm in regards to damage and providing illumination in a dark area.
• It does affect Old Yharnam Beasts who are also afraid of the torch and Hunter's Torch.

Trivia

• It's similar to the Augite of Souls worn by the player in "Demon's Souls."
• When Bloodborne was first released, using the Hand Lantern would reduce your stamina regeneration.
  • This is no longer true as of Patch 1.04.
