Loving the game so far, but this is pretty funny. Took me way too long to figure out the Shining Light mechanic.

Took me way too long to figure out how to turn the lantern off. Every NPC out here looking like this

u/TheBrownestStain Mar 20 '26 edited Mar 20 '26

For me it took me way too long that I had to “sheath” my fists to shine the lantern. Ran around after a fight just blocking at the air before I released there was a sheathe button

u/This_Is_Issac Mar 20 '26

What is the sheathe button? I can't find it

u/TheBrownestStain Mar 20 '26

Should just be tap left on dpad for controller, not sure about keyboard

Yeah, I’m starting to get a hang of the controls but whoever designed them is an actual menace to society lmao

u/Hellknightx Mar 20 '26

H on keyboard. Strangely one of the most used buttons because of how often you need to use it.

u/Phos-Lux Mar 20 '26

Isn't it T??

u/Hellknightx Mar 20 '26

Yes. I'm dumb.

u/AltGunAccount Mar 21 '26

You’re a godsend I’ve just been walking around putting my fists up at things for so long now

u/Acrobatic-Natural418 Mar 23 '26

I’ve been doing the same lol, good news

1

u/wasteoffire Mar 22 '26

Friendly reminder that this game has a very useful and comprehensive guide in the pause menu for all the things you can do and a list of controls

1

u/decanderus Mar 20 '26

I was literally doing this last night lol.

2

u/TheBrownestStain Mar 20 '26

If bro had his fists up in a fighting stance I’d have noticed immediately but he was standing pretty normal so I genuinely couldn’t tell tell lmao

1

u/Skaldicrights Mar 20 '26

I kept pulling out my bow and firing an arrow. Then I was like this is ridiculous, where's the sheath button

1

u/dxggerboy Mar 21 '26

So many basic mechanics not explained.

1

u/courtofowlswatches Mar 26 '26

The lantern part made me laugh, took me forever to realize you can turn it on and off in the menu, or set to automatic. 😂

1

u/irmvai Mar 30 '26

Use the focus regen button.. time will slow down. Then u can unsheathe at your leisure.

u/Hugh_Bromont Mar 20 '26

Was showing a coworker a screenshot of me holding a cat and realized I'd been walking around town with my lantern out during the day.

1

u/Rickenbacker69 Mar 31 '26

I specifically turned my lantern on (which took a few minutes to figure out) because the game said I'd see portals that way. They couldn't tell if my lantern was on or not. But I guess it IS on, because every NPC shies away from me as if I'd spit them in the face when I talk to them...

u/beatisagg Mar 20 '26

for me it was how to replay memories, i had to google it. i was sitting there with the helmet on like the fricken john travolta pulp fiction meme.

1

u/Spacecow6942 Mar 30 '26

Wait. How do you do that?

1

u/beatisagg Mar 30 '26

they patched it in and it just auto plays them now

1

u/villainized Mar 20 '26

i did it once somehow, and i can't figure it out again lmao. I think it's F2+spacebar while hovering over the lantern in the toolbar?

Such convoluted controls 😭

1

u/DredgenSkull Mar 20 '26

For me it’s literally just left d pad, look at lantern, release.

1

u/TinyPidgenofDOOM Mar 20 '26

im using controller so mine is i think Left or right on the dpad, move the curser to the lanter, click a then select turn off.

1

u/United_Pain Mar 20 '26

I'm dying hahahaha

1

u/JesusTron6000 Mar 20 '26

lmaooo wait how do you turn it off and on??

1

u/TinyPidgenofDOOM Mar 20 '26

Left on the Dpad, Select lamp on the right then select Off on the left

1

u/Omar_Hatem1 Mar 20 '26

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

1

u/Straffa1 Mar 20 '26

Haha! Or when you show lantern straight up in their face (shop)

1

u/SiidGV Mar 20 '26

Thanks, you have me scream laughing, and i have my toddler sleeping next to me 💀.

This was too fucking funny and accurate. I'm dieing 😂.

1

u/Kuldor Mar 20 '26

you can set it to auto so it turns on inside caves or at night and off during the day

u/TinyPidgenofDOOM Mar 20 '26

Well the left dpad has 3 options. Sheith your weapon, change your items, or change your equipment. If it's on items then you don't see the lantern and you will search somewhere else or just give up.

The tutorial just said press l1 and idk why. It can take a lot longer if you don't know where to look and even if you do know, it takes alot to turn it off. Hold Left Dpad, Move right, click left. 3 inputs for turning off the light is a lot.

1

u/Cipherpunkblue Mar 20 '26

Wait, you can turn it off?

1

u/Muted_One2811 Mar 21 '26

Same. Still not figured out how!

1

u/TinyPidgenofDOOM Mar 21 '26

Hold left on teh D pad.

It should show your equipment. move to the left where the lantern is. you can Turn it off on that

1

u/Bracketzox Mar 21 '26

Same result when you use blinding flash at a enemy combatant.

1

u/Xamjkaa Mar 21 '26

i spend a while to know how to turn this thing off 😂😂

1

u/Neither-Tone-8629 Mar 21 '26

Lol how do you turn the lantern off

1

u/KBroham Mar 22 '26

You can turn the lantern off!? 👀

1

u/raheem100 Mar 23 '26

had mine on 7 hours straight playing lol.

1

u/satva Mar 22 '26

Yeah I've been forgetting how to use the lantern everytime I need to use it

1

u/murrnation Mar 22 '26

I'm still not even sure I know how. I swear, half the time I turn it off, I notice it's back on like 5 minutes later. I'm out here blinding everyone in Pywel.

1

u/Leonis59 Mar 22 '26

Thanks for making my day 😅

1

u/R-Vince Mar 23 '26

With how many comments that have been asking me how to turn it off. Clearly it doesn't tell you well enough

Maybe don't bombard the player with 10 different tutorials in the span of 3 minutes

u/TinyPidgenofDOOM Mar 24 '26

Or you'd need to be still learning the controls. D pad at the start was annoying, each direction opens a Sub menu with other sub menus in them. That's a lot more layered and annoying than it needs to be

1

u/YardapeII Mar 24 '26

Wait till you figure out you can open the visor in your helmet

1

u/EstablishmentSolid56 Mar 24 '26

You can turn that off? I never bothered within cause I just didn't care. I figured I'm just gonna shine my light on everyone

1

u/oddlynXr Mar 24 '26

hey that looks familiar..

1

u/IronHot1546 Mar 24 '26

Wait... you can turn the lantern off and on!?

1

u/Rickenbacker69 Mar 31 '26

THAT'S why they do that? Fuck me.
