Mechanics

• Achievement is repeatable, and the chest upon completion gives you the items that go towards the legendary armor Obsidian armor.
• Lanterns that have already been lit are not interactable anymore until the achievement is completed.
• After completing a map, you must re-enter the map in order to see the lanterns.
• Lanterns can be lit while mounted (including while under stealth from Stealth 2.0 (mount)) and while moving.
