Wake Lantern

"After discovering the bottom, seasoned adventurers will find a peculiar "Wake Lantern" appearing in their catalog. This is your ticket into a brand new hardcore game mode with its own set of quirks and rewards."

- Update Notes

General Description
A Wake Lantern acts as the ticket for a one-way trip into Awakened Mode. After reaching the bottom for the first time, players will have the Wake Lantern available for 1,000 Gold in the Catalog. It can be toggled on or off in the starting lobby with a certain button. Turning it on will enable Awakened Mode and all of it's secrets. Only the host needs a Wake Lantern to activate it, regardless if other crew members have it unlocked or not. After every Awakened expedition, regardless of success or failure, a new Lantern will need to be purchased. This also applies if the host leaves the game. If activated, players will see the Wake Lantern in their Submarine, with it's location dependent on the vessel. The Lantern will glow bright green whenever any Awakened Enemies appear.

Trivia

 * Before the 1.1f1 patch, Wake Lanterns used to cost 10,000 Gold each.
