“Lantern Lit” is a Halloween-themed Event Challenge in Overwatch 2 that players can complete during the Wrath of the Bride in Arcade Mode. To gain access to the Wrath of the Bride, participants must unlock Arcade Mode by completing 15 Quick Play matches. Players only need to participate in these matches until the end, so there is no need to fret about winning every one. Once Arcade Mode is accessible, selecting the Story Difficulty will ensure players have the easiest time completing the Challenges for the Wrath of the Bride Halloween Event in Overwatch 2.
Completing the Lantern Lit Challenge in Overwatch 2
To complete the “Lantern Lit” Challenge in Overwatch 2, players must “Crouch at the lantern for 6 seconds while the Ghost is active in Wrath of the Bride.” This feat can be fulfilled at the part of the mission during which players encounter the Unstoppable Ghost while sieging the castle.

As its name implies, the Unstoppable Ghost cannot be stopped and is invulnerable to damage. To make matters worse, this enemy is able to fly and can pass through walls. While the Unstoppable Ghost of Wrath of the Bride does not have particular movesets or attacks, its body possesses a powerful orb-shaped AoE that drains the HP of anyone who comes into contact with it. Combatants will know that the Unstoppable Ghost has spawned when their screens turn monochrome and the Ghost’s title appears in gold at the bottom of the screen. This intimating enemy will then immediately pursue a random player in the party.
Accordingly, the strategy for achieving “Lantern Lit” in Overwatch 2 is to wait until the Ghost is chasing another team member. YouTuber dripping states that the time the Ghost is not focused on the user is the opportune moment for rushing to the Lantern and crouching by it for six seconds. The Lantern can be found in the small chamber to the left of the stairwell where the Ghost emerged. Below is a list of inputs that players can press to crouch based on their platform:
- To crouch for PC, press Left Ctrl.
- To crouch for PlayStation, press Circle.
- To crouch for Xbox, press B.
- To crouch for Switch, press A.
Completion of the Challenge will reward participants with 1,000 Battle Pass XP.
Overwatch 2 is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
