REKA Bound to the Bog: lantern and ghost

The reported solution is to hold the lit lantern up, not merely switch it on. With the lantern equipped, hold the left mouse button on the default PC controls.

What the quest asks. Bound to the Bog is a REKA ghost quest involving a bog body. The player report describes an objective to lead the ghost back to its body with a lantern; it is not presented there as a separate DLC purchase.

Reported steps. Equip the lantern, light it, and hold the left mouse button to raise it. Keep it raised while guiding the ghost toward the body. A reply specifically distinguishes raising the lantern from just lighting it. If you use remapped controls or a controller, use the corresponding lantern action rather than assuming the mouse binding applies.

If the ghost stays still. First distinguish a lantern-action problem from a confirmed quest bug: the original player had only lit the lantern. The thread does not establish a guaranteed reload fix, a chapter prerequisite, a completion reward or a full route. None is invented here.

Evidence status: community single source. These instructions come from one Steam discussion with several participants. Multiple replies in that thread are not two independent published sources. They are useful troubleshooting evidence, not an official guarantee for every 1.0 save. No named patch confirming a fix was found in the notices checked.
