Illuminator

The Illuminator (also commonly referred to as Flashlight or Lantern) is an item in Dream Game.

Overview
The Illuminator is an item that can be obtained via the Humble Beginnings badge. As the name implies, the Illuminator will, as long as it has enough energy, illuminate the user's path.

The Illuminator is only available while sleeping. It will not show up in the user's inventory while in Windy Island.

Mode Switching
By pressing Q with the Illuminator deployed, the item will swap its current mode. It currently only has 2 modes: Flashlight and Lantern.

The Flashlight mode spreads a bright white light to the direction the user is currently facing, while the Lantern mode surrounds the user in a very bright yellow light, brighter than that of the Flashlight mode, at the cost of less range compared to the Flashlight.

Energy
The Illuminator uses Energy, which can be seen with a UI that pops up only while the item is deployed.

For every 0.5 seconds while the item is deployed, it will consume 1 Energy. The item always starts with 200 Energy, but the item's Energy may be refilled.

Refilling Energy
Refilling the Illuminator's Energy is possible on Graveyard Sea.

While under the main island in Graveyard Sea, in the area connected to both the corridor and the basement stairs (with a window showing the dark room the corridor leads to), it is possible to go up the wall in the corridor's entrance using certain mobility items (such as the Pie), which allows you to get on top of the corridor itself. If the sleepwalker continues walking through the top of the corridor, they'll eventually find a secret entrance to a cave. After entering through the secret entrance, a hole in the top of the cave can be seen and, by going up, a Lantern Battery machine can be found. Interacting with it drops a small orange cylindrical part that, when touched, will give the sleepwalker who touched it 50 Energy if they have the Illuminator deployed. However, interacting with the machine consumes 100 Studs of whoever interacted with it.

Tips

 * Use this item in dark dreams or dreams that have dark areas.
 * Don't have this item equipped when it's not necessary, as its Energy will drain.
 * Rebirthing does not reset the item's Energy.
