So my character is an Outlander and I'm trying to get the "Embracing the Environment" inspiration (Survive two rounds of the shadow curse). However, my character has the Blessing of Selune buff from Isobel and it's making it so that the Shadow Curse isn't affecting me. I've wandered all around the map trying to find an area where the Shadow Curse is stronger since the tooltip reads: "Selune's radiance protects against the lesser effects of the shadow curse. But beware - even Her light cannot guard against the darkest shadows."

I made sure that I don't have the lantern equipped, nor is it even in my inventory. I made sure there are no other light sources coming from my character and I've even tried casting Darkness and standing in it. Btw, I just finished killing Ketheric Thorm and just about to head to Baldur's Gate, which is why I wanted to grab this inspiration before leaving the zone. Is there a way to remove "Blessing of Selune"? Or can someone give me coords for a spot that has extra strong Shadow Curse? Or is the Shadow Curse perhaps weaker now due to where I'm at in the story? Please, I just really want to get this inspiration done!

There's a spot in the basement of the Last Light inn where you fight some meenlocks (?) in a cave or short passage (between the inn and the outside).
Almost immediately after the meenlocks you enter a small area of the bad SC.
There is a small cabin/home with a locked chest at the far end. I think you have to climb some vines to get to the cabin.
The game puts you in TB due to the bad SC so trying to get to the chest results in a lot of damage.
You can also get to the cabin from the SC lands/ancient battleground area but I can't remember where that was.

There may be others but I had a lantern by then so didn't take much notice.

I have no moonlantern and lost the bloody pixie's bell, which seems to be a rather frequent occurring bug.
I can't access the bottom left corner of the map. There's a few parallel bridges towards tollhouse, Reithwin town and Masons guild.
If I cross them, there's a grey/Green veil to pass through and it switches to turn based mode and I'm affected by Shadow curse every turn.

Gheh. On my first run, I killed the Absolute's team, didn't ahve that Lyre or the knowledge to use it... I hadn;t a clue how to pass the Tollhouse. So what I did was, leave everyone in camp.

I was a Wood Elf Rogue/Monk with Mobility and Crusher's Ring, so SUPER bloody fast. Turn based mode, dash/ cunning dash and passed through the tollhouse in a single turn. Walked straight up to the moonrise Travelpoint, got my party back and that was that. I was so proud of myself.

You can kill Nightsong with Shar's spear. Then you won't have this buff and you can get this inspiration!

You find the lyre and instructions on Mintharas body after you've killed her.

You do realise the the 'bell' is not a bell icon? It is a silvery-grey, metallic looking circular thing in your inventory.

I was wondering where I got that from.
