Whenever I'm about to spend hours and hours on something, the first thing I do is pay little attention to anything, and assume it will all work out somehow when I'm finished smh
I did actually have a friend who did the same thing, I think after two dungeons he realized the shield wasn't getting light, and so ended up taking slightly longer than the sword.
OP I don't really know how you can have done the whole 200 lights and not once realized. Lesson learned
