Destiny 2’s new limited Halloween event Festival of the Lost has finally started and it brings back some of the best elements to the table which made it so special when it first came out back in 2016.

This year’s Festival of the Lost event brings tons of new epic loot, events, a new story questline in which you get to investigate a murder and new rewards for you to collect and hunt for.

We have curated this Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost Guide in which we have detailed all about this limited timed event, how you can start new bounties, what new rewards await you, how you can complete the new story line and how you can fully complete this special event before it ends at the start of next month.

Festival of the Lost Guide – Destiny 2 Forsaken

Our Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost Guide details everything that you need to know about completing Festival of the Lost event and earning everything exclusive to this event.

Since the event is now live, jumping in the game will give you a whole new look as Amanda Holiday has been really busy putting on some new decorations around The Tower. It has been decorated with a really spooky setting and is filled with banners, candles and pumpkins all around. Since the festival is all about remembering the fallen, some ‘In Memory Of’ holograms are also visible here and there.

Event Duration

Festival of the Lost is a limited timed event and will only run from October 16^th to November 6^th 2018. You can play the event as much as you like during this time. This is plenty of time to earn all the exclusive items and nail those bounties.

Exclusive Eververse Merchandise

If you want to head over to Eververse, Tess has a plethora of exclusive event-only items which will be gone once the event is over. You will notice a new armor set, ghost projection, a chicken mask, box of shaders, emote, sparrow and an exotic ship. All of the new items are mentioned under the ‘Festival of the Lost Purchases’ tab.

Apart from these exclusive purchases, Ephemeral Engrams items are also available to be purchased from Tess. These includes some really cool Ghost Shells such as the Nine Lives Shell. You will unlock them as you level up by completing milestones, events and challenges for the duration of the festival. As you level up, you will earn these Ephemeral Engrams along with Steadfast Engram. If you do not want to grind too much, you can easily spend real-world money and buy them from Tess directly.

Haunted Forest

Exclusive to the Forest of the Lost event, Haunted Forest is a new limited time mode in which players will enter the Haunted Forest in teams of 1-3 and attempt to defeat hordes of enemies to reach even more powerful creatures called Nightmares and try to defeat them. This mode has seven different branches and completing all seven yields the ultimate reward.

Each branch consists of a certain number of enemies followed by the boss. The boss will be a Nightmare. Defeating them will take all your might but the rewards are worth the trouble. To top it all off, each match will be 15 minutes long so you will need to wrap up everything in these fifteen minutes.
