FESTIVAL OF THE LOST // SEASONAL EVENT

Begins: Tuesday, Oct 06 @ 10 AM PDT

Ends: Tuesday, Nov 03 @ 10 AM PDT

Free Event for ALL Players! More Details: Event Website | Help Guide

Here is some info from the recent Bungie post:

Eva Levante, or as you all affectionately call her “Space Grandma,” has returned to the Tower to lead Guardians in a celebration of those we’ve lost. We miss you, Cayde! The Haunted Forest is back and filled with ghoulish enemies. This year, Bungie added five chests to the end of the activity for five times the loot!

To open the chests, you are going to need some Cipher Decoders. Talk to Spider to get started and then they will drop from playing any of your favorite activities across the solar system – similar to Umbral Engrams. Braytech Werewolf and Horror Story will both be rewarded from these chests and each have new perk combinations to hunt for.

It goes double for Festival of the Lost: don’t forget to put on your mask. There are new masks available this year as well as some favorites from the past. Eva has a Masquerader Helmet which you can apply your masks to as ornaments before you head out in the world to start stockpiling candy. The mask mods for the Haunted Forest also return from last year’s event.

Before the event ends on November 3, you are going to want to complete three of the Triumphs for opening chests in the Haunted Forest. Once you finish off the required Triumphs you will be able to trade in some of your candy for a mummified Exotic Sparrow, ship, and Ghost.

Finishing the “Wrapped and Ready” Triumph required to get the Exotic Ghost also unlocks the ability to purchase the Restless Shell Ghost pin through Bungie Rewards.

Speaking of Bungie Rewards, there is also a terrifying new emblem available for free if you finish the initial quest during Festival of the Lost.

Here are a few quick notes that may answer some questions you have:

• Minimum Power to enter the Haunted Forest is 750.
• You can hold up to 25 Cipher Decoders before you need to go open some chests in the Haunted Forest.
• There will be both earnable masks and masks available for Silver/Bright Dust.
  • Any Triumphs involving masks do not require masks from Eververse.
• Bounties will return from last year and will once again offer Bright Dust.
• All-new Eververse items will be available for both Silver and Bright Dust except for the “One-Inch Punch” finisher which will be available for Silver.
• The toothbrush is still just a toothbrush.
