The Festival of the Lost returns to Destiny 2 in 2025, bringing haunted sectors, spooky masks, and coveted secrets like the Spectral Carapace emblem. This elusive reward requires completing the hidden Twilight triumph, whose objectives remain shrouded in mystery until Guardians begin their eerie quest. Beyond the emblem itself, determined players can secure a Lost Memento from previous events—a rare trophy for collectors. The path involves specific masks, calculated enemy encounters, and understanding the rhythm of this limited-time celebration.

Unlocking the Twilight Triumph

Finding the Twilight triumph requires navigating to the 'General' section under Episode: Revenant, though its objectives initially appear as cryptic question marks. The initiation seems almost deceptively simple: equip the Tower Staff Mask and converse with both Eva Levante and Saint-14 in the Tower. This completes the first phase.

Things intensify with the Cursed Thrall Mask. Guardians must secure 100 explosive kills using weapons like grenade launchers or rockets. High-density enemy zones accelerate progress—Altars of Sorrow or the Grasp of Avarice entrance work well. Crucible kills grant double progress, offering PvP enthusiasts an alternative route.

The final combat challenge demands the Finalized Ghost Mask alongside a sword. Fifty sword kills must be executed within Expert Haunted Sectors, accessible directly from the Tower. Matchmaking doesn't exist here, allowing focused grinding without completing objectives. Simply enter, eliminate targets, reset, and repeat. Once done, claim the triumph for both the Spectral Carapace emblem and Lost Memento.

Efficient Candy Harvesting Strategies

Candy fuels Festival of the Lost purchases, but gathering 15,000 requires dedicated farming. Wearing any event mask generates Candy everywhere, though efficiency varies wildly. Solo players thrive in Heroic Public Events within the European Dead Zone due to rapid enemy respawns. Alternatively, replaying the easiest Nightfall—with matchmaking enabled—provides consistent gains.

Pre-made fireteams unlock superior methods. Farming the Shattered Throne's final boss checkpoint yields massive Candy hauls per run. Coordination ensures nonstop loops of this high-reward activity. Daily passive collection shouldn't be overlooked either. Two Tower trees—near Eva Levante and Ikora in the Bazaar—dispense roughly 1,000 Candy per character daily. Missing these freebies slows overall progress unnecessarily.
