Season of the Haunted was the seventeenth season in Destiny 2 and the second seasonal content of The Witch Queen annual pass, running from May 24th 2022 to August 23rd 2022.

During the season, the Vanguard and the Imperial Cabal must confront the return of Calus in his derelict and corrupted Leviathan orbiting the Moon. Now a herald of the Witness, the former emperor seeks control over the Lunar Pyramid as Guardians are forced to contain its Nightmares unleashed aboard his ship. Meanwhile, Eris Morn works alongside Zavala, Empress Caiatl, and Crow as they must confront their respective Nightmares and sever Calus's growing psychic connection.

Description

Story: Leviathan's Return

"Power, depravity, vengeance. The object of Calus's desire has taken many shapes over the years. His once-opulent ship, now derelict and corrupted, has returned to our galaxy—its sights set on the Pyramid ship lying dormant on the Moon."

Story: Ghosts of our Past

"As the Leviathan forms a connection with the Pyramid, Nightmares of the past awaken and threaten to torment any who dare intervene. Stare into the abyss and find bravery within the mantle of the reaper and the steel of the scythe."

Luna's Ward

"To better respond to the imminent threat, the H.E.L.M. has engaged its mobile command center capabilities and is now running dark within the Moon's orbit."

Activities: Become the Reaper

"Scalable Activity: Nightmare Containment
Evil resonates within the hull of the emperor's wretched vessel. Summon the most challenging Nightmares and cleanse them with fire."

"Weekly Mission: Sever
Navigate the Leviathan's labyrinthine Underbelly, uncover the truth behind Calus's sinister plan, and sever the Nightmares he controls."

Gear: Nightmares and Splendor

"Trespasser
Wield Shiro-4's Exotic Sidearm and let lightning flash across the tarnished gold of the Leviathan's twisted halls."

"Opulent Weapons
Reap a host of legendary armaments and fabled weaponry last seen within the emperor's coveted collection."

"Seasonal Weapons
Hauntingly beautiful weapons that obliterate Nightmares so swiftly, you'll think you're dreaming."

"Seasonal Armor
Ghostly glowing Guardians carrying the Light into the shadows of the Moon—you are the nightmare your enemies fear."

Season Pass

"Gear, XP, rewards! Get the Season Pass and instantly unlock the new Exotic Sidearm. Also get XP boosts that speed up Seasonal ranks and reward track unlocks."

"Warlock
Befriend these incandescent priests and find restoration. Oppose them and glimpse annihilation within the rain of a shattered dawn."

"Hunter
Radiant duelists who live within blinding displays of dexterity and skill. Beware the truth of their aim and the molten edge of their blade."

"Titan
Siege engines powered by the fury of undying suns. To confront them is to cede ground and ignite the maelstrom that ends all things."

Bungie Rewards: Haunted Threads

"There isn't a band of Calus's automatons dressed in black leather with gold spikes playing ear-shattering space metal on the Derelict Leviathan while you fire unrepentant lightning into a Nightmare charging at your fireteam.
But maybe there should be."
