- — Event description
The Festival of the Lost is a limited time event held in the Tower each year, coinciding with Halloween.
Overview
- "Have some candy, Guardian. Death has passed us by this night."
- — Eva Levante
The Festival of the Lost honors and celebrates the spirits of the dead, Guardian and citizen alike. The event involves the consumption of candy.[1]
Year Two
Gameplay
The first event began on October 26, 2015, and ended on November 9, 2015.[2]
Speaking with Eva Levante will present players with quest Sweet Memories, in which they must collect candy from vendors around the Tower. Completing this will open three additional quests: The Masks We Wear, Playing Pretend, and Face Off!, each of which require collecting masks and using them in specific situations.
The primary reward of the festival is a collection of new cosmetic items called Masks, which are worn like helmets but offer no additional stats or perks. Rare Masks will expire at the end of the festival and be removed from the player's inventory, but Legendary Masks are permanent; Rare Masks can be upgraded into Legendary Masks using an event-exclusive material called Paper Glue.

In addition to the above rewards, the Eververse Trading Company is offering a series of premium Festival of the Lost-themed items, including Treasures of the Lost mystery bags, and the Emotes "Boo", "Monster Dance", and "Zombie Dance".
Year Three
Gameplay
The second event began on October 25, 2016, and ended on November 8, 2016.
Speaking with Eva Levante will again unlock the Sweet Memories quest, but completing it will reward a new questline. In addition, Tyra Karn at the Iron Temple will have a second questline.
In a change from the previous year's event, all Masks acquired are now Legendary and permanent, without the need for upgrading. However, the majority of Masks are rewarded only from purchasing Treasures of the Lost bags from Eververse. Eva Levante sells only the Speaker Mask, Cryptarch Mask, Crota Mask, and Gifts of the Lost bags with static rewards for candy.
In addition, Trials of Osiris had some changes during Festival of the Lost. Fireteam members were not able to revive each other, radar was disabled, and anyone who aimed down sights for too long would see a spider crawl down their screen. Anyone who won five games during the Halloween-themed Trials of Osiris received the Midnight Hunt emblem.
