A very spooky Festival of the Lost 2020 guide

In a normal year, Festival of the Lost would be the holiday event for the fall season of Destiny 2, but in a year that’s been anything but normal, things have shifted around a bit.

Part 1 of my Forsaken guide will cover the campaign, the ins and outs of the Tangled Shore and Dreaming City, the strikes that launched with the expansion, and the Blind Well activity. Part 2 will delve into the Shattered Throne dungeon and the Last Wish raid, as well as collections, Triumphs, and Seals to complete.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Forsaken may go free-to-play in the fall, but I have no confirmation one way or another. For the time being, you’ll want to pick up the expansion if you want to experience what I’ll cover in this guide.
