The Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost 2023 will start on the 17 October weekly reset, on Tuesday. There's no official date for when will it end but it'll most likely run all the way until Season of the Witch itself wraps up on 28 November.

Festival of the Lost Haunted Lost Sectors

Like the last few Festival of the Lost celebrations, Haunted Lost Sectors will be the primary way players will interact with the event. However, new for this year are Legend Haunted Sectors, a harder version of the usual spooky-themed Lost Sectors.

Eerie Engrams and Hocus Focusing

Another new resource for this year are Eeerie Engrams, which players can use to Hocus Focus (neat) for certain rewards.

We'll have a complete guide to help you farm Eerie Engrams soon so stay tuned! You can focus your engrams in four categories.

  • Weapons Eerie Engram (Festival weapons for a higher candy cost)
  • Exotic Arms Eerie Engram
  • Exotic Legs Eerie Engram
  • Exotic Helmet Eerie Engram
  • Exotic Chest Eerie Engram

The costs for each are as follows:

Exotic Arms

  • 1 Eeerie Engram Cost
  • 2500 Candy cost

Some very important notes regarding focusing:

  • Players must own the expansion that the Exotic armor is tied to in order for it to be eligible to drop from Hocus Focusing).
  • Required expansions for each Exotic armor piece are listed further below (The Forsaken Pack counts towards the Forsaken expansion requirement).
  • Players will not need to have acquired the Exotic armor previously for it to be eligible to drop from Hocus Focusing.
  • This means players who are still missing Exotic armor will have a chance to earn it from Hocus Focusing.
  • Players will only receive Exotic armor for the class that they are currently playing while interacting with Hocus Focusing.
