Destiny 2 continues its annual October fun, the Festival of the Lost 2023. It has officially launched again as a free mode for all players to enjoy. This event lasts for three weeks and allows players to complete certain objectives and earn rewards—including the shiny new Ghost Writer title, which players can gild until the next Festival of the Lost.
This year’s edition of Festival of the Lost brought back Haunted Sectors, which task players with exploring spooky versions of regular Lost Sectors and banishing the Headless Ones within. If you want to unlock the Ghost Writer title, however, you’ll need more than just taking out Headless Ones.
Guardians who want to take the Ghost Writer title will have to dive into Haunted Sectors as well as ritual activities and get kills with specific weapons and abilities, so players should keep a close eye on the list of challenges they need to complete. There’s a bit of work involved in getting the Ghost Writer title, but here’s how you can unlock it and show it off in Destiny 2.
All challenge requirements for the Ghost Writer title in Destiny 2
To unlock the Ghost Writer title, you’ll need to complete all Festival of the Lost event challenges. The title this year requires you to complete a whopping 16 Triumphs total, just like last year’s list. The shortened longlist of Triumphs is all relatively straightforward, so let’s get to the point.
Here are all the challenges needed to unlock the Ghost Writer triumph in Destiny 2. All values not specified in the triumphs were taken from light.gg.
