Season of the Haunted’s Seasonal Challenges

Season of the Haunted is in full swing and Guardians have a new batch of seasonal challenges going live every week. These challenges are a curated list of objectives that can award players with large chunks of XP, Bright Dust, Figments of Darkness to upgrade the Crown of Sorrow, and much more. Players will be spending a lot of time in the Seasonal Activities – Nightmare Containment, Sever, etc. – and on the Derelict Leviathan to complete many of these challenges.

We’ve compiled an up-to-date list of the currently available seasonal challenges for Season of the Haunted. Players will need to complete 72 of these seasonal challenges before the season ends if they want to claim the Large Bright Dust pile at the end of the rainbow.
