Destiny 2: How to start and complete The Mystery of the Missing Bags during Festival of the Lost

There’s a hidden Quest tucked away into Destiny 2‘s Festival of the Lost Halloween event this year. And while it’s nothing that will reward players with a secret Exotic mission or a new weapon, it’s a cute little romp that adds a little extra flavor to the four-year-old celebration. However, this Quest isn’t outwardly advertised within the game. It takes a little curiosity, or the right know-how, to start the task, and the same goes for completing it.

The Festival of the Lost is Destiny 2‘s yearly Halloween celebration. While the event has had its share of surprises in the past, nowadays, variety comes in the form of new costume cosmetics each year. But this year, there’s a bit of a surprise during Festival of the Lost. It’s nothing as big as the Xenophage Exotic that was introduced during a Festival of the Lost past, but it’s still a good bit of fun to get Guardians into the spirit of the season.

How to begin The Mystery of the Missing Bags

Before players can start the hidden Quest, The Mystery of the Missing Bags, there are a few things that players must complete first. The most important prerequisite is for players to complete the introductory Festival of the Lost Quest from Eva Levante: Classic Carving. This simple Quest will teach players the ins and outs of the event, gifting them a Masquerader’s Hood Halloween mask and introducing the Haunted Lost Sectors.

Once Classic Carving is complete, players will gain access to the Festival of the Lost event card. It contains a set of event-specific Triumphs that contain a variety of rewards. The next thing Guardians need to do before they can obtain The Mystery of the Missing Bags Quest is complete the Hocus Focusing Triumph on the event card. All that’s required is for players to head to Eva and focus an Eerie Engram. It doesn’t matter what the Engram is focused into, so long as its spent. Once the Triumph is complete, it will reward players with the Tower Staff Mask Ornament.

The Ornament can be used to modify the appearance of the Masquerader’s Hood, and hilariously enough, it makes the mask look a bit like Jotaro Kujo from Jo Jo’s Bizarre Adventure. With the Ornament set and the Masquerader’s Hood equipped, Guardians can pay a visit to Eva Levante in The Tower for a surprise bit of dialogue and the start of The Mystery of the Missing Bags Quest.

How to complete The Mystery of the Missing Bags

There isn’t much to this hidden Festival of the Lost Quest. All that’s required of players is a visit to the nearby Saint-14 in The Tower’s Hangar. Saint will have his own bit of dialogue to add an extra bit of flair to the quick ordeal, and then he’ll hand over a reward. Guardians will receive a Confiscated Grab Bag from the Exo. The rewards from the Grab Bag seem to range from just Glimmer to gear, with no apparent predictability.

While the quick little mask Quest can be completed just as quickly as it can be started, it’s worth noting that there are other mask Ornaments available through the Festival of the Lost event card. It very well may be that this won’t be the last time during the spooky season where Guardians don a mask to uncover some hidden surprises.
