Haunted Sectors

A Headless One.

Celebrate the Festival of the Lost by exploring mysterious Haunted Sectors.

Haunted Sectors is a 3-player matchmade playlist activity from the Festival of the Lost event. It was introduced with the Festival of the Lost 2021 event, replacing the Haunted Forest activity from previous years.

Overview

During the event, the Haunted Sectors Playlist can be accessed from the Tower map in the Director, or by interacting with the hologram to the right of Eva Levante and the Book of the Forgotten in the Tower Courtyard. The activity has a recommended Power Level of 1350, making it accessible to all players. The Gone but Not Forgotten quest will introduce players to the activity, as well as the overall event.

Haunted Sectors are Lost Sectors that have been re-decorated for the Festival of the Lost. The 2021 event included K1 Revelation, Perdition, and The Rift. Flooded Chasm was added in the 2022 event.

A Haunted Sector begins with players clearing out the initial groups of enemies. Eventually, summoning circles will start appearing. They are marked by A/B/C waypoints and disappear after 30 seconds. Standing in a circle will stop the timer and progress the Summoning Ritual. When the ritual is complete, a Headless One will be summoned. These pumpkin-headed enemies are similar to Hive Knights, wielding a Solar Splinter weapon and able to summon defensive barriers. Defeating a Headless One will convert a Spectral Page in each player's inventory into a Manifested Page when the activity is over.

As players complete Summoning Rituals and defeat Headless Ones, the summoning circles will appear more frequently, with two or three appearing at the same time. The team will have 5 minutes to summon and defeat up to 10 Headless Ones, while also dealing with normal enemies that spawn. When time runs out, all remaining Headless Ones will despawn and the boss will appear. When the boss takes enough damage, it will become immune. Two summoning circles will appear, allowing more Headless Ones to be summoned. These Headless Ones will drop Pumpkin Charges, which can be picked up and thrown at the boss to damage its shields. After dealing more damage to it, it will become immune again, with three summoning circles appearing. When the boss is defeated, a chest will appear.

However, pages will only be converted at the end of the activity, with the boss chest rewarding the Manifested Pages. Up to 15 Headless Ones can be killed per activity: 10 before the boss appears, and 5 when fighting the boss. Candy will also be rewarded if the player is wearing a Festival Mask.

The following weapons can randomly drop when a Haunted Sector is completed. Transforming Spectral Pages into Manifested Pages will increase the amount of weapons that drop.

Notes

• When launching the activity, the game will warn the player if they do not have a Festival Mask equipped. However, wearing a mask only affects whether or not the player will earn Candy when killing enemies or completing the activity. Completing an activity without a mask will still convert Spectral Pages to Manifested Pages and drop weapons.
