How to Get Spectral Pages Fast in Destiny 2

It’s the Festival of the Lost, and you know what that means! Eva’s back in the Tower with her hungry book. This book, which offers lore and is directly tied into the event card, needs you to convert Spectral Pages into Manifested Pages.

But how do you get Spectral Pages in Destiny 2? More importantly, how do you get them fast?

First, you’ll need to have a Mask equipped. Without a mask, your pages won’t drop. You’ll get a free mask from Eva in the Tower during the Classic Carving introduction mission, and you can purchase a new one from her if you accidentally dismantle it.

Getting Spectral Pages for the Festival of the Lost is easy. You can do any of the following activities:

  • Complete playlist activities. These are Vanguard strike missions, Crucible matches, and Gambit games. Each competition has the chance to drop three per match. It’s not guaranteed!
  • Complete Public Events on planets. There’s a chance that two to three Spectral Pages will drop, and there’s a higher chance you’ll get one if you completed a Heroic event.
  • Complete a Nightfall. This has a chance to net you five Spectral Pages.
  • Complete Seasonal Activities, like Savathun’s Spire and Altars of Summoning.
  • Complete Raid sections. Each section has a chance to drop two Spectral Pages.

While all of these are good options, especially if you want to play the game casually, there’s one option that makes farming Spectral Pages a breeze. And that’s the Lake of Shadows Strike in the European Dead Zone.

This is the fastest strike in the game, and many players can finish it in five minutes. You can launch it directly from the EDZ map. If you’re dedicated to grinding out pages, try to get a fireteam together to make your runs even more optimized.
