Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost features an introductory quest that grants access to the Event Card and a curated Sniper Rifle. However, there seems to be a problem for most of the playerbase, as Bungie's quest isn't progressing as intended.
While on the steps of converting Spectral pages to Manifested ones, almost half of the player base is stuck, ultimately keeping them from progressing in the event altogether. Bungie did release an official statement regarding the issue, but there has been no fix from the company yet.
However, the following article lists some workarounds that might help if you're stuck in the Haunted Sectors of Festival of the Lost.
Disclaimer: The fixes and workarounds mentioned in this article are by no means official, as Bungie is yet to release an official patch.
Fixes that may work against the Festival of the Lost quest bug in Destiny 2 (2022)
1) Switch to a different character
If you're stuck doing the Haunted Sectors for the introductory quest, chances are you'll probably stay that way until Bungie further updates. However, there is a chance of progression if you switch to a different character, head to the Tower, and start the quest from Eva Levante all over again.
Introductory quests don't sync between your characters, so switching up and heading back in can solve the issue. A few players in the community have reported that this method fixed their quest progression. However, an official fix for your first character remains unreleased.
2) Quit the activity and run it again
The second method you can try must be using the same character you're facing the bug on. By quitting the Haunted Sector, you can start collecting Spectral Pages via Vanguard Strikes, Gambit, or Crucible Playlist. After obtaining enough pages, initiate the activity via the small tree hologram beside Eva.
3) Solo queue
Another option to help you complete the mission is blocking the matchmaking on PC and other consoles. While the activity forces you to team up with two strangers, you can always use a solo script to bypass the matchmaking. This will put you in solo mode for your Haunted Sector runs.
The video above will help you set your path to the solo queue in almost all Destiny 2 activities. It's best to have your character floating in orbit while initiating the process.
4) Verify file integrity on PC
This is a standard procedure you should use for any game you face problems with. Since you're already at this step, the previous actions might have failed to fix the quest progression. Head to your Steam library, right-click on Destiny 2, go to the properties, and verify the integrity of the game files.
Often the issue might be from your client side, so verifying the game data to remove corrupt files may solve it.
5) Re-install the game
While this is a massive step for a title such as Destiny 2, re-installing the entire game can lead to a solution more times than you think. Simply uninstall the game and re-install it on your platform for a chance to fix the issue.
6) Things to do until Bungie releases an official patch
As mentioned earlier, there hasn't been any official fix from Bungie regarding this bug. However, you can farm as many Spectral Pages as you can in the meantime from activities such as Playlists, Public Events, and more.
