A clever Destiny 2 created a brilliant Dark Souls-themed costume, transforming their Titan into one of the series’ uniquely-dressed Knights of Catarina. The costume was created for the ongoing Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost event.
Destiny 2 is already famous in part for its players’ ability to harness the in-game armor customization system for all manner of brilliant cosplay outfits. Activity is particularly pronounced around the Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost, the game’s annual Halloween event. The Festival of the Lost is typically where Bungie introduces some of the game’s most “fun” new outfits for Guardians, and also adds more to the large selection of festive masks that can be worn while playing.

Festival of the Lost is in full swing on Destiny 2, and with it came the return of the Candy currency. It’s important to discuss how to farm it.
DestinyFashion Reddit community member jayrobodog2560 put one of those Halloween masks to good use when they created a Dark Souls-themed costume based on the famous Knights of Catarina. Players nicknamed the characters “Onion Knights,” not as a reference to a famous Game of Thrones character, but because of the bulbous shape of their Catarina armor set.
Destiny 2 Dark Souls Knight of Catarina Costume Looks Just Like Siegward
The centerpiece of jayrobodog2560’s Onion Knight costume is built around the Wrapped Traveler Mask from 2020. It’s based on the Traveler, which Guardians traveled inside when they entered the Pale Heart in Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Its globular shape matches the “masterfully forged curves” of the Catarina Armor helmet. The rest of the costume is made from other similarly curved armor pieces, like the Gensym Knight Gauntlets, Plate of Nohr, Turris Shade Greaves, and Mark of the Great Hunt. The whole set is given its off-white color through the low-rarity Desert Matte shader.
Destiny 2 fans who saw the Dark Souls Onion Knight costume praised its accuracy and jayrobodog2560’s use of relatively unpopular costume parts in their outfit. Others also highlighted jayrobodog2560’s screenshots, which also include a bit of role-playing and dialog that make it seem like an actual Dark Souls charcter ended up in the world of Destiny 2. In the brief slideshow, the captions cast jayrobodog2560 as Siegeler, a lost Knight of Catarina playing out a scenario similar to Siegward’s quest in Dark Souls 3.
Despite ongoing uncertainty about the future of Destiny 2 in the wake of recent layoffs and other turbulence at developer Bungie, there’s no denying that the game’s community remains a font of creativity. That’s owed in part to the vast legacy of cosmetic looks and armor pieces the game has grown and continuously added to over its long history as one of the most popular persistent shooters around.
