Destiny Dead Ghosts location guide [inc. DB, HoW, Taken King, Rise of Iron, and Age of Triumph]

The Tower

The Tower is the Guardian's place of respite, where they can shop, bounce the occasional ball around, spend Glimmer at the shops, balance precariously off various struts and flagpoles, and go shopping. Your base of operations is basically a shopping centre, is what I'm saying.

There are 4 Dead Ghosts in the Tower that the so-called 'cleaning robots' failed to find. Endlessly shunting a handful of leaves around with a broom does not constitute essential maintenance. They're up to something. Leaving them to conspicuously plot their robot uprising, you can find the Dead Ghosts in the following spots:

Dead Ghost #1 - Tower Plaza

Standing in the main plaza with your back to the last bastion on Earth, head up the steps to the left and scooch on up the staircase on the right.

At the top of the stairs, you'll see a pile of crates with a Dead Ghost resting on top.

Dead Ghost #2 - Tower North

Starting in the plaza with your back to the Traveler, take the exit to your left to enter Tower North and pop around the corner on the left to visit the Speaker.

But what's this? The wily old goat has been brazenly flaunting a Dead Ghost right at the entrance of his library. Grab it and go. He knows that we know that he knows we know. And that's good enough for now.

Dead Ghost #3 - Hall of Guardians (and home of Nathan Fillion)

The stairs leading down at the back of the plaza will take you to the Hall of Guardians, where you can find the Vanguard for each class and a couple of the crew from Serenity.

Resisting the urge to run down the stairs and cycle through every available dialogue scenario, turn right and walk over to the table by the wall to find another Dead Ghost (not pictured here because I was too efficient and found it already).

Dead Ghost #4 - Traveler's Walk

This area is initially cordoned off. You can press your nose against those flaps all you like, but they're not budging. Lord Saladin hates visitors.

When the area does open up, head to the far end on the right hand side.

Here you'll find the Dead Ghost resting on the edge of the balcony.
