Destiny 2: The Dawning Complete Recipe and Resource Guide (2023)

The Dawning 2023 has arrived to Destiny 2, spreading a gossamer sparkle and holiday cheer across the Tower. For veterans of the game, there are a few things that you already know to expect: new cosmetics, snowballs, and, of course, the return of Eva’s Holiday Oven.

Eva is a pillar of Destiny’s annual, holiday-based events, and she always arrives under the premise of getting Guardians in the spirit of the season. And for the Dawning, Destiny’s winter holiday event, that means baking cookies and delivering them to your Guardian’s loved ones, acquaintances, and allies on thin ice.

But crafting these cookies isn’t as easy as kneading dough. You’ll need to kill many enemies in many unique ways to get the ingredients, which all happen to be resources pillaged from their corpses. Doesn’t Vex Milk and Cabal Oil sound delicious? And while uncommon ingredients are fairly easy to grind for, rare ingredients often stump guardians on how they’re obtained. That’s what this Easy Bake Oven guide for the Dawning is here to help you with!
