Get ready, Guardians! The festive season in Destiny 2 has arrived with the return of Dawning. This beloved event invites you to gather ingredients throughout the system, including the elusive Dark Frosting, which you’ll need to whip up delicious treats for your comrades.
Dark Frosting is a rare ingredient within the Dawning universe, dropping based on how you take down enemies. There’s a variety of foes to defeat, allowing you to spread joy among your favorite NPCs across the Sol System. Let’s dive into how to secure this key element.
How can you farm Dark Frosting in Destiny 2’s Dawning 2025?
To snag Dark Frosting, you need to eliminate enemies using Stasis or Strand damage. While the drop isn’t guaranteed, it’s frequent enough that you won’t struggle to collect what you need for your baking adventures.
Since it is a rare drop, you might find it alongside other vital ingredients. For example, dispatching foes with a Strand sword can potentially yield both Dark Frosting and Sharp Flavor.
Which recipes call for Dark Frosting in Destiny 2’s Dawning?
In the game lore, Dark Frosting is said to “add a decadently deep, rich flavor” to your confections. It’s one of the rarer ingredients and only features in a handful of recipes:
- Starwort Thins (Elsie Bray/The Exo Stranger)
- Neomun-Pie (Nimbus)
- Dark Matter Drizzlers (Dean Rebecca of the Aionians)
If you’re aiming to bake a specific treat like Dark Matter Drizzlers, it’s wise to also farm for the other ingredient needed. For instance, Starwort Thins require Dark Ether Cane, which drops from Scorn enemies. If you want to earn favor with Elsie Bray, targeting Scorn using Stasis or Strand damage is a solid strategy. Similarly, taking down Fallen is an effective way to collect ingredients for Dark Matter Drizzlers while working towards multiple goals.
What is Dark Frosting used for in Destiny 2?
Dark Frosting is a key ingredient in a few recipes during the Dawning, mainly enhancing the flavor of the treats you prepare. To maximize your time, focus on the recipes that require this ingredient.
How often does Dark Frosting drop?
The drop rate for Dark Frosting isn’t set in stone; it varies with the enemy type you eliminate. Using Stasis or Strand damage increases your chances of getting it, but be prepared for some farming.
Can you use Dark Frosting in other recipes?
Currently, Dark Frosting is exclusive to just a few recipes and doesn’t have widespread use throughout the Dawning event. Make the most of it by choosing your baking targets and objectives wisely!
