Quick answer: Clear Floor 8 first, return the relic safely to the elevator, claim the Rotten Pumpkin reward, then check your ticket balance and buy the daily shop items you actually want. Save optional tools until you have secured the cosmetics you value. Puzzle steps and some prices below are third-party reports, not official Roblox instructions; verify live in-game prompts before acting.
Why clear Floor 8 before shopping?
The Hollow is Roblox’s 2026 Halloween survival event, with nine nights and a different horror-game monster each day. Roblox confirms that rewards remain collectible until noon Pacific Time on November 2, 2026. The official announcement does not publish a detailed Floor 8 puzzle walkthrough or a complete shop-price list. Night 8 features The Overseer from WARDEN, according to Roblox’s event lineup. Finish the floor, secure the reward, and then make spending decisions with your updated balance.
The recommended Floor 8 clear order
- Note your return route. Before taking the elevator, remember where the exit is so you can return without unnecessary detours.
- Scout before carrying. Sweep the maze, locate the puzzle room, and note the glowing blue pedestals. Current walkthrough reporting says the room location can vary.
- Identify the five objects. Third-party guides report a Candle, Skull, Bottle, Lantern, and Bell. They also report a one-object carry limit. Roblox has not published an official step-by-step guide confirming these details.
- Deliver the closest object first. Start with the object whose matching pedestal is easiest to reach from the puzzle room. Do not assume the same object will always be closest; maze routes can vary.
- Make one delivery per trip. Carry each object to its matching glowing pedestal. If The Overseer is nearby, prioritize survival and breaking line of sight over speed.
- Confirm the final placement. Check that the relic objective has registered before leaving the area.
- Return to the elevator. Follow your planned route, avoid unnecessary exploration, and use sprint when it helps you escape danger.
- Verify the reward in the hub. Current walkthroughs associate Floor 8 completion with the Rotten Pumpkin accessory and badge. Check the reward display, badge notification, and inventory after returning.
What to buy after the relic
Open the LITTLE SHOP OF TERROR and inspect the live item cards before spending. An independent shop-price guide reports that the Night 8 item, Helm of the Waning Moon, costs 100 Tickets, while Overseer Bandages costs 20 Tickets. These are third-party observations, not prices guaranteed by Roblox; trust the live card if it differs.
Priority 1: the daily item you want to keep
If Helm of the Waning Moon is available and you want it, reserve the reported 100 Tickets before buying optional tools or older cosmetics. Confirm the price on the item card.
Priority 2: earlier daily cosmetics you are missing
Check whether Overseer Bandages or other previously revealed items remain available. Buy the missing item you value most, then re-check your balance. Do not assume every item remains until the final day unless its timer or Roblox confirms that.
Priority 3: utility tools
Save optional tools until after your wanted cosmetics are secured. A flashlight or detection tool may help if you repeatedly get caught, but compare its description, duration, cooldown, and price before purchasing.
How to rebuild your ticket balance
Use the Visit Games panel to find partner-game objectives. Read each prompt before teleporting, complete the objective, return to The Hollow, and redeem the reward in the hub. Independent reporting says many prompts offer 20 Tickets, while some objectives may pay differently. Record the actual amount shown in the redemption panel rather than budgeting from an assumed total.
- Choose partner-game objectives you can complete reliably.
- Return to The Hollow after each objective and redeem the reward.
- Check the ticket counter after confirming redemption.
- Compare your balance with the live shop price before buying.
- Keep a reserve until you have checked for newly unlocked daily items.
Common mistakes that waste a run
- Carrying before scouting: map the room and nearby pedestals first.
- Trying to carry multiple objects: guides report a one-object carry limit, so plan separate trips.
- Assuming a fixed route: use landmarks from your own maze run.
- Leaving before returning the relic: finish the elevator return and verify the reward.
- Spending before checking the daily item: inspect the current card and price first.
- Confusing Tickets with Robux: they are different currencies. Read every purchase prompt carefully.
When does The Hollow reward window close?
Roblox says players can continue collecting event rewards until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2, 2026. Complete objectives and claim rewards well before the cutoff. Individual shop timers may end earlier, so check them separately.
