For U.S. Roblox players · October 29, 2026 · By Shivam Das
Quick answer: The most repeatable Floor 8 clear reported so far is an objective-first run: locate the WARDEN puzzle room, carry the five objects—Candle, Skull, Bottle, Lantern and Bell—one at a time to their matching glowing blue pedestals, then take the relic back to the elevator while avoiding The Overseer. This is a community-reported walkthrough, not an official Roblox step-by-step solution.
The key lesson from early clears is that Floor 8 is not simply a race through the maze. The reported objective sends players across the floor repeatedly, and the return trip matters just as much as placing the final object. A cleaner run comes from learning the elevator’s location, avoiding duplicate searches and planning each one-item delivery.
What Roblox has confirmed
Roblox’s official Halloween announcement names The Overseer from WARDEN among the nine monsters in The Hollow. Roblox confirms a live finale for the morning of October 31 and says eligible rewards remain collectible until noon Pacific time on November 2. Its announcement does not provide a Floor 8 walkthrough, named first-clear players or a speedrun leaderboard.
Roblox’s official account confirmed The Overseer for Night 8 on October 29, according to event reporting that tracks the post. Always check the live event hub and elevator in your own server rather than assuming a third-party countdown proves the floor is available to every player.
The reported Floor 8 clear, step by step
TechWiser’s independent walkthrough and The Hollow community tracker describe the same five-object pedestal objective. Both are third-party sources, so use the in-game prompts as the final authority.
- Enter Floor 8 and note the elevator. Remember nearby landmarks before exploring. The puzzle-room location is reported to vary, so a fixed coordinate from another player may not work in your run.
- Find the WARDEN puzzle room. Search for the room with the object table. A right-side search is one player-reported tip, not a guaranteed spawn location.
- Identify the five objects. The reported set is a Candle, Skull, Bottle, Lantern and Bell. Look for their corresponding glowing blue pedestals around the floor.
- Carry one object per trip. Walk an object from the table to its matching pedestal. Reports say you cannot carry all five at once, so plan separate trips.
- Place every object. Follow the live interaction prompt and visual match. No fixed fastest order has been verified for every maze layout; prioritize a nearby safe pedestal rather than blindly copying another player’s sequence.
- Return the relic to the elevator. Placing the final object is not the same as completing the escape. Once the relic appears, make your way back while avoiding The Overseer. The Rotten Pumpkin head accessory and badge are the reported Floor 8 reward.
What early clears suggest players should prioritize
Learn the exit before chasing the last object
The most frustrating failure in a multi-trip objective is finishing the puzzle and then losing the route back. Memorize one or two landmarks near the elevator. If the maze layout changes, navigate from what you can see in the current run rather than relying on a video’s map.
Make the closest safe delivery first
With a reported one-object carry limit, each delivery creates another trip through the maze. When several pedestals are visible, prioritize a short, safe carry. This is practical route planning—not a claim that one object order is proven fastest on every server.
Do not confuse survival with progress
Staying alive without placing the objects will not complete the objective. Placing the fifth object does not mean the run is over, either. Keep your attention on the return route until the relic reaches the elevator.
Coordinate with teammates
Call out the object table, pedestal locations and elevator landmarks. Avoid sending multiple players to search the same area. Treat guesses about codes, monster detection range or safe hiding spots as unverified unless they match the current in-game prompt or have been independently tested.
Rotten Pumpkin: what the reward evidence means
The Rotten Pumpkin badge is listed as an official The Hollow badge, and event trackers report substantial award activity in their October 29 snapshot. That supports the conclusion that players are completing the objective. It does not identify the first individual clearers, establish a verified speedrun record or prove that every account receives and equips the cosmetic instantly.
After the run, check the event reward prompt, your Roblox badge list and your avatar inventory. If the item does not appear, revisit the official experience and review its current instructions. Never enter your Roblox password, browser session cookie or one-time verification code on a third-party reward page.
What has not been proven
- Roblox has not published an official step-by-step Floor 8 solution.
- No universal fixed puzzle-room spawn point or fastest object order has been established by the sources reviewed.
- No official leaderboard naming the first individual players to clear The Overseer was found.
- Exact monster detection ranges, guaranteed hiding spots and escape timings should be treated as player observations unless independently corroborated.
- A badge award count is not a count of unique players or proof that a particular cosmetic is equipped.
Useful links before your next run
Open The Hollow on Roblox to check the live hub, and read Roblox’s official event announcement for the event format and reward deadline. For the reported pedestal sequence, compare TechWiser’s Floor 8 walkthrough with The Hollow community tracker’s Floor 8 notes; neither is Roblox support documentation.
