Quick answer: If two icons above the Floor 6 cauldron in Roblox The Hollow look like the same color, do not guess or copy a recipe from another player. Pause, compare the icons in good light, and submit only the ingredient matching the next displayed slot. Current walkthroughs describe a three-color recipe that can vary by player, but Roblox has not published an official rule for duplicate-color recipes. If the display appears genuinely duplicated and the cauldron will not advance, capture a screenshot, recheck the recipe after stepping away and returning, then consider rejoining the floor.

First, confirm whether the two icons really match
Floor 6's Animal Hospital room is dark, and the recipe icons can be easy to misread on a dim display. Before collecting anything, move close to the cauldron and check the icons from straight on. Increase your device brightness if needed, and use a flashlight or night-vision item if you have one. Write down the three slots from left to right so you do not accidentally swap the second and third ingredients.
- Compare the hue: cyan and white, or orange and red, may look similar in poor lighting.
- Check the order: even when the colors are clear, the sequence matters.
- Read each slot separately: do not assume the same-looking symbol is a duplicate until you have looked closely.
Use the reported color-to-ingredient guide
Third-party Floor 6 walkthroughs report the following mapping. Treat it as a community guide, not an official Roblox chart, and use the icon shown in your own run as the authority.
| Recipe color | Reported ingredient | Search tip |
|---|---|---|
| White | Bone | Check the floor edges and furniture. |
| Yellow | Mushroom | Scan beds, chairs, and corners. |
| Cyan | Feather | Compare the icon carefully with white. |
| Orange | Pumpkin | Do not confuse it with red in low light. |
| Green | Glob | Search around the room rather than following a fixed route. |
| Pink | Rose | Recheck the icon before carrying an item back. |
| Red | Tomato | Check the hue under better lighting. |
Ingredient locations may vary, so search the full Animal Hospital room, including around beds, chairs, flower pots, and the edges. Avoid assuming an object will spawn in the same place as it did in a video.
What if the recipe appears to repeat a color?
There is no verified, official duplicate-color workaround from Roblox at the time of this update. Use this safe troubleshooting order instead of wasting the run on random ingredients:
- Read the icons again. Step back, move closer, and check whether the second icon is actually a neighboring color.
- Follow the current slot. Carry the item for the next displayed color and test whether the cauldron advances to the following slot.
- Do not assume one object can satisfy two slots. Available walkthroughs explain matching three ingredients in order, but do not establish what the game should do with a genuinely repeated color.
- Take a screenshot before resetting. If the same icon appears twice and the cauldron refuses to progress, preserve the evidence in case you need to report a possible UI or puzzle issue.
- Try a fresh run only if needed. If the display remains unclear or unresponsive, leave and rejoin the experience, then check the new recipe. This is a troubleshooting suggestion, not a guaranteed fix.
Do not forget the Relic escape
Solving the cauldron is only one part of the reported Floor 6 route. Once the Relic appears, pick it up and return to the elevator while avoiding the Mimic. Keep track of landmarks on the way in and avoid unnecessary detours on the way out. Community guides identify The Amazing Liquefactive Bighead as the Floor 6 reward, but Roblox has not published a universal recipe or official duplicate-color bug fix.

Frequently asked questions
Is there one fixed Floor 6 color sequence for everyone?
No universal sequence has been confirmed by Roblox. Third-party walkthroughs report different color orders, so follow the icons displayed above your own cauldron.
What if two cauldron icons look exactly the same?
Recheck the display in better lighting and record a screenshot. Roblox has not published a confirmed rule for duplicate-color recipes, so do not assume the same ingredient will automatically count twice.
Should I copy a recipe from a YouTube video?
Use videos to learn the room layout, not to replace your own recipe. The sequence shown in another player's run may be different from yours.
Where do I get the Floor 6 reward?
Community walkthroughs say to take the Relic back to the elevator while avoiding the Mimic, then check your badge and avatar inventory. Roblox's official event announcement says rewards can be collected until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2, 2026.
