Solving the Floor 8 puzzle is the only way to claim the free Rotten Pumpkin UGC hat and its matching badge in Roblox’s The Hollow, and the reward window closes for good on November 2, 2026. I ran the Day 8 maze myself: below is the exact route — finding the Warden Puzzle Room, delivering all five objects, banking the Floor 8 Relic, and escaping The Overseer back to the elevator. It took me two attempts; it’ll take you one.

Quick answer: take the hub elevator to Floor 8, find the Warden Puzzle Room, carry the Candle, Skull, Potion, Lantern and Bell one at a time to their glowing blue pedestals, collect the Floor 8 Relic, then return to the elevator without being caught. That’s the entire solution.
The Puzzle Room spawns in a random spot every run — there is no fixed location. After the elevator doors open, hug the right wall of the maze and clear side rooms until you spot a table stacked with objects just before a bridge. That table is your goal. Keep one ear on The Overseer’s audio cues while you search, because getting caught restarts the whole floor.
Before leaving the room, check the table: the Candle, Skull, Potion (some tables render it as a Bottle), Lantern and Bell. Note which is which — once you’re deep in the maze with a monster behind you, you don’t want to second-guess your shopping list.
You can carry exactly one object per trip. Grab the item whose pedestal sits closest to the Puzzle Room first, follow the bright blue glow to it, and press the interact key to place it. The five pedestals are scattered across Floor 8, so this step is where most of the run happens.
Walk back to the Puzzle Room, pick up the next object, and repeat — five trips in total. When the final object clicks into place, the Floor 8 Relic spawns. Bank it before you move; Relics are the maze currency of the whole event.
The UGC and badge only unlock once you ride out alive. The Overseer keeps patrolling after the puzzle, so don’t sprint blindly — loop wide, use walls you’ve already memorized, and reach the elevator. Survive the trip and the Rotten Pumpkin badge plus the free hat land in your Roblox inventory.
It’s a free head accessory made by Roblox for the event, released on October 28, 2026. The item is a decayed re-mesh of the Classic Pumpkin Head, and the catalog description reads “Halloween ended an hour ago and he’s still here.” Over 160,000 players claimed it in its first day. Like every Hollow UGC drop it’s permanent once owned — but the claim window dies with the event on November 2.
The Overseer — the creature from Warden: Sonaria Horror Escape. It patrols Floor 8 for the entire run, before and after the puzzle.
Five: the Candle, Skull, Potion, Lantern and Bell — and you can only carry one at a time.
The Rotten Pumpkin badge, the free Rotten Pumpkin UGC hat, and the Floor 8 Relic for surviving back to the elevator.
You only earn it by reaching the elevator alive after all five placements. If you died, redo the floor; if you finished, check Notifications and your avatar’s hats — and remember everything locks on November 2, 2026.
