Updated October 24, 2026 · By Shivam Das
Adopt Me’s Halloween Week 4 is live, and the calendar is now the biggest resource to manage. The official October 23 update confirms the return of Where Bear?, the arrival of Count Slothula, and the Stray Cat Dragon unlock. The wider Halloween event is scheduled to end October 31, so players should spend this final stretch on rewards they genuinely want—not try to buy everything.
Quick answer: Start with rewards that require a limited-time unlock or event currency, check the exact in-game price before spending, and do not buy Count Slothula just because it is new. The official notes list Count Slothula at 99 Robux, Slothula Fangs at 5,000 Candy Corn, the Halloween 2026 Sticker Pack at 750 Candy Corn, and the Stray Cat Dragon at 120,000 Candy Corn after its unlock step. Read the official Week 4 update notes.
1. Put the Stray Cat Dragon at the top of your limited-time checklist
If you want the Stray Cat Dragon, do not treat it as a simple Candy Corn purchase. The official notes say to feed the Stray Cat Polymorphing Cat Food found through the Crypt, which transforms the cat; you then need to purchase the pet for 120,000 Candy Corn. Feeding the cat alone does not automatically put the dragon in your inventory.
- Collect Crypt Keys from event tasks and eligible minigame rewards.
- Use the keys to open Crypt coffins until you find Polymorphing Cat Food. The drop is random, so do not assume a specific coffin will contain it.
- Travel to the Stray Cat at the Carnival and interact while holding the food.
- Interact with the transformed cat again and confirm the 120,000 Candy Corn purchase only if you have enough currency and still want it.
Priority tip: Decide whether this Legendary pet is your main goal before spending Candy Corn on lower-priority accessories. You need both the unlock item and the purchase currency.
2. Treat Count Slothula as a separate, optional Robux decision
Count Slothula costs 99 Robux and is listed as Ultra Rare in the official Week 4 notes. That puts it in a different budget from Candy Corn rewards. If you are saving Robux, do not let the new-pet excitement push you into an unplanned purchase. The community event reference reports that Count Slothula is expected to move to the Pet Shop after the event, but check the live shop before relying on that detail.
For free-to-play players, the practical move is to skip the Robux offer and focus on Candy Corn, event tasks, and the rewards that are limited to the Halloween event.
3. Use Where Bear? as an active earning route—not a guaranteed jackpot
The returning Where Bear? mode has three roles: Bear, Hunter, and Survivor. The official update describes the role objectives and confirms players can pick up Candy Corn during the round. A good round depends on your role and how long you survive or how effectively you complete the objective, so avoid guides promising one fixed payout for every match.
As a Survivor, prioritize staying alive and collecting nearby Candy Corn without taking unnecessary risks. As a Hunter, watch for Bears and protect Survivors. As a Bear, stay out of the Hunters’ line of sight while trying to catch Survivors. If a match is going badly, learn the map and role mechanics rather than spending Robux to compensate for a few low-reward rounds.
4. Keep a small-currency shopping list
Not every useful reward costs six figures. The October 23 official notes list Slothula Fangs for 5,000 Candy Corn and the Halloween 2026 Sticker Pack for 750 Candy Corn. Those are much smaller targets than the Stray Cat Dragon, so they can make sense if you have already decided not to pursue the dragon—or if you finish your main target early.
- First: Decide whether you are pursuing the 120,000-Candy-Corn Stray Cat Dragon.
- Second: Reserve enough currency for any other limited event item you personally want.
- Third: Spend leftover Candy Corn on smaller accessories or the sticker pack.
- Last: Buy purely cosmetic extras only after checking that your main target is covered.
5. Use event tasks and pet needs between minigames
Do not spend every minute waiting for a minigame. Check the current Halloween task board, complete the tasks you can finish quickly, and tend to pet needs while waiting for the next activity. These are practical ways to keep progressing without relying on a single mode or a specific payout claim from an unofficial guide.
Crypt Keys deserve special attention if the Stray Cat Dragon is your goal, because the Polymorphing Cat Food comes from Crypt coffins. Open coffins while you still have time to use the food and gather the required Candy Corn. If the event is close to ending and your balance is far below 120,000, compare the remaining time with your realistic earning rate before committing to the grind.
Final-week priority plan
| Priority | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Choose your main goal: Stray Cat Dragon or smaller rewards | The dragon needs an unlock item plus 120,000 Candy Corn |
| 2 | Collect Crypt Keys and search coffins if pursuing the dragon | Polymorphing Cat Food is required to transform the Stray Cat |
| 3 | Play Where Bear? and complete event tasks | Earn Candy Corn while learning the active mode’s mechanics |
| 4 | Consider Slothula Fangs and the sticker pack with leftover currency | These have much lower listed prices |
| 5 | Check the live shop and event timer before your final purchase | Event details and availability can change in-game |
