For U.S. Roblox players · October 29, 2026 · By Shivam Das
Quick answer: Roblox officially confirms The Overseer from WARDEN as part of The Hollow’s nine-monster Halloween event, and the Floor 8 reward list includes a badge named Rotten Pumpkin. Community trackers also list the Helm of the Waning Moon, Wings of Corrupted Jerry, and Ofuda Survival Kit, but exact unlock routes and some ticket prices remain community-reported rather than fully documented by Roblox. Check the live hub and your inventory before assuming a reward is missing.
Night 8 reward lists can be confusing because “the item exists,” “the badge exists,” and “the unlock method is officially confirmed” are three different things. This guide keeps those claims separate so U.S. players can prioritize the Floor 8 objective without wasting tickets or repeating quests based on an unverified post.
What is officially confirmed?
Roblox’s October 21 newsroom announcement confirms The Hollow is a limited-time Halloween survival event with nine monsters appearing over nine days. The official lineup includes The Overseer from WARDEN. Roblox also says players can earn exclusive UGC and rewards by completing quests, that the live finale is planned for the morning of October 31, and that eligible rewards remain collectible until noon Pacific time on November 2.
Roblox’s announcement does not provide a complete item-by-item reward table or a step-by-step Floor 8 puzzle walkthrough. A named item may be verifiable in the Roblox catalog or badge records even when a community guide’s claimed method still needs an in-game check.

Night 8 rewards: confirmed names versus reported routes
| Reward or detail | What current sources support | What to verify in-game |
|---|---|---|
| Rotten Pumpkin | The item and corresponding Floor 8 badge are listed by Roblox catalog/badge trackers; the reported route is the Floor 8 pedestal puzzle. | Complete the live objective, return the relic if prompted, and check both the claim confirmation and avatar inventory. |
| Helm of the Waning Moon | Community trackers list it as a Night 8 ticket-shop item and report a 100-ticket price. | Open the actual shop panel and confirm the price before spending. Treat the reported price as unverified until the live shop agrees. |
| Wings of Corrupted Jerry | Trackers list a related WARDEN quest reward, but detailed steps are not consistently documented. | Open the WARDEN quest prompt and follow the requirements shown there; do not rely on a copied checklist alone. |
| Ofuda Survival Kit | Trackers list a related PETAPETA quest reward, but the complete method is not confirmed in Roblox’s main announcement. | Check the PETAPETA quest panel and the live hub’s claim instructions. |
Important: The table intentionally labels community-reported methods as reports. Roblox confirms the event and broad reward system, but its newsroom article does not verify each individual route or ticket cost.
How to check whether you actually received Rotten Pumpkin
- Enter the official The Hollow experience and use the hub elevator to check whether Floor 8 is available.
- Read the objective shown in your own server. Community walkthroughs describe a pedestal puzzle, but follow the live prompt if the wording or mechanics differ.
- After the objective, wait for the in-game completion or claim confirmation rather than immediately leaving the server.
- Open your Roblox avatar inventory and search for “Rotten Pumpkin.” Also check whether the related badge appears on your profile.
- If the item is not visible, recheck the quest state and inventory after rejoining once. Save the exact error message if the claim still fails.
Why some “free UGC” lists disagree
The Hollow has several reward channels: hub-floor puzzle rewards, quests in participating games, ticket-shop items, and special ghost-launcher drops. A reward that costs tickets is not the same as a zero-cost quest reward, and an item sold on Marketplace is not automatically free just because it is associated with the event.
There is also a difference between an item’s identity and its acquisition method. A catalog page can establish that an accessory exists, while the exact quest sequence may still be based on player reports. When two guides disagree about a ticket price or claim step, the live shop and quest prompt should take priority over screenshots, reposts, or video titles.
Five checks before spending tickets or repeating a quest
- Check the item name exactly. Similar Halloween accessories can have different costs and unlock requirements.
- Check the live ticket price. Do not spend based on a price copied from an older clip.
- Confirm the reward channel. Determine whether the item comes from a hub puzzle, partner-game quest, ticket shop, or ghost launcher.
- Check inventory and badge status separately. A badge and an avatar item are related in some cases, but one screen alone may not prove both have updated.
- Avoid third-party unlock tools. Never give a website your password or install scripts to claim a Roblox event item.
When does the event reward window close?
Roblox says players can continue collecting eligible rewards until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2, 2026. The live finale is planned for the morning of October 31, so the finale date and reward-collection deadline are not the same. If you are still working through a quest, leave time to verify the claim before the final window closes.
For U.S. players, November 2 at noon Pacific Standard Time is 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Because the U.S. daylight-saving change occurs on November 1, be careful with older countdowns that may still display Pacific Daylight Time.
Official links and community tracking
Start with Roblox’s own event announcement and The Hollow experience. Community reward trackers can help identify item names and reported routes, but they are secondary sources; use the live in-game objective to confirm the current method.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rotten Pumpkin a real Roblox The Hollow reward?
Current Roblox catalog and badge trackers list Rotten Pumpkin as the Floor 8 reward. Roblox’s main newsroom announcement confirms the event’s UGC reward system but does not publish the individual Floor 8 steps, so verify the claim in the live hub.
Is the Helm of the Waning Moon free?
Community trackers list it as a ticket-shop item and report a 100-ticket price. Check the live shop before spending; a ticket-based item is not necessarily a no-cost reward.
Are Wings of Corrupted Jerry and Ofuda Survival Kit confirmed rewards?
Community trackers list them as related partner-game quest rewards, but detailed unlock steps are not confirmed in Roblox’s main announcement. Check the WARDEN and PETAPETA quest prompts directly.
What if the reward does not appear after completing Floor 8?
Wait for the in-game completion message, check the avatar inventory and badge separately, then rejoin once and inspect the quest state. If it still fails, save the error details and contact Roblox support through official channels.
When is the last day to collect The Hollow rewards?
Roblox says eligible rewards remain collectible until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2, 2026. The live finale is planned for October 31.
