The Hollow event turned Survive the Killer into one of the fastest free-UGC farms on Roblox, and I’ve cleared the full questline so you don’t have to guess. To get the Killer’s Knife Aura UGC, play three rounds on the Happy Neighborhood map, collect one quest item per round (Flotsam’s Guitar, Siren Head’s Keys, and Malvus’ Drumsticks), and hand each one to its band NPC on the lobby stage. Then ride The Hollow hub elevator to Floor 7, find the secret Survive the Killer room inside the maze, and interact with the aura on the pedestal. You’ll also bank a badge and 10 Hollow Tickets. Here’s every location, step, and shortcut I used.

How to Start the Killer’s Knife Aura Quest in The Hollow
The quest starts in The Hollow hub — Roblox’s platform-wide Halloween takeover — not on the Survive the Killer game page. Spawn into the hub, walk into the movie theatre, and press E on the elevator at the back. Select Floor 7, then sweep the dark corridors until you find the secret Survive the Killer room. The floor layout reshuffles every run, so check dead ends patiently. If you’ve chased the Day 6 Animal Hospital puzzle item, this sweep will feel familiar.
Already inside Survive the Killer? Skip the hub trip entirely: click the Hollow icon at the bottom of your screen (left of the backpack icon) to jump straight to the event area in the lobby.
Either way, you’ll spawn in a special event lobby with a stage. Talk to all three band NPCs — Siren Head, Malvus, and Rock-Em Flotsam. Each asks you to recover a lost instrument, and every item spawns only on the Happy Neighborhood map, so vote for it in every single round.
All 3 Quest Item Locations in the Happy Neighborhood Map
You can only carry one quest item at a time, so plan on three separate rounds: grab an item, stay until the round ends, return to the lobby stage, and hand it to the right NPC before queuing again.
| Quest Item | Where It Spawns | Deliver To |
|---|---|---|
| Flotsam’s Guitar | Concert stage, beside the hay stacks | Rock-Em Flotsam |
| Siren Head’s Keys | Inside the red car, straight across from the stage | Siren Head |
| Malvus’ Drumsticks | Blue house, second floor, next to the couch | Malvus |
1. Flotsam’s Guitar
When the round starts, beeline to the outdoor concert stage — the Guitar rests right beside the stacks of hay, glowing and easy to spot. Walk over it to pick it up, then survive the round and escape the map. Back in the lobby, take it to Rock-Em Flotsam on the stage and hand it over before touching any other item.
2. Siren Head’s Keys
Stand where you grabbed the Guitar and look straight across the street: the red car is parked right there. Jump into it and you’ll find Siren Head’s Keys waiting inside. Survive the round, escape, and deliver the keys to Siren Head in the lobby to lock in delivery number two.
3. Malvus’ Drumsticks
The trickiest of the three. From the red car, follow the road until a blue car appears on your right — the blue house just past it is your target. Go inside, climb to the second floor, and grab the Drumsticks off the floor next to the couch. Hand them to Malvus, and the Survive the Killer badge pops the moment the final item lands.
How to Claim the Killer’s Knife Aura UGC on Floor 7?
With the badge secured, the final step is a simple pedestal claim back in the hub:
- Finish all three instrument deliveries and earn the badge.
- Return to The Hollow hub and take the theatre elevator to Floor 7.
- Buy the Flashlight (20 Tickets) or Night Vision Goggles (40 Tickets) at the concessions stand first — the maze is pitch black and the room reshuffles each run.
- Navigate to the secret Survive the Killer room and step inside.
- Interact with the Killer’s Knife Aura floating over the pedestal to claim it, then check your Roblox inventory — the UGC accessory and 10 Hollow Tickets land instantly.
Unlike the daily maze floors, you don’t need to carry a Relic back to the elevator. Once the badge is yours, the aura is a guaranteed grab. The pedestal flow works exactly like the Floor 6 claim in my Banana Eats Lolwen guide, so nothing here should trip you up.
All Killer’s Knife Aura Quest Rewards
| Reward | How You Unlock It |
|---|---|
| Killer’s Knife Aura UGC | Pedestal claim in the Floor 7 secret room |
| Survive the Killer event badge | Deliver all three instruments to the band |
| 10 Hollow Tickets | Same pedestal claim |
Spend your Tickets at the hub’s concessions stand before the event closes — unclaimed Tickets vanish the moment The Hollow wraps up.
Pro Tips to Finish the Quest Faster
- Don’t rage-quit after dying. As long as you stay in the server until the round officially ends, the item stays yours — leaving early is what voids it.
- Use the killer as a shortcut. If you’re impatient, let the killer take you out near the end of a run; you’ll respawn in the lobby ready to deliver.
- Escape first, explore later. Item in hand? Prioritize surviving to the end of the round over sightseeing, or you’ll burn 15 minutes for nothing.
- Vote Happy Neighborhood every time. I learned this the hard way — on any other map, the three items simply don’t spawn.
- Grind Tickets between rounds. Partner quests like the 99 Nights in the Forest Hollow quest and the Dress to Impress Veil of Darkness run pay extra Tickets for the gadgets above.
FAQs
Where do I start the Survive the Killer quest in The Hollow?
Take the hub theatre elevator to Floor 7 and enter the secret Survive the Killer room — the portal inside drops you into the event lobby. Then talk to the three band NPCs on the stage to receive the item quests.
Can I collect all three quest items in a single match?
No. The game only lets you carry one quest item at a time, so you’ll need three separate rounds on the Happy Neighborhood map — one delivery per round.
Do I lose the quest item if the killer kills me?
No, dying doesn’t wipe the item as long as you stay in the match until the round ends. Quitting early or disconnecting is what resets your progress.
How do I claim the Killer’s Knife Aura UGC after earning the badge?
Return to The Hollow hub, ride the elevator to Floor 7, and find the Survive the Killer room in the maze. Interact with the aura on the pedestal to add the UGC and 10 Tickets to your account.
When does The Hollow event end in 2026?
The hub closes on November 2, 2026 at 12 PM PST, so finish the quest and spend your Tickets before then — none of the rewards carry over afterward.
