Night 8 of The Hollow might be the toughest maze Roblox’s Halloween event has thrown at us yet. I just ran Floor 8, and unlike earlier floors, this puzzle spans the entire map — you’ll be dodging The Overseer from Warden while hauling five different objects across the maze one at a time. The payoff is worth it, though: a free Rotten Pumpkin UGC head accessory and its matching badge, both claimable until November 2, 2026. In this guide, I’ll show you how to find the Warden Puzzle Room, match every object to its pedestal, and escape with your rewards intact.
To beat the Floor 8 puzzle in The Hollow, take the hub elevator to Floor 8, find the Warden Puzzle Room, carry the Candle, Skull, Bottle, Lantern, and Bell one at a time to their glowing blue pedestals, then bring the Floor 8 Relic back to the elevator without getting caught by The Overseer.

What Is the Floor 8 Puzzle in The Hollow?
The Hollow is Roblox’s platform-wide Halloween survival event, running from November 22 through November 2, 2026, with a new maze floor and monster unlocking each night. Floor 8 went live on Night 8, and its puzzle works differently from the compact room challenges on earlier floors: the Warden Puzzle Room spawns in a random location, the pedestals are scattered across the whole maze, and The Overseer never stops hunting you between deliveries.
The good news? This is very doable. Roblox’s badge stats showed over 230,000 players had already earned the Rotten Pumpkin badge by late November 29 — roughly a day after the floor opened. Just remember that if The Overseer catches you, your Floor 8 progress resets entirely, so patience beats speed here. If you’re new to the event, my The Hollow event hub guide breaks down every night, monster, and UGC drop so far.
Where to Find the Warden Puzzle Room on Floor 8?
The Puzzle Room’s location is randomized every run, so don’t expect yesterday’s route to work. Here’s how I found it quickly on mine:
- Hug the right wall. Like every relic room so far, the Puzzle Room has consistently sat on the right side of the maze. Take every right turn that isn’t a dead end.
- Look for the purple tint. The room has a distinct purple glow, and the five objects sit on a table just before the bridge inside it.
- Spot the glowing pedestals. Bright blue-glowing pedestals are scattered around the maze — those are your delivery points, and they help you map the floor mentally.
- Memorize the elevator. Note where you entered before wandering off. Your final walk back matters more than anything else on this floor.
How to Solve the Floor 8 Puzzle Step by Step?
Step 1: Collect the Five Objects
Inside the Warden Puzzle Room, find the table just before the bridge. It holds all five objects you need: the Candle, Skull, Bottle, Lantern, and Bell. Before leaving, fix the room’s position in your head — you’ll return to this exact table after every single delivery.
Step 2: Carry One Object at a Time
You can only hold one object, so this puzzle is really five separate round trips. Check which pedestal is closest to the room and grab that object first. On my run, the Lantern’s pedestal was right next door, so I started there and used the short trip to learn the maze layout before attempting longer walks.
Step 3: Match Each Object to Its Pedestal
Each pedestal accepts exactly one object, and the correct one shows an outline of that object floating above it — you can’t misplace anything if you glance up first. Walk into the pedestal to place the object, then head straight back to the Puzzle Room for the next one. One relief: the objects and pedestals don’t change positions as long as you finish the floor on the same day, so a failed attempt doesn’t scramble what you’ve learned.
Step 4: Return to the Elevator With the Relic
Place all five objects and the Floor 8 Relic spawns automatically. Now comes the part where most runs fall apart: the escape. Carry the relic back to the elevator while avoiding The Overseer — if it catches you, the floor resets and you’ll redo every delivery. Reach the elevator safely and the Rotten Pumpkin UGC (a Head Accessory) plus the Rotten Pumpkin badge unlock instantly. Don’t rush this final walk; surviving it is the whole game.

Pro Tips to Dodge The Overseer on Floor 8
The Overseer is a relentless chaser, and Floor 8’s five-trip format gives it far more chances to corner you than earlier floors. What worked for me:
- Plan a loop, not a sprint. Before grabbing an object, picture the route: table → pedestal → table. Blind sprinting into dead ends is how you lose the gap between you and the monster.
- Break line of sight. The Overseer presses hard when it sees you; ducking around corners and pausing briefly usually shakes the chase faster than running in a straight line.
- Wait out the final walk. After placing the fifth object, let The Overseer drift away from your elevator route before moving — a ten-second pause beats redoing the floor.
- Stack the second Night 8 quest. Day 8 also features the Warden mission in Sonaria Horror Escape, which rewards the Wings of Corrupted Jerry — a separate UGC worth grabbing the same session.
FAQs
Who is the monster on Floor 8 in The Hollow?
The Overseer, the Warden entity from the game Warden, chases you through the Floor 8 maze. It’s the Night 8 monster of the event.
Can you carry all five objects at once in The Hollow?
No. You can only carry one object at a time, so the puzzle takes five round trips between the Puzzle Room and the pedestals.
What happens if The Overseer catches you on Floor 8?
Your Floor 8 progress resets and you start the puzzle over from the first object, so keep your distance and never sprint blindly.
When does the Rotten Pumpkin UGC expire?
Event rewards must be claimed before November 2, 2026, at 12 p.m. PST, so finish Floor 8 and reach the elevator before then.
What do you get for completing Floor 8 in The Hollow?
You earn the Floor 8 Relic, the free Rotten Pumpkin UGC Head Accessory, and the Rotten Pumpkin badge for your Roblox profile.
