I jumped into BEAR (Alpha) the moment its Hollow quest went live on October 31 at 00:00 GMT, and it turned out to be the perfect finale for Roblox’s The Hollow Halloween event. This is the last Roaming The Hollow partner quest of 2026, and it pays out one of the best free items of the entire event: the Bear Plush Backpack UGC. In this guide I’ll walk you through every step I took — finding the hidden teddy bear, solving all four trophy puzzles, escaping the Distorted Bear, and claiming the backpack on Floor 9 — before the event closes on November 2, 2026 at 12 PM PST. Once that deadline passes, the claim and your unspent Tickets are gone for good.

What You Need Before Starting?
The entry requirements are light: a Roblox account with BEAR (Alpha) installed, roughly 30–45 minutes, and one full round survived as a Survivor. Everything here is completely free — the backpack costs 0 Robux, and no game passes or purchases are needed at any point.
Step 1: Find the Hidden Teddy Bear in a Regular Match
Join a normal BEAR match as a Survivor and hunt for a hidden teddy bear. It spawns in random spots — corners, side rooms, and other easy-to-miss places — so sweep every room carefully while the regular Bear stalks you. Pick the teddy up, keep it with you, and survive until the round ends. If the Bear catches you, your progress resets and you’ll search again in your next attempt. My advice: hug the walls, learn your favorite map’s hiding spots, and never charge into open rooms blind.
Step 2: Enter the Secret Hollow Map
After surviving a full round with the teddy bear, open the quest menu, click the Hollow button, and select Sleep. That teleports you into the secret version of The Hollow — a distorted, dreamlike map where the four trophy puzzles begin.
Step 3: Solve All Four Trophy Puzzles
The secret map hides four trophies, one per puzzle area. Place each trophy on its pedestal to progress, and don’t skip a single one — the escape sequence only starts after all four are placed.
| Trophy | Puzzle Area | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | Room with paintings | Click each painting to rotate it until every one matches the correct positions |
| Orange | Eye symbol on the floor | Stand on the eye to reveal a symbol combination (mine was O, Pu, Pi, Pu — it varies per attempt), then enter it |
| Purple | Room with hidden cheese | Search the surrounding rooms and corners, grab the cheese, and bring it to the designated spot |
| Green | Room with tape and a TV | Find the hidden tape, play it on the television, memorize the shape sequence, then re-enter it when prompted |
None of these puzzles are difficult, but the cheese and the tape change spawn locations between runs, so check every corner twice before moving on.
Step 4: Escape the Distorted Bear
Place the fourth trophy and a glitchy cutscene triggers — the Distorted Bear is now chasing you through the collapsing map. Run immediately and create distance, then follow the pink leaves scattered on the ground; they mark the safe route to the exit. Dodge the holes appearing along the path and pace your stamina instead of holding sprint the entire way. Getting caught or falling into a hole restarts the escape segment, but your placed trophies stay safe. Reaching the exit awards the “NO REST FOR ‘WICKED” badge.
Step 5: Claim the Bear Plush Backpack on Floor 9
With the BEAR challenge complete, return to The Hollow event hub and ride the elevator down to Floor 9. Explore the Floor 9 maze until you find the hidden secret room — the layout reshuffles between runs, so sweep dead ends patiently. Inside, the Bear Plush Backpack waits on a pedestal. Press E to claim it and you’ll receive three rewards at once: the Bear Plush Backpack UGC, an event badge, and 10 Hollow Tickets. Don’t sit on those Tickets — unspent Tickets vanish when the event ends, so spend them at the Little Shop of Terror in the hub right away.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dying while carrying the teddy bear — it resets the whole unlock process, so play defensively during the search.
- Burning all your stamina early in the Distorted Bear escape and getting caught near a hole.
- Leaving a trophy off its pedestal — all four must be placed before the cutscene starts.
- Waiting too long to claim — the hub closes November 2, 2026 at 12 PM PST.
- Hoarding Tickets instead of buying the Flashlight (20 Tickets) or Radar Detector (80 Tickets) that make the later mazes far easier.
FAQs
What rewards do you get for completing The Hollow quest in BEAR?
Three rewards: the Bear Plush Backpack UGC (a free back accessory), an event badge, and 10 Hollow Tickets. The badge can also be redeemed for extra Tickets at the hub’s REDEEM BADGES panel.
How do you unlock the secret Hollow map in BEAR?
Find the hidden teddy bear in a regular match as a Survivor, keep it, and survive until the round ends. Then open the quest menu, click the Hollow button, and select Sleep to teleport to the secret map.
How do I escape the Distorted Bear?
Follow the pink leaves on the ground, avoid every hole, and pace your stamina. If you get caught or fall, you restart the escape segment only — your trophies and progress stay intact.
When does The Hollow event end?
The event closes on November 2, 2026 at 12 PM PST. After that, the Bear Plush Backpack claim and all unspent Tickets disappear, so complete the quest now.
Can I complete the BEAR Hollow quest in a private server?
Some partner quests don’t progress in private servers, so I recommend a public server for the teddy bear match. The trophy puzzles and the Floor 9 claim behave the same once you’re inside the event.
