To get the Rotting Pumpkin in The Hollow on Roblox, complete the Floor 8 item puzzle and bring its Relic back to the elevator. The Warden area's table holds five objects, each with a matching pedestal somewhere in the maze. You can carry only one object at a time, so learning the layout before making deliveries is your best preparation. Placing the fifth item earns the Relic, but you still need to reach the elevator without the anomaly catching you to secure the free UGC reward.

Where does the Floor 8 puzzle start?

Enter the elevator in The Hollow Hub and travel to Floor 8. Your first destination inside the maze is the Warden area, where a table holds the objects needed for the puzzle.

Floor 8 has a randomly generated layout, so there is no fixed sequence of turns to follow to the Warden area. Search the maze until you find it, then identify the table with the five objects. Finding that table gives you a starting point for every delivery.

Should you collect an item immediately?

Scout Floor 8 before committing to deliveries. Locate the pedestals and learn how to return to the Warden area. You will need to visit the table repeatedly because the puzzle only allows you to carry one object at a time.

Which five items do you need to place?

The Warden table contains these five puzzle objects:

  • Bell
  • Potion
  • Lantern
  • Skull
  • Candle

Each object belongs on its own matching pedestal somewhere on Floor 8. Pick up one, take it to its destination, and place it there. Then return to the Warden table for another object. Continue until all five have been delivered.

You can begin with any of the five objects. The choice matters less than knowing where that object's pedestal is, so use your scouting to decide which delivery to tackle first.

If you are collecting other rewards in The Hollow, keep the Witches Brew-nado UGC guide handy for your next puzzle. For Rotting Pumpkin, the Warden table and its five matching pedestals are your immediate objectives.

How should you plan the delivery run?

Treat the Warden table as your base for the Floor 8 puzzle. Before picking up an object, know which pedestal you are heading toward and how to find the table again afterward. The one-item carry limit makes repeated trips part of the task.

The most useful preparation is learning the maze, not choosing a particular item order. These decisions determine how much searching you have to do while carrying an object:

What should you do on each trip?

Use the same delivery routine throughout Floor 8:

  1. Pick up one object from the Warden table.
  2. Find that object's matching pedestal.
  3. Place the object on it.
  4. Return to the Warden table for the next object.

Repeat that loop until the fifth placement. At that point, your destination changes: you need to take the Floor 8 Relic to the elevator rather than return for another object.

What happens if the anomaly catches you?

The anomaly is the main threat during the Floor 8 puzzle. Getting caught sends you back to the elevator and forces you to restart the attempt. That danger also applies after you have earned the Relic, so the final trip still matters.

Stay in The Hollow if you need another attempt. Restarting at the elevator keeps the same maze, allowing you to use what you learned about the Warden area and pedestal locations. A failed delivery does not have to waste your knowledge of the layout.

How do you claim the Rotting Pumpkin?

Placing the fifth object on its matching pedestal earns the Floor 8 Relic. Bring that Relic back to the elevator without being caught. Reaching the elevator with it completes the run and awards the Rotting Pumpkin.

Once the Rotting Pumpkin is secured, the Hollow Skull guide gives you another reward objective to work toward in The Hollow Hub.

What should you check before another attempt?

Before picking up the first Warden object, check that you know the table's location, the five pedestal destinations, and the way back to the elevator. Floor 8 asks you to make several deliveries through the same maze, so that preparation supports the whole attempt.

Keep the finish condition clear: five matching placements earn the Relic, and returning it to the elevator earns the Rotting Pumpkin. If the anomaly catches you, remain in The Hollow and retry with the same layout.
