To get the Killer’s Knife Aura in Roblox’s HOLLOW event, play Survive the Killer, return Rock-em’ Flotsam’s guitar, Malvus’ drumsticks and Siren Head’s keys to their owners in the lobby, then claim the item from a secret room on Floor 7 of the hub. You have until November 2, 2026 to finish it. Each item needs its own successful round, so plan on three escapes, not one.

How the quest works
HOLLOW is a platform-wide Roblox Halloween event that started on October 22, 2026. Partner games hand out free avatar items, and each one is a one-time claim per player. Survive the Killer, built by Slyce Entertainment, offers the Killer’s Knife Aura.
The quest has three parts. First, you talk to three NPCs on the lobby stage: Rock-em’ Flotsam, Malvus and Siren Head. Some guides spell the first name Floatsam, so you may see both. Second, you find each NPC’s missing belonging on the Happy Neighborhood map. Third, you survive the round, escape, and hand the item over in the lobby.
Where to find each item
The three items sit close together on the Happy Neighborhood map:
| Item | Give it to | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Flotsam’s Guitar | Rock-em’ Flotsam | The central stage |
| Malvus’ Drumsticks | Malvus | The second floor of the blue house |
| Siren Head’s Keys | Siren Head | The red car near the blue house |
A few details help:
- The keys: Siren Head says they are locked inside, but guides say you reach them by getting on or into the car. One guide describes searching the back or trunk, and another points to a pickup message that reads Object picked up: Siren Head’s Keys.
- The drumsticks: go inside the blue house and head upstairs.
- The guitar: it waits on the main stage, and you need to grab it again for each attempt if you lose it.
The red car and the blue house stand near each other, so you can plan a short route for the keys and the drumsticks.
Step-by-step: finishing the quest
- Start in the hub. Open HOLLOW and find the Survive the Killer portal inside the theater. The wiki also places a Survive the Killer portal in a secret room on Floor 7.
- Join the lobby. Speak with Rock-em’ Flotsam, Siren Head and Malvus on the stage to receive all three requests.
- Queue a round. The map is Happy Neighborhood.
- Grab one item. Pick the guitar, the keys or the drumsticks.
- Survive and escape. The item only counts if you leave the map alive.
- Hand it over. Return to the lobby stage and give the item to its owner.
- Repeat for the other two items.
The guides agree that the three handovers happen one at a time, each after its own successful round. The sources do not say whether the order matters, and one guide shows the keys going first. Start with whichever item is closest to your spawn.
The badge arrives as soon as you finish the final handover.
How to claim the Killer’s Knife Aura
The badge alone does not give you the item. After you earn it, claim the UGC like this:
- Go back to the HOLLOW hub.
- Take the elevator to Floor 7.
- Find the secret Survive the Killer room inside the maze.
- Interact with the item display on the pedestal.
That claim gives you the Killer’s Knife Aura and, according to TechWiser, 10 Hollow Tickets. Other guides say the badge pays the Tickets instead, so the sources differ on where the 10 Tickets come from.
Some searches mention a campsite barrel. No guide I checked uses that term, and the sources all point to the Floor 7 pedestal.
Rewards and the deadline
| Reward | Detail |
|---|---|
| Killer’s Knife Aura UGC | Claimed once per player |
| The Hollow badge | Earned after the final handover |
| 10 Tickets | Event currency for the shop |
Tickets spend at the event’s shop, and free quest items do not cost Tickets. Roblox has not posted a shop price for this item.
The event runs until November 2, 2026. A community tracker lists the cutoff as noon PST, which is 20:00 UTC and 3:00 PM Eastern, but that time is unofficial. Finish the quest before then, and do not wait for the last morning, because three rounds take time.
Common mistakes
Skipping the escape. Surviving the round and leaving the map is what makes the item count.
Carrying two items at once. Guides describe one item per round.
Returning to the wrong NPC. The guitar goes to Flotsam, the drumsticks to Malvus and the keys to Siren Head.
Forgetting the claim. Earning the badge does not add the Aura to your inventory.
Missing the Floor 7 secret room. It sits in the hub’s maze, not in the lobby.

Source notes
Roblox has confirmed the badge and the item name, and most details come from guides that agree with each other: the stage, the red car and the blue house. A few points vary, including the exact Tickets source and the spelling of Flotsam. If a step does not match your game, trust what you see on screen.
