The Hollow Event 2026 in Roblox has another challenge that rewards players with a special badge and an item. This time, you need to play AOONI and complete the Nightmare challenge by collecting 50 pumpkins.
The main task is simple, but finding all the pumpkins can take some time because they spawn randomly throughout the map. You also need to avoid the monster while exploring the classrooms. Here is how to complete the challenge and claim your reward.
How to Complete the AOONI Nightmare Challenge
1. Join AOONI and Enter Nightmare Mode
First, open AOONI on Roblox and join a match. Make sure you select the Nightmare challenge. Depending on the available options, the mode may appear as Nightmare Easy or another Nightmare difficulty option.
Once you enter the match, you may need to watch the opening cutscenes before you can start exploring.
2. Collect 50 Pumpkins
Your main objective is to collect 50 pumpkins scattered around the map. These pumpkins glow, making them easier to notice when you get close to them. However, their spawn locations are random, and they may not appear immediately. Search the classrooms and explore every room you can access. The area also has two floors, so make sure you check both levels.
Keep these tips in mind while searching:
- Look around classrooms and check different rooms.
- Explore both floors instead of staying in one area.
- Collect every glowing pumpkin you find.
- If no pumpkins appear, continue playing and complete the current objectives.
- Watch out for the monster while searching.
The pumpkins can be difficult to find at first, so do not worry if you spend some time exploring without finding any.
3. Continue Playing If You Cannot Find More Pumpkins
You do not need to find all 50 pumpkins in one area. If you have searched the available rooms and cannot find any more, continue completing the game’s objectives to progress to the next level.
More pumpkins can appear as you keep playing. During the boss encounter, additional pumpkins may spawn near the beginning of the fight, giving you another chance to collect the remaining ones.
Your pumpkin progress also carries over if you die or leave the game, according to the recorded gameplay. This means you can return later and continue working toward the 50-pumpkin goal instead of starting from zero.
4. Earn the Halloween 2026 Badge
Once you collect all 50 pumpkins, the Halloween 2026 badge should unlock automatically.
Check your progress on the right side of the screen while playing so you know how many pumpkins you still need. If you are close to the target, continue exploring and look for additional pumpkins during the next stage or boss encounter.
After earning the badge, you can return to The Hollow Hub to claim the event item.
How to Claim the AOONI Item in The Hollow Hub
Getting the badge is only the first part of the challenge. You must also locate the AOONI reward room inside The Hollow Hub. Follow these steps:
- Return to The Hollow Hub after unlocking the badge.
- Enter the building that contains the elevator.
- Use the elevator and select Floor 2.
- Once you reach the second floor, explore the area and look for a room marked with a blue outline.
- Look for the curtain area and move through it to find the AOONI item.
- Approach the item to claim your reward.
The reward room can be a little confusing to locate because several event items are placed on the same floor. Make sure you check the room near the curtain instead of accidentally entering a different event’s reward area. A monster may also chase you while you search, so keep moving and pay attention to your surroundings.
Tips for Getting the AOONI Item Faster
If you want to finish the challenge without wasting too much time, use these tips:
- Search every classroom: Pumpkins can spawn in different rooms, so avoid checking only one location.
- Remember the second floor: Some pumpkins may be easier to find after exploring the upper level.
- Keep progressing: If pumpkins stop appearing, complete the objectives and move to the next stage.
- Check the boss area: More pumpkins can appear near the start of a boss encounter.
- Track your total: Keep an eye on the pumpkin counter so you know when you have collected all 50.
- Explore Floor 2 carefully: After earning the badge, look for the blue-outlined room near the curtain to claim the item.
To get the AOONI Nightmare item and badge in The Hollow Event Roblox, enter Nightmare mode, collect 50 pumpkins, and finish the challenge. The pumpkins spawn randomly, so explore the classrooms, check both floors, and continue progressing if you cannot find more.
Once the Halloween 2026 badge unlocks, return to The Hollow Hub, take the elevator to Floor 2, and search for the blue-outlined reward room near the curtain. Find the AOONI item there to complete the event challenge.
