The Hollow Halloween event in Survive Overnight in a Mega Store challenges players to find 18 Candies scattered throughout the store and use them to prepare a special brew. Although the objective sounds simple, finding enough Candies can take time, especially when dangerous employees start hunting you after dark.
Completing this challenge rewards you with 20 Halloween Tickets and the Hollow – A Tasty Brew Badge. This guide explains how to start the event, where to find Pumpkin Chests and Candies, and how to survive long enough to finish the quest.
How to Start the Hollow Event in Survive Overnight in a Mega Store
To access the Hollow event, launch Survive Overnight in a Mega Store through its Roblox game page. Once you enter the experience, join the main lobby by walking through any available portal. You can then begin exploring the store and searching for the items required by the Halloween quest.
Your main objective is to collect six Candies from each of the three available variants, giving you 18 Candies in total. Once you have gathered everything, return to the Cauldron near the store entrance and interact with it to stir the ingredients. The Candy Count displayed above the Cauldron helps you track your progress as you collect the required items.
How to Get Candies in Survive Overnight in a Mega Store
The primary method of collecting Candies is by opening Pumpkin Chests scattered around the store. However, these chests can only be opened at night, meaning you should use the daytime to locate them before returning when darkness falls. Planning your route ahead of time will help you gather more Candies without wasting time searching unfamiliar areas.
There are several places where Pumpkin Chests commonly appear. Start by checking the following locations and remember their positions so you can return to them during the night. You can also search coffins in the cemetery to find additional Candies without relying entirely on Pumpkin Chests.
1. Weapons Purchase Area
One of the easiest Pumpkin Chest locations to remember is the Weapons Purchase area. Starting from the Cauldron near the entrance, walk straight ahead and turn left to reach the weapon section. You can find a Pumpkin Chest inside this area, making it a useful stop during your initial exploration.
Since you will also need a weapon to protect yourself later, checking this location gives you an opportunity to prepare for combat while remembering where the chest spawns. Locate the chest during the day, then return after nightfall to open it and collect any Candies inside.
2. Center Corridor
Another common Pumpkin Chest spawn is located along the central corridor that stretches from the northern side of the map to the southern side. Look along the walls around the middle section of this passage, as the chest can appear on either the left or right wall.
This location is worth checking whenever you travel between different sections of the store. Instead of repeatedly crossing the map without a purpose, include the center corridor in your regular route. Once you identify the chest’s position, you can return to it when the nighttime cycle begins and continue collecting Candies.
3. Graveyard or Cemetery
The cemetery at the back of the map is another important location for farming Halloween Candies. Head toward the rear section of the store and search the middle of the graveyard for a Pumpkin Chest. This is one of the main places you should remember when planning your collection route.
While exploring the cemetery, do not limit yourself to checking the Pumpkin Chest. Interact with the coffins scattered around the area, as they can contain Candies or reveal hidden rooms with additional Pumpkin Chests. Searching these containers can help you collect more items and reduce the amount of time spent waiting for nighttime.
4. Search Coffins for Extra Candies
Coffins provide another way to obtain Candies while exploring the cemetery. Unlike Pumpkin Chests, which can only be opened at night, coffins can be searched during the day. This makes them useful when you want to make progress before the dangerous nighttime phase begins.
To search a coffin, interact with it to remove the lid and move it aside. You can then access the contents inside. Some coffins contain Candies directly, while others may lead to secret rooms containing one or more Pumpkin Chests.
Make sure to check as many coffins as possible whenever you visit the cemetery. Finding extra Candies during the daytime means you will have fewer items left to collect at night, giving you more time to focus on staying alive.
5. Defeating Employees
You can also attempt to obtain Candies by defeating employees throughout the store. However, this method is less reliable because enemies can gather into groups and become difficult to handle, particularly when you are playing without sufficient equipment.
There is also no guarantee that an employee will drop Candies after being defeated. For this reason, fighting enemies solely to farm Candy is generally less efficient than searching Pumpkin Chests and coffins. Only engage employees when necessary or when you have a suitable weapon and enough resources to defend yourself.
How to Survive Overnight in a Mega Store While Collecting Candies
Collecting all 18 Candies is only part of the challenge. You must also survive the enemies that become dangerous at night, when Pumpkin Chests become available for opening. Entering the nighttime phase without a weapon or enough stamina can make it difficult to finish the quest, so use the daytime to prepare.
Before darkness arrives, gather supplies, learn the map layout, and identify the locations of nearby chests. You should also make sure you have enough food and water to maintain your energy while moving around the store. A prepared player can spend more time searching for Candies instead of constantly escaping enemies.
Get a Weapon Before Nightfall
Purchase a weapon as early as possible to protect yourself against hostile employees. The Katana is one option to consider, as it allows you to fight back when enemies approach during your search. Having a weapon is particularly useful if you need to open several Pumpkin Chests in different parts of the store.
However, avoid fighting every enemy you encounter. Employees can quickly form groups, making prolonged combat dangerous when you are surrounded. Use your weapon when you need to defend yourself, and prioritize reaching your next objective rather than engaging in unnecessary battles.
Keep Your Energy and Stamina Up
Food and drinks are important resources when you are trying to survive overnight. Collect and consume supplies you find while exploring the store to maintain your energy and stamina. These resources help you move around the map and escape enemies that begin chasing you.
Pay attention to your available stamina before entering areas where enemies might appear. Running away can be more practical than fighting when your health or equipment is limited. Managing your supplies properly will also help you avoid becoming trapped while trying to reach a Pumpkin Chest.
Avoid Taking Unnecessary Damage
Health does not recover instantly in Survive Overnight in a Mega Store. Instead, it regenerates gradually over time when you avoid taking further damage. This means that repeatedly engaging enemies can leave you vulnerable, even if you manage to escape each encounter.
If your health becomes low, focus on avoiding combat and creating enough distance from nearby enemies to recover. Use familiar routes to return to safer areas and avoid getting surrounded. Staying alive is more important than collecting one additional Candy if doing so puts your entire run at risk.
How to Get 20 Halloween Tickets and the Hollow – A Tasty Brew Badge
After collecting all 18 Candies, return to the Cauldron positioned near the store entrance. Check the Candy Count above it to make sure you have gathered the required amount, including six Candies from each of the three variants.
Interact with the Cauldron and stir the collected Candies to complete the Hollow Halloween quest. Once the process is finished, you will receive the following rewards:
- 20 Halloween Tickets.
- Hollow – A Tasty Brew Badge.
The Halloween Tickets can be used to obtain available rewards through The Hollow event, while the badge records your completion of the scavenger challenge. Make sure you have collected all three Candy variants before returning to the Cauldron, as reaching 18 Candies without meeting the variant requirements may leave your objective incomplete.
The Hollow event in Survive Overnight in a Mega Store requires you to collect 18 Candies, with six needed from each of the three variants. Pumpkin Chests are your primary source, so search the Weapons Purchase area, central corridor, and cemetery during the day before opening the chests at night.
You can also search cemetery coffins for extra Candies and hidden rooms, helping you make progress before enemies become more dangerous. Prepare a weapon, maintain your energy and stamina, and avoid unnecessary combat while collecting the remaining items. Once all 18 Candies have been gathered and stirred in the Cauldron, you will receive 20 Halloween Tickets and the Hollow – A Tasty Brew Badge.
