How to Get the Search for the Needle Badge and Tickets in The Hollow Event Roblox

The Hollow Halloween 2026 event in Roblox features several challenges that reward players with event tickets. One of these activities is Search for the Needle, where you must search through a haystack, find four candles, light them, and defeat a boss to complete the challenge.

Unlike some of the shorter event tasks, this one takes more time because you need to collect all four candles before the final battle begins. However, the objectives are straightforward once you understand how the game works. Here is how to complete Search for the Needle and earn 20 tickets.

How to Start Search for the Needle

First, join Search for the Needle through Roblox and look for the event graveyard option in the main area. You need to create a session to begin the challenge, and you can choose to play alone or invite friends to join you.

Follow these steps to start:

1. Join Search for the Needle.
2. Find the Event Graveyard option.
3. Click the option and select Create.
4. Enter the event area and follow the tutorial.
5. Begin searching for the four candles required to complete the objective.

You can play with other players if you prefer to work together. In the source gameplay, the challenge was completed by a group of three players, although the total time still reached around 25 minutes.

How to Find All Four Candles

The first major objective is to locate four candles hidden inside the haystack. You can check the task tracker on the left side of your screen to see how many candles you have found and how many remain.

Search through the haystack carefully and keep collecting materials as you explore. Finding all four candles can take around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your progress and how quickly you search the area.

Do not expect to finish this part immediately. The challenge is designed around searching and collecting, so you will need to spend some time exploring before moving on to the next objective.

Upgrade Your Tools and Backpack

While searching for candles, remember that Search for the Needle includes an upgrade system. You can improve your tools to collect hay faster and increase your backpack capacity to carry more materials.

These upgrades can make the searching process more manageable, especially if you plan to spend a long time looking for the candles. Instead of focusing only on the main objective, check the available upgrades and see whether you can improve your equipment before continuing.

The game also provides a tutorial that explains the basic mechanics. If you are unfamiliar with how to collect materials or use the available tools, follow the instructions before progressing further.

Playing with friends may also make the activity more enjoyable, as everyone can participate in the search. However, the source gameplay does not confirm whether having additional players increases the speed of finding candles.

How to Light the Four Candles

After finding all four candles, your next objective is to light them. Make sure you have collected every candle before moving on, as the final encounter begins after the candle objective has been completed.

Once all four candles are lit, the game triggers a cutscene that introduces the boss. This marks the transition from the searching section to the final battle.

Pay attention to the event tracker as you progress. Completing the candle objective is necessary before you can face the boss and finish the challenge.

How to Defeat the Search for the Needle Boss

After lighting the final candle, a boss will appear and the battle will begin. Although the encounter includes a special cutscene, the fight itself is relatively straightforward according to the source gameplay.

Your main objective is to use the available items to damage the boss. Continue attacking and follow the instructions shown on the screen as the battle progresses.

There is one mechanic you should watch out for: the boss may capture your character during the encounter. If this happens, use the required keybinds to break free and continue fighting.

The boss fight takes around five minutes in the source gameplay. Keep using your available items and respond to the capture mechanic when it appears. Once the boss is defeated, you can complete the final part of the challenge.

How to Claim the 20 Free Tickets

After defeating the boss, return to the main hub area. The source gameplay shows the player receiving 20 tickets after completing the challenge.

These tickets can be used toward rewards available during The Hollow event. If you are collecting tickets from different Roblox experiences, Search for the Needle is another option to add to your progress.

Make sure the boss encounter has finished and check your ticket balance in the main hub. If the reward does not appear immediately, review the event interface to confirm that the challenge has registered as complete.

How Long Does the Challenge Take?

Search for the Needle is more time-consuming than some of the other Hollow event challenges. The source gameplay took approximately 25 minutes to complete the entire activity with three players.

The candle search accounted for around 15 to 20 minutes, while the boss fight took roughly another five minutes. Your actual completion time may vary depending on your searching speed, equipment upgrades, and familiarity with the game.

If you want to complete the challenge more efficiently, make use of the available tool and backpack upgrades. You should also follow the tutorial so you understand the collection mechanics before spending too much time searching.

To earn 20 tickets from Search for the Needle in The Hollow Roblox Halloween 2026 event, create a session through the Event Graveyard, search the haystack for four candles, and light them all to summon the boss.

Defeat the boss using your available items, and remember to break free with the required keybinds if it captures you. After completing the fight, return to the main hub to receive your tickets.

The challenge can take around 25 minutes, making it one of the more time-consuming activities. However, the combination of searching, equipment upgrades, and a final boss battle gives you a clear objective to work toward.
