The Hollow quest in Piggy is a hidden ritual on the Forest map. It pulls your whole server out of a normal round, through a void full of floating islands, and into a boss arena where symbol puzzles drive the fight forward. None of it is hard on its own. The difficulty comes from doing it while Piggy, infected monsters, and an arena full of crystal eruptions all try to end your run.

Quick answer: Place the green candle in the purple ritual circle beside the blue and red candles, enter the portal, cross the void to the corrupted gate, then use planks to reach the ring puzzles and set each combination with E.

Hollow quest stages in Piggy

The quest runs as one continuous chain. Each stage has a clear on-screen signal that it worked, so you always know when to move on.

StageWhereYour jobSign it worked
Candle ritualForest mapDeliver the green candleLight pillars, +20XP
PortalForest mapStep into the vortex“FIND ME… JOIN US…”
Void islandsThe voidCross chains and symbol islandsGate cutscene
Boss arenaCircular arenaPlanks, ramps, ring puzzlesFire vortex overhead

Two keys matter throughout. The HUD shows F for sprint and Ctrl for crawl, and you’ll lean on both to break line of sight with anything chasing you.

Forest map: find the green candle and open the portal

Start the round on the Forest map. You spawn near the campfire, and the surrounding woods are dark, so move slowly and scan the ground as you leave camp.

Behind a tree trunk, a green candle rests on the red ground. Its glow stands out against the dark floor, making it easier to see. Pick it up.
Carry the candle toward the gazebo and brick path. Expect the “Piggy has woken up!” alert around this point, followed by infected pumpkin-headed and masked characters giving chase. Crawl behind cover with Ctrl when they close in, and sprint only when you have a clear path.

Bring the candle to the purple pentagram-style ritual circle on the ground and place it on its spot next to the blue and red candles. When all three candles send up vertical beams of light, the ritual is complete and you’ll see +20XP pop up.
Wait for the swirling purple portal to open in the forest, then walk into it. This moves you out of the Forest map and into the void.

Void islands: chains, symbols, and the corrupted gate

The void is a purple landscape of floating obsidian islands, giant orange eyes, and hanging chains. Text reading “FIND ME… JOIN US…” appears the moment you arrive.

Walk across the giant floating chain links that connect the islands. Falling into the abyss isn’t the end of your run. A ring of black-and-orange eye orbs plays a short respawn animation and drops you back on solid ground.
Work your way across the obsidian platforms marked with symbols. Each one has a Sun, Crescent Moon, Star, or Eye etched into its center, with colored crystals hovering nearby. You’ll also find an E Tentacles prompt on the islands, so interact with tentacles when the prompt appears.

Head up the stone steps toward the large double door, where black tentacles coil beneath a glowing orange eye. When you arrive, the tentacles withdraw and the gate flies open in white-purple light. A voice calls you by your username: “AT LAST, WE WILL FINALLY MEET…”

Boss arena: planks, ring puzzles, and fire vortexes

The gate opens onto a broad, round dirt arena, with twisted trees at its perimeter, floating eyes overhead, and purple crystal spikes jutting from cracks in the ground. An on-screen countdown stays active for the entire encounter, so each climb up a ramp uses time.

First ring puzzle

Get your bearings and dodge the first attacks. Pink-red lines streak across the floor and then erupt into walls of purple crystal, so step off any line before it detonates.

Stand at the cylindrical stone puzzle and press E on the “E Turn” prompt to rotate each ring. The rings are labeled Ring 1, Ring 2, and Ring 3, and each cycles through the Moon, Sun, Star, and Eye symbols.

Set all three rings to the correct combination. A fiery red-and-orange vortex opens above the arena when you get it right, raining meteors and shockwaves into the ground. That vortex is your confirmation the puzzle registered, and the boss responds with “DO NOT RESIST… YOU ARE SPECIAL…”

Planks and the second ring puzzle

Drop back down and collect broken planks from the arena floor. They lie near the tentacle pits, and walking up to one shows an E Plank or “Broken Plank” prompt.

Lay the planks down to bridge gaps and build ramps to the higher outcrops. Then climb the next plank ramp to the second cylindrical ring puzzle.

Turn the three rings again with E. More than one player can work the dials at once, which speeds this up. A Crescent Moon, Star, and Eye combination is one example of a solved setup.

Confirm the second fire vortex erupts over the arena. The boss follows up with “YOU CANNOT ESCAPE ME… YOU NEED ME… YOU CAN BE SAVED…”, and the floor gets more crowded from here.

Hollow arena hazards and how to avoid them

Every attack in the arena is telegraphed. Learn the warning for each one and most of the fight becomes a matter of moving early.

HazardWarning signWhat to do
Crystal wallsThin red lines on the floorStep off the line
Crystal eruptionsFlashing red circlesLeave the circle
Fire vortexSwirling portal overheadWatch for falling rocks
Shadow entitiesSpawn across the floorSprint or gain height

The creatures include a Shadow Doggy carrying a lantern, tentacles crawling out of purple sludge pits, and striped neon ghost figures. A white exclamation triangle above your head means something has locked onto you.

The elevated pillar platforms reached by plank ramps sit above most of the ground chaos. Retreating up one buys time when spires, tentacles, and crawling creatures flood the floor below.

Finish all the stages before the timer reaches zero to complete the quest.
