To get The Hollow Survive the Killer Badge, you’ll have to:
- Find and return Flotsam’s Guitar.
- Find and return Malvus’ Drumsticks.
- Find and return Siren Head’s Keys.
You must play the Happy Neighborhood map, and you can only carry one item per round. So, you’ll have to play three rounds of Survive the Killer to find and return all three items. After completing all three tasks, you’ll get the Badge and can claim the Killer’s Knife Aura UGC from the Survive the Killer area in The Hollow Hub.
If you want to claim the Killer’s Knife Aura UGC, you’ll need to first earn The Hollow Survive the Killer Badge. A special lobby and questline have been added to Survive the Killer, where you need to complete three different tasks across three different rounds. See our full guide below to learn how to get started, where to get the tasks, and how to complete them.
How to Start The Hollow Survive the Killer Badge Quest
To start the quests for the Survive the Killer Badge in The Hollow Event, you need to join Survive the Killer. You can do this by directly launching Survive the Killer or by using the portal inside The Hollow Hub.
Inside the Survive the Killer Lobby, click on the Hollow icon at the bottom of your screen (left of the backpack icon) to go to the Hollow area.

You’ll see three NPCs on the stage in front of you. Talk to all three one after the other, and they’ll ask you to find three items in total. Now, you want to join a round on the Happy Neighborhood Map. If you play on any other map, the items will not spawn.
Read on to learn about the spawn locations of all three items that you have to find:
Where is Flotsam’s Guitar in Survive the Killer

When you spawn in the Happy Neighborhood map, go towards the concert stage, and you’ll find Flotsam’s Guitar next to stacks of hay. Simply walk over it to pick it up. Now, you can either play until the end of the round or just let the killer kill you so you can spawn back to the lobby.
When you return, go back to the Hollow area and talk to Flotsam to hand over the guitar.
Where are Siren Head’s Keys in Survive the Killer

From the location of Flotsam’s Guitar, look straight across, and you’ll see a red car. Go towards that red car and jump into it to find and grab Siren Head’s Keys. Once again, you can either play through the full round or let the killer kill you to return to the lobby instantly and hand over the keyboard to Siren Head.
Where are Malvus’ Drumsticks in Survive the Killer

To find Malvus’ Drumsticks, you need to locate a Blue House, enter it, and then go to the second floor. You’ll see the Drumsticks on the floor, right next to a couch. Here’s how you can locate the right blue house:
- Go towards the red car where you grabbed Siren Head’s Keys from.
- From there, follow the road until you see a blue car on your right.
- The blue house just past that blue car is the one where you’ll find the Drumsticks.
After finding the Drumsticks, go back to the lobby and then talk to Malvus in the Hollow Event area. Hand over the Drumsticks and you’ll get the Hollow Survive the Killer Badge.
Leave Survive the Killer and go to The Hollow Hub to claim 10 Tickets and the Killer’s Knife Aura.
How to Claim the Killer’s Knife Aura in The Hollow Hub

After you’ve obtained the Survive the Killer Badge, join The Hollow Event Hub and go to Floor 7 using the elevator. On Floor 7, you’ll need to find the Survive the Killer area. Inside that area, you’ll see the Killer’s Knife Aura floating over a pedestal. Interact with it to claim the UGC item.
