The Epic Minigames lobby has gotten a spooky makeover for the Roblox Halloween Spotlight, and with it comes a new questline to earn exclusive items. The main goal is to obtain two crucial items: a Rune and a Key, which are used to claim Ultimate Guide Creator (UGC) items in the main Spotlight Event Hub.
This guide will walk you through the entire process, from helping Steve with his potion to completing tasks for three iconic monsters.
Introduction: The Halloween Questline
During the Epic Minigames Halloween 2025 event, a new NPC named Steve appears in the lobby. He needs your help gathering ingredients for a “spooky concoction.” Assisting him and his monstrous friends is the only way to earn the Rune and Key badge and their corresponding items.
The quest is split into two main parts: first getting the Rune, and then using it to start the quest for the Key.
Part 1: How to Get the Rune
The first step is earning the Rune by completing Steve’s spooky concoction quest.
Talk to Steve: Find the NPC Steve in the Halloween-themed lobby. He will explain that he needs a special potion brewed.
Find a Spooky Recipe: Play any minigame and look for a Spooky Recipe item hidden within the game. You must find and collect this once.
Collect the Three Herbs: You need to gather three different herbs by playing specific types of minigames. The herbs are random drops, so you may need to play a few rounds of each.
Spooky Herb: Found in Survival or Luck-based minigames.
Scary Herb: Found in Versus or Team-based minigames.
Skeleton Herb: Found in Controller or Racing-based minigames.
Brew the Concoction: Once you have all three herbs and the recipe, return to the cauldron in the lobby (usually near Steve). Interact with it to brew the potion.
Claim Your Rune: After brewing the potion, you will receive the Rune item and its associated badge.
Part 2: How to Get the Key
After you have the Rune, speak to Steve again. He will now task you with helping three monsters to create a final, powerful concoction. This will grant you the Key.
Helping the Werewolf
Locate the Werewolf in the lobby.
Purchase a Soul Lantern from the in-event shop for a small amount of candy.
Equip the Soul Lantern and use it to collect five lost souls. These glowing spirits are scattered throughout various minigame maps and the lobby.
Helping Mr. Monster
Find Mr. Monster near the leaderboard area in the lobby.
He will ask you to retrieve a bucket of candy trapped in a crystal.
You must find a “trafigurator” (a teleportation device) in a specific free-roam minigame. Use this device to teleport inside the crystal and grab the candy bucket.
Helping Count Tenance
Speak to Count Tenance, who is located near the lighthouse.
He has two tasks for you:
Collect Spider Eggs: Find and collect three spider eggs hidden around the main lobby.
Defeat the Giant Spider: Join a Monster Melee minigame and work with other players to defeat a giant spider boss.
Claiming Your Final Rewards
Once you have completed all tasks for the Werewolf, Mr. Monster, and Count Tenance, return to Steve one last time.
He will ask you to pay 25 candy to brew the final concoction. After paying, you will receive your well-earned rewards:
The Key item.
The final quest badge.
An exclusive cauldron cosmetic.
You can now use both the Rune and Key in the main Roblox Halloween Spotlight Hub to claim your exclusive UGC rewards. Remember, this event ends on November 3, 2025.
