The Roblox Halloween Spotlight is back, and Strongman Ultra is one of the featured games offering exclusive rewards. This year, you can earn two crucial tokens: the Rune and the Key. This guide will walk you through the simple, yet repetitive, challenges required to claim both.
Understanding the Rune and Key Challenges
The Strongman Ultra Halloween event features two sequential challenges:
The Rune Challenge: This is the first and more straightforward task. Completing it rewards you with the Rune token.
The Key Challenge: This becomes available only after you have completed the Rune Challenge. It rewards you with the Key token.
Both tokens are used to unlock exclusive cosmetics and items within the broader Roblox Halloween Spotlight event hub.
Step-by-Step: How to Get the Rune Token
The Rune challenge is all about brute strength and persistence. Your goal is to score points by moving giant lollipops.
The Objective
You need to collect a total of 150 points (often referred to as candies or lollipop points) by carrying giant lollipops across the finish line.
The Process
Locate a Lollipop: Find one of the large, colorful lollipops scattered around the map.
Grab It: Walk up to the lollipop and press E to grab it. You will now be dragging it behind you.
Drag to the Finish Line: Pull the lollipop across the colored finish line area. When you do, you will see a notification and hear a sound confirming you’ve earned points. Each lollipop is worth a set number of points.
Repeat: This is a repetitive process. You must continue grabbing newly spawned lollipops and dragging them to the finish line until your total score reaches 150 points.
Pro Tip: Use a Private Server
Lollipops take time to respawn. In a public server with many players, you’ll face intense competition for every lollipop, slowing your progress significantly.
The Solution: Play in a Private Server. This allows you to farm lollipops alone or with a few friends, making the process much faster and smoother.
Claiming Your Reward
Once you hit 150 points, a special Halloween Spotlight portal will spawn in the map. Simply walk into this portal. You will be teleported and automatically receive the Rune token in your inventory.
Step-by-Step: How to Get the Key Token
After you have the Rune, you can move on to the second, slightly different challenge for the Key.
The Objective
Your new goal is to build the pumpkin bridge to access a treasure chest.
The Process
Locate the Pumpkins: Find the large pumpkins located near the unfinished bridge.
Grab and Drag: Just like with the lollipops, press E to grab a pumpkin.
Contribute to the Bridge: Drag the pumpkin to the designated construction area for the bridge. Your contribution will visually add a section to the bridge.
Repeat Until Complete: You and any other players in the server must continue adding pumpkins until the bridge is fully constructed.
Claiming Your Reward
Once the pumpkin bridge is complete, walk across it to the end. You will find a treasure chest. Interact with the chest to open it and receive your Key token.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Do I need to complete the challenges in order?
A: Yes. You must finish the Rune Challenge first before the Key Challenge becomes available to you.
Q: Can I get both the Rune and Key in one game session?
A: Absolutely. Once you get the Rune, you can immediately start working on the pumpkin bridge to get the Key without leaving the server.
Q: I finished the Rune challenge but no portal appeared. What do I do?
A: Ensure your score has officially reached 150 points. If it has, the portal usually spawns in a central location. Try relocating or rejoining the game if it doesn’t appear.
Q: Is Strongman Ultra one of the harder Halloween Spotlight games?
A: No. Compared to other games in the event, the challenges in Strongman Ultra are very straightforward and rely more on repetition and patience than on difficult mechanics, making it one of the easier events to complete.
Q: What are the Rune and Key used for?
A: These tokens are currency for the main Roblox Halloween Spotlight event. You can use them to claim exclusive cosmetics and rewards from the event hub.
Conclusion
Earning the Rune and Key in Strongman Ultra is a test of patience more than skill. The process is simple: drag lollipops to 150 points for the Rune, then drag pumpkins to build a bridge for the Key. The most effective strategy is to use a private server to avoid competition and make the repetitive tasks much quicker. By following this guide, you can efficiently add both of these valuable tokens to your Halloween Spotlight collection.
