The Demonology quest introduces a unique challenge during Day 3 of The Hollow event, setting you in a black-and-white realm packed with hostile beings. Your main tasks involve gathering six relics, performing a ritual at the central altar, and ultimately escaping without being captured. Navigating this world can be disorienting, but don’t worry—the compass in the upper corner of your screen will help direct you to the altar and other vital points. Plus, use wardrobes to hide from the lurking entities.
Successfully finishing the quest grants you the Way Back badge and unlocks the coveted Biter Fedora (Head Accessory). Make sure to return to the hub to claim your reward once you’re done.
How to start the Demonology quest in The Hollow
To kick off the quest, step into the Demonology portal located in The Hollow event hub. This will transport you into a distinctive monochrome world where your main goal will be to gather six relics for the central altar.
Upon entering the portal, check the top-right corner of your screen for the prompt to start the event. Follow the on-screen guides to step into this new realm and initiate your challenge. Your mission is to locate all six relics, place them on the altar for the ritual, and exit through the door that opens afterward.
How to navigate the Demonology map
This black-and-white world can be quite tricky to get through, especially while hunting for those relics and dodging the entities. To help you in your search, use the compass found at the top of your screen to identify the altar’s location and other important spots. Follow either the red marker or the glowing ball to discover the necessary destinations.
Be vigilant for environmental signals. If an entity gets close, the monochrome effect will start to fade, accompanied by alarming screams that signal trouble. You’ll spot wardrobes in various locations throughout the map—these serve as hiding spots. If an entity starts coming your way, duck into a wardrobe and wait for the danger to pass before continuing your search.
How to find all six relics in The Hollow Demonology quest
Your objective is to collect six relics and deliver them to the central altar. Each relic involves a unique task, so here’s how to snag them all.
1. Altar Lantern
For the Altar Lantern, locate the three lamps clustered around the square and ignite them using spectral fire.
2. Stygian Hourglass
To gain the Stygian Hourglass, stay within a moving ring that shifts around the square. Tracking the ring closely is crucial—stepping outside the designated area will slow your progress.
3. Grimoire
You can find the Grimoire by wandering along the western road, where three signs await. Read these signs in the specific order needed to complete the task and secure the relic. Don’t mix them up!
4. Devil Mirror
Snagging the Devil Mirror involves pursuing a mirror along the eastern road. Chase it until you manage to trap it. Once caught, the task is complete.
5. Cursed Lock
To find the Cursed Lock, check around the park gate. Investigate crates, barrels, and buckets nearby for a lockpick. This will allow you to finish this item quest.
6. Skull of the Allseer
The last relic, the Skull of the Allseer, is buried in the graveyard. Look for a shovel there and use it to unearth the skull. After obtaining the artifact, head back to the central altar.
How to complete the altar ritual
Once you’ve gathered all six relics, return to the central altar and place the items there to conduct the ritual. Be cautious on your way back; carrying a relic guarantees that an entity will target you, so plan your hiding spots wisely prior to reaching the altar.
Use one of the nearby wardrobes to conceal yourself when being hunted. Stay put until it’s safe to exit the wardrobe and finish the ritual.
When you’ve placed all six relics on the altar, the ritual concludes, and a previously closed door will open. Go through that door to successfully wrap up the quest.
Rewards for completing the Demonology quest
Upon completing the Demonology quest, you’ll receive the following:
- Way Back badge: Earn this badge by completing the ritual and escaping the monochrome world.
- Biter Fedora (Head Accessory): After finishing the quest, remember to return to The Hollow hub to claim this UGC reward.
Make your way out through the door that opens and finish the challenge before returning to claim your rewards.
