- BEAR Alpha Hollow quest runs in two phases: a survival round holding a plush, then a trophy hunt in another dimension.
- Four trophies (yellow, purple, green, orange) each require a different mini-puzzle across separate zones.
- Final boss is a chase sequence — keep sprinting and follow the guiding vines.
- Claim your reward at floor nine of the hub elevator in the BEAR room after earning the badge.
- Best survival strategy: hide, avoid BEAR, and solve map puzzles to speed up the timer.
Hollow Quest Overview: How the Event Works
The Hollow event in BEAR Alpha is a limited-time crossover quest that rewards a badge and an exclusive plush backpack item. The quest is split into two distinct phases, and players must complete both in a single session to earn the badge.
Phase one plays out inside a normal round of BEAR Alpha. Somewhere on the map, a bear plushie spawns on the ground. Pick it up and hold it until the round timer reaches zero without being caught. Phase two begins after the round: return to the lobby, interact with the bed, and select Sleep to be teleported into the Hollow dimension, where the real work begins.
Phase 1: Plush Survival
- Find a bear plushie on the map
- Hold it until the countdown ends
- Hiding beats running
- Puzzles speed up the timer
Phase 2: Trophy Dimension
- Sleep in the lobby bed to enter
- Collect four trophies across zones
- Solve painting, cheese, tape, and color puzzles
- Finish with a chase boss fight
Play on a familiar map for phase one. Knowing hiding spots and puzzle locations in advance dramatically increases your odds of surviving while holding the plush, since carrying it may slow your movement or draw attention.
Phase 1 Walkthrough: Surviving With the Plush
The survival phase is straightforward but punishing if you get greedy. The moment you grab the plushie, your priority shifts from puzzle-solving to staying alive.
| Objective | Requirement | Difficulty | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find plushie | Locate one on the ground during a round | ★☆☆☆☆ | Access to next phase |
| Hold plushie | Keep it until timer hits zero | ★★★☆☆ | Teleport back to lobby |
| Sleep in bed | Interact with lobby bed and click Sleep | ★☆☆☆☆ | Enter Hollow dimension |
Load into a round
Join any standard BEAR Alpha round. The plushie spawns during active gameplay, not in the lobby.
Pick up the plushie
Search the ground for a bear plush. One pick-up is enough — you do not need multiples.
Hide and survive
Avoid BEAR at all costs. Hiding is far more reliable than outrunning it while carrying the plush.
Optional: solve puzzles
Hidden map puzzles reduce the remaining time. If one is nearby and safe to reach, complete it.
Return to the lobby bed
Once the timer hits zero, you are teleported back. Walk to the bed and click Sleep to enter the Hollow dimension.
If you are caught or drop the plushie before the countdown ends, the survival requirement is not fulfilled. You will need to start the phase over in a new round.
Phase 2: All Four Trophy Locations
Inside the Hollow dimension, four trophies are earned by completing zone quests. You can tackle them in any order, but all four are required before the boss unlocks.
| Trophy | Location | Puzzle Type | Key Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yellow | Building with wall paintings | Rotation puzzle | Click each painting until upright (4-5 total) |
| Purple | Classic house with roof | Fetch / light parkour | Grab cheese on roof, deliver to bear head room |
| Green | Hilltop area | Memory game | Insert tape in TV, repeat four shapes in order |
| Orange | Barn basement | Color memory | Stand on eye symbol, input distant colors in order |
Yellow Trophy — Painting Rotation
Find the building lined with paintings and click each one to rotate it. Turn every painting until it sits upright. It is a simple observation puzzle — roughly four or five paintings per room.
Purple Trophy — Cheese Delivery
A block of cheese sits on the roof of a classic house, reachable with light parkour. Carry it back down and look for a side room containing a bear head that asks for cheese. Hand it over to claim the trophy.
Green Trophy — Shape Memory Tape
Climb the hill to find a tape, then locate the TV that accepts it. The TV rapidly displays four shapes. Memorize the sequence and input them in the correct order to earn the trophy.
Orange Trophy — Barn Color Sequence
Enter the barn and drop into the basement. Stand on the eye symbol on the floor — this reveals a sequence of colors in the distance (for example, green, black, blue, red). Return upstairs and press the colors in the same order.
Yellow Trophy
- Skill: Observation
- Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆
- Time: Under 2 minutes
Purple Trophy
- Skill: Parkour
- Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆
- Time: 2-4 minutes
Green Trophy
- Skill: Memory
- Difficulty: ★★★☆☆
- Time: 2-5 minutes
Orange Trophy
- Skill: Memory
- Difficulty: ★★★☆☆
- Time: 3-5 minutes
For the green and orange trophies, the sequences are randomized per player. Say the shapes or colors out loud, or jot them down, before moving to the input station — rushing back is where most players fail.
Final Boss Fight: The Chase
With all four trophies in hand, return to spawn and place each trophy in its correct position. A cutscene triggers, launching the final boss encounter — a timed chase rather than a traditional fight.
The sequence tests endurance and routing:
- Keep moving constantly — standing still is the fastest way to get caught.
- Sprint liberally — stamina management matters, but momentum matters more.
- Follow the vines — vines appear along the route to direct you toward the correct path.
- Watch for ground monsters — enemies pop up from below; steer around them rather than jumping over.
- Dodge obstacles — the route is littered with hazards designed to slow you down.
You are not on a hard timer, so take corners carefully rather than blindly sprinting into hazards. Reaching the end triggers a brief white-screen flash, after which you are teleported back to the lobby and awarded the badge.
After earning the badge, head to the hub and take the elevator to floor nine. Search the floor until you find the BEAR room — the event prize, the Bear Plush Backpack, is claimable there.
Quest Checklist and Common Mistakes
Hollow Quest Milestones:
- Find and pick up a bear plushie during a round
- Survive while holding the plush until the timer ends
- Sleep in the lobby bed to enter the Hollow dimension
- Collect the yellow trophy (painting puzzle)
- Collect the purple trophy (cheese delivery)
- Collect the green trophy (shape memory tape)
- Collect the orange trophy (barn color sequence)
- Place all four trophies at spawn and beat the chase boss
- Claim the prize on hub floor nine in the BEAR room
The most frequent failure points, ranked by how often players report them:
| Mistake | Phase | Consequence | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dropping plush mid-round | Phase 1 | Survival not counted | Hide instead of roaming |
| Forgetting shape/color order | Phase 2 | Puzzle resets | Note sequence immediately |
| Missing cheese on roof | Phase 2 | Purple trophy blocked | Check roof edges carefully |
| Standing still during chase | Boss | Caught by boss | Constant movement plus sprint |
| Skipping trophy placement | Boss | Cutscene never triggers | Place all four at spawn |
Trophies must be placed in their correct positions at spawn. Randomly dropping them will not start the boss cutscene — check each pedestal matches its trophy color.
FAQ
Q: How long does the BEAR Alpha Hollow quest take?
Expect 15 to 30 minutes total. The survival round depends on the timer length, each trophy takes two to five minutes, and the final chase adds a few more minutes.
Q: Do I need to hold the plushie for multiple rounds?
No. Successfully surviving one full round while holding the plushie completes phase one. If you are caught or drop it, you simply try again in a new round.
Q: Can I complete the trophy puzzles out of order?
Yes. The four trophies in the Hollow dimension can be collected in any order. All four must be gathered and correctly placed at spawn before the boss cutscene triggers.
Q: What reward do I get for finishing the Hollow quest?
You earn an event badge and the Bear Plush Backpack. After the boss fight, claim the prize in the BEAR room on floor nine of the hub, reached via the elevator.
