Banana Eats The Hollow: How to Unlock Lolwen for Free

How to Get LOLWEN in The Hollow

The Banana Eats The Hollow quest rewards you with a free LOLWEN banana avatar item, but escaping with the key only completes the opening stage. You’ll also need to finish the cake puzzle in Banana’s Basement and collect the event badge. The final item claim takes place on floor six of The Hollow hub.

Before starting, keep these event details in mind:

• The Hollow crossover offers a limited-time treat.
• Banana Eats supports Desktop, Mobile, Xbox, and PlayStation 5.

Play Banana Eats on Roblox, then select the Hollow icon in the upper-right corner to see your objective. Your route begins with finding the Hollow key during a regular round.

Find the Hollow Key and Escape

1. Vote for the one-Banana escape mode. Having a single hunter keeps the round more manageable while you search.
2. Search the map for a red key on the ground. Multiple keys can appear during a round. Check different rooms instead of waiting beside another player who already has one.
3. Interact with the key to collect it. Check the surrounding floor for Banana’s traps before approaching.
4. Survive until the exits open, then escape with the key. Picking it up alone does not complete this stage.

The gym is one location worth searching, but keep moving through the map. A key can appear in a room that was empty earlier, so revisit an area if your initial search turns up nothing.

Once you have the key, focus on staying alive. Your beacon glows red when Banana is nearby. Use that warning to create distance, and watch for unfamiliar Banana skins rather than relying on one appearance to recognize the hunter.

Completing puzzles reduces the time until escape. The exits open when the timer reaches one minute, so start moving toward an exit as that point approaches. A locker can provide somewhere to hide while you wait, but you’ll still need to leave it and reach the exit.

You have three lives during the round. If you’re eliminated before escaping with the key, find another key and try again in a new round.

Enter Banana’s Basement and Complete the Cake

After escaping successfully, return to the lobby cave. Look for the red door near spawn and interact with it to enter Banana’s Basement. Escaping with the key also unlocks a special in-game skin; continue through the basement to work toward LOLWEN.

Inside, your objective is to bring the cake counter to 8/8.

1. Activate your banana torch. On desktop, press 1.
2. Check the cake display and its counter. One piece is already present at the beginning.
3. Explore the maze for the remaining slices. Follow both the white-arrow and red-arrow routes.
4. Search side rooms and branching hallways. An arrow does not mean every collectible lies directly along its path.
5. Keep collecting until the counter reaches 8/8.

The maze loops around, allowing you to revisit corridors when you miss a slice. Pick one arrow color to explore first, then work through the other route to keep your search organized.

Expect jump scares and misleading exit signs. Check nearby rooms before heading back toward the stairs. If you’re stuck at seven pieces, revisit branches you passed instead of repeatedly following the same route.

Completing the cake takes you into another dimension for a cutscene. Walk forward to the prize afterward to receive the event badge.

Claim LOLWEN on Floor Six

With the badge earned, head to The Hollow hub to collect the avatar item:

1. Enter the elevator and travel to floor six.
2. Search the floor for the Banana Eats room.
3. Enter the room and interact with the prize claim prompt to receive LOLWEN.

Floor six is dark, so check the rooms carefully as you explore. The banana-themed prize marks the room you need; use its claim prompt to finish collecting your reward.
