Halloween 2026

The Hollow Graveyard

Open now, until Sunday 8 November. A fog gate opens in Lumbridge graveyard. Behind it, the dead won't stay buried. The rewards are tradeable and never come back.

The great cauldron

Everything you dig up goes into one cauldron for the whole server. Every 25% unlocks something new.

Witching Hour
  • 25% The Possessed Jack-o'-Lantern starts rising in the pumpkin patch (every 30 minutes) and the crypt opens.
  • 50% The Witching Hour: double grave finds every day from 20:00 to 21:00 UTC.
  • 75% The Jack-o'-Lantern rises every 15 minutes and the cauldron boils over: candy for everyone nearby.
  • 100% The Grand Rising (a stronger boss with an extra loot roll for everyone), the title 'the Hollow' for everyone who added 1,000+, and the Black h'ween mask raffle.

How it works

  1. Walk to the Lumbridge church graveyard and enter the fog gate. It's a safe area: you keep your items if you fall.
  2. Talk to Leo the Gravekeeper by the gate. He explains everything, lends you a spade and runs the Treat stall.
  3. Dig the fresh graves for candy and pumpkins (and a bit of Prayer xp, switch it off at Leo or with ::hw26xp). Sometimes a zombie bursts out: kill it for more candy. You also turn up bandages for the boss.
  4. Mess with the swamp zombies by the graves: call one over, insult it (then catch its head before anyone else does) or scare it to bits. Little bit of candy each (sometimes a potion dose), and they pull themselves back together after a minute.
  5. Put your finds in the great cauldron. You get treat points and the whole server gets closer to the next milestone.
  6. From 25%, the Possessed Jack-o'-Lantern rises in the pumpkin patch. Pray against its seeds and flames, stomp the seeds before they hatch.
  7. Race through the crypt under the graveyard for the leaderboard and the Grim chest.
  8. Ask Leo why the dead won't stay down: The Hollow Heart, a short quest. Follow the clues (a torn page, a diary, a key) and bring the Heart back.
  9. Bandages, spooky restores and potions of power from the event only work inside the Hollow, so stock up for the boss.
  10. Smash the Jack-o'-Lantern 20 times, finish 20 crypt runs and turn up 1,000 grave finds and a little Pet jack-o'-lantern follows you home. Leo shows your progress. Only during the event, one per account.

The Possessed Jack-o'-Lantern

A group boss (combat 138) that gets tougher with every player in the patch. It rains fiery seeds on several players at once (Protect from Missiles), breathes hollow flame on its target (Protect from Magic) and throws back anyone standing under it. Seeds that land must be stomped, or they hatch into Pumpkin spawns that heal it. Below a third of its health it splits its shell and attacks faster. Not killed in 15 minutes? It sinks back into the soil. Everyone who did real damage gets their own loot roll.

The crypt run

A timed run under the graveyard: slash your way through the web maze (only one web per row is real), cross the chasms (every step has two ways over and only one holds, and it changes every run), then get through the gargoyle gallery. Their fire burns down the scorched lanes, the bone vents blow up on the lava cracks and the pale slabs drop you back to the start of the gallery. Coffins open once per run: a sweet, a potion dose, a harmless scare or nothing. Watch out though: some coffins burst open when you walk past and a real skeleton or zombie comes for you. Kill it for 2-3 candy. Every run gives Agility xp that grows with your level; the Grim chest pays out in full for your first 10 runs a day. You can't die down there, but pass out and you're back at the start with the clock still running. Opens at 25%, on Monday 19 October at the latest, or straight away once you've returned the Hollow Heart.

Leo's Treat stall

Spend your treat points. Max 3 of each piece per account, nothing is bought back, and the stall closes for good on 10 November. Boss supplies (bandages 8, spooky restore 40, potion of power 40 points) have no limit and only work in the Hollow.
