The Hollow Grin boat is the reward for ten ship pieces, and the Headless Horseman in Haunted Hollow wants all of them. Three you catch by fishing in Haunted Hollow. The other seven are fixed pickups spread across Haunted Hollow, Fernshore and Dunehaven.
Most of the job is walking the map, so each piece below has its own landmarks. A route that saves trips runs Haunted Hollow, then Fernshore, then Dunehaven, and ends back at Fernshore's Shipyard for the boat.
All Ten Ship Pieces at a Glance
Tick these off as you go. Each one's landmarks are in its section below.
| Piece | Area | How you get it |
|---|---|---|
| Pumpkin Head | Haunted Hollow | Fishing drop |
| Horse Figurehead | Haunted Hollow | Fishing drop |
| Anchor | Haunted Hollow | Fishing drop |
| Ship Wheel | Haunted Hollow | Fixed pickup |
| Flag | Haunted Hollow | Fixed pickup |
| Lantern | Haunted Hollow | Fixed pickup |
| Spiked Rail | Fernshore | Fixed pickup |
| Throne Seat | Fernshore | Fixed pickup |
| Bat Sail | Dunehaven, level 15 | Fixed pickup |
| Hull Plank | Dunehaven, level 15 | Fixed pickup |
Haunted Hollow holds six of the ten, so start there and you'll clear most of the list before you travel.
How to Start the Hollow Grin Quest in Haunted Hollow
Open the Teleport menu from the menu bar and select Haunted Hollow. Talk to the Headless Horseman to see his ten-piece list, which shows each name with a rough hint.
Haunted Hollow is the Halloween event area.
Three Ship Pieces You Fish for in Haunted Hollow
Pumpkin Head, Horse Figurehead and Anchor come from fishing in Haunted Hollow. Each one has a 1-in-40 chance, so expect to fish for a while. The rest of the Haunted Hollow pieces are fixed spots, so you can collect them between casts.
Regular shop rods may not drop these three. If nothing drops, check the rod in your hand, and try the Gravedigger Rod if you have it. The Gravedigger Rod may also be the one Haunted Hollow gives you on your first spawn there. None of the rod details are confirmed as a requirement, so treat them as a first check, not a rule.
Haunted Hollow Ship Piece Locations
These three are fixed spots, so you can check them directly instead of fishing.
Ship Wheel
Go behind the mansion and down to the lower level. The Ship Wheel is there.
Flag
Head to the corner by the water near the Halloween Merchant. The Flag sits in that corner.
Lantern
Near the mansion shops (Rods, Upgrades, Sell and Baits), the Lantern sits out in the open. Climb the stairs and it's on your left. If it isn't there, look above the water drain at the Haunted Hollow board.
Fernshore Ship Piece Locations
Fernshore holds two more fixed pickups.
Spiked Rail
Go behind the “Event active now” board, then parkour up and look behind the fence. If the rail isn't there, check the slope above the Sell Shop, on your left.
Throne Seat
Walk behind the leaderboard signs, on the side away from the Mutation Reroll area. The Throne Seat sits between two rocks back there.
Dunehaven Ship Piece Locations
Dunehaven is locked until level 15, so you need that before either pickup.
Bat Sail
Follow the narrow passage behind the Upgrades, Sell and Baits area. The Bat Sail is on the right.
Hull Plank
From Enchanting, look left, then jump up to the second level from the platform in front. The Hull Plank sits in a hole at the corner. If that hole is empty, check the ground behind the tree just left of the Enchant platform.
Spawning the Hollow Grin Boat in Fernshore
Once all ten pieces are in hand, the boat is one menu away.
- Head back to Fernshore.
- Open the Boats menu at the Shipyard.
- Scroll to the bottom and spawn the Hollow Grin boat.
The boat has Speed 108, Fuel 6,600 and five seats. If Hollow Grin isn't on that list, go back to the Headless Horseman in Haunted Hollow with all ten pieces and check for a turn-in option. That step isn't confirmed, so only try it if the boat doesn't show up at the Shipyard.
