Lumber Tycoon 2's secret badge in The Hunt: Roblox 20 was originally one of the most tedious in the entire event — until developers quietly nerfed it. The old route demanded crafting a specific long wood plank just to climb a mountain, then blowing up a cave entrance with dynamite. The updated version skips both of those steps entirely. What's left is still a genuine multi-stage puzzle: a color-changing "glorb" you have to click exactly the right number of times, and a hidden bunker where three Dominus-wearing NPCs each want a different item. This guide covers the current nerfed route start to finish, plus the old pre-nerf steps in case you're playing on a server that hasn't updated yet.
⚡ Quick Answer
Climb the truss ladder into the cave, talk to the skeleton and choose "I seek permission," then find the purple glorb at your base and click it until it locks on the final orange (15-18 clicks). Drop it in the right brazier, grab the 3 boxes from the purple room, and deliver the Can, Purple Bag, and Glass Maraca to the correct NPCs in the taiga bunker.
What Developers Nerfed
Lumber Tycoon 2's secret badge quest got a genuine balance pass mid-event. The two most tedious opening steps — crafting a long wood plank to climb the mountain and blowing up the cave entrance with dynamite — were removed entirely. Everything past that point (the skeleton, the glorb, the bunker) is unchanged.
| Step | Pre-Nerf | Post-Nerf (Current) |
|---|---|---|
| Mountain Climb | Craft a long wood plank on the planer's lowest setting, use it to climb | Built-in truss ladder — climb directly, no crafting |
| Cave Entrance | Buy dynamite from the shack, blow up the rock blocking the entrance | Cave is open automatically — walk straight in |
| Skeleton, Glorb, Bunker | Unchanged | Unchanged |
📊 Key Detail: If your server still shows the rock entrance blocking the cave, you're on the pre-nerf version — buy dynamite from the shack across the bridge and blow it open the old way. Both routes lead to the exact same skeleton and puzzle chain past that point.

Phase 1 — Reaching the Skeleton
Before heading to the mountain, spend the $80 on a Work Light from the shop — the dark cave is close to unnavigable without one. Also buy an axe; you'll need it before the cave to chop trees into the sawmill chute and unlock the Purple Bag, one of the three final delivery items.
- Buy a Work Light ($80) and an axe from the shop before leaving base.
- Chop trees into the Sawmill chute until the Purple Bag unlocks. A better axe speeds this up significantly.
- Climb the truss ladder on the mountain pathway (post-nerf) or craft and place a long wood plank (pre-nerf).
- Enter the dark cave — it's open automatically now, no dynamite required.
- Find the skeleton inside and choose "I seek permission" when it asks, "You seek permission to unwrap the object?" It responds, "You may unwrap the object."
"You seek permission to unwrap the object? ... You may unwrap the object."
⚠️ Important: Leave the Purple Bag at your base before heading into the cave. Bringing it along makes the platforming harder, and you'll have to carry it all the way back to unwrap it anyway.
Comparing the two routes side by side, the nerf genuinely changes how this quest feels. The pre-nerf plank-crafting step alone cost several minutes of fiddling with planer settings before you could even start climbing — the truss ladder skips straight to the part of the quest that's actually interesting.
Phase 2 — The Glorb Puzzle
After the skeleton grants permission, head back to your base and find the purple glorb that's now unwrapped and waiting there. This is the puzzle most players get stuck on because the click count isn't consistent between sources.
- Interact with the purple glorb (Press E). It turns black, then turns orange.
- Click the orange glorb repeatedly. One source counts 15 additional clicks to reach the "final orange," another counts 18 clicks total — click steadily and stop the moment it visibly locks on its final state rather than counting blindly.
- Stop clicking once it locks. Continuing past the final orange state isn't confirmed to break anything, but there's no reason to keep going.
- Transport the glorb to the lava room. Use a car or truck bed if you have one — it's far faster than carrying it on foot.
- Drop the glorb in the right brazier (the right-hand lava hole). This opens the door to the purple room.
💡 Pro Tip: The two sources disagree on exact click count (15 vs 18) likely because they started counting from different points. Watch the glorb itself — it visibly changes when it reaches its final orange state, so go by that instead of a fixed number.

Phase 3 — The Bunker & 3 NPCs
The purple room holds three boxes you'll need to deliver to a hidden bunker on the other side of the map. This is where a car matters most — the distance is long and each item has to make the trip.
- Grab all 3 boxes from the purple room: the Can, the Purple Bag (the unwrapped item from the skeleton), and the Glass Maraca.
- Drive to the taiga/snow biome bordering the plains — a car saves significant time over carrying items manually.
- Look for a red badge showing a bird on the right wall. This marks the hidden bunker trapdoor.
- Drop down into the bunker and find the three NPCs seated at a table.
- Deliver each item to the correct NPC using the table below.
- Claim the axe hanging from the ceiling once all three deliveries are complete — this grants the secret badge.
| Item | Give To | NPC Identifier |
|---|---|---|
| The Can | Left seat, on the plate | Wears the Gold Dominus |
| The Purple Bag | Top seat | "Broke" guy, no Dominus |
| The Glass Maraca | Right seat | Wears the White Dominus |
📊 Key Detail: There are no enemies or combat anywhere in this quest — the Bunker Trio and the skeleton are the only entities, and both are purely functional NPCs for dialogue and item delivery.
Completing the delivery triggers the on-screen message: "You've completed the quest for Lumber Tycoon 2! Return to the hub to claim your prize and continue your journey through time." For other confirmed secret badges in this drop, see our Batch 1 guide.
Rewards & the Twentieth Teapot
Completing this quest awards the Lumber Tycoon 2 secret badge and axe outright. But it also counts toward a much bigger prize if you're collecting every secret badge in the event:
- Secret Badge Axe — awarded immediately for completing this quest.
- Chest of Overflowing Loot — a separate event prize tied to secret badge progress.
- Vicennial Visor — a free accessory available from the main event hub.
- The Twentieth Teapot — requires all 20 secret badges AND an active Roblox+ subscription. This is the one prize this specific quest alone won't get you.
💡 Pro Tip: If you're chasing the Twentieth Teapot, confirm your Roblox+ subscription is active before grinding out the remaining secret badges — the requirement is checked on claim, not on completion of any individual badge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What did developers nerf in the Lumber Tycoon 2 secret badge quest?
Developers removed the need to craft a long wood plank to climb the mountain, replacing it with a built-in truss ladder, and removed the requirement to blow up the cave entrance with dynamite — the cave is now open automatically. Every step after entering the cave is unchanged.
How many times do you click the glorb in Lumber Tycoon 2?
Sources vary between 15 additional clicks after it turns orange and 18 clicks total, likely due to counting from different starting points. Watch the glorb itself — it visibly locks onto its final orange state, and that visual change matters more than hitting an exact number.
Which item goes to which NPC in the Lumber Tycoon 2 bunker?
Give the Can to the NPC wearing the Gold Dominus on the left, the Purple Bag to the "broke" NPC with no Dominus at the top, and the Glass Maraca to the NPC wearing the White Dominus on the right. All three deliveries are required before the ceiling axe unlocks.
What is the Twentieth Teapot and how do you get it?
The Twentieth Teapot is an event prize that requires collecting all 20 secret badges across The Hunt: Roblox 20 plus an active Roblox+ subscription. Completing the Lumber Tycoon 2 badge alone doesn't unlock it — it's one piece of the full 20-badge requirement.
Do you still need dynamite for the Lumber Tycoon 2 secret badge?
No, not on the current nerfed version — the cave entrance is open automatically. Dynamite is only needed if you're on an older, pre-nerf server that still shows a rock blocking the cave, in which case buy it from the shack across the bridge.
Final Thoughts
The nerf makes Lumber Tycoon 2's secret badge a genuinely reasonable quest instead of a crafting chore — the puzzle chain that's left (skeleton, glorb, bunker trio) is the actually interesting part of the design. Buy the Work Light before you go in, leave the Purple Bag at base until the cave is done, and use a car for the boxes-to-bunker haul. That's the whole quest. For the rest of the secret badge lineup, check our Batch 2 and Batch 3 guides.
