Sneaky Hollow
Is your memory as fleeting as your lifespan, child? As I told you before, this is my home. You are welcome to come and go as you please.
— In-game description
Sneaky Hollow is a zone in The Black Shroud.
This non-instanced area is only accessible during All Saints' Wake. First introduced in the 2022 edition of the seasonal event, it was brought back in subsequent events.
A small area filled with various All Saints' Wake decorations, this area houses two NPCs: an Unsavory Imp who will transform the player into various NPCs they have encountered on their journey, and the Pumpkin-headed Apparition who will tell the player about the area.
Unlock
After completing the year's All Saints' Wake questline, e.g. 
Grim and Grisly Games in 2026, speak to the Unusual Usher in Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre in Old Gridania (X:10.1, Y:9.2) to enter this area.
Dialogue
Talking to the Pumpkin-headed Apparition
Pumpkin-headed Apparition: You wish to have words? ...Very well, what would you know?
What is this place?
Pumpkin-headed Apparition: Is your memory as fleeting as your lifespan, child? As I told you before, this is my home. You are welcome to come and go as you please.
Who are you?
Pumpkin-headed Apparition: You need ask? My head is not merely for show: I am the archfiend feared and revered since time immemorial. The Great Gourd, who once led legions of darkness...
Pumpkin-headed Apparition: ...Is, in fact, merely a title held by those in my coven. Each generation, the knowledge to control denizens of the void is passed down alongside the appellation.
What is it that you do exactly?
Pumpkin-headed Apparition: I watch. My ancestors once bound the voidsent to their will as a means to wage war, and caused irreparable harm to the world in so doing.
Pumpkin-headed Apparition: Remorseful for their actions, they swore to never be complicit in such a tragedy again. We have watched ever since. Our goal is not to harm the minions of darkness, but to educate them. Show them that peace is an option.
Pumpkin-headed Apparition: But I have spoken enough. I had not realized entertaining a guest could be quite so thrilling...heh heh heh.
