Star Employee in DOORS: Starlight Bottle for Honcho and The Mail Room

Updated 03.10.2026· Author: Mark K

Where to get it

Give Honcho something he’s not supposed to have—the Starlight Bottle—then clear The Mail Room anyway. It’s a long trip: you get the bottle in The Backdoor, and Honcho is in The Archives.

How to get it

Start your run in The Backdoor and get the Starlight Bottle there. You can buy it for 100 Gold behind the last door in The Backdoor.
Bring it to The Archives, either through all of The Hotel or through Lotus.
Keep the bottle on your hotbar: Honcho only takes it from there.
At Honcho’s desk, he’ll take the bottle and drop you into The Mail Room.
Clear The Mail Room all the way, like in a regular encounter.

How hard is it?

This is a rare badge. It’s two challenges back to back: a long trip with the bottle, then The Mail Room against a buffed Honcho. I think the second part is scarier.

Tip

I wouldn’t drink the bottle on the way, even if things get rough. The whole trip from The Backdoor would be for nothing.

The trip from The Backdoor to Honcho

The longest part is bringing the bottle. It can save you from Rush if there’s nowhere to hide: the extra health lets you survive a hit. But if you drink it, you won’t get the badge. Hide the regular way.

Honcho can appear in any sector of The Archives after the first one. You’re guaranteed to meet him, even if you skip sectors by spending Gold. So feel free to spend your Gold from The Hotel to skip sectors: it shortens the trip and lowers the risk of losing the bottle.

When you hand over the bottle, Curious Light will notice and say you shouldn’t have done that. Don’t worry about it—that’s how it’s supposed to go.

Don’t stash the bottle in the Lunch Box

This is the most frustrating mistake. If you put all your Starlight Bottles in the Lunch Box, Honcho won’t take one. That’s a handy trick for a regular run, but it’ll ruin your badge attempt.

The same goes for other bottles. Honcho won’t take the small Starlight Vial or the barrel of Starlight at all. It has to be the Starlight Bottle.

Why The Mail Room is harder with the bottle

After Honcho gets the bottle, he starts glowing yellow. That’s your cue: he breaks doors faster, making the fight harder.

You have less time. Normally, Honcho appears in the room after about 2 minutes 25 seconds. With the bottle, you get about 1 minute 25 seconds. And he hits harder: 90 damage instead of 70.

How I speed through The Mail Room

First, the door. As soon as you drop in, take a couple of steps and close the big door with the terminal right away. Otherwise, Honcho will attack as soon as he appears.

Next, the boxes. Look for the box with the same label as the depot and put it there. You can’t carry a box through the gate; pass it through the conveyor or opening.

Listen for the pounding. The frequency of the hits on the door tells you how long you have until it breaks. Vitamins help you run faster through the rooms, so I save them for this fight.

How rare is it?

About 3 out of 10,000 players who have ever played DOORS have Star Employee. The badge was added to Roblox on August 28, 2026, the same day Honcho was added to the game.
