A player becoming a beast.

Beast is a major event in the Hypixel Pit. Like all major events, when it occurs, 3 minutes advance warning is given. Beast lasts for 5 minutes.

When a Beast event starts, three random players are chosen to be beasts. If a player kills the beast, they become a beast. Beasts are given a diamond chestplate with Protection II, diamond leggings with Fire Protection V (if they are not wearing Mystic Pants), diamond boots with Projectile Protection V, and a diamond sword. Placement is determined by how many beasts a player killed and how many players they killed as the beast.

During Beast, the following gameplay changes take effect:

• Beasts gain 10♥︎ but cannot gain health by any method.
• Beasts get permanent Slowness I. If they are too far away from the center, they will take 1♥︎ of true damage every second until dead, at which point a random player becomes a beast.
• Triple gold and XP on kills (not on assists) while you are a beast.
• Beasts gain 250g for every 5 total seconds that they have been a beast.
• Beasts do not lose lives on mystic items on death.
• All mystics that provide healing are disabled.
• Players are unable to place blocks during the event.

• 2 renown and 2,000 gold if the player placed within the top 3
• 1 renown and 500 gold if the player placed within the top 20
• 100 gold if the player did not place within the top 20

Additional rewards that players can earn during Beast:

• 500 gold if no beast was the beast for longer than a total of 90 seconds
• Diamond chestplate, leggings, and boots if the player was a Beast at the end of the event

Prior to a patch in late 2021, the Golden Heart mystic could be used to survive for an extended period of time as Beast.
