What is Hypixel Ravengard?

Ravengard is Hypixel's PvPvE extraction game in Minecraft. Enter a dungeon with other players, fight monsters, gather equipment and escape with what you find. Your next run puts that loot at risk again.

Playtest 3 adds the Outer Ruins, crafting, salvaging and equipment modifiers. This guide separates current patch facts from older playtest explanations; it does not claim hands-on testing or complete item and boss databases.

Ravengard extraction

An escape portal is the route back with your loot. The original playtest explains the extraction loop; Playtest 3 also rewards escapes with Cursed Fragments.

Escape reward
Playtest 3 rewards successful dungeon escapes with Cursed Fragments for equipment modifiers.
Death risk
The original playtest rules describe losing carried loot and returning to a starter loadout after dying. This is an earlier published rule, not a new hands-on test.
