The Beast is the chapter of Slay the Princess with the most intricate puzzle of choices to explore. Here we’re going to cover the entirety of the Slay the Princess Beast walkthrough.
Facing down the Princess’ feral anger leaves you with a Princess more animal than humanoid. Is there any way to survive the beast, or is she doomed to hunt you down?
The Beast route is accomplished by betraying the Princess and being overwhelmed by her anger. This means you have to begin without the knife. With that, do one of the following:

Either of these lead to the Beast.
You’ll meet the Beast in a jungle version of the cabin. Every action you take in this route matters. Depending on these actions, here are all the potential outcomes:
If you’ve already done The Wild via The Witch, there’s an achievement for not dodging when you first come down. As you’re not allowed to get devoured again, you’ll automatically dodge.
If you get The Wild, there’s only one choice that matter in this route: choosing to bury the hatred in your heart or gaze into it. If you gaze into it, you’ll be presented with a Princess fused to the tree, aka The Wounded Wild. Whether you kill her or not, The Shifting Mound claims her. Otherwise, burying the hatred leads to a fixed outcome of glancing beyond the game’s world. The Shifting Mound claims this Princess as a different variant.
If you instead get The Den, your dialogue options to The Princess won’t yield a response. Your options are instead to either step into the shadows to fight, or step into the shadows to try and lure her out. If you fight her, The Shifting Mound claims her before she can maul you again. If you lure her out, you’ll flee the den and she’ll get stuck. With the knife your option is to talk it out or slay her, but either option leads to The Shifting Mound claiming her.
In total, the Beast route has four possible Princess vessels to give to the Shifting Mound. As two are tied to The Wild, you’ll need to replay this route a few times to give all of them.
Beyond that, you never did get to Slay the Beast, or even outrun her. But you have seen another side to the Princess, one very different from the other routes. That about covers the Slay the Princess: Beast walkthrough.
