Slayers 2 How to Get Breathing: All Trainers & Costs

If you've been grinding Project Slayers 2 and wondering how to unlock your first sword style, you're in the right place. Learning how to get breathing in Slayers 2 is the single biggest power spike a new slayer can earn, and it gates nearly every combo, skill tree upgrade, and boss fight in the game. The bad news: it takes a level 25 grind, a pile of Wen, and some very specific monster drops before any trainer will talk to you.

This guide breaks down the exact requirements, where to farm demon horns and beast cores, and where every breathing trainer stands in Ouwland — based on the official wiki, community guides, and player-tested routes.

Slayers 2 Breathing Requirements at a Glance

Before you sprint off to a trainer, understand that every style has its own price tag. Community guides report wildly different costs per style, so treat the ranges below as player-reported values that can shift with updates. The one constant is the level gate.

A few important notes on that table:

• You must be on the Slayer path. If you picked Demon, breathing styles are locked to you — that's what Blood Demon Arts are for.
• The Wen fee varies a lot. One community source lists Insect at around 3,500 Wen while Thunder sits near 7,000. Read the trainer's dialogue before you commit.
• Horn counts are inconsistent. The Fandom wiki lists Serpent Breathing at 20 demon horns and 5 demon cores, while a popular video guide claims 25 horns and 5 cores for the same style. Farm a little extra so you're not short.

Why Level 25 Matters

At level 25, trainers finally acknowledge you and the breathing questline opens up. The fastest route there is running Krue's bandit quests around Windy Peak, then switching to Tom's bear quests for the back half of the grind. If you're below 25, no amount of horns will help you — the trainer simply won't offer the option.

How to Farm Demon Horns in Slayers 2

Demon horns are the bulk of your material cost, and there are two reliable farming spots — both tied to the bear area.

Spot 1: The Cave Beneath the Bears (Solo Friendly)

Head down into the cave next to the bear zone and you'll find clusters of low-tier demon NPCs. Player experience notes these mobs are surprisingly aggressive for their level, so pull them one or two at a time. Each kill has a chance to drop one demon horn, making this the safer option if you're farming alone.

Spot 2: High Demons Near the Bear Location (Bring Friends)

Back up at the bear area, you'll find High Demons. These enemies can drop two horns per kill, which roughly doubles your farming speed — but there's a catch. High Demons use demon arts and hit noticeably harder than the cave mobs. Community reports strongly recommend bringing a friend or two for this spot and saving the cave for solo sessions.

Pro tip: Horns are a chance-based drop, not a guaranteed one. Budget extra time — if your style needs 25 horns, expect to kill well over 25 demons.

Where to Get Beast Cores

Beast Cores come from Beast Demons, which spawn at the Mistfall Harbor village gate at night. This is the part of the farm that catches people off guard, because the spawn is time-gated.

Here's the routine that works:

1. Wait for nightfall in-game before traveling to Mistfall.
2. Head to the village gate and look for the Beast Demon spawns.
3. Kill them and loot the cores — player reports suggest these fights are easier than the High Demons, so solo farming is fine here.
4. Bank your cores and repeat until you hit your style's requirement (usually 3–5).

If you're also hunting Spider Lilies for a Demon build later, the Mistfall area is worth memorizing — it shows up repeatedly in mid-game progression.

Every Breathing Trainer Location in Slayers 2

Once your materials are banked, it's time to find your trainer. Locations below are compiled from the Fandom wiki, community guides, and player walkthroughs — several trainers sit on cliffs or peaks, so unlock Wall Climb and Double Jump before you set out.

Serpent and Insect: The Starter Routes

Serpent is the first style most players unlock because Obari stands right outside the beginner village area, in the mountains in front of Windy Peak. Insect is a short trip toward the Butterfly Mansion wall. Both are beginner-friendly and forgiving on materials.

Water, Wind, and Sound: The Snow Region Cluster

Water, Wind, and Sound trainers all sit along routes that begin at the bear location. Water's trainer is a short climb from the bear camp. Wind and Sound both live in the snow biome — Wind on the left approach, Sound on the far right side near the top. If you're doing all three, knock them out in one trip.

Stone and Thunder: The Hardest to Find

Stone Breathing has an extra hoop: you need the Mace, a roughly 7% drop from a specific NPC, before the trainer will work with you. Thunder is widely considered the most annoying trainer to reach — Zentaro stands on the highest peak in Hidden Mist Village, past the bear area and its boss. Budget climbing time and stamina.

Flame: Behind the Red Bridge

Flame's trainer Rengu is on the roof behind the house by the long red bridge on the way out of Mistfall Harbor, past the Forgotten Ruins. Look up — he's not inside the building, he's on top of it.

What Happens After You Unlock a Breathing Style

Handing over your materials doesn't instantly grant the style. Each trainer runs you through a short training gauntlet — community reports mention tasks like aim training, push-ups, and meditation — followed by a trainee fight. Winning that fight is what officially registers the style on your character.

After unlocking, here's how progression works:

• Mastery levels up by using your moves. Spam your base attack in real fights to build it.
• Open your skill tree with M and look at the right side of the Slayer panel to unlock new forms. Early nodes need skill points and zero mastery; later ones demand higher mastery thresholds.
• Every style starts with one base move. For example, Insect unlocks new forms like True Flutter as you invest points.

Can You Switch Breathing Styles?

Yes, but it's expensive. Community guides confirm you pay a new full fee and lose all progress on your old style's forms. Treat your first pick as semi-permanent and check a tier list before committing — Thunder and Flame currently sit at the top of most community rankings.
