Serpent Breathing in Slayers 2 A
Hebi no Kokyu · Slayer path · Tier A (4 of 5 lists) on the breathing tier list
To get Serpent Breathing in Slayers 2, reach level 25 on the Slayer path and bring 20 Demon Horns and 5 Beast Cores to the trainer Obari in Windy Peak. The trainer then sets six training tasks: five mini-games, then a fight with the Serpent Trainee. Curving, hard-to-read slashes that bend around blocks. Serpent is the style for players who win by reading the opponent rather than out-damaging them. This page covers Serpent Breathing in Slayers 2, the game formerly listed as Project Slayers 2.
How to get Serpent Breathing in Slayers 2
Serpent Breathing requirements
Obari asks for all of this before the training starts:
- Level 25
- Slayer path
- 20 Demon Horns
- 5 Beast Cores
- Wall Climb to reach the trainer
Farm the materials before the trip, or you walk back for them. Demon Horns drop from demons; Pro Game Guides farms the Hoyuzo boss's subordinates (a 30% chance of one horn) or the Hoyuzo boss itself (a 50% chance of three). Beast Cores drop from Beast Born Demons, with a 50% chance each.
Serpent Breathing training tasks
The tasks unlock one at a time in this order, and the quest marker leads to each training area.
- Meditation. Butterfly Mansion: the mat in the second room of the big house to the right of the spawn crystal. Click each time the moving bar crosses the white marker until the meter is full.
- Push Ups. Butterfly Mansion: the push-up mat in the big house to the right of the spawn crystal. Click each white circle just as the inner ring is about to touch its edge. Standing up with a red aura means the set failed.
- Boulder Split. Two giant boulders between Windy Peak and Mistfall Harbor, in front of the Boulder Push maze. Drag each slider to the far end of its line; when every slider is across, the boulder splits.
- Boulder Push. The maze between Windy Peak and Mistfall Harbor, right behind the two Boulder Split boulders. Push a boulder where the white arrow points within two minutes, or it starts over. The boulder can clip through some walls, which shortens the route.
- Aim Training. Butterfly Mansion: the target-shooting range near the big house to the right of the spawn crystal. Start at either target board and click the targets as they pop up.
- Beat the Serpent Trainee. From the Windy Peak shrine, climb the mountain on your right.
Winning that fight unlocks Serpent Breathing. Open the Skill Tree afterwards and spend your skill points on its forms. Training areas on the map: Butterfly Mansion.
Pro Game Guides also lists a 1,000 Wen fee for Serpent, which our other sources leave out.
