Sound Breathing in Slayers 2 S

How to get Sound Breathing in Slayers 2

Sound Breathing requirements

Tengai asks for all of this before the training starts:

• Level 25
• Slayer path
• 4,000 Wen
• 10 Demon Horns
• 3 Beast Cores
• Wall Climb

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.

Sound Breathing training tasks

The tasks unlock one at a time in this order, and the quest marker leads to each training area.

1. 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.
2. Barbell Squats. Keep your input inside the moving bar until the meter reaches 100%.
3. 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.
4. Cup Training. Butterfly Mansion: the small mat in the third room of the big house to the right of the spawn crystal. Pick the cup that hides the coin 10 times. A wrong pick costs one of three lives and the shuffle speeds up each round; the coin is easier to follow in daylight.
5. Underwater Rocks. The lake beside Bamboo Grove. Collect five glowing blue rocks. They can be anywhere in the lake, so watch your oxygen.
6. Beat the Sound Trainee. Iceveil Valley's cold keeps draining your health during the fight, so bring healing.

Winning that fight unlocks Sound Breathing. Open the Skill Tree afterwards and spend your skill points on its forms. Training areas on the map: Butterfly Mansion, Bamboo Grove.
