Slayers 2 Progression Route
Slayers 2 progression guide planning is easiest when you treat each level range as a milestone rather than rushing toward the next NPC. Complete the early handoffs, keep your movement upgrades current, and use quests that you can clear consistently.
Video Highlights:
- Early quest route from the starting area through the level-40 grind.
- Breathing training before Final Selection.
- Recommended level milestones through the snowy region and late-game quests.
- Crow quests, weapon enchantment, and post-exam priorities.
| Level or stage | Main objective | Recommended focus |
|---|---|---|
| Levels 1–10 | Krue's bandit quests | Learn combat and complete village handoffs |
| Levels 13–25 | Tom's bear quests | Build levels, Wen, and basic mastery |
| Level 25 | Start Breathing training | Gather the trainer's required materials |
| Levels 26–40 | Chaka, Kaiden, and Wagwan quests | Improve your weapon and movement tools |
| Level 45–60 | Final Selection preparation | Practice your kit and stock healing items |
| Level 65+ | The Forge quest | Plan an Ouwigahara crafting goal |
Set your spawn near the current grind and unlock useful shrines as you explore. A short return trip saves time when a boss quest goes badly.
Levels 1–45 and Breathing Training
Start by finishing the introductory village content instead of skipping directly to the next level requirement. Complete Kona's Recover the Lost Pages quest in Windy Peak to obtain the Book of Guidance. If Chaka's quests remain locked, check the earlier handoffs, including Kazu's notes and Lucy's village route.
| Milestone | NPC or location | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Levels 1–6 | Krue | Defeat three Bandits repeatedly |
| Level 7 | Krue | Complete the Mini Boss Zuko quest |
| Levels 13–18 | Tom | Hunt bears and complete Mother Bear quests |
| Level 25 | Chosen trainer | Begin a Breathing Style questline |
| Level 26 | Chaka | Repeat the Kaiden's Subordinates quest |
| Level 34 | Chaka | Complete the Kaiden quest and continue toward level 40 |
| Level 40 | Wagwan | Repeat guard quests below the bear-area waterfall |
Movement
Wall Climb and Double Jump improve trainer routes and help with Final Selection traversal.
Combat
Keep a safe damage option, a spacing tool, and a defensive response ready before the exam.
Resources
Save Wen and collect style materials before committing to a long trainer questline.
At level 25, choose a Breathing trainer and read the full dialogue before farming. Known material requirements may not include every fee or task in the route.
| Breathing Style | Trainer | Known preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Water | Urokodaki | 5,000 Wen and 30 Demon Horns |
| Flame | Rengu | 10 Demon Horns; other costs are not confirmed |
| Serpent | Obari | 20 Demon Horns and 5 Beast Cores |
| Sound | Tengai | Wall Climb; other costs are not confirmed |
| Insect | Shinora | Butterfly Estate route; cost not confirmed |
| Thunder | Zentaro | Wall Climb; cost not confirmed |
| Stone | Gyorei | Axe and Mace; full cost not confirmed |
| Wind | Saneri | 50 Demon Horns; other costs are not confirmed |
Trainer routes can require different items. Pick your style first, then farm its materials instead of collecting a large inventory for several trainers.
Final Selection Step-by-Step
Final Selection opens at level 45, but around level 60 gives a first solo attempt more room for mistakes. Travel toward Mistfall Harbor, cross toward Butterfly Estate, and follow the long bridge to the Final Selection area. Use the entrance countdown in your server because the repeat schedule is not confirmed.
Prepare Your Loadout
Equip your preferred weapon and Breathing Style, spend available skill points, and bring healing supplies. Keep 25 Wen available for the Bandages objective.
Complete the Early Objectives
Follow The Sisters, Rem, and Vael. Collect the requested fruit, then defeat five Lesser Demons before returning to the correct NPC.
Finish the Utility Tasks
Recover Klien's katana, buy Bandages from Rika, and complete the treatment skill check. Read each objective before leaving the area.
Clear the Dungeon and Rescue Route
Dive into Mizuto's pond cave, collect the Submerged Key, and complete the parkour dungeon. Its lever pattern is one, three, then two.
Defeat the Hand Demon
Capture the camp for Levi, carry the civilian back, then begin Steve's Hand Demon encounter. Clear summoned enemies before attacking the boss again.
| Stage | Important reminder |
|---|---|
| The Sisters | Return here after the Hand Demon for the final turn-in |
| Rem | Collect the apple, banana, and grapes |
| Vael | Defeat five Lesser Demons |
| Klien and Rika | Recover the katana and purchase Bandages |
| Mizuto | Use the Submerged Key for the dungeon |
| Levi | Carry the civilian back after clearing the camp |
| Steve | Start the Hand Demon fight |
| Final reward | Mizunoto rank, Slayer Uniform, Ore, and Kasugai Crow |
Do not leave immediately after defeating the Hand Demon. Return to The Sisters and verify your Mizunoto rank and Crow before moving on.
After Final Selection: Crow, Titles, and Slayer Progress
After the exam, equip your Kasugai Crow and follow its bounty quests while building weapon and Breathing mastery. Character level, mastery, and Slayer Progress are separate systems, so raising one does not automatically finish the others.
Talk to Ren at Butterfly Estate and return his missing blade to unlock the gourd shop. Use gourds after buying them so they contribute to Slayer Progress. At Mistfall Harbor, return Ginzo's Jewelry Box to unlock his shop and sell expendable coin items for training funds.
| Upgrade target | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Crow | Equip it and follow bounty quests |
| Ren's gourds | Buy and use them to raise Slayer Progress |
| Ginzo's shop | Unlock it by returning the Jewelry Box |
| Titles | Equip up to three for their equipped buffs |
| Skill points | Prioritize movement, survival, or your next technique |
Useful titles can develop naturally during normal progression. Odd-Jobber comes from completing 25 quests and provides quest EXP when equipped. Challenger rewards boss defeats, while Hard Hitter tracks total damage. Village Pillar requires a longer quest commitment and offers a stronger quest EXP factor.
Post-Selection Goals:
- Equip the Kasugai Crow and begin bounty quests
- Unlock Ren and use gourds for Slayer Progress
- Return Ginzo's Jewelry Box and review your inventory
- Equip useful Titles for your current activity
- Develop weapon and Breathing mastery together
Choose one improvement at a time: a movement node, a useful technique, stronger equipment, or the next Slayer Progress milestone. Focused farming is easier to measure.
Level 65 Forge Route and FAQ
At level 65, speak with Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village and choose The Forge dialogue. Follow the objective toward the Ouwigahara portal beyond Mistfall Harbor. Reaching level 65 starts the route, but it does not automatically provide a new weapon.
Inspect the Nichirin Forge recipe before farming. Later crafts can require Metal Scrap, Silk Thread, Mythic Refinement Ore, a schematic, a prerequisite weapon, and additional dungeon or currency requirements. Keep materials and existing weapons until you know what your chosen recipe consumes.
| Goal | Location | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Start The Forge | Hidden Mist Village | Speak with Togane at level 65 |
| Reach Ouwigahara | Beyond Mistfall Harbor | Follow the quest objective |
| Choose a craft | Nichirin Forge | Read the recipe first |
| Improve survival | Dungeon runs | Favor reliable damage, defense, and sustain |
| Continue progression | Crow and repeatable quests | Combine mastery with useful rewards |
