Updated September 24, 2026: Added Tai Chi, Soryu, and Reaper trainers, fishing NPCs, Betty, crafting services, and the quests offered by Shiro and Retsu. Clarified Muzan’s Art rolls and removed outdated location placeholders.
Finding the right trainer in Slayers 2 can be harder than defeating whatever is waiting at the end of their quest. This Slayers 2 trainer and NPC location guide covers all eight Breathing trainers, the Tai Chi, Soryu, and Reaper trainers, Muzan, quest NPCs, fishing vendors, and crafting services. Check the locations and requirements below before setting off. Walking across the map twice because you forgot five Beast Cores is not a training method I recommend.
All Trainer Locations in Slayers 2
Breathing Styles unlock through trainer questlines, starting at level 25. Find your chosen trainer, check their resource requirements, then complete their training. Blood Demon Arts follow a different acquisition route, covered below.
All Breathing Trainer Locations in Slayers 2
Use the table to find your trainer’s area, then check the nearby landmarks. Unlock Wall Climb and Double Jump before heading out, especially for the mountain routes. A trainer and a trainee are different NPCs: one starts your training, while the other is a combat encounter. Make sure you are talking to the right person before wondering why your quest will not progress.
| Trainer & Breathing Style | Location & Requirements |
|---|---|
| Trainer NPC: Rengu Breathing: Flame Breathing | Location: House by the long red bridge on the route out of Mistfall Village. The trainer is on the roof behind the house. Requirements: Level 25; 10 Demon Horns. |
| Trainer NPC: Shinora Breathing: Insect Breathing | Location: Butterfly Estate (also called Butterfly Mansion). Approach from Mistfall Harbor. The trainer is on the roof of the main white building inside the Estate. Requirements: Level 25; materials/cost: TBA. |
| Trainer NPC: Gyorei Breathing: Stone Breathing | Location: Take the lower route from the bear area, toward the Stone training area. Stay on the lower path instead of taking the mountain climb toward Thunder. Requirements: Level 25; Axe and Mace required for the style; 5 Beast Cores. |
| Trainer NPC: Zentaro Breathing: Thunder Breathing | Location: Take the mountain route beyond the bear area. Continue past the nearby boss area, then climb the uphill section toward the trainer. Wall Climb is required to reach the top. The trainer is located on the highest peak in Hidden Mist Village. Requirements: Level 25; Climbing for access; 10 Demon Horns. |
| Trainer NPC: Urokodaki Breathing: Water Breathing | Location: Hidden passage near Bamboo Grove and the small island house. Look below the cliff for the house, find the water-filled opening nearby, and swim through to the trainer. Keep moving so you do not drown. Requirements: Level 25; 5,000 Wen; 30 Demon Horns. |
| Trainer NPC: Saneri Breathing: Wind Breathing | Location: Snowy biome (Iceveil Valley), approached from the bear area. He is standing on a platform in the middle of the water. To reach the platform, follow the fallen tree that leads from the Shrine toward it. Requirements: Level 25; 50 Demon Horns. |
| Trainer NPC: Tengai Breathing: Sound Breathing | Location: Iceveil Valley, in the snowy region. You'll be losing health rapidly while you're there, so you have limited time. The trainer is at the top of a small island north of the Shrine in Iceveil Valley. Requirements: Level 25; Wall Climb for access; 10 Demon Horns. |
| Trainer NPC: Obari Breathing: Serpent Breathing | Location: Cliff north of Windy Peak, the starting village. Climb above the settlement and look around the top for Obari. Requirements: Level 25; 20 Demon Horns; 5 Beast Cores. |
The material amounts above are not necessarily the entire training bill. Check your trainer’s dialogue before spending your Wen; remaining fees and Insect’s exact material costs are TBA. For the Iceveil routes, use campfires to build cold protection. An Emberheart Lantern also protects you from the cold, which makes exploring for Sound, Wind, and Reaper much less painful.
Bring the resources for your chosen style, then follow its training objectives. Reaching the trainer does not unlock the moveset by itself. For help choosing, see our Slayers 2 Breathing Styles tier list.
Tai Chi, Soryu, and Reaper Trainer Locations
These trainers teach Fighting Styles. Tai Chi is for Slayers; Soryu and Reaper are for Demons. Unlock fishing before starting their trials, since each includes a Common Fish objective.
| Trainer & Style | Location & Requirements |
|---|---|
| Tai Chi Expert Renjiro Tai Chi | Location: Hidden Mist Village. Head northwest from Windy Peak, descend into the village, and check the trainer’s hut. Requirements: Slayer; level 65. Complete the Tai Chi Trial. |
| Soryu Expert Kazuma Soryu | Location: Seasons Crossing near Mistfall Harbor. Look on the roof of the waterfront building beneath the bridge and its platforms. Requirements: Demon; fishing unlocked. The exact level gate is TBA: reports disagree between 62 and 65, so plan for 65 if he will not offer the trial. |
| Harvester of Souls Zurinyz Reaper | Location: Northeastern Iceveil Settlement, in a hut near a campfire. Requirements: Demon; level 100. Complete the Reaper Trial. Bring cold protection. |
For Kazuma’s trial, the Soryu Scroll is in the flooded cave behind the nearby waterfall. Soryu Trainee Goki is farther away in Veilfall Cavern, behind another waterfall. Finding the scroll does not mean you have reached the trainee.
Blood Demon Art NPCs and How to Obtain Arts
Muzan starts your Demon progression at −40 reputation, and you need to look for him at night. He moves around, so search the surrounding paths as well as the initial spawn area. Once you transform, use the Biwa Bell to return to Muzan’s lair and speak to him for Evil Art rolls. Use the orb you receive to begin its training quest.
| NPC or Progression Step | Location & Requirements |
|---|---|
| Muzan Demon progression | Search areas: Mistfall Harbor, Iceveil Valley, and Hidden Mist Village at night. Requirement: −40 reputation. Complete his quest and consume Muzan’s Blood to transform. |
| Dr. Higoshima Muzan’s quest | Location: Hidden Mist Village; follow the red objective marker after accepting Muzan’s quest. Exact unmarked approach: TBA. Task: Capture and deliver him. Keep moving past the pursuing enemies. |
| Evil Art acquisition | Where to roll: Muzan’s lair, reached with the Biwa Bell after transformation. Process: Ask Muzan for power, obtain an Evil Art Orb, then use it to begin training. Current roll cost and individual training routes: TBA; check the dialogue before spending spins. |
| Blood Manipulation Sickle weapon requirement | Weapon: Sickles. Weapon farming location: Hoyuzo, the Sickle Reaper, in the cave below the bear area. Current drop chance and full Art quest route: TBA. |
For Muzan, check the ramps around Ginzo in Mistfall Harbor, the Clothing Shop/Tengai boss area in Iceveil Valley, and the lowest wooden paths beneath the fog in Hidden Mist Village. These are search areas, not guaranteed spawn points. See our Demon progression guide for map images and the full quest.
The Art roster covered here is Arrow, Dream Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Shockwave, Tamari, Blood Manipulation, Obi Manipulation, and Pyrokinesis (previously called Explosive Blood in this guide). Reaper is a Fighting Style; its trainer is listed above. Check our Slayers 2 Blood Demon Arts tier list before spending your rolls. Art-specific quest directions are coming soon.

How to Find Your Next Quest NPC
Talk to Kona in Windy Peak and finish Recover the Lost Pages. All five pages are inside the starting village. Return them to Kona for the Book of Guidance, which points you toward your next recommended quest and NPC. This is the first errand I would finish before heading off to explore. Slayers 2 is confusing enough without voluntarily throwing away your directions.
If you are missing a page, our Slayers 2 Lost Pages locations guide has screenshots of all five spots. Collecting the pages is only half the job: remember to return to Kona for the reward.

What to Do if an NPC Is Missing in Slayers 2
First, check the location’s height: a trainer may be above a cliff or beyond an underwater passage. Then check your active objective, level, and previous quest turn-in. For Muzan, wait until night and search along his route. For Final Selection, check the entrance’s opening status. For the Ghost Fisherman, return at night with the Drowned Lure. If the area has not loaded properly, try rejoining.
If every NPC is missing on a private server, ask the owner or a moderator to check the PvE setting. /pve off removes NPCs, while /pve on enables them again. Our Slayers 2 private server commands guide explains the controls. Sometimes the missing trainer is a server setting, not another secret cave.
