How to become a Slayer in Slayers 2

You start as a human. Two things turn you into a Slayer: a breathing style, taught by a trainer once you reach level 25, and a pass through Final Selection, the trial whose gate is marked Race Human.

Everything below is in the order you meet it.

Stage 2: learn a breathing style at 25

Every style unlocks at level 25. After that each trainer asks for something different, usually Demon Horns, sometimes Beast Cores or Wen.

All eight trainers follow the same three beats: hand over the materials, finish the trainer’s training tasks, then beat his trainee. The Water trainee even appears on the world map, as Water Trainee Sabito.

Put points into Wall Climb and Double Jump before you set off. The Thunder trainer stands on a peak you can only climb to, and the breathing checker tells you which of the eight you can pay for right now.

Stage 3: pass Final Selection

The countdown sign over the entrance names only one condition: Race Human. A demon cannot take it, and a Slayer who has already passed cannot take it twice.

The sign says nothing about breathing, but go in with a style unlocked and a couple of moves learned. The full chain of NPCs, the three lives and the boss are on the Final Selection walkthrough.

Stage 4: what being a Slayer gives you

Crow
Once you have passed, a black bird’s head sits in your hotbar. Calling the crow for boss missions is a common way to level after 115.
Crude Iron Ingot
Take it to Yagane the forger. His recipe window asks for one Crude Iron Ingot, is marked Free, and he opens with Choose a pattern. Same weight, same edge.
Slayer Uniform and Ore
The uniform, and one ore to spend in the shop.
Skill drops
World bosses strike their breathing-move drops through with Must be Slayer for anyone who does not qualify. The boss list shows which move each one carries.

Slayer Progress, and the question of ranks

Player Info puts the word Slayer next to your level and adds a second bar, Slayer Progress, with a level of its own. It starts at Lv 1 and does not fill as you level: it can still be empty at character level 124.

Gourds fill it, and they are sold around Butterfly Estate. Ren there sells them once you bring back his missing blade. Prices, the four levels and the Breathing Boost at the top are on the gourds page.

The game does not appear to have ranks above that bar, so treat any Slayer rank table for this game with caution.

Slayer or demon

How earlyLevel 25 for the style, around 45 recommended for the trialSeen as low as level 6
MovesEight breathing stylesBlood Demon Arts, rolled from Muzan

What each side plays like once you are there, and which suits you, is on the Slayer or demon page. Switching later means the shop’s Reset Race, 10 ore or 150 Robux (120 with Roblox Plus). Without it, a Slayer who tries the demon route reportedly gets turned away by Muzan, whatever their reputation. The full demon side is on how to become a demon.
