How to get Water Breathing in Slayers 2

Urokodaki waits in a room near Bamboo Grove that you reach by swimming through a flooded passage, and the way in is next to a bush you could easily walk past. The route below goes step by step, with a picture of each landmark.

The way in

  1. Step 1

    Head into Bamboo Grove

    The area label goes from Wilderness to Bamboo Grove. At night you may pass the health bar of Sumari, a boss that only fights after dark; it is not part of this route.

  2. Step 2

    Cross the red bridge towards the house

    Run towards the house. A red bridge and gate lead straight to it.

  3. Step 3

    Find the big bush

    By the house stands a large bush, and that is where you need to be. Beyond it, the passage is under water.

  4. Step 4

    Go first person and swim

    Switch to first-person view so you can see the passage, then swim through. Breath bubbles appear over your character while you are under. Keep moving: you can drown if you are slow.

  5. Step 5

    Climb out into the room

    You surface at a ledge with a Wall Climb prompt and come up into a wooden room with shelves. Urokodaki is inside; the top of this page shows the room.

Start from the bear area rather than the starting village; it is closer. The entrance is a water-filled opening below a cliff, near a small island house, by the waterfall past Bamboo Grove Sanctuary. You swim under it to reach the building he is in.

What Urokodaki charges

5,000 Wen
The main price. Have it on you before the swim.
30 Demon Horns, or none
He may ask for them on top of the Wen, or not at all. Farm Demon Horns before the swim if you want to be sure of one trip.
Level 25
No skill-tree unlock is listed, though a Wall Climb prompt comes up as you leave the water.

Urokodaki or Rokuaki?

The prompt over him reads Water Trainer Urokodaki. If you see him called Rokuaki somewhere, it is the same trainer. New to the game? The beginner guide covers the first hours.

Training, and Sabito

Paying starts Water’s training. Its order is unusual: the minigames open with the Parkour Dungeon and finish underwater, before the trainee fight. The training quest page explains each step.

Water is the one style whose trainee has a name of his own: Water Trainee Sabito, a 600-health mini boss with a marker at Bamboo Grove Sanctuary on the world map. He is likely Water’s final training fight, and worth knowing either way: his bar lists Ghost Attendant Outfit at 2% and Scarred Warding Mask at 2%, and he respawns in about two minutes. Demons of level 45 and up can also be sent after him by Muzan.

For a full example, open Stone’s quest tracker in the breathing styles overview.

The Water boss is Giyen

Unlike Thunder, Flame, Sound and Serpent, Water’s world boss does not share the trainer’s name. It is The Water Hashira Giyen (Giyu in the anime), one of several bosses in Bamboo Grove. His spot next to Sabito, his fight and the Unlock Previous rule are on the Giyen boss page.

Buffed, then trimmed

Water has moved twice since launch, once in each direction.

  1. The v.09 patch: a buff

    The patch note reads Buffed Water Breathing, in the same patch that slowed Thunder, without details.

  2. What the buff changed

    Water’s X is now faster, stuns, and can be used while you are stunned, so you can break out of a combo and start your own. Water Wheel stuns too but lost its hyper armour, and Water gained i-frames on its moves.

  3. V0.145: Whirl Pool nerfed

    Whirl Pool was nerfed, trimming its use while stunned; no exact values were given. Water Wheel, Basin and Surface Slash are still strong.

Tier lists after the buff

Two of the three lists put Water in S, one of them naming it the best breathing overall even after the Whirl Pool nerf. The third has it in A. Compare all eight styles in the tier list comparison.

Already on another style and tempted by Water? Read the switching rules first: a reset refunds the skill points you put into the old style.
