Project Slayers 2 Breathing Guide
Breathing Styles are swordsmanship techniques used for combat and combo damage. In the available Project Slayers reference, breathing is tied to Total Concentration Breathing, which improves your breath capacity and helps you use skills more consistently.
The reference page includes a Part 2 list with Water Breathing and Serpent Breathing, but most of the detailed trainer locations and costs describe Part 1. Because requirements can change between versions or updates, use the in-game quest window and trainer dialogue to confirm the current values in Project Slayers 2.
Breathing Styles Listed for Project Slayers
The following styles appear in the supplied Project Slayers wiki material:
| Breathing Style | Information available |
|---|---|
| Water Breathing | Listed for Part 1 and Part 2. The Part 1 trainer is Sakonji Urokodaki. |
| Serpent Breathing | Listed under Part 2, but the supplied material does not include trainer or quest requirements. |
| Thunder Breathing | Part 1 style taught by Jigoro Kuwajima. |
| Wind Breathing | Part 1 style taught by Jinger. |
| Insect Breathing | Part 1 style taught by Shinobu Kocho. |
| Flame Breathing | Part 1 style with a listed Ouwohana requirement. |
| Beast Breathing | Part 1 style with a listed Ouwohana requirement. |
| Mist Breathing | Part 1 style with a listed Ouwohana requirement. |
| Snow Breathing | Part 1 style with a lower listed Ouwohana cost than most advanced styles. |
| Sound Breathing | Part 1 style with a higher listed Wen requirement. |
The available material does not provide a complete Project Slayers 2 move list, damage comparison, or cooldown table. For that reason, this guide focuses on access requirements, trainers, and breath progression rather than ranking styles.
How to Get a Breathing Style
The general process is:
- Play as a human character.
- Reach the required level.
- Collect enough Wen and any required items.
- Find the trainer for the style you want.
- Complete the trainer's quest.
- Upgrade your breath capacity so your skills are easier to use.
The reference states that demons cannot obtain the listed breathing styles. It also states that a character with an existing breathing style cannot obtain another one from a trainer.
If a trainer refuses to start the quest, check your level, Wen, required items, race, and whether you already have a breathing style.
Starter World Breathing Requirements
The detailed starter-world requirements in the reference use a minimum level of 12 and a cost of 5,000 Wen.

To pursue Water Breathing, travel to Waroru Cave and look for Sakonji Urokodaki. You need to be at least level 12 and have 5,000 Wen before approaching him.
Thunder Breathing
Jigoro Kuwajima teaches Thunder Breathing at Zapiwara Mountain. The listed entry requirement is level 12 or higher with 5,000 Wen.

Wind Breathing is associated with Jinger. The supplied material names him as the Wind trainer but does not provide a complete location. Check the current NPC markers or quest objectives before searching the map.
Insect Breathing
Shinobu Kocho teaches Insect Breathing at the Butterfly Mansion. The listed requirement is level 12 or higher and 5,000 Wen.
Ouwohana Breathing Requirements
The reference lists additional requirements for styles obtained in Ouwohana. These include higher levels, Wen costs, and demon horns.
| Style | Level | Wen | Demon Horns |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flame Breathing | 75 or higher | 10,000 | 150 |
| Beast Breathing | 75 or higher | 10,000 | 150 |

| Snow Breathing | 75 or higher | 5,000 | 100 |

The supplied information does not name every Ouwohana trainer location. Before traveling, collect the full requirement listed for your chosen style and then follow the quest marker or NPC directions in-game.
Snow Breathing
Snow Breathing has the lowest listed Ouwohana entry cost. You need level 75 or higher, 5,000 Wen, and 100 demon horns.
Flame, Beast, and Mist Breathing
Flame, Beast, and Mist Breathing share the same listed entry requirements: level 75 or higher, 10,000 Wen, and 150 demon horns.
Sound Breathing
Sound Breathing has the highest listed Wen cost among the Ouwohana styles in the supplied reference. The requirements are level 75 or higher, 13,000 Wen, and 150 demon horns.
Part 2 Water and Serpent Breathing
The Project Slayers 2 section of the reference lists Water Breathing and Serpent Breathing. However, it does not include complete trainer locations, quest steps, level requirements, Wen costs, or demon horn requirements for either Part 2 entry.
This means players should check:
- The style or skill menu
- NPC dialogue
- Quest objectives
- The required level shown by the trainer
- Any item or currency requirement displayed before accepting the quest
Do not assume that the Part 1 Water Breathing requirements apply unchanged to Project Slayers 2.
Breath and Total Concentration Training
Breath is the resource used by breathing skills. Increasing your breath capacity reduces the amount of time you need to wait before using abilities again.
The reference describes five progression stages:
| Breath stage | Maximum breath | Main benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Weak Lungs | 75 | Starting stage with low capacity and rapid drain |
| Strong Lungs | 95 | Breath no longer drains according to the listed description |
| Total Concentration Breathing | 115 | Passively regain breath when not using skills |
| Healing Total Concentration Breathing | 125 | Unlock recovery breath and stronger regeneration |
| Complete Total Concentration Breathing | 155 | Gain a rapid dash and a visible style-colored aura |
Weak Lungs
Weak Lungs is the starting breath level. The listed maximum is 75, and breath drains quickly. Using advanced breathing skills at this stage can be difficult because your abilities may become unavailable after only a few attacks.
Strong Lungs
Strong Lungs increases the listed maximum to 95. The reference associates this stage with breaking:
- 3 large gourds
- 7 medium gourds
- 7 small gourds
The listed cost for these gourd tasks is 6,650 Wen.
Total Concentration Breathing
Total Concentration Breathing raises the listed maximum to 115 and allows passive breath recovery when you are not using skills. The reference lists 10 large gourds and 7,000 Wen for this stage.
Healing Total Concentration Breathing
Healing Total Concentration Breathing raises the listed maximum to 125. It also provides recovery breath and improved regeneration. The listed task is 15 large gourds for 10,500 Wen.
Complete Total Concentration Breathing
Complete Total Concentration Breathing raises the listed maximum to 155. It also provides a fast dash and a visible aura whose color is associated with your breathing style.
The reference lists 20 large gourds and 14,000 Wen for this stage. Some of the experience totals in the source do not match the individual gourd values, so use the progress bar and current cost shown in-game when calculating your exact remaining total.
Where to Train Your Breath
The available reference places gourd training at the Butterfly Mansion. If the current Project Slayers 2 version uses the same system, look for the gourd-training interaction there.
Before buying or breaking gourds, check the displayed experience requirement. The listed costs and experience values may be different in Part 2 or after a balance update.
Tips for Choosing a Breathing Style
Choose a style based on the trainer you can reach and the resources you already have. Starter-world styles have lower listed requirements, while Ouwohana styles require more levels, Wen, and demon horns.
A practical progression is:
- Reach level 12.
- Save at least 5,000 Wen.
- Obtain a starter-world style if its trainer is available.
- Train your breath at the Butterfly Mansion.
- Build toward level 75 and collect demon horns for an Ouwohana style.
- Recheck the trainer's requirements before spending your resources.
The supplied material does not establish which style has the highest damage or best PvP performance. Moves, hitboxes, cooldowns, and balance can change, so test the available skills in the current game version.
