Insect Breathing is one of the eight Breathing Styles in Project Slayers 2, and like every other style, it is locked behind a single NPC hidden somewhere on the map. That NPC is Insect Trainer Shinora, and plenty of players walk straight past him because he is not standing at ground level with the rest of the estate’s residents.
Quick answer: Travel west of Mistfall Harbor to Butterfly Estate, then climb onto the roof of the main estate building. Insect Trainer Shinora sits on the roof ledge with a chat prompt.
Insect Trainer Shinora location: Butterfly Estate roof
Butterfly Estate, sometimes referred to as Butterfly Mansion, is impossible to mistake once you are inside it. The whole zone sits under a purple haze with wisteria trees ringing the grounds, and a “Butterfly Estate” marker with a butterfly icon pops up when you arrive.

There is no single entrance. The estate sits in a valley below a ring of high cliffs, so most routes end the same way, with a drop off a ledge into the purple fog. Pick whichever starting point you are closest to.
From Bamboo Grove


From the Mistfall Harbor spawn

From Beginner Village
From Beginner Village, take the path out toward the estate side of the map. A stretch of large boulders confirms you are still on course; continue past it, then descend the cliff. Keep moving until the Butterfly Estate marker appears.
Unlocking the Climbing skill in your skill tree makes several trainer locations far less painful to reach, including the cliff walls around this valley.
How to reach Shinora on the roof

What to check before you start the training
Finding Shinora and unlocking the style are two different jobs. Every Breathing Style has its own level and material costs, and the trainer’s dialogue is where those exact numbers are listed. Open the chat first, note what he asks for, then go farm.
- Breathing training in Project Slayers 2 generally starts around level 25.
- Demon Horns are a common material requirement, farmed from demons in the snowy region.
- Trainers also charge a fee to begin the questline.
- Training questlines typically mix minigames with a fight against that style’s trainee.
You can visit Shinora and read his requirements long before you can afford them. Locating the trainer early saves you a second trip across the map later.
Shinora is not the only trainer perched somewhere awkward, either. The Flame Breathing trainer stands on the roof of an isolated hut out past the harbor, so if you are collecting trainer locations as you explore, get in the habit of looking up.
