Thunder Trainer Zentaro sits on a high plateau in the Verdant Cliffs region of the Wilderness, well above the normal travel paths in Project Slayers 2. He is easy to miss because the route to him is a vertical climb rather than a walk into a village, so you can ride straight past the mountain without realizing the trainer is above you.

Quick answer: Ride west past the Mother Bear spawn and the Obari boss arena into the Wilderness, reach the giant tree at the base of Verdant Cliffs, then use Wall Climb to scale the trunk and cliffs to the flat summit where Zentaro stands.


Requirements before you climb to Zentaro

Two things gate this trip. One is your level, which controls whether Zentaro will train you at all. The other is your movement kit, which controls whether you can physically reach him. Sort both out before you leave the starter area.

  • Level 25 — the minimum to begin Thunder Breathing progression.
  • Wall Climb — the essential ability for scaling the tree trunk and rock faces.
  • Double Jump — helps you reach ledges and branches on the way up.
  • Demon Horns — community reports place the cost in the range of roughly 7 to 10.
  • Wen — a fee is charged at the trainer; reports vary, so confirm the amount in his dialogue.
  • Enough stamina to handle the long vertical climb without falling.

Zentaro will refuse to train you if you already have a breathing style. His line makes it clear he considers running two at once dangerous, so you need to reset your existing style before he will teach Thunder Breathing.


Route to Thunder Trainer Zentaro in Verdant Cliffs

The general path runs from the starter area out through the Wilderness to the base of the Verdant Cliffs mountain, then straight up. A horse mount speeds up the flat portion considerably.

In the wilderness near the starting village, begin by the Mother Bear and Bear Cub spawn. Travel west toward the red Torii gates.

Go through the Torii gates, then pass the Obari boss arena, where the fight is called The Suspicion King. Obari is optional on the route to Zentaro; continue onward without defeating him unless you want to take part in that event.
Push deeper into the Wilderness until you reach the base of the Verdant Cliffs mountain, where giant tree trunks meet sheer cliff walls. Look for the massive tree leaning against the rock face.

Face the giant tree and activate Wall Climb to start scaling the vertical trunk. The prompt appears when you are close enough to a climbable surface.

Work your way up the higher rock walls and tree branches, hopping between ledges. Use flat surfaces and branches as recovery points so you do not run out of stamina mid-climb and drop.

Keep climbing until the vertical route opens onto the flat, open plateau at the summit. Zentaro is standing there.

How to confirm you reached the right trainer

Once on the plateau, find the NPC with the Thunder Trainer Zentaro nameplate. Some community coverage refers to this trainer as Jigoro Kuwajima as well, but the interaction works the same way: approach the NPC and the chat prompt should appear.

If the prompt does not show up, check your height before assuming the trainer is missing. It is common to stop on a lower cliff section that looks like the top and stand at the wrong elevation. Keep climbing until you are on the fully flat plateau, then approach again. Once the chat prompt triggers and Zentaro responds, you are in the right spot and the Thunder Breathing path is open to you.
