Slayers 2 Wind Breathing: Trainer Location and How to Obtain It

In Slayers 2 (Project Slayers 2), Wind Breathing is Sanemi Shinazugawa’s style and one of the costlier styles to obtain. There’s no way to purchase, spin for, or trade for it. Instead, gather a large supply of Demon Horns, travel north to a snowy area that drains your health while you remain there, and finish six training quests, ending with a duel.

Quick answer: Get to Level 25 and collect 50 Demon Horns. Then locate Wind Trainer Saneri on the snowy shelf beneath the Iceveil Valley path, finish all six of his training tasks, and defeat the Wind Trainee.

Wind Breathing requirements in Slayers 2

Level 25 is the requirement for every Breathing Style, with each trainer also demanding their own materials. Wind is among the most expensive options. At the same level, Flame costs 10 Demon Horns, while Serpent requires 20 Demon Horns and 5 Beast Cores.

Requirement	Value
Level	25
Materials	50 Demon Horns
Trainer	Wind Trainer Saneri (shown as Sanemi, Sanori or Seren in some builds)
Region	Iceveil Valley, the snow area past the bear region

Sort a few things out before you leave the warm part of the map:

Equip a katana. A Regular Katana or Fancy Katana from Raze’s Sword Shop both work.
Unlock Wall Climb in the skill tree so the snowy mountain routes are less painful.
Make Iceveil Settlement your spawn point; the valley’s cold continually damages you.
Bring enough levels and skill points to handle snow enemies and beat the Wind Trainee.
If you have another style already, reset Breathing through the Shop menu for 7 Ore.

Where to farm 50 Demon Horns

Demon-type enemies can drop Demon Horns, and Bamboo Grove’s cave is the quickest farming spot. Talk to Wagwan, repeatedly clear Hoyuzo Subordinates, and defeat Hoyuzo—the boss at the cave’s rear—between waves. High Demons in the snow around Iceveil also have a chance to drop horns, but cold damage steadily drains your health there, making this route slower in practice.

Count your horns before departing. If you reach the trainer with too few, the questline won’t be offered, and the trip back across the valley takes considerable time.

Wind Trainer Saneri location in Iceveil Valley

Saneri is positioned beneath the main snowy path, making him easy to miss if you stay on the route. You begin in Windy Peak’s starter highlands, beside quest giver Krue and the red torii gate. Start your journey there.

Leave the starter area along the dirt trail, pass through the red torii gates one after another, and descend into Bamboo Grove past the Mother Bear spawns. Dash and use your mobility skills to get there faster.

Starting Area & Explanation — The trainer sits in the snow area near the Doma boss, reached by heading out from the starter torii gates. Shown at 00:15 in OP GAME GUIDES’s video. Image: Project Slayers

Make for the snowy mountains and pass beneath the wooden torii gates at Iceveil Valley’s entrance. The area inflicts cold damage over time if you lack a lantern. Keep an eye on your health bar, and use the scattered campfires to warm up when it begins to fall.

Keep to the elevated snowy path and the bridges that join it; don’t drop down into the valley. At the fork, choose the left-hand route.

Continue through Iceveil Settlement without stopping. The Sound Breathing trainer and world boss Tengai are located there, but this isn’t your destination. Set your spawn point as you pass, then carry on.

Go beyond the back torii gate, leave the path, and descend to the isolated snowy shelf near the frozen water. Wind Trainer Saneri stands alone on a square plateau below. One way players get there is to climb the cliff around the perimeter and drop into the basin behind the plateau.

An entirely empty ledge likely means the area didn’t load correctly. Rejoin the server, and Saneri should appear.

The six Wind Breathing training tasks

Once you’re carrying 50 Demon Horns, speak with Saneri to begin the six-task Wind Breathing questline. If his dialogue won’t advance, you’re usually short on either the level or horn requirement; the conversation checks both.

Visit the dojo at Butterfly Estate and start the push-up exercise. A circular marker travels around a ring; press the input when it reaches the highlighted section. Missing the timing only pauses progress rather than failing you.

Leave the dojo and take on the boulder split. Strike the highlighted points as the white and green reticles come into line. Keep up a steady pace during this timed challenge instead of waiting for perfect alignment.

Move the boulder through the narrow winding track, which has wooden obstacles along it. Position yourself carefully at every turn rather than relying on speed; get behind the rock again to keep it from getting stuck against a wall.

Do the target-shooting exercise at the wooden wall. Targets appear one after another across the boards, and you need to click each one before it disappears. Quick reactions are the main requirement.

Stand on the balance bar and meditate. Keep stopping the moving slider in the gauge’s highlighted area, repeating the action until the bar is full.

Return to the snowy ground above the valley and challenge the Wind Trainee. Breathing abilities are still locked, so you only have basic katana M1 combos and parries. Beating him completes the questline.

How to confirm Wind Breathing unlocked

Check for the result in either of two ways: Wind Breathing appears as a skill-tree branch with Mountain Wind available to buy, and your equipped nichirin blade changes to green, the style’s color. Defeating the Wind Trainee also gives you a reward chest that may contain Fujiko’s Lantern or Kasumi Hakata, among other items.

You can check even sooner: if the training quest becomes your active objective as soon as you speak with Saneri, you met the requirements and the questline has started.

Wind Breathing skills and mastery costs

Kaze no kokyū—Wind Breathing—uses circular swordplay and sweeping gusts. Its forms are almost all offensive, unleashing whirlwind-like slashes that extend well beyond normal sword reach. Their broad range makes the cold journey worthwhile.

Skill	Wind Mastery	Skill points
Mountain Wind	Unlock	3
Purifying Claws	14	6
Rising Dust Storm	27	9
Whirlwind Cutter	40	12
Idaten Typhoon	53	15

Mastery increases only when a Wind Breathing ability lands a hit. Purchase Mountain Wind as soon as you can and use it to start fights. Hoyuzo Subordinates and Mother Bears are safer early targets; Kasugai Crow jobs, including the Reaper contract, provide a steady, ordered flow of enemies while your mastery bar fills.

Idaten Typhoon requires Mastery 53, 15 skill points, and a drop from the Sanemi boss, so mastery by itself won’t unlock it. The reward gives you its standard attack and a charged aerial slash shown with a full cutscene animation.

Farming the Sanemi boss for the Wind Katana

At Mistfall Harbor, Sanemi Shinazugawa is the best boss for Wind Mastery EXP and the sole source of the style’s signature gear. Expect to win multiple times; a 4x Luck boost increases the chance of rarer drops. His loot table contains the Legendary Wind Katana, the Wind Slayer Uniform, the Mythic Wind Haori, and the drop required for Idaten Typhoon.

Keep Windstorm Vigor Mode active and chain your forms rather than leaning on M1 strings. Each victory adds mastery and rolls another set of drops.

To recreate Sanemi’s full look, use the character menu to roll the Shinazugawa clan before entering the world. The clan is Mythic-tier, with passives including Marechi’s Blade and Windstorm Vigor Mode; these speed up early fights and Demon Horn farming. In customization, select swept white hair, add scars to the cheeks and forehead, choose the eye style, and equip the Demon Slayer uniform. The Wind Haori and Wind Slayer Uniform from later boss drops can be layered over this initial appearance.

Final Selection and the Demon Slayer title

Learning Wind Breathing does not grant the Demon Slayer title on its own. You earn that through Final Selection, entered via the gate after speaking with the guide sisters. During the trial, collect fruit for Rem, defeat five Lesser Demons for Vael, and retrieve Klien’s Nichirin Katana before treating him in the medical minigame.

The second half plays out in a dungeon. Defeat Lost Slayer in the underwater cave to grab the Submerged Key, clear the spike parkour, and flip the levers to reach Mizuto before the Hand Demon. Since he keeps calling in minions, open with Whirlwind Cutter or Rising Dust Storm to clear them, then save single-target burst for the boss. Winning grants the Mizunoto rank, the Demon Slayer Corps uniform, and a Kasugai Crow.

Once you hold that rank and carry the Wind Katana, the build is effectively complete. The only job left is farming mastery from the Sanemi boss until Idaten Typhoon appears at the bottom of the skill tree.
