How to Get Serpent Breathing in Slayers 2 - Location & Quests

Summon a giant snake!

Serpent Breathing is considered to be one of the best breathing techniques in Slayers 2 due to its strong combo potential and damage. To help you get started, this guide will show you how to find the trainer and what you'll need to get the technique.

You must be at least level 25 to learn Serpent Breathing!

Serpent Breathing Trainer Location

The Serpent Breathing trainer can be found very close to the starting zone, but you will need to have the Wall Climb skill unlocked to reach him. This can be found very early in the Skill Tree and can be unlocked as early as level 4.

The trainer can be found to the east of the starting zone, up in the mountains overlooking the Zuko boss' spawn point. The trainer is unmarked on the map.

Upon climbing the cliff, head towards the boxed area and you'll find him standing in a corner, leaning against a rock wall. He may be a bit hard to spot at night, but he'll always be there.

Requirements for Serpent Breathing

Aside from the level 25 requirement, you'll also need the following items to fully learn this technique:

  • 20 Demon Horns - Dropped by High Demons
  • 5 Beast Cores - Dropped by Beast Born Demons

Neither item is guaranteed to drop, so you'll need to grind for a while.

Once that's done, you'll have to complete the Serpent Breathing Training quest, which requires you to do the following tasks:

  • Meditate
  • Push ups
  • Boulder Split
  • Boulder Push
  • Aim Training
  • Defeat the Serpent Trainee

Each task is marked on your screen, and they are all done at the Butterfly Estate. If you look at the map, this is just to the southwest of where the starting zone is located.

All tasks must be done in the order they are shown, so you will have to start from Meditation all the way to Aim Training.

Once you've done the last training activity, the game will highlight the Serpent Trainee mini-boss on your screen. Head over to his location and defeat him to complete the quest.
