Build Demon Progress alongside character levels
Kills made as a demon contribute to Demon Progress. The level 62–75 Mizunoto Slayers award 10 Demon Progress per kill, while the stated boss reward is 25. The Heyozo-stage enemies are an exception to a blanket soul-farming rule.
Open Player Info and choose Progression to see the Demon Progress bar. One displayed Level 2 screen reads 1035/3000 and shows +50 Max Health, +0.1 Illumination, and +0.05 Max Health Factor. That screen gives you a concrete way to recognize the track as you level.
Choose damage gear and a starting demon weapon
Inventory tooltips show the statistics that matter when assembling your gear. A mask comes from water trainer Sabito, whose location appears on the map. Demonic Lantern can appear in boss chests, while an unnamed raid or dungeon accessory in the showcased setup can be replaced with another accessory that adds damage. The Silver Fang Mask has its own Archives entry with drop sources.
Displayed equipment statistics
| Equipment | Rarity and class | Displayed stats |
|---|---|---|
| Bamboo Muzzle | Mythic; Duelist | +2 Additional Damage; 1.01x Additional Damage Factor; +160 Max Health; +40 Max Stamina |
| Demonic Lantern | Mythic; Duelist | +2 Additional Damage; 1.01x Additional Damage Factor; +0.8 Illumination; +105 Max Health; +45 Max Stamina |
| Nightfall Sickles Tier 1 | Mythic | +8.05 Additional Damage; 1.15x Additional Damage Factor; +7.95 Block Points; +2.11x Block Regen; +5 Max Stamina |
| Scarred Warding Mask | Legendary; Duelist | +2 Additional Damage; +60 Max Health; +30 Max Stamina |
| Stone Haori | Legendary; Duelist | +2 Additional Damage; 1.02x Additional Damage Factor; +150 Max Health; +80 Max Stamina |
| Straw Fringe Hat | Legendary; Titan | +170 Max Health; +45 Max Stamina; Sun Immunity |
For a Sickles route, start with Normal Sickles or Blood Sickles. Blood Sickles deal more damage; Gyutaro beneath spawn, beside water and tall cliffs, has a stated 7% drop chance for them. Blood and Sickles had received a nerf at the time of this route. Other weapon examples include war fans, Scythe, claws, gauntlets, and umbrella. Choose the original version of the weapon you plan to develop.
Level from the starting area to 90
Early quest route and rewards
| Level band | Quest and location | Targets and rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Start–10 | Starter village missions, then Krue near Windy Peak | Zako bandits; a five-soul reward, Weak Soul drops, and mastery |
| 10–26 | Tom in the bamboo area | Mother Bear and Bear Cubs; souls and EXP |
| 26–40 | Chaka beside a red torii post | Kaiden and his subordinates in the open camp; souls and usable claws |
| 40–62 | Wagwan in the cave behind a waterfall | Heyozo and his subordinates; Normal Sickles and a tornado move, but no souls from these enemies |
| 62–75 | Shady Individual Rooyi near the village edge, behind a wooden building | Mizunoto Slayers on sandy training grounds; Strong Souls and XP, followed by the quest’s return objective |
| 75–90 | Demon Mokuro beside the waterfall ledge near Butterfly Estate | NPC hunts in the watery cave, including Kanoe Demon Slayers; soul progress |
The early demon quests follow the same sequence used for Slayers. Use each quest’s directions and the world map to move between the named areas; the route changes from village and bamboo fights to waterfalls, harbor training grounds, and finally the cave near Butterfly Estate.
Kills made as a demon build Demon Progress.
Get and charge a lantern for the snow region
The Demonic Lantern is your preparation for the snow quests. A Frozen Heart lets you summon the Yeti, whose defeat provides a route to the lantern. Overworld rare chests sit in the open with three cache lancers guarding them; clear the guards before opening a chest for its crafting loot. The Archives shows the Frozen Heart’s acquisition sources.
Frozen Heart acquisition sources
| Frozen Heart source | Drop rate or acquisition |
|---|---|
| Black Marketer | Purchase |
| Rare Chest | 10% |
| Sealed Cache T1 | 10% |
| Sealed Cache T2 | 10% |
| Sealed Cache T3 | 10% |
At the snow village, the campfire replenishes the lantern’s warmth gauge. A full charge holds 10 minutes of warmth.
Finish the snow quests and reach level 225
With the lantern ready, continue into Iceveil Valley. The next two quest givers carry you across the snowy mountain and woods before Muzan’s bounties become the level 125–225 route.
Snow quests and bounty leveling
| Level band | Destination and quest | Objective |
|---|---|---|
| 90–105 | Demon Delroy in Iceveil Valley’s snowy mountain region | Defeat eight Kanoe Demon Slayers spread across nearby snowy slopes for EXP |
| 105–125 | The next quest giver beside a huge tree trunk in the snowy woods | Kill demons |
| 125–225 | Muzan’s Lair bounty board | Repeat boss elimination bounties to reach character level 225 |
Reach the bounty board through Muzan’s Lair and its upper pagoda platform. Those fights provide EXP, Yen, and crafting materials as you work toward the character-level endpoint. Keep the crafting costs in mind while spending: the bounty rewards contribute Yen, while the weapon recipes have their own material and currency requirements.
Displayed boss bounty payouts
| Bounty target | EXP | Yen |
|---|---|---|
| Shinora | 2,100 | 1,980 |
| Zentaro | 1,650 | 1,485 |
| Rengu | 2,100 | 1,890 |
| Giyen | 1,650 | 1,485 |
These are the bounty board’s payouts for the named targets. The bosses also serve the later weapon grind through their drops and materials.
Craft a V2 weapon at Ouwigahara
V2 starts with your weapon’s original V1 form. For Damascus Sickles, bring Normal Sickles or Blood Sickles as the base weapon. Scythe is another demonstrated V1 example; the dungeon reforge menu contains Damascus weapon paths.
Blacksmith Togane’s quest sends you toward the Ouwigahara fortress. Once inside, dungeon clears earn points, and Togane’s reforge menu sits in the weapons area. The displayed Mythic Damascus Sickles recipe takes 90,000 points alongside its listed weapon and materials. After earning the points, follow the reset-and-return sequence before using that menu to forge the V2 weapon.
Refine your forged weapon toward level 10
Refinement levels are separate from V3 crafting tiers. Refiner Hagane raises the level of a forged weapon using Mythic Refinement Ore, with refinement extending to level 10. The displayed Nightfall Sickles level 5-to-6 attempt has a 32.5% success chance. Refinement guards can mitigate downgrade penalties.
Refinement raises base damage from 6 to as much as 17.25 at level 10. Character level 225 finishes the leveling route, while the forge’s later tiers and Hagane’s refinement attempts remain their own work.
