Find Serpent Trainer Obari above spawn, reach level 25, hand over Demon Horns and Beast Cores, and complete his training to unlock Snake Breathing.
Snake Breathing also goes by Serpent Breathing in Slayers 2, the game also known as Project Slayers 2. Getting to its trainer means climbing into the cliffs, so you’ll need Wall Climb before making the ascent.
How to reach Serpent Trainer Obari from spawn
Start near Windy Peak and climb the cliffs overlooking the starting area to reach Obari’s sheltered ledge.
STEP 1/6

Locate the starting area
Open your map and use Windy Peak and Bamboo Grove to get your bearings. The grassy starting courtyard is to the southeast of Windy Peak, with Bamboo Grove to its south; another nearby map marker is Muko-Sama’s Bandit Hide.
STEP 2/6

Approach the stone wall
Make your way toward the steep rock face on the starter and Mother Bear side. Starting in the courtyard, head south and pass through the red torii gate toward Bamboo Grove, keeping the Wilderness cliffs on your right.
STEP 3/6
50%
Find Wall Climb in the skill tree
Open Skill Tree through your inventory and locate Innate Skills → Wall Climb. The displayed character-specific heading reads Character, Water and Agatsuma, with Wall Climb already unlocked.
STEP 4/6
67%
Climb across the upper ledges
Use Wall Climb to ascend the rock faces, crossing the grassy ridges between climbs. Continue toward the higher plateau. The demonstrated movement combines Double Jump with climbing.
STEP 5/6
83%
Drop into the cliffside alcove
Look for a narrow gap along the upper rock formation, then descend onto the lower ledge inside it and follow the narrow cliffside path. Obari stands beside the rock wall in this recess, with spawn directly below.
STEP 6/6
100%
Speak with Serpent Trainer Obari
Approach the NPC whose nameplate reads Serpent Trainer Obari and interact. This is the trainer’s ledge and the destination of the climb.
Meet Obari’s level and material requirements
Serpent Breathing is a human breathing style, and Obari won’t speak to you below level 25. Reaching his ledge alone won’t start training: you must supply his materials and complete the questline. An outright Yen purchase cannot replace level 25, Demon Horns and Beast Cores, or Obari’s training questline.
Materials and where to farm them
| Material | Where to collect it |
|---|---|
| Demon Horns | High Demons in Iceveil Valley drop them. Demons in the snowy area left of the bear zone also drop horns, sometimes yielding two per kill. |
| 5 Beast Cores | Use your compass to head north toward the villages, then farm demons nearby until you have five cores. |
Complete Obari’s training and buy your forms
Turn in both materials to activate Serpent Breathing Training at 0/6. Next come the six training tasks Obari assigns: each has its own minigame at a different location around the map.
Work through Obari’s sequence of training minigames as you move between sites. That includes meditation and push-ups, so part of your training takes you to Butterfly Estate or nearby.
The style’s unlocked; its moves aren’t. Spend skill points to buy its individual forms.
