To summon him, place a Flute on the Flesh Hand in that room and wait about two seconds. He has three phases, and Phase 3 only activates if no player has been killed by him during the fight.
Moon Breathing unlock steps

Redeem codes
TipsOn PC or mobile, type the code directly in chat and it activates. On Xbox, press D-pad left, open the menu, go to Dev Products, and type the code there.
- Each code works only once on any given account — a second attempt with the same code does nothing.
- VIP Servers do not save data, so do not redeem codes there or the rewards will be lost when you leave.
- Some codes reset passives, breathing styles, or colors rather than giving items.

Common questions
FAQCan I play without spending Robux?
Yes — becoming a Demon Slayer, forging your Nichirin blade, learning Breathing Styles, and building Reputation all cost nothing. Yen earned by killing NPCs is enough to buy Pillar Skills and other in-game items.
My Reputation went negative. How do I recover it?
Keep killing demon NPCs and demon bosses, since each kill adds positive Reputation. Avoid attacking humans while you recover, because every human kill subtracts 5 more points. If your Reputation drops below -350 you reach Exiled rank, which is the entry point for the Hybrid path.
Why did I lose my progress after playing on a VIP Server?
VIP Servers do not save any data — Reputation, experience, and items gained there are all erased when you leave. Always play on a standard public server when you want your progress to carry over.
How do I get a Flute for Moon Breathing or the Kokushibo raid?
You have two options: kill the Yoriichi Spirit Fragment for a 5% drop chance, or search the map at night where a flute has a 50% chance of spawning at one of 40 different locations.
