Slayers 2 — Getting started in Windy Peak

Windy Peak is where everything begins. Your first three jobs are buying a sword from Rays, picking up the lost pages quest from Kona, and delivering items to the right NPCs in the right order. Skipping a delivery step can lock you out of later quests even if your level is high enough. Once you have the Guide Book, navigation becomes much easier.

1. Buy a sword visit Rays's sword shop; the Regular Katana costs 500 Wen and the Fancy Katana costs 1,500 Wen.
2. Accept the pages quest talk to Kona to start Recover the Lost Pages, then hunt down all five within the village.
3. Equip and use your sword equipping it is not enough; you have to fight with it to build sword mastery.
4. Complete Kazu's delivery take the memo you earn from Kazu's quest to Noote. Skipping this step keeps Chaka's quest locked.
5. Grind Crew bandits repeat the quest to kill three Crew bandits until you reach around level 7, then move on to Zuko's quests.

Breathing styles become available starting at level 25, but they do not unlock automatically when you hit that level. You need to meet the level requirement, gather enough Wen, and collect the required materials before a master will train you. Water Breathing, for example, requires level 25, 5,000 Wen, and 30 Demon Horns. The Water Breathing master is in a hidden spot reached by passing through a waterway near a small island close to Bamboo Grove. Arriving at the master is not the finish line — check the training tasks and work through them.

1. Prepare before you travel confirm you have the required level, Wen, and materials so you are not turned away at the master's location.
2. Know who is who the master who starts your training and the student you fight during training are different characters.
3. Build mastery through use your overall character level and your Breathing mastery are tracked separately. Use the style in actual combat to raise its mastery.
4. Spend points after learning open the skill tree once you have learned the style and assign points to the specific techniques you want.

The Final Selection opens at level 45. The venue is on the western side of the map, past Butterfly Estate. Inside, you follow the twin guides' quests in order, then speak to Steve before the Hand Demon fight. Hand Demon calls in additional enemies during the battle, and hitting Hand Demon while those enemies are still alive does nothing. Clear the summoned enemies first, then turn your attention to the boss.

1. Check your entry confirm you are at least level 45, watch the entrance countdown, and know where to wait.
2. Talk to Steve have that conversation before the Hand Demon fight begins, not after.
3. Kill the summoned enemies first damage to Hand Demon does not register while called enemies are still standing.
4. Report to the twins after Hand Demon goes down, return to the first twin guides and follow through until you confirm you have received the uniform and the crow.
