Why Thunder Breathing Matters
Thunder Breathing is built around quick movement and electrified slashes, making it important for players who want a fast, aggressive breathing style. In Project Slayers 2, learning it requires reaching a trainer on the summit of Verdant Cliffs and completing training tasks.
The Project Slayers Wiki labels Thunder Breathing as closed-beta content, so details may change before the final product. Community video guides and the current written guide identify the trainer and route differently from the older beta page, so use the in-game trainer prompt to confirm you have reached the correct NPC.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Breathing style | Thunder Breathing |
| Focus | High-speed movements and electrocuting slashes |
| Sword color | Yellow |
| Wiki status | Closed-beta content |
| Wiki trainer listing | Jigoro Kuwajima |
| Current guide trainer listing | Thunder Trainer Zentaro |
| Current trainer level tag | Lvl. 25+ |
Thunder Breathing is described as a style that mimics lightning through swift strikes, rapid movement, techniques, and abilities. Its attacks are presented as fast ways to pressure enemies and create opportunities to continue a combo.
Requirements Before Starting
Prepare for the journey before leaving the starting area. The route to Verdant Cliffs includes climbing sections that cannot be completed without the needed movement abilities.
| Requirement | What the sources say |
|---|---|
| Level | At least level 4 |
| Movement abilities | Double jump and wall climbing |
| Demon horns | Roughly 7 to 10 |
| Currency | Wen for the training cost |
| Trainer range | Zentaro is marked Lvl. 25+ |
The written guide recommends bringing horns and Wen before the trip because returning from the climbing route is a long detour. A video guide similarly estimates about seven to ten demon horns and mentions a Wen requirement, but does not provide a confirmed cost.
Before you go, make sure you can:
- Double jump.
- Wall climb.
- Carry demon horns.
- Bring Wen for training.
- Handle a long run and several vertical climbing segments.
Do not treat the trainer’s level tag as a confirmed player-level requirement. The available source says the trainer is marked Lvl. 25+ and that the tasks are likely tuned for that range. The stated hard requirement for the route is level 4 because that is when double jump and wall climbing are available.
Finding the Thunder Trainer
The current route begins at Windy Path near the shrine and travels through Bamboo Grove, Wilderness, and Verdant Cliffs. The goal is the flat summit of Verdant Cliffs, where the guide says Thunder Trainer Zentaro stands in the open.
| Route step | Landmark or action |
|---|---|
| Start | Red torii gate on Windy Path near the shrine |
| Bamboo Grove | Follow the torii gates along the dirt path |
| Crossing | Dash across the red torii-style bridge |
| Midpoint | Pass the Serpent King Obari world event |
| Wilderness | Drop past the waterfall to the lower cliff path |
| Verdant Cliffs | Climb the massive vertical tree trunk |
| Summit | Continue over cliff faces, branches, ledges, and rock walls |
Follow the first part of the route carefully:
- Start at the red torii gate on Windy Path, near the shrine.
- Go down the stone steps toward Wilderness and Bamboo Grove.
- Run through the torii gates in Bamboo Grove and cross the red torii-style bridge.
- Continue past the Serpent King Obari world event instead of stopping to fight it.
- At the river stream in Wilderness, jump down past the waterfall edge to the lower cliff path.
After reaching the lower cliff path, continue the climb:
- Keep moving toward the tall stone pillars and enter Verdant Cliffs.
- Find the base of the large vertical tree trunk and climb it with repeated jumps and wall climbs.
- Climb the steep grassy cliff face, use the overhead branch as a resting point, and continue around the cliff.
- Cross narrow ledges, climb the slanted rock walls, and finish the final tree trunk section.
- Reach the flat summit and approach the trainer.
Stamina drains while climbing. Pause on flat surfaces or branches when you need to refill it. If you fall during the ascent, the guide says you will often land on lower ledges rather than all the way at the bottom, so check where you land before restarting the route.
To confirm the correct NPC, walk close enough for the Thunder Trainer Chat prompt. The written guide says the name plate reads Thunder Trainer Zentaro and shows a Lvl. 25+ tag. If no prompt appears, you may be on the wrong ledge or standing too far away.
Training and Thunder Moves
A video guide says the trainer sends players to Butterfly Mansion for a set of training activities. The source lists the activities but does not explain their individual objectives or rewards.
| Listed training activity | Source detail |
|---|---|
| Meditation | Required training activity |
| Cup training | Required training activity |
| Push-ups | Required training activity |
| Aim training | Required training activity |
| Boulder split | Required training activity |
| Defeat the Thunder trainee | Required training activity |
The available move information identifies four moves that can be unlocked without the boss drop, plus Flaming Thunder God as a separate reward from the Zenitsu boss.
| Move | Reported behavior |
|---|---|
| Thunderclap and Flash | Aimed dash; can end with a swing and knockback |
| Lightning Fold | A lightning drop aimed at the target area |
| Rice Spirit | Charged attack described as teleporting to an opponent |
| Godspeed | Instant dash used for travel or attacking |
| Flaming Thunder God | Ultimate obtained from the Zenitsu boss drop |
Thunderclap and Flash can be aimed upward, downward, or across a chosen distance. One video describes an ending swing that spins and knocks an enemy backward, which can create a chance to continue attacking.
Lightning Fold is described as a lightning drop placed where the player aims. The video source says it can ragdoll a target, allowing a follow-up attack after closing the distance.
Rice Spirit is presented as a charged move. The video guides describe it as an attack that can reach an opponent after charging and as a useful combo extension option.
Godspeed is described as an instant dash. It can be used as a travel move or used against an NPC, and the supplied guides characterize it as another move that can support a combo.
Flaming Thunder God is the ultimate. Both video sources say it comes from farming the Zenitsu boss rather than from the four listed standard moves. One source recalls a possible drop rate but is uncertain, so no exact rate should be assumed.
