Slayers 2 Katana Forging: V2 & Nightfall Materials

Get the Crude Iron Ingot after Final Selection

The Crude Iron Ingot belongs to the post-Final-Selection reward route. Finish the trial and its reward interaction with The Sisters, then check your inventory for the ingot before traveling to the smith. The Slayer uniform and crow are other parts of this progression handoff.

Use the item name to identify it: Crude Iron Ingot is the material for this crafting step. Reaching level 45 or entering the trial alone does not complete the reward route. If you are still working through objectives, finish the active trial task first.

Visit Yagane in Hidden Mist Village

Go to Hidden Mist Village and speak to Yagane at his forge. Choose the blade-forging dialogue to open the recipe list. This is a crafting interaction with the smith, separate from buying your first sword at the beginner shop.

1. Check that Crude Iron Ingot is in your inventory before leaving for Hidden Mist Village.
2. Find Yagane and choose the option to forge a blade.
3. Select a named katana pattern from the recipe list so its material panel appears.
4. For Tengoku Katana, check that the Crude Iron Ingot counter reads 1/1 and that the fee reads Free.
5. Press Craft, then confirm the new katana notification and find the weapon in your inventory.

Enryu, Shinkage and Tengoku: choose a pattern

Yagane lists Enryu Katana, Shinkage Katana and Tengoku Katana as separate patterns. Open the pattern you want before committing the material; the recipe panel is where you check what that particular craft will consume.

For a direct route using the trial reward, select Tengoku Katana and match the recipe below. If you already have a sword you like, compare the new weapon with your equipped weapon before replacing it. Crafting a blade is an equipment choice, not a reason to stop doing your available crow missions.

Equip the blade and continue the Slayer route

Open your inventory after crafting and select the katana you intend to use. A new-item notification confirms receipt; check your equipped weapon before returning to combat so you do not continue fighting with the old sword by accident.

Also equip the crow from your inventory to access crow missions. Forging uses the material reward, while the crow opens the next mission loop. Keep those two post-trial tasks separate when deciding what to do next.

If forging does not work

Choose the smith for your current task

The trial-reward katana is one crafting step, not the entire equipment system. Keep the named NPC and menu matched to what you want to do next.

Prepare Volcanic or Tornadic Katana at the Ouwigahara forge

For these upgrades, bring the corresponding base katana to Blacksmith Togane at the Ouwigahara Nichirin Forge. Select the target weapon and read the base-weapon counter as well as Additional Materials. Having the ingredients does not replace the required blade.

The Volcanic and Tornadic recipes below each show a cost of 90,000 Ouwigahara points. Keep that budget separate from Wen. Their Silk Thread requirement is 300 per weapon.

1. At Togane in Hidden Mist Village, check Your other forge for the Ouwigahara route and its current quest requirements.
2. Reserve the matching base katana and the materials for your selected upgrade before entering Ouwigahara.
3. At the Nichirin Forge, select Volcanic or Tornadic and check every counter. A red base-weapon counter is a different shortage from missing points.
4. Read the reforge confirmation before crafting: the base blade is used for the upgrade. Check how the menu treats its existing refinement before committing a refined weapon.
5. After crafting, inspect the new weapon in your inventory before planning the next upgrade.

Plan the Volcanic-to-Nightfall Katana craft

At Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village, the Nightfall Katana recipe uses its own schematic and an upgraded blade. The route below uses Volcanic Katana; inspect your selected recipe before substituting a different V2 weapon. The Nightfall craft uses Wen rather than the Ouwigahara points spent on the earlier upgrade.

1. Obtain the Nightfall Katana schematic and confirm the exact name. Other Nightfall set drawings are separate recipes.
2. Keep your Volcanic Katana available and open Nightfall Katana at Togane.
3. Check the schematic and weapon counters, then the Metal Scrap and Silk Thread counters.
4. Compare your Wen with the displayed price, including any applicable character discount shown by the menu.
5. Review the resulting weapon and confirmation before Craft. Refinement at Hagane is a separate subsequent upgrade.

Budget the full Flame-to-Nightfall route

Starting with an owned Flame Katana and no Volcanic Katana, the two listed recipes total 1,500 Metal Scrap, 1,300 Silk Thread and 10 Mythic Refinement Ore, plus 90,000 Ouwigahara points and the displayed 1,000,000 Wen Nightfall fee. You also need the Nightfall Katana schematic. This total excludes acquiring the starting blade, travel or quest spending and optional refinement.

If you already own Volcanic Katana, budget only the Nightfall step. Do not count Volcanic as both an extra purchased ingredient and the output of a V2 craft you are already including. Keep Metal Scrap and Silk Thread separate from the special materials in Togane’s Swap materials menu.

Find the V2 materials before committing to the craft

Ginzo's stock menu visibly offers Silk Thread and Metal Scraps in Mizurri's gameplay. Talk to Ginzo, choose Show me your stock, select the missing material and check the current total before buying. The creator also says both materials drop from random bosses and prefers boss farming, but the video does not establish a particular boss, drop chance or guaranteed stack.

Before surrendering a Mythic item at Ginzo, open Sell the selection and inspect the offered return. Keep the item until you can see the exact reward and verify it is the Mythic Refinement Ore needed by your selected recipe. A Mythic rarity label alone is not a confirmed ore exchange.

Use Togane’s 1:1 material exchange before farming more

At Blacksmith Togane, choose Swap materials. The exchange offers six material entries and allows any one of those six to be exchanged for another at a one-for-one rate. Select what you give and what you receive, then choose Make the exchange.

The choices include Star Ore, Weaver’s Silk, Reinforced Plating and Weaver’s Cloth, plus two separate Forged Ingot entries. Match the exact entry and its icon to the material in your recipe; do not treat the two ingot cards as one shared inventory.

Before exchanging, reserve the quantities needed by the recipe you intend to craft. A material is only spare after you account for that recipe and any other craft you have committed to. The swap redistributes eligible materials; it does not increase their total number.

1. Open the target crafting recipe and note each eligible material requirement separately.
2. Compare those requirements with your inventory to identify the shortage and the genuine surplus.
3. Choose Swap materials, select the surplus entry to give and the missing entry to receive.
4. Check both selected cards before using Make the exchange.
5. Return to the recipe and inspect its counters again. Continue only while the exchange resolves a shortage without creating a new one.

Check set drawings separately from material swaps

Togane also offers The set drawings, with separate Firstlight and Nightfall choices. His dialogue offers to draw the last two after you bring the required set of drawings. Open the relevant set and read its remaining requirements before searching for another schematic.

Do not assume that any arbitrary pair of missing schematics qualifies. Follow the selected set’s requirement list; the dialogue is not the same as receiving a finished weapon.

If a recipe is missing, first check that you have the schematic for that exact item and that you are viewing the appropriate crafting menu. A material exchange fixes a material shortage, not a missing recipe or an unmet equipment requirement. Avoid trading away resources until you can inspect the recipe you actually want.

Verify the visible forge counters

The linked video shows the selected Volcanic, Tornadic and Nightfall recipes at Togane. Read the right-hand requirement numbers rather than the creator’s inventory count to the left of each slash, then confirm the live forge menu before spending.
