Slayers 2 Stone Breathing Guide: Gyorei, Axe and Mace, Six Tasks
To unlock Stone Breathing in Slayers 2 (formerly Project Slayers 2), reach level 25 on the Slayer path and travel to Stone Sanctuary. Defeat the Stone Trainee until its chest awards Axe and Mace, find the paired weapon in inventory and equip it. Speak to Stone Trainer Gyorei beside the dojo, bring the Beast Cores and any other materials shown in his current prompt, then finish meditation, push-ups, Boulder Push, Boulder Split, Parkour Dungeon and the final Stone Trainee fight.

Prepare the weapon and material before speaking to Gyorei
The paired weapon is a separate prerequisite from the trainer's material request. The nearby Stone Buddha Gyorei boss and a later Nightfall upgrade are separate routes; neither replaces the trainee's base weapon reward.
Use the Stone Trainee chest and find the paired set in inventory.
Gather Beast CoresCount the material drops before returning to the trainer.
- Reach level 25 as a Slayer and unlock the movement tools needed for the sanctuary climb.
- Travel to Stone Sanctuary and defeat the Stone Trainee near the upper grounds.
- Open its chest and check Uncategorized Weapons for Axe and Mace; repeat only if the weapon is still missing.
- Equip Axe and Mace, count your Beast Cores and read Gyorei's live request before handing anything over.
Follow the lower cliff path to Stone Sanctuary
Plan the climb before leaving the lower route. If a wall blocks progress, check your movement skill and look for the upper ledge rather than circling the same ground-level path.
- Leave the starting region toward the bear area and continue to the cliff edge.
- Drop onto the lower walkway and follow it through Verdant Cliffs.
- At the downhill fork, take the route toward Stone Sanctuary and keep to the cliffside trail.
- Climb onto the upper temple grounds; find the trainee near the grassy edge and Gyorei beside the large wooden dojo.
Finish the six Stone Breathing Training objectives
Read the quest tracker after each task. In Parkour Dungeon, orient yourself toward the next lever before jumping, and use any checkpoint marker you reach. If Boulder Split refuses an attack input, check the equipped weapon.
| Step | Objective | Completion check |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Meditation | Follow the active input prompts until the counter changes. |
| 2 | Push-ups | Finish the required timing inputs. |
| 3 | Boulder Push | Guide the boulder to the marked endpoint. |
| 4 | Boulder Split | Use the prompted attacks with Axe and Mace equipped. |
| 5 | Parkour Dungeon | Work through the timed platforms and levers, checking progress markers. |
| 6 | Stone Trainee | Defeat the marked trainee and verify the final quest count. |
Confirm the Stone skill tree is usable
After the final trainee fight, return to Gyorei if the quest tracker asks for it. Open Skill Tree and inspect the Stone branch. Training completion, node purchase, mastery and weapon equipment are separate checks; read the selected move before spending points.
If Gyorei still repeats the weapon condition, equip Axe and Mace from the correct inventory tab. If the training counter remains short of six, identify the unregistered objective before fighting the trainee again.
Watch the route and developer preview
The short route video can help recognize the sanctuary approach. The earlier developer upload previews Stone combat and answers broader game questions; use the live game for current requirements.
