Demon Horns are the one material standing between you and your first real Breathing style in Slayers 2, and the game won’t tell you where to find them. Quick answer: farm Hoyuzo Subordinates and the Hoyuzo boss in Bamboo Grove’s hidden waterfall cave, or hunt High Demons in Iceveil Valley for a better drop rate. Here’s every source, the fastest route to the cave, and what each Breathing style actually costs.
| Enemy | Location | Drop |
|---|---|---|
| Hoyuzo Subordinate | Bamboo Grove waterfall cave | 1 Horn (~30%) |
| Hoyuzo (Lv 52 boss) | Back of the waterfall cave | 3 Horns (50%) |
| Blood Hounded Demon | Mistfall Harbor cave | 1 Horn (better rate) |
| High Demon | Iceveil Valley tundra | 1-2 Horns (50%) |
Where to Get Demon Horns in Slayers 2?
Demon Horns are an Uncommon drop item tied to demon enemies specifically — bandits and other hostiles won’t give you any. They’re used almost exclusively to unlock Breathing styles, so your farming target depends on which style your trainer requires.
Four enemy types drop them. Hoyuzo Subordinates are the easiest, reachable in your low-20s and clustered in one spot. Blood Hounded Demons in the Mistfall Harbor cave hit harder with Blood Demon Arts but pay out at a better rate. High Demons in Iceveil Valley have the strongest drop chance of any regular spawn, though they come with sharper AI and often pull in groups, so bring a party if you go that route. The Hoyuzo boss himself is the biggest single payout in the game: a 50% chance at three horns per kill, alongside a shot at Hoyuzo’s Haori, Muzan’s Blood, and two separate Sickles rolls.
How to Reach the Bamboo Grove Waterfall Cave?
This is the go-to farm because it’s compact and enemies respawn fast:
- Spawn or teleport to Windy Peak, then follow the dirt path through the red torii gates until the Bamboo Grove label appears.
- Keep to the right side of the cliff as you move through the bamboo.
- Look down for a small lake with a waterfall at the base of the cliff.
- Jump down onto the pool and walk directly into the waterfall — there’s no prompt, you just walk through the water.
- You’re now inside the cave. Hoyuzo Subordinates patrol the front chamber; Hoyuzo, the Sickle Reaper, waits deeper in with 1,445 HP.
Set your spawn crystal at the Bamboo Grove Sanctuary before you start — it cuts your respawn walk to under a minute, which does more for your horns-per-hour than extra damage ever will. Farm the Subordinates first to level up, then push to Hoyuzo once you can survive a Lv 52 fight; going in with a party makes that kill far more consistent.
If Bamboo Grove isn’t panning out, Iceveil Valley is the alternative: head to the demon field near the bear area for High Demons, or check the Mistfall Harbor cave for Blood Hounded Demons if you’d rather avoid the crowd at the waterfall.
What Demon Horns Are Used For?
Every Breathing style trainer asks for a different number of horns, and several also want a second item or a level requirement before they’ll teach you. Decide on a style before you start farming — it turns a vague grind into a fixed target.
| Breathing Style | Horns Needed | Other Requirements | Trainer & Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flame | 10 | Level 25 | Rengu, near Mistfall Village’s red bridge |
| Water | 30 | Level 25, 5,000 Wen | Underwater cave near Bamboo Grove |
| Serpent | 20 | Level 25, 5 Beast Cores | Obari, cliff above Windy Peak spawn |
| Thunder | 10 | Level 25, Wall Climb | Zentaro, mountain summit near Bamboo Grove |
| Sound | 10 | Level 25, Wall Climb | Tengai, high cliffs in Iceveil Valley |
| Wind | 50 | Level 25 | Snowy biome past the bear area |
Flame, Thunder, and Sound are the cheapest at 10 horns each, so they’re the fastest to unlock if you just want to get into a Breathing style quickly. Wind is the priciest at 50.
Some trainers have extra strings attached. Obari (Serpent) only reveals his Beast Core request after you hand over the horns, so don’t expect the trade to finish in one visit — Beast Cores drop from Beast Born Demons near Mistfall Village and the Harbor. Water’s 5,000 Wen requirement is easiest to cover by collecting Ginzo’s Jewelry Box from his home in the Village Hidden in the Mist and selling loot to him at Mistfall Harbor afterward.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping the level check. Every trainer above requires Level 25 minimum, so don’t grind horns before you’re close to that threshold.
- Ignoring the pickup prompt. Horns drop on the ground rather than going straight into your bag — walk over the item to actually collect it, especially in a crowded party fight where drops are easy to miss.
- Attempting Hoyuzo too early. At Lv 52 with 1,445 HP, he’ll wreck a low-level Subordinate farmer. Level up on the front-room enemies first.
