Starting the Underwater Rocks Quest
To begin your journey toward mastering the Water Breathing style in Slayers 2, you must first locate the Water Breathing trainer, Urokodaki. Head to the Bamboo Grove area on the map. Look for a house situated on a small island surrounded by water and bridges.
To the left of the main bridge leading to this house, you will find a patch of bushes and pink flowers. Tucked behind this foliage is a hidden underwater tunnel. Swim through it and climb the ladder at the end to enter the room where Urokodaki resides. Speaking with him will officially trigger the Underwater Rocks quest, tasking you with retrieving five glowing blue sea crystals from the local riverbed.
Strategies for Finding Glowing Rocks
The five sea crystals are scattered randomly along the riverbed. While their exact spawn points change, they are consistently found in shallower areas, meaning you do not need to dive into the deepest parts of the river to find them.
Efficient Farming: According to community reports, you do not need to collect all five rocks in a single dive. For maximum efficiency, set your spawn point at the Bamboo Grove Sanctuary by interacting with the purple crystal near the house. Once you find a glowing crystal, you can simply reset your character to return to the surface instantly, preserving your progress and saving significant time.
When searching underwater, look for a distinct shimmering blue light emitted by the crystals. They are designed to stand out against the riverbed, even during nighttime in-game hours. Focus your camera downward while swimming to scan the terrain effectively.
Managing Your Oxygen Levels
The primary challenge of this quest is maintaining your breath meter. If you run out of oxygen, you will drown, which resets your current dive. While drowning does not fail the entire questline, it can be frustrating if you are close to a target.
- Surface Regularly: Do not attempt to force the collection of all five rocks at once. If your oxygen meter drops significantly, swim to the surface to refill your breath.
- Search in Loops: Treat the quest as a series of short, controlled search loops. Dive, scan a specific section of the riverbed, pick up any reachable crystals, and return to the surface.
- Stay Shallow: Since the crystals are always located near the surface of the riverbed, you should rarely need to risk your oxygen in deeper, unnecessary areas.
By following this methodical approach—scanning, collecting, and resetting—you will complete the Underwater Rocks objective quickly and be ready for the next stage of your Water Breathing progression.
