Field note / 03 · Slayer route
Finish the trial. Confirm the rank.
Quick answer: launch reporting places Final Selection at level 45 or above, on the human route. Follow the trial's NPC objectives in order, defeat the Hand Demon and return to The Sisters to claim completion.
Before you travel
Do not use the level-15 requirement from the original Project Slayers as a sequel entry rule. Check the live quest and gate requirements, keep the character on the human route, and review equipment and unused skill points. One launch guide suggests level 60 for a more comfortable solo attempt; treat that as the author's recommendation, not an entry requirement.
Use the gate's own countdown
Published guides disagree on an hourly versus two-hour opening cycle. We do not show a supposedly live timer built from those conflicting reports. Read the countdown at the entrance and remain in the indicated waiting area. An article's schedule is not stronger evidence than the timer in your current server.
Reported NPC route
Rechecked September 20, 2026: the September 15 community walkthrough describes this sequence. It predates launch; we have not verified it in-game. Follow your live quest tracker if it differs.
- The Sisters → Rem: accept the trial, then return an apple, banana and grapes from the nearby forest.
- Vael: defeat five Lesser Demons and report back.
- Klien → Rika: recover the cliffside katana; obtain bandages from Rika, return and complete the treatment prompt.
- Mizuto: enter the pond cave, defeat its guards and collect the Submerged Key. Complete the lever-and-platform dungeon, then report back.
- Lavato → Levi: clear the timed flag course; complete Levi's camp objective and carry the civilian back.
- Steve → The Sisters: start and finish the boss encounter, then claim the trial reward.
If the next NPC will not advance, compare your tracker with the previous turn-in before restarting.
Inside the trial
- Accept the opening objective. Read the current NPC and quest tracker before running ahead.
- Complete the NPC chain in sequence. The walkthrough includes multiple tasks before the final fight. Finishing an enemy encounter does not necessarily finish the active quest.
- Check adds during the Hand Demon fight. An early walkthrough reports boss damage immunity while its minions remain. If hits stop registering, clear the spawned enemies and check again.
- Return to The Sisters afterward. The completion walkthrough lists Mizunoto rank, a Slayer Uniform, Ore and a Kasugai Crow as claim rewards.
If the run seems stuck
| Symptom | First check |
|---|---|
| The gate will not let you start | Live level/race requirement and the entrance countdown. |
| The next objective does not appear | Current quest completion and a required NPC conversation. |
| The boss appears invulnerable | Remaining spawned minions; this is a reported encounter condition. |
| You won but have no new rank | Return to the completion NPCs and check the reward claim. |
These are targeted checks derived from the reported sequence, not a diagnosis of every server bug. If the live prompt contradicts this page, follow the live objective and note the changed step before attempting the whole trial again.
