Slayers 2 Demon Horns and Beast Cores — Farm Routes

Where do you farm Demon Horns and Beast Cores in Slayers 2?

Both materials come from demon enemies that appear at night, and each has one dependable cluster plus a second fallback spot. The table below lists the enemy, the region, and the time window, so you can plan one trip instead of two.

The single most useful habit is to start the night near the Beast Cores, because that cluster is the only source with a hard rule attached to it. Horns can be collected in daylight from the waterfall cave, while cores cannot be collected at all before the cycle flips. If your session begins in the morning, spend the first half on horns and the second half on cores instead of waiting at an empty village.

Why do the Beast Core enemies only appear at night?

Beast Born Demons are tied to the night cycle, and the same is true for the demon population that carries horns across the snow biome. Arriving in daylight and finding empty cliffs does not mean you have the wrong village; the enemies are simply not loaded yet.

That has two practical consequences. First, never judge a farming spot by a daytime visit, and do not waste time circling a village that looks abandoned. Second, server hopping is a legitimate tool rather than an exploit: if your server is in daylight and another one has already entered night, you can move instead of waiting. Guides that suggest server hopping usually mean exactly this case.

The other consequence is route design. Because both materials share the same window, a player who farms them separately spends twice as many nights on the same content, then wonders why the level 25 Breathing gate feels slow. The Breathing trainer locations page lists what each trainer actually asks for, and the honest answer is that most of them want at least one of these two items.

Where are the Beast Born Demons, and how do you reach them?

Open the world map and look for the pink demon head icons sitting east of Mistfall Harbor and south of Bamboo Grove Sanctuary. That cluster is the main Beast Born Demon population, and it spreads across the grassy cliffs above the village as well as the pathways running through it below.

The enemies are low level, wear white and pink robes, and can appear as early as level 3, so you do not need a finished build to farm them. What you do need is a route that covers both elevations. Sweeping only the village streets leaves the cliff spawns untouched, and those are the ones most players never find because they never look up.

The walk from the starter region takes a few minutes and is worth learning once. Start at Windy Peak or the starter town, drop off the starting ledge and run south-east through Bamboo Grove. Follow the path past Bamboo Grove Sanctuary until you reach the red torii gates that look out over Mistfall Harbor, cross the wooden bridge over the river, and then cross the long lantern-lined red bridge over the waterfalls. The village entrance sits directly on the other side, and the demon spawns begin shortly after it.

Set your spawn point in that village before you start the loop. Deaths, disconnects and resets then cost you seconds instead of another cross-map run, which matters more than any other optimisation on this page. A competitor wiki also names Beastorn demons around Mist Village as a core source, but that claim has no second source and no route attached, so treat it as a fallback lead rather than a plan.

Which Demon Horn route is fastest early on?

The hidden cave behind the Bamboo Grove waterfall is the standard early farm. Hoyuzo Subordinates respawn inside the front section and each one can drop a horn, so the loop is short and you are never short of targets. There is no door and no interaction prompt at the entrance.

You simply walk through the falling water. That detail is the reason so many players miss the cave: they look for a prompt or a gap in the rock, and there is neither. Once inside, work the front room rather than pushing deeper, because the enemies there are the easy ones and the respawn timer is what sets your rate. Setting your spawn at the Bamboo Grove Sanctuary crystal cuts the return trip to almost nothing.

Two deeper targets are worth knowing about but not worth building a route around. One outlet reports a Level 52 Hoyuzo boss at the back of the same cave with a chance to drop three horns at once, alongside a small chance at Muzan’s Blood, and a Blood Hounded Demon inside a Mistfall Harbor cave. Both come from a single guide, and the boss out-levels anyone who is still shopping for a first Breathing style. Bookmark them for later, and check the bosses and raids page before you pick that fight.

Is the snowfield above the bear area worth farming?

Yes, once you can survive the cold. The snowfield above the bear quest area spawns High Demons at night, and one beginner guide describes them as dropping a steady one to two horns per kill, which is the best regular rate available without fighting a boss.

The catch is the biome itself. The snow region applies continuous cold damage, so an unprepared player loses more health to the environment than to the demons. Bring a torch, lantern or another heat source, and finish the Movement branch of the skill tree before you make this your main loop. The bear area beneath it covers roughly levels 13 to 20, which is also the band where most players are preparing for the level 25 trainer gate.

One conflict is worth flagging here. A second outlet lists Iceveil Valley High Demons as a 50% chance for a single horn rather than a guaranteed one or two. Both descriptions agree that High Demons are the strongest regular horn source in the snow; they disagree on how generous the drop is. Plan for the lower number and treat extra horns as a bonus.

How good is the cave under the Mother Bear?

The cave underneath the Mother Bear spawns low-tier demons in packs of around six at a time, and those demons drop Beast Cores as well as Demon Horns. That combination is what makes the cave valuable: it is the only single location where both materials can fall from the same kills.

Density, not a better drop table, is the reason it feels fast. Six enemies in one room means very little travel between kills, so the cave rewards a constant circuit rather than a lap of the map. It also works best with two or three players clearing together, because the pack size is fixed and the respawn timer does not care how many people are waiting.

Treat it as a supplement rather than a replacement for the Beast Born cluster. The cave gives you horns and a trickle of cores; the village east of Mistfall Harbor gives you the dedicated core farm. If Mother Bear is alive when you arrive, the boss itself is a separate fight and worth a detour for soul progression, though sources disagree on whether it drops Weak or Strong Souls.

How do you run both farms in one night?

Set your spawn near Mistfall Harbor, wait for night, then clear the Beast Born Demons on both the cliffs and the village paths before you travel anywhere else. Once the core cluster is empty or you have enough cores, move to a horn route for the rest of the night.

The rotation that wastes the least time is: cores first, Mother Bear cave second, Bamboo Grove waterfall cave last. Cores are the material with a time limit, so they should always be collected while they exist. Horns are available in daylight from the waterfall cave, which makes them the ideal filler when the cycle turns and the demons disappear.

Two small habits add up over several nights. Empty your inventory of junk drops before you start, because both materials land in your bags and a full inventory silently costs you pickups. And count your stock against the trainer before you travel to them, not after: arriving with 9 horns when the dialog asks for 10 is the most common wasted trip in this level band.

How many Demon Horns and Beast Cores do you need?

The numbers below are the community-reported requirements, grouped by what you actually have to stock. Treat them as a shopping list rather than a contract, because trainer dialogs have changed since launch and one of these figures has been seen changing inside a single session.

Three numbers cause most of the confusion. The “around three Beast Cores” line that appears in beginner guides traces back to one outlet and conflicts with the five-core listings for Serpent and Stone; the style-specific pages are the ones to trust. Stone’s Beast Core counter has been seen showing four and then five in the same play session, so preparing five is the safe move. And one outlet recorded a launch build asking for 5,000 Wen with 30 horns and five cores, then a later run asking for 10,000 Wen with no cores at all, which is a reminder that the dialog in front of you always wins.

If you want the per-trainer breakdown, the trainer locations and costs page carries the full table with the source disagreements listed row by row. For the fastest route back to level 25 so you can spend these materials, see the leveling guide.

Was Abubu Cave ever a Slayers 2 farming spot?

No, and this is a case where the internet is recycling first-game data. The Abubu Cave recommendation comes from the original Project Slayers wiki, which described an underground room holding three demons and called it a cheese spot for horns. That page documents the first game.

We could not confirm an equivalent cave in Slayers 2, and none of the current farming guides route players to a location with that name. The confusion is understandable, because the two games share a developer, a map language and a material list, and search results happily mix them. If you see Abubu Cave quoted as a Slayers 2 spot, check whether the page also mentions Ouwohana, Zapiwara Mountain or a level 75 breathing gate; those are all first-game markers, and a page carrying them is not describing the game you are playing.

What Slayers 2 does have, in the same spirit, is the hidden cave behind the Bamboo Grove waterfall, which serves the same role: a compact room of respawning demon enemies that you can clear in a loop.

What is this page based on?

This page is built from Community Verified sources: TechWiser, AllThings.how, NerdsChalk, SportsRant and Games.gg, cross-checked on 2026-09-23 against the v0.110 build. The Beast Born Demon location, the night-only window and the Mother Bear cave are corroborated by more than one outlet, and the horn routes are described step by step by the guides that farm them.

The weakest claims here are labelled in the text: the Level 52 Hoyuzo boss drop, the Blood Hounded Demon in the Mistfall Harbor cave, the exact High Demon drop rate, and the Beastorn demons around Mist Village. No developer source has ever published a drop percentage for either material, and the material counts have moved since launch, so confirm the numbers in the trainer dialog before spending a night on them.
