FAQ

Where is Obari in Slayers 2?
Obari stands in the open beyond the Wilderness gates near Bamboo Grove. He is the easiest boss to check on repeat runs because he is not hidden in a cave or behind a summoning item.
What is the Serpent Katana drop rate from Obari?
The Serpent Katana drops at 5% per kill, which is the standard rate for elemental boss katana drops in Slayers 2. Obari also drops the Serpent Haori, Serpent Mask and Serpent Straw Hat.
How much HP does Obari have?
Obari has 3,000 HP, the shared baseline for nearly every main boss in Slayers 2. That pool scales with the number of players in the fight, which is why group kills go faster.
Is Obari also a Breathing trainer?
Yes. The Serpent Breathing trainer is a separate NPC standing on the cliff above the starting area, not at Obari's boss spawn. Breathing training opens at level 25.

Obari is the Serpent boss and the standard first stop on any Slayers 2 boss circuit. He is not the hardest fight you will take, but he is the most convenient — standing in the open just past the Wilderness gates near Bamboo Grove, which makes him trivial to check on repeat runs. This guide covers where to find him, what he drops, and why he belongs first in a farming loop.

Where does Obari spawn?

Obari stands in the open beyond the Wilderness gates near Bamboo Grove, which is the densest boss cluster on the map and the natural place to start a farming loop. Four fights sit within a short ride of each other, and the terrain around the grove is noticeably more forgiving than the snowfields and cave routes later in the game.

Detail Value
Health 3,000 (standard main-boss baseline)
Area Wilderness gates near Bamboo Grove
Marker Visible on the world map
Spawn type Shared world spawn

Open the world map and you will see Bamboo Grove sitting roughly in the centre, with boss, shrine and NPC markers spread around it. Those markers are the fastest way to confirm you are in the right place before committing to a long ride.

How do you beat a 3,000 HP boss?

Nearly every main boss in Slayers 2 shares a 3,000 HP baseline, so the same approach applies across the map. That pool scales with the number of players in the fight, which is the single biggest lever you have.

The general main-boss approach

Confirm the spawn first. You know the fight is live when a named health bar appears reading 3,000/3,000. If a map marker shows but nothing is standing there, the spawn is either on a night cycle, sitting below you in a pit or cave, or waiting behind a summoning item.

Bring a Breathing Style. If you have not unlocked one yet, that is the priority — styles unlock at level 25 and change how quickly a 3,000 HP bar actually moves. See the breathing style tier list and the beginner guide for the route to level 25.

Group when you can. Shared spawns mean other players’ damage shortens the fight while you keep your own reward roll.

Bring a real weapon. Boss drops replace starter blades quickly; the katana guide covers what to farm next.

Per-attack damage numbers and animation timings: not published by any source we could find, so this page does not guess at them. Test in-game before relying on a specific dodge window.

Why farm Obari first in a loop?

Travel is the real cost of boss farming, not the fighting. Obari’s value comes from where he stands.

Boss Distance from grove Hidden?
Obari (Serpent) Short ride, open ground No — easy to check
Giyen (Water) Deeper along the forest dirt path, near the bridge Partly
Sabito (mini) Near the river No, but 800 HP
Zentaro (Thunder) Requires a glide down a cliffside Yes

Because Obari is exposed and close, he is the cheapest fight to re-check between other stops. Build the loop around him rather than around whichever boss has the drop you want most.

Is Obari also a Serpent Breathing trainer?

No — and this trips people up. The Serpent Breathing trainer is a separate NPC standing on the cliff above the starting area, not at Obari’s boss spawn. Several boss names double as Breathing trainers, and the trainer version always stands somewhere different.

Boss Trainer location (separate from boss spawn)
Obari (Serpent) On the cliff above the starting area
Rengu (Flame) On top of the house by the red bridge from Mistfall Village
Shinora (Insect) On the roof of the main building at Butterfly Mansion
Tengai (Sound) In snowy Iceveil Valley, behind a Wall Climb requirement

Breathing training opens at level 25, and most trainers also want materials such as Demon Horns or Wen before they will teach you. Check the breathing style tier list before committing to a style — some trainers gate behind significant travel.

Frequently asked questions

What level should I be to fight Obari?

There is no hard level gate, but arriving without a Breathing Style makes the 3,000 HP pool slow to chew through. Level 25 is the practical floor because that is when styles unlock; before that, stick to mini bosses like Zuko where the health pools are far smaller.

Is the Serpent Katana worth farming?

It is a solid mid-game blade and the required base weapon for the Serpentine Katana upgrade craft at Hidden Mist Village. Do not sell it after you outgrow it — see the katana guide for the upgrade chain.

Does Obari respawn?

Yes, he is a repeatable world spawn with a respawn timer shown after each kill. The timer is why a loop of several nearby bosses beats camping a single spawn.
