Stone Breathing is the only style with a weapon prerequisite — you must carry the Axe and Mace to trainer Gyorei before he trains you. Expect the longest unlock questline of the eight, and the most satisfying.
Requirements
| Requirement | Amount | |---|---| | Level | 25 | | Axe and Mace | From the Stone Trainee (unique weapon prerequisite) | | Beast Cores | 5 | | Trials | 6 training exercises |
How to Unlock: Step by Step
- Reach Level 25.
- Take the Axe and Mace from the Stone Trainee — he patrols near the trainer's area. Stone is the only style with a weapon gate.
- Gather 5 Beast Cores from demon kills.
- Find Gyorei at the temple on the lower mountain path — the courtyard sits below the village, no climbing required. (Alternative route: teleport to the Hidden Mist Village Shrine and walk down.)
- Hand over the materials and clear all six training trials.
- Stone Breathing unlocks. Return at Level 50 for the Awakening tier.
Is Stone Breathing Good?
Stone reads as the tank's style: heavy, deliberate, punishing in the right hands. Early tier lists place it mid-pack — below Thunder and Sound — but its six-trial questline suggests the kit rewards mastery more than most. As always days after launch: rankings are snapshots, and balance patches are active.
