Verse Piece Demon Slayer Update Guide (2025)

The latest Demon Slayer update in Verse Piece represents one of the most significant content patches the game has ever received. This isn’t just another minor addition—we’re talking about a complete game-changer that introduces Tanjiro (Tanjiro), Akaza, a revolutionary Trait Filter system, and entirely new mechanics centered around materials and quests. Whether you’re a veteran player looking to optimize your farming or a newcomer eager to unlock these powerful Demon Slayer units, this guide will walk you through every single step with the precision and detail you deserve.

How to Get Tanjiro in Verse Piece?

Unlocking Tanjiro in Verse Piece is a multi-step process that requires patience, preparation, and the right resources. As someone who’s completed this questline multiple times, I can tell you that the rewards are absolutely worth the effort.

Step 1: Craft the Nichirin Sword

The Nichirin Sword serves as the gateway to everything Demon Slayer-related in Verse Piece. Without this essential weapon, you won’t be able to access Tanjiro’s questline or progress through the Demon Slayer content.

Steps to Craft the Nichirin Sword:

Travel to Blacksmith Island – This is your primary destination for all weapon-related activities. The blacksmith NPC here is crucial for crafting and upgrading weapons.
Gather Scarlet Ore – This rare material is the cornerstone of your Nichirin Sword crafting process. Here’s what you need to know:
- Location: Scarlet Ore can only be obtained through mining activities
- Tool Recommendation: Equip Drilling Artifacts to significantly boost your mining efficiency
- Pro Tip: Mining during peak server hours can be competitive, so consider playing during off-peak times for better ore availability
Forge the Sword – Once you’ve accumulated enough Scarlet Ore, return to the blacksmith NPC:
- Interact with the blacksmith and select the crafting option
- Choose the Nichirin Sword from the available recipes
- Optional Enhancement: You can enhance or bless your sword for additional stats, though this isn’t required for the Tanjiro questline

Step 2: Locate and Start Tanjiro’s Questline

After successfully crafting your Nichirin Sword, the real adventure begins. Tanjiro’s NPC is located in a somewhat unexpected place that many players overlook.

Finding Tanjiro’s NPC:

Location: Behind the blacksmith area on Blacksmith Island
Identification: Interestingly, the NPC is labeled as “Tanjiro’s Dad” rather than Tanjiro himself
Pro Tip: Many players waste hours searching for Tanjiro because they’re looking for the wrong NPC name. Remember this detail to save yourself valuable time!

Step 3: Complete Tanjiro’s Questline

Tanjiro’s questline is straightforward but requires dedication. Here’s exactly what you need to do:

Primary Objective: Defeat 350 demons using your newly crafted Nichirin Sword

Quest Strategy:

Efficient Farming: Focus on areas with high demon spawn rates
Weapon Maintenance: Keep your Nichirin Sword enhanced to maintain optimal damage output
Tracking Progress: The game automatically tracks your demon kills, so you don’t need to manually count

Rewards Upon Completion:

Hanafuda Earrings – A crucial accessory that enhances your abilities
Tanjiro Sword – An upgraded version of the Nichirin Sword with improved stats
Access to Water Breathing Techniques – Unlocks five powerful Water Breathing moves

Step 4: Master Tanjiro’s Abilities

Once you’ve completed the questline, you’ll gain access to Tanjiro’s incredible combat abilities. This is where the real fun begins!

Water Breathing Techniques (5 Moves):

Each technique has unique animations and effects
Press different keys (typically Z, X, C, V, F) to execute various Water Breathing forms
These moves are essential for both PvE and PvP combat

Hinokami Kagura Mode:

Activation: Press the Y key to transform into Hinokami Kagura Mode
Benefits: Unlocks five additional Sun Breathing techniques
Total Moves: 10 powerful attacks with distinct visual effects and damage outputs
Strategic Value: This mode significantly increases your combat effectiveness against tougher enemies

How to Find and Unlock Akaza?

If you thought getting Tanjiro was challenging, wait until you tackle Akaza. This formidable Demon Slayer character is locked behind one of the most difficult dungeons in Verse Piece—the Infinity Castle.

Understanding the Infinity Castle

The Infinity Castle is a new dungeon introduced in the Demon Slayer update, and it’s as mysterious as it is dangerous.

Key Characteristics:

Random Spawning: The castle appears randomly across four possible map locations
Limited Time Window: When it spawns, you must head there immediately—it disappears quickly
Difficulty Level: Designed for high-level players (recommended level 10k+)
Multi-wave Structure: Progress through increasingly difficult waves of demons

Finding the Infinity Castle:

Stay Alert: The castle can spawn at any time, so pay attention to server announcements
Coordinate with Others: Team up with friends or guild members to cover multiple spawn locations
Be Prepared: Always have your best equipment and consumables ready for immediate deployment

Conquering the Infinity Castle

Success in the Infinity Castle requires strategy, preparation, and skill. Here’s my proven approach:

Preparation Phase:

Level Requirement: Ensure you’re at least level 10k (higher is better)
Equipment: Use your best weapons and armor
Consumables: Stock up on healing items, damage boosters, and defense potions
Team Composition: If playing with others, balance your team with different roles

Wave Progression Strategy:

Waves 1-5: Focus on efficiency and resource management
Waves 6-10: Increase your aggression as enemies become tougher
Waves 11-14: Use your most powerful abilities and conserve resources for the final wave
Wave 15: The ultimate challenge—prepare for the Akaza boss fight

The Akaza Boss Fight

Wave 15 is where you’ll face Akaza as the main boss. This fight is incredibly challenging but offers exclusive rewards that make it worthwhile.

Akaza’s Attack Patterns:

Rewards for Defeating Akaza:

Akaza’s Compass Rose – Essential item for unlocking Akaza’s spec
Muzan’s Blood – Valuable crafting material used for various purposes
Exclusive Accessories – High-stat items only available from this boss

Unlocking Akaza’s Full Potential

Defeating Akaza is just the beginning. To fully unlock his abilities, you need to complete additional steps:

Post-Boss Process:

Find the Night Man NPC – After defeating Akaza, this mysterious merchant appears in the Infinity Castle
Purchase Muzan’s Gift – Use the Muzan’s Blood you obtained from the boss fight
Activate Akaza’s Compass Rose – Combine with Muzan’s Gift to unlock Akaza’s fighting style

Akaza’s Ability Set:
