Final Selection
Wisteria mountain · levels 45 · Slayer exam
The slayer exam. The Sisters start the trial, which runs through a chain of quest NPCs, a parkour dungeon and a timed mountain run, and ends with the Hand Demon. Finishing it earns the Mizunoto rank, a Slayer Uniform and a Kasugai Crow. A countdown on the gate shows when the next trial opens.
How to get to Final Selection
From Butterfly Estate, take the long southern bridge to the Final Selection Plains and follow the northeast path to the gate.

Final Selection FAQ
When does Final Selection open?
Guides disagree — reports range from every hour on the hour to a two-hour cycle. Watch the countdown on the gate; it is the only reliable source.
What do I get for passing?
The Mizunoto rank, a Slayer Uniform, a Kasugai Crow and Ore (some runs also report Crude Iron).
Which NPCs are at Final Selection?
The Sisters (Start and complete the trial); Rem (Fruit collection (apple, banana, grapes)); Vael (Defeat 5 lesser demons); Klien & Rika (Katana recovery and bandage treatment); Mizuto (Pond key and parkour dungeon); Lavato (Timed mountain survival); Levi (Rescue and escort); Steve (Hand Demon boss objective).
Is Final Selection worth farming?
For the boss spawns — Nezura, Fujiko, Hand Demon — and the mob level band (45).
What level should I be before coming to Final Selection?
Final Selection is built for levels 45. Below that range, kills are slow and deaths are frequent; well above it, the mobs stop paying useful experience. The one exception: material farming and boss hunts are level-agnostic reasons to visit — the Beast Cores at Mistfall Harbor and the Demon Horns under the Bear Area stay relevant long after their mobs stop paying EXP.
How does Final Selection connect to the rest of the map?
From Butterfly Estate, take the long southern bridge to the Final Selection Plains and follow the northeast path to the gate. Fast travel shrines and a horse (reported 15,000 Wen each) cut the repeat trips — see the leveling guide's travel section for the full loop.
Where to go after Final Selection
Butterfly Mansion progression · Hidden Mist Village (65+)
Farming and levelling at Final Selection
Final Selection carries 3 reported boss spawns, which makes it part of the standard boss farming loop. The area is built for levels 45: arriving under that range means slower kills and more deaths, arriving well over it means the mobs no longer pay useful experience. Match your time here to the quest markers — every named NPC with a quest line is listed above.
How Final Selection fits the world route
Final Selection is the slayer exam rather than a farm zone — a gated event area you enter at level 45 through the gate countdown. The nine-step quest chain (fruit, demons, katana, bandage, pond, dungeon, mountain, rescue, Hand Demon) is a guide of its own; the reward is the Mizunoto rank that opens Crow quests and the rest of the slayer progression.
Quest chains and economy at Final Selection
The NPC roster is the reason to detour here: The Sisters (start and complete the trial), Rem (fruit collection (apple, banana, grapes)), Vael (defeat 5 lesser demons), Klien & Rika (katana recovery and bandage treatment), and 4 more. Every named NPC marks a quest, a shop or a material source — talking to each one on your first visit is the cheapest way to unlock the services you will need later, because quest handoffs gate content in Slayers 2 more often than levels do. Boss farming note: Nezura, Fujiko, Hand Demon — chain them in one lap rather than making dedicated trips.
