How to Get Flower Breathing in Demonfall
Flower Breathing is Kanao Tsuyuri's agile style — added in Update 5.0 and balanced in Patch 5.5 when Petals Dance lost ragdoll and stun dropped to 1.1 seconds. Unlike yen-based trainers, Flower uses a three-flower fetch quest: find blooms on Trinket Mountain, under the Wisteria tree near the Thunder Hashira house, and inside Sun Mansion before Yoriichi's statue. Use Breath Indict first if you already have another breathing equipped.
Prerequisites
Consume a Breath Indict to clear your current Breathing Style — buy from the Mysterious Merchant in Hayakawa or Okuyia for 3,000 yen, or redeem from past expired codes like 100KLIKES that granted Breath Indict items. Without resetting, Kanao will not start the flower quest.
No Prestige or level 50 gate exists for Flower — accessible mid-game once you can reach Slayer Corps HQ and the three flower zones safely.
Starting Kanao's Quest
Travel to Slayer Corps HQ and find Kanao (Tsuyuri) sitting on a crate beside the clothing store. She asks for three beautiful flowers scattered across the world. Accept the quest and note each location before leaving — backtracking wastes time on long map routes.
See the trainer locations page for HQ coordinates relative to Kamakura fast travel.
Flower Location One — Trinket Mountain
The first flower grows atop the highest mountain past Final Selection entrance — often called Trinket Mountain in community guides. From Okuyia Village, take the path toward Final Selection; the mountain rises straight ahead where two routes split. Climb to the summit for the yellow flower pickup.
Bring Health Potions — demon spawns on the climb hit hard for mid-level accounts. Party clears help if you keep getting knocked off the path.
Flower Location Two — Wisteria Tree
The second flower sits at the foot of a Wisteria tree near the retired Thunder Hashira house in Coast Forest / Okuyia River region. Cross Fall's Bridge from Okuyia, head west toward the river, and locate the large wisteria with purple blossoms at its base.
This flower is the purple bloom — do not confuse with decorative map flowers that are not quest items.
Flower Location Three — Sun Mansion
The third flower stands inside Sun Mansion in front of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's statue. From Trinket Mountain area, travel northeast to the mansion entrance, pass through the building, and grab the flower before the statue and wooden quote sign.
Return all three flowers to Kanao at Slayer Corps. She teaches Flower Breathing immediately — five moves total, first move free, others cost three skill points each per Fandom wiki data.
Flower Breathing in Combat
Flower emphasizes agility, parry windows, and the Final Form Equinoctial Vermilion Eye — a 40-second focus mode that auto-parries M1s at the cost of ending when HP drops to 5. Patch 5.5 reduced Petals Dance stun — less oppressive in ranked but still viable for skilled players.
Flower sits outside S-tier on most July 2026 lists but rewards mastery — compare against Insect poison stall on the Breathing tier list before investing skill points.
