Overview

Akaza is one of the hardest encounters in the game and one of the most hidden. He waits around the Windy Peak cliffs behind a concealed wall that looks like ordinary scenery, so most players walk straight past the entrance on their first few trips. Bring patience and a movement ability.

Beating him is only half the reward. Akaza is tied to the Shockwave Blood Demon Art, built around the Destructive Death and Compass Needle moves, and the community pairs the character with the Soyama clan, a Supreme-tier roll. That combination is the real goal.

Location:Windy Peak cliffs, behind a concealed wall
Region:Windy Peak / starter highlands
Blood Demon Art:Shockwave (Destructive Death / Compass Needle)
Associated clan:Soyama (Supreme tier, 0.1-4% band)
Path:Demon
Entrance:Hidden behind a fake wall

Akaza Run Showcase

This survival challenge follows the full Akaza fantasy from a fresh character to a transformed demon. It shows the cliff route, the moment the concealed wall opens and the Shockwave kit in real combat, which is far more useful than reading a move list before you attempt the climb yourself.

Getting to the Cliff

Travel to Windy Peak first, because the cliff network branches off the starter highlands. From there, follow the rock face rather than the path and watch for a section that does not match the surrounding texture. Pressing into it opens the way to Akaza, so the real skill is recognising a wall that was never meant to be a wall.

Movement abilities remove most of the frustration. Guides describe the same Windy Peak climb used to reach the Thunder trainer, and Wall Climb is treated as essential for the mountain routes. Arrive with your kit ready rather than making the trip twice.

Once inside, treat the fight like a duel rather than a damage race. Akaza's Shockwave tools are built to punish predictable swings, and the art's counters reward players who bait an attack before answering. Learn the spacing first and the clear comes much faster than brute force.

Shockwave Kit Breakdown

Shockwave is the Blood Demon Art tied to Akaza, and it is a brawling art rather than a ranged one. The table groups the tools the showcase highlights so you know what each part of the kit is actually for before you spend skill points on a demon build.

AbilityInput styleWhy it matters
Destructive DeathTapThe core damage tool you build combos around
Compass NeedleHoldAn extended variant for closing distance or finishing
CounterReactivePunishes an opponent who commits to a predictable swing
Aerial useAirborneKeeps pressure up while you reposition above the target
PositioningSpacingSets the gap before the boss can answer your opener
Tap and hold versions of the same move behave differently, so test both before you commit a build to Shockwave.

How to Reach and Beat Akaza

The route is short but easy to miss, and the fight punishes anyone who arrives underprepared. Follow the steps below in order, and remember that the Shockwave art is a demon reward, so a Slayer character can find and fight Akaza without ever unlocking the kit behind him.

Expect to make more than one attempt. The concealed wall, the cliff climb and the duel itself each fail for different reasons, and fixing one problem at a time is faster than rebuilding your entire progression plan around a single boss.

1

Reach Windy Peak

Start from the starter highlands and follow the main road until the cliff network opens up.

2

Hug the cliff base

Leave the marked path and inspect the rock face for a section that looks slightly wrong.

3

Test the concealed wall

Push into the suspicious wall to reveal the hidden route that leads to Akaza.

4

Fight with counters ready

Bait one attack, answer with Shockwave-style pressure, then reset your spacing.

5

Become a demon for the art

The Shockwave unlock sits on the demon path, so plan that route separately.

Akaza is tied to a demon art, so a Slayer cannot use the Shockwave kit just by winning the fight.

What to Bring

Preparation decides whether the trip is a fifteen minute detour or an hour of walking. The four items below cover the gaps that catch most players, and none of them require endgame gear, only a little planning before you leave the Windy Peak starting area.

Wall Climb

The cliff climb is treated as essential for reaching the mountain routes.

Stamina buffer

Long fights punish an empty stamina bar more than low health.

Demon path

Shockwave requires the demon transformation before it can be used.

Pattern practice

Learn one bait-and-answer cycle before adding more damage to your build.

Make the trip once with a full inventory and a clear quest log so you can chain the fight straight into the demon route.

Akaza Facts at a Glance

Akaza is also known as Hakuji Soyama, and community videos connect the encounter to the Soyama clan roll as well as the Shockwave art. That dual reward is why so many players treat him as a milestone boss instead of a routine farm. The full boss list places him late in the Windy Peak section.

He does not hand out a Nichirin katana the way the breathing-style bosses do. His value is the art unlock and the clan chase, and both of those feed directly into a demon build rather than a Slayer one. That is why he is usually fought once rather than farmed on a loop.

  • Also known as Hakuji Soyama in community coverage
  • Located on the Windy Peak cliffs behind a concealed wall
  • Tied to the Shockwave Blood Demon Art
  • Shockwave includes Destructive Death and Compass Needle
  • Community builds pair the character with the Soyama clan
  • Best approached after unlocking a movement ability such as Wall Climb
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly is Akaza in Project Slayers 2?

He is around the Windy Peak cliffs, behind a concealed wall. Inspect the rock face for a section that looks out of place and push into it.

What level should I be for Akaza?

No fixed level is published, but the Windy Peak mountain route is usually tackled after the early quest chains, so arrive with Wall Climb and a comfortable stamina pool.

What does Akaza drop?

His main value is progression rather than a katana. He is tied to the Shockwave Blood Demon Art and community builds connect him to the Soyama clan roll.

What is the Shockwave art?

It is a Blood Demon Art built around Destructive Death and Compass Needle, with tap, hold, counter and aerial variants that reward close-range pressure.

Can a Slayer unlock Shockwave?

No. Blood Demon Arts belong to the demon path, so you need to complete the demon transformation before the Shockwave kit becomes usable.

Is Akaza worth farming repeatedly?

Only if you still need the art or the associated clan. Once both are settled there is little reason to repeat the fight over the easier weapon bosses.

Do I need a group for Akaza?

Not necessarily, but the fight is far more forgiving with a second player to split aggro while you learn the counter windows.
