Overview

Zentaro carries the Thunder King title for good reason. He is the Thunder Breathing trainer and a weapon boss in the same encounter, sitting high on the mountain route near Windy Peak, on a plateau that guides also place within the Verdant Cliffs area. Reaching him at all is the first test.

Thunder is described as one of the strongest duelling styles in the launch build, with a gap-closer that breaks guard on contact, so the training is worth the climb. The same encounter drops the Thunder Katana at 5%, which is why players farm him long after the style is unlocked.

Title:Thunder King
Location:Mountain plateau near Windy Peak
Region:Starter highlands / Verdant Cliffs
Role:Thunder Breathing trainer
Weapon drop:Thunder Katana (5%)
Level gate:25

Climbing to the Thunder King

Start from Windy Peak and head uphill rather than out toward the coast. The trainer sits on an elevated platform along the mountain route, and the approach is described as similar terrain to the cliffs used for the other high trainers. Wall Climb is treated as essential, so unlock it before you attempt the ascent.

The location is also given as below the Obanai encounter on the Hidden Mist side, which is a useful second bearing if the mountain path is not obvious. Whichever approach you take, the climb is the reason so many players reach level 25 without ever unlocking Thunder.

Unlike a hidden wall, Zentaro is not concealed, only elevated. The difficulty is entirely vertical. Bring a mount only if the route allows it, and expect to walk the final stretch on foot where the ground narrows. Falling is the most common reason for a second attempt.

Thunder Training Requirements

Thunder is described as a doubly gated style, which is why its training feels heavier than the other early options. The table separates the personal requirements from the equipment gate, and the full comparison sits in the Thunder Breathing guide.

Budget a material farm before routing to Zentaro; the axe and mace gate is the slowest part of the unlock.

Unlocking Thunder Breathing

Work through the steps in order, because the equipment gate blocks the training entirely. If you arrive with the level and the movement ability but no axe and mace, Zentaro will not start the chain, and the climb becomes a wasted trip.

The final training objective is a fight rather than a fetch task, so keep your stamina and a backup blade ready. Once the chain clears, Thunder Breathing becomes available and the style's gap-closer can be levelled through normal combat, which is where the mastery grind begins.

1

Reach level 25

Level through the Windy Peak and bear-area quest chains first.

2

Unlock Wall Climb

The plateau approach is described as impossible without it.

3

Prepare the axe and mace

Farm the set item that unlocks the weapons the trainer wants.

4

Climb the mountain route

Take the elevated platform path above the bear area toward the plateau.

5

Clear six objectives

Finish the training chain, ending with the Thunder Trainee fight.

6

Farm the Thunder Katana

Return to the encounter and roll the 5% weapon drop.

Thunder is gated twice, so a player without the axe and mace can climb the whole route and still leave with nothing.

Why Thunder Is Worth It

Thunder earns its reputation in PvP, but it is a strong progression pick too. The cards below cover what the style offers and what the Zentaro farm adds on top, and the boss index shows how the stop fits the wider route.

Burst gap-closer

Thunderclap and Flash has negligible startup and breaks guard on contact.

Duelling strength

Community testing rates Thunder at the top of the PvP ladder.

Elevated route

The plateau climb doubles as a movement ability check.

Weapon reward

The Thunder Katana rolls at 5% from the same encounter.

Unlock the style and the katana in the same session; the climb is the expensive part, not the farming loop.

Zentaro Quick Reference

The Zentaro stop is short once the requirements are met, and this list keeps every gate visible. It is written for players who have already reached level 25 and want to avoid a second climb, so check it before you leave the early villages.

After the unlock, the natural follow-up is mastery. Thunder levels separately from your character level, so maxing the 255 cap does not finish the moveset and the style keeps improving with use. Treat the katana farm as a side objective while the style matures.

  • Known as the Thunder King in community coverage
  • Sits on an elevated mountain plateau near Windy Peak
  • Also located below the Obanai encounter on the Hidden Mist bearing
  • Wall Climb is essential for the approach
  • Training requires level 25 and an axe and mace set
  • Drops the Thunder Katana at 5%

Farming the Thunder Katana

Once Thunder Breathing is unlocked, Zentaro becomes a straightforward repeat farm. The 5% katana is one of eight named boss weapons, and it is the base blade that later work feeds into, so duplicates are not wasted even after you have your first copy.

Clear speed is the only variable you control. There is no published pity system, so the realistic plan is to settle into a short loop, bank the Wen you pick up on the way and stop when the drop lands rather than grinding past the point of usefulness.

Level 25 is the listed entry requirement. You also need Wall Climb and an axe and mace set before he will begin the training chain.

Thunder is gated twice. The trainer wants the axe and mace, and the item that unlocks that set comes from a boss at a low drop rate.

The Thunder Katana at 5%. It is one of the eight named boss weapons and serves as a base blade for later forging.

How many training objectives does Zentaro have?

Yes. Community testing places Thunder at the top of the duelling ladder because Thunderclap and Flash closes distance instantly and breaks guard on contact.

Do I need a mount to reach Zentaro?

A mount can help on the lower route, but the final plateau stretch is on foot. Wall Climb is the requirement that actually matters.
