Start Slayer with Kuren
Unlock Slayer in Melvor Idle 2 by making a Stone Sword and cooking 10 Shrimp, then select Kuren for your starting assignment. Defeat the assigned enemy for the required kill count to complete the task and receive its Slayer rewards.
These instructions cover Demo 0.11.4, where skills are capped at level 60. Early Access has an announced level cap of 99. Use the Demo requirements below while playing the Demo.
Unlock combat to access Slayer
If Combat is already open, move straight to choosing a master. For a fresh character, follow the gathering and production route below to meet the combat unlock requirements.
- Train Woodcutting to level 2 to unlock Fishing and Mining, which supply the starting route into combat.
- Train Mining to level 2 to unlock Smithing and gain access to the skill used to make your starting sword.
- Make a Stone Sword at Smithing level 1 using 2 Stone to meet the weapon requirement for unlocking combat.
- Catch 20 Raw Shrimp to unlock Cooking, allowing you to prepare the food needed for the combat unlock.
- Cook 10 Shrimp to complete the food requirement; together with making the Stone Sword, this unlocks the combat disciplines, including Slayer.
Choose an available Demo master
Start with Kuren, then reconsider your master when your Slayer level opens another choice. Compare the base assignment length with how long you want to stay on a task. Keep the reroll price in mind before spending your Slayer Coins.
| Master | Details |
|---|---|
| Kuren | Initial Slayer tier; base task length: 15 kills; reroll: 250 Slayer Coins. |
| Allevia | Requires Slayer level 10; base task length: 25 kills; reroll: 750 Slayer Coins. |
| Satsgar | Requires Slayer level 20; base task length: 35 kills; reroll: 1,500 Slayer Coins. |
| Fells | Requires Slayer level 30; base task length: 45 kills; reroll: 2,500 Slayer Coins. |
| Galan | Requires Slayer level 40; base task length: 55 kills; reroll: 3,500 Slayer Coins. |
| Hans | Requires Slayer level 50; base task length: 65 kills; reroll: 5,000 Slayer Coins. |
These are base task lengths, so follow the required kill count on your active assignment. A master's kill requirement is drawn between its minimum and maximum task lengths. Feriken, Telbran, Mariabelle and Zaos are unavailable in the Demo.
Complete your assigned enemy kills
- Select an unlocked Slayer master to receive an enemy assignment from that master's areas.
- Read the assigned enemy and required kill count so you know exactly which target the task asks you to defeat.
- Fight the assigned enemy to work toward the requested kills; selecting its combat area starts combat.
- Finish the required kills to complete the assignment and receive its Slayer rewards.
Rerolls, blocking and task extensions
Reroll when you want to replace an assignment, using the price for your current master in the table above. Rerolls cost Slayer Coins. Compare that spend with the equipment or permit you are saving for.
Masters choose with equal chance among the enemies in their areas that you have not blocked. Task-block slots depend on completed tasks. Check whether a slot is available before planning around blocking an unwanted enemy.
Before confirming a task extension, check its displayed extension cost and review the assignment details. Consider extending when you want to spend longer on that target. Keep the active task's required kill count as your guide.
Meet the Slayer zone entry requirements
Check area access as well as master access before tackling an assignment. Some Slayer zones need both a Slayer level and the Copper Slayer Permit. Meeting the level requirement alone does not replace that permit.
| Zone | Entry requirements |
|---|---|
| Slime Forest | No additional area entry requirement. |
| Stinging Nest | Slayer level 15. |
| Toxic Bog | Slayer level 25 and the Copper Slayer Permit. |
| Dragon's Pass | Slayer level 40 and the Copper Slayer Permit. |
| Blackstone Basin | Slayer level 50 and the Copper Slayer Permit. |
Use completed tasks to open more progression
Completed Slayer tasks also contribute to dungeon and shop unlocks. If your next goal is the Copper Slayer Permit, work toward its task and dungeon requirements while saving for the purchase.
- Complete 5 Slayer tasks to unlock the Venom Pit and meet the task requirement for the Copper Slayer Permit.
- Clear Harvest Farm 10 times to meet the Copper Slayer Permit's dungeon-clear requirement.
The Basic Slayer Gauntlet is another task milestone: purchasing it requires Slayer level 20 and 15 completed Slayer tasks, and costs 12,067 Slayer Coins. Choose which purchase you want to work toward before spending heavily on rerolls.
Check the next assignment before idling
Treat completing a task and starting another assignment as separate checkpoints in the Demo. Check for an active task after an assignment ends; if none is active, select an available master for a fresh assignment. Plan to check back between tasks instead of relying on unrestricted automatic task chaining.
- Master still locked: compare your Slayer level with that master's requirement before trying to select it.
- Task progress stalled: check that the enemy you are fighting matches the enemy on your active assignment.
- Reroll decision: check your current master's Slayer Coin price before replacing a task you could otherwise complete.
- Assignment finished: verify that another task is active before leaving Slayer combat unattended.
