The Final Selection is a challenge that "potential-slayers" need to complete in order to become a recognized Demon Slayer by the Demon Slayer Corps. This exam is intended for humans, but hybrids may be able to enter as well if they can withstand the wisteria tree damage. Demons cannot enter the exam area as it is surrounded by Wisteria Trees (You will get burned if you are near). The Final Selection consists of a challenge to kill 30 demons with an optional challenge of killing the Blue Demon within 45 minutes.
The Blue Demon[]
The Blue Demon is an optional mission because killing him is a huge waste of time and is not worth it as this "boss" gives no XP at all. This boss drops a "Blue Horn". This item is useless unless you want Beast Breathing. It is not recommended to engaging into combat with him. The Blue Demon can also damage and knock-out other demons when attacking you. When you are on the ground, it cannot kill you, so if you are going to try and kill the Blue Demon, kill the other demons around him first. In other words, the blue demon cannot execute you.
Holy cow that's a lot of demons!
Tips[]
- Acquire the lunge ability (two skill point from the skill tree) because it may help you cause the A.I of the regular demons mostly fail to process lunge's range. It functions as a reliable combo starter and extra M1.
- If you meet a demon with a Blood Demon Art, run away from the demon in question unless you are confident you can kill them. They have increased health and they do a lot more damage with their added skills.
- Try to execute the demons as quickly as you can, because if you don't finish them they can get back up again. Try to down every single demon in the area before beheading; the others will use your animation to land hits if you don't.
- It is recommended to get a Breathing Style before you attempt the final selection, as it will make it much easier but is not required to finish Final Selection.
- Learn how to Parry aka Perfect block (blocking at the right moment causes you to perform a counterattack, where you sweep the legs of your opponent out from under them, dealing ~4 damage and ragdolling.
- Doing it with a friend or in a group makes it much easier as you can take on multiple enemies at once from different places.
- Level up a bit and put points into your skill tree.
- Try to find and join hand to kill Kaigaku for lots of exp, this is the best way for levels rushing.
- Prepare a lot of food to keep your hunger bar up, which increases your health regeneration significantly.
- Sprint and dash away, do not get on top of a building. The demons know how to climb, so just run, while keeping an eye out of other groups of demons; you don't want to run into them.
- Take your time and don't panic, since you have unlimited tries.
- You can choose to not complete the Final Selection in order to grind for materials and levels, but regular demons don't give much experience, and this particular blue demon gives none at all.
- If you meet the blue demon use him to damage the other demons. Otherwise, stay out of his way; his detection radius is large and will chase you for quite some time, if not indefinitely.
- If you have a large number of demons chasing after you, do not try to use M1s or M2s, use ranged moves instead. If you do not have any, run away and find smaller groups of demons to take out.
Additional Information[]
Additionally, please note that people who have already completed the exam cannot enter in the final selection with you. If you want to do it as a squad or team, you need to team up with people who haven't completed the exam yet. However if you can't find a teammate or squad member, you can ask your friend if they have an alt account that hasn't completed the final selection and they can use that account to play and help you complete the final selection. To summarize, demon slayer/hunters cannot help you complete the exam, so find one or multiple person/people who haven't done the exam or ask your friend(s) to use their alt account to help you.
When you finish the final selection, you will earn 1,000 yen, 20 sun ores, and the Slayer Uniform. Note that the slayer uniform cannot be unequipped or removed after it is gained.
Tip: When you die to final selection demons, you won't lose any EXP or money, thus, making it a good grinding spot for non-slayers.
Note: If your friend is going to use an alt account, make sure the alt account is (at least) 5 days old. If it is not, the alt account won't be able to play Demonfall.
