One of the best things about Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is the big roster of characters it offers, unlike its predecessor. Players don’t just get to play as the Demon Slayers and demons from the original canon, but can also swing swords with their various versions. Some of these show how the characters grew in the anime, while others are just for fun looks (like the Academy versions).

Thankfully, the game also lets you play as a bunch of demons in both PvP and PvE, including ones from the first game and DLCs. This guide will break down all the playable characters in Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles 2 and how you can get them.

How to Unlock All Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba The Hinokami Chronicles 2 Characters

Most characters in Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 become available as you play through the story. You get them after finishing fights and mini-games in the storyline mode. But if you don’t want to wait, you can buy your beloved heroes and villains from the Kimetsu Points Shop in the Game Menu.

That way, you can skip the grinding and use strong fighters to snag rewards, or jump into online and offline battles right away. Just remember, not all characters work in Training Hashira mode, like Akaza, Rui, Enmu, Yahaba, Susamaru, and some others, but you can still easily use them in multiplayer battles.

How to Get Kimetsu Points Fast in Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2

how to get kimetsu points in demon slayer the hinokami chronicles 2

As of now, the only alternative way to get Demon Slayer fighters besides story progress is by buying them with Kimetsu Points, so playing smart can help stack points quickly and bring iconic characters into your collection early.

Kimetsu Points are little golden balls of light scattered around the story maps. You just bump into them to gather (each one gives you 100 points). A good way to rack them up is by choosing chapter stages with fewer consecutive fights and plenty of open space to explore. To get Kimetsu Points fast in Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2, replay these levels:

  • A Mission (Prologue: The Path We Thread)
  • The Entertainment District (Chapter 1)
  • Inosuke of House Ogimoto (Chapter 1)
  • A Disturbance (Chapter 2)

These are the starting missions, so even beginners can grab plenty of this currency. Since they respawn, you can keep farming by hopping onto the same stages repeatedly.
