Unlocking all cursed techniques in Heian can be challenging without a clear guide. This post breaks down where to find every curse technique trainer and the key steps to unlock their powers. Whether you’re aiming for Limitless, Shrine techniques, Medical Beast Amber (MBA), or others, this guide has you covered.
1. Ratio Technique Trainer (Beginner’s Town)
- Location: Beginner’s Town
- How to Get There: Head to the backside of Beginner’s Town, climb a structure behind the main spawn, and the trainer will be waiting there.
- Requirement: None
Start your journey at the beginner’s town. Head to the backside area where the trainer is located. Simply follow the path, climb up, and you’ll find the Ratio technique trainer waiting. Talking to him will unlock the Ratio curse technique.
2. Auspicious Beast Curse Trainer (Beginner’s Town)
- Location: Also near Beginner’s Town
- How to Get There: From the Ratio trainer area, follow the cliff paths and move upward. You’ll eventually find the NPC trainer standing on a ledge.
- Requirement: None
Nearby, still in the beginner’s town, you can find the Auspicious Beast curse trainer. Follow the path carefully to the designated area. This trainer teaches you the Auspicious Beast curse technique, essential for many builds.
3. Ice Formation Trainer (Tundra Area)
- Location: Tundra Area
- Requirement: Flower is required to train here. It can be found further up after some climbing and parkour near the same tundra area.
The Ice Formation technique requires a trip to the tundra. Use the fast travel point nearby for convenience. From there, navigate to a small cave where the trainer is located. Note: To learn this skill, you need a special flower item—more on how to get it below.
4. Medical Beast Amber (MBA) Trainer (High Climb Area)
- Location: Above the Ice Formation area
- Requirement: Survive lightning hazards, complete parkour.
This one is trickier. The MBA trainer is found by climbing a challenging path with parkour elements involving slippery ice. You’ll need patience to jump, hold space to cling, and carefully dash past the icy parts. At the top, you’ll find the trainer who assigns a quest and may hit you with lightning if you’re not careful.
5. Limitless Trainer (After MBA Area)
- Location: Across the bridge near Mythical Beast Amber area
From the MBA trainer’s location, head down, cross a bridge, and find a small hut. To access this trainer, you must be part of the Gojo clan or present the Kanji jewel as a Michizane. Progression requires meeting these conditions. Make sure you also defeat the calamity boss nearby to spawn the NPC.
6. Projection Curse Technique Trainer (Beginner’s Town)
- Location: Near Beginner’s Town
- How to Get There: From the town center, head into the wilderness and follow the route shown in the video to reach a remote trainer area.
- Requirement: None
Back in the beginner’s town, follow the path to another town area to find the Projection trainer. This technique offers unique offensive and defensive capabilities.
7. Curse Energy Discharge Trainer (Near Projection Trainer)
- Location: Hidden Tree Village
- Requirement: Cursed Output is needed.
From the Projection trainer, head straight through the gate and climb a tree near a big tree with a rope leading to a secret village. At the end, you’ll find the Curse Energy Discharge trainer inside a house. You’ll need some cursed output to learn this technique.
8. Shrine Trainer (Behind the Gate Near Projection Trainer)
- Location: Opposite side of the gate near Projection Trainer
- Requirement: None
From the same gate near the Projection trainer, take a left into a secret cave. Grab the runestone inside, and you’ll find the Shrine curse technique trainer waiting.
9. Blood Manipulation Trainer (Above Shrine Trainer Area)
- Location: Above the Shrine trainer’s cave
- Requirement: Must have killed 3 players.
Climb up from the Shrine trainer’s spot to a waterfall area. Behind the waterfall is a secret cave housing the Blood Manipulation trainer. The only requirement here is to kill three enemies before learning this technique.
10. Sword Saint Trainer (Below Auspicious Beast Area)

From the auspicious beast region, walk straight (no climbing) to a secret village. The Sword Saint trainer is located here and offers sword mastery techniques.
11. Blazing Guards Trainer (Beginner Village Right Side)

- Requirement: Use Ash to interact with the flames.
From the beginner village, head right to a large pit. Go down and follow the path, passing runestones until you reach a samurai area. Interact with the ash and flames to gain entry and meet the Blazing Guards trainer.
