Shinigami Progression Guide: Mastering the Hollow Era

*Hollow Era* is a thrilling Roblox game inspired by the **Bleach** anime universe. This comprehensive guide will help you navigate your journey as a **Shinigami (Soul Reaper)**, one of the two playable archetypes, with **Hollow** being the other. Prepare to wield your sword and harness your Reiatsu as we explore the *Hollow Era* Shinigami progression path in detail.

How to Become a Shinigami in Hollow Era

Starting as a **Soul Spirit**, your first step to becoming a Shinigami involves accepting a quest from the NPC named **Hurt Shinigami**. She's calling for help, and by choosing to assist her, you commit to the Shinigami path. This decision is irreversible unless you later decide to become a **Visored**. If you're set on playing as a Hollow instead, check out our Hollow progression guide.

You must act quickly during the path selection phase. Choosing to be a Hollow requires you to break your chain, but opting for Shinigami means the chain will start breaking slowly regardless of your actions. Every two minutes, a section of the chain breaks, and if it fully breaks, you'll become a Hollow. If this happens, our guide on **resurrection moves** will help you navigate your new Hollow journey.

Hollow Era Shinigami Quests Guide

Your initial task as a Shinigami is to purify 6 Lost Souls, aligning with your role in maintaining the balance between life and death. After this, you'll find the next quest near the Hurt Shinigami, requiring you to deliver a letter to a Doctor friend near the hospital.

These early quests are perfect for mastering your new powers. Consider purchasing a $1,000 random sword of power from a Urakara shop to enhance your capabilities. If you can afford it, the bus stop offers a teleport/fast travel option for $200, which is invaluable given the game's expansive map. Alternatively, you can purchase **infinite fast travel** for 149 Robux from the Robux Shop menu.

Subsequent quests are marked with a red crosshair, guiding you to defeat Hollows, tackle Corrupted Shinigamis, and more, until you reach level 15. Quests in *Hollow Era* include repeatable tasks, progression quests, and those linked to specific paths like Vizard and Airwalk.

Full Soul Reaper Skill Tree and Reiatsu

To maximize your Shinigami's potential, strategic investment of skill points in your **Reiatsu Skill Tree** is essential. This tree features powerful **Kido** abilities, exclusive to Shinigami characters.

Kido and Reiatsu Nodes enhance your Kido damage and maximum Reiatsu output, respectively. Here's a breakdown of key Kido abilities:

• **Caja Negacion**: Launches a beam of lightning from your finger. When combined with **Electric**, it spreads electricity from the target.
• **Shakkaho**: Generates a red energy ball in your hand that explodes on impact. With **Ragdoll**, it can knock back opponents; with **Fire**, it ignites them.
• **Chain Bind**: Summons energy chains to pull enemies towards you.
• **Prison of Light**: Encircles the enemy with six light rods, immobilizing them. Ideal for dealing with agile foes.
• **Thunder Sear**: A slow-moving ball of lightning that damages and explodes on contact, perfect for crowd control.

How to Get Shikai in Hollow Era

Reaching level 15 allows you to unlock **Shikai** by visiting Urihiro and undertaking the **Shikai Training** quest. This involves defeating **Urahara Kisuke** for a reward of 1,700 EXP, after which you can utilize Shikai powers.

**Warning**: If your hero isn't fully optimized, defeating Kisuke at level 15 might be challenging. Consider grinding up to level 25 or higher before attempting this.

Using Shikai

Upon unlocking Shikai, your weapon gains a **random mighty ability**. If unsatisfied with the new power, you can re-roll it at Urahara Shop for a fee. Shikai activation requires a full Rage Bar, filled by taking or dealing damage. Press Y (default keybind) to activate, and it ends when your Reiatsu is depleted or you release the key.

Hollow Era Shikai Mastering

Your Shikai Mastery Level increases with Mastery Points earned from using Shikai Skills. Higher Mastery Levels mean less Rage spent during Shikai use, and each level grants different aura effects and character enhancements:

• **Mastery Level 1**: 1-149 Points, grants Transparent Aura.
• **Mastery Level 2**: 150-299 Points, grants a brighter aura with particles.
• **Mastery Level 3**: 300-499 Points, grants a Lightning boost.
• **Mastery Level 4**: 500+ Points, grants a zone of flying stones around you.

Becoming a Visored in the Hollow Era

Once you're a Shinigami, you can't revert to a Hollow, but becoming a **Visored** allows you to break the barrier between Hollow and Shinigami, using a **Hollow Mask** to switch between forms. To pursue this path, you must reach **level 50** or higher and unlock the Vizard fighting style at **Vizard’s Warehouse**.

The journey to becoming a Visored involves acquiring **Hogyoku**, a rare item dropped by defeating the **King of Hueco Mundo** with a mere 1% drop rate. This is just the beginning of your Visored progression.

Hollow Era Visored Mastering

As a Visored, you gain **Mask Control** to reduce the chance of being controlled by your inner Hollow, and the **Visored** node extends mask-wearing time, boosting damage output when using Hollow powers.

Visored Abilities in Hollow Era

• **Hollow Mask**: Grants control over your inner Hollow, allowing you to wear it on command.
• **Cero**: Charges a beam of Reiatsu, dealing significant damage.
• **Final Cero**: Pins the enemy down and crushes them with a powerful Cero from above.
• **Vasto Rage**: Transforms you into the mightiest Hollow type for a limited time, unleashing your full potential.

What About Hollow Era Bankai?

Currently, **Bankai** is not available in *Hollow Era*. However, given the game's popularity, future updates may include this feature. Stay tuned for any announcements regarding its release.

Hollow Era Tips and Tricks

• Use **the lockup button** to focus on your primary target during combat, especially helpful when the game lags or bugs out.
• Master **blocking enemy attacks** early on to mitigate damage from even low-level foes.
• Invest in **bus teleport** for efficient travel across the map.
• When allocating Skill Points, prioritize **Strength and Speed** for initial damage output and mobility.
• Press and hold **J** (default keybind) to reveal markers around **Karakura** using your Reiatsu sense.
• If you prefer less grind and more action, the Shinigami path might be more enjoyable than the Hollow route, which involves more repetitive tasks.

This guide wraps up the *Hollow Era* Shinigami progression. Remember, the game is still in development, so expect some bugs and lag. To give yourself an early boost, don't forget to claim your *Hollow Era* codes!
