How to Become a Shinigami in Hollow Era

At the start of Hollow Era, you begin as a Soul Spirit. To transition into a Shinigami, or Soul Reaper, you must accept the initial quest from an NPC named Hurt Shinigami. She's calling for help, and once you take on the role of Shinigami, there's no going back to the Hollow path—unless you later become a Visored. If you're keen on playing as a Hollow, check out our separate guide on Hollow progression.

During the selection of paths, you need to act quickly. Choosing to become a Hollow involves breaking your chain, but opting for Shinigami means the chain will slowly start to break on its own. Every two minutes, a section of the chain breaks, and if you let it break completely, you'll turn into a Hollow. In that case, refer to our resurrection moves lists for your Hollow endgame.

Hollow Era Shinigami Quests Guide

Your first quest as a Shinigami is to purify 6 Lost Souls, aligning with the Shinigami's duty to maintain balance between life and death. After this, you'll receive another quest from an NPC near Hurt Shinigami, requiring you to deliver a letter to a Doctor friend near the hospital.

This is an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with your powers. Consider purchasing a $1,000 random sword of power from a Urakara shop. If you have the funds, use the bus stop for $200 as a teleport/fast travel option, as the map is vast and involves a lot of running. Alternatively, you can buy infinite fast travel for 149 Robux in the Robux Shop.

Subsequent quests are marked with a red crosshair. You'll start by defeating one Hollow, then five Corrupted Shinigamis, and so on, until you reach level 15. Quests are categorized into repeatable, progression, and path-specific quests, such as Vizard and Airwalk.

Full Soul Reaper Skill Tree and Reiatsu

To maximize your Shinigami Reiatsu, you need to strategically invest your skill points. The Reiatsu Skill Tree offers powerful Kido abilities exclusive to Shinigami characters.

Kido and Reiatsu Nodes are straightforward: Kido increases damage from Kido skills, while Reiatsu boosts your maximum Reiatsu output. Here are some Kido abilities and their descriptions:

• Caja Negacion: Forms a beam of lightning from your finger. When combined with Electric, it spreads electricity from the target.
• Shakkaho: A red energy ball forms in your hand, exploding upon impact. With Ragdoll, it can ragdoll opponents, and with Fire, it sets the foe ablaze.
• Chain Bind: Summons energy chains to wrap and pull enemies towards you.
• Prison of Light: Six light rods immobilize the enemy, ideal for agile foes.
• Thunder Sear: A slow-moving lightning ball causes electric damage and explodes on contact, perfect for crowd control.

How to Get Shikai in Hollow Era

To obtain Shikai in Hollow Era, you must reach level 15 and visit Urihiro to start the Shikai Training quest. Your task is to defeat Urahara Kisuke for 1,700 exp, unlocking Shikai powers upon completion.

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

Using Shikai

Upon unlocking Shikai, your weapon gains a random mighty ability. If you're not satisfied with the power, you can re-roll it at Urahara Shop for cash.

The game features a Rage Bar that fills with damage taken or dealt. When full, press Y (default keybind) to activate Shikai, which ends when you deplete your Reiatsu or release the key.

Hollow Era Shikai Mastering

Your Shikai Mastery Level depends on the Mastery Points you earn by using Shikai Skills. Higher Mastery Levels reduce the Rage spent during active usage and come with different aura effects and character appearances.

• 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 choose the Shinigami path, you can't switch to Hollow—unless you become a Visored. At level 50, you can unlock the Vizard fighting style at the Vizard’s Warehouse. Visoreds are Shinigami who have acquired Hollow powers, as per the Bleach canon.

To become a Visored, you'll need the Hogyoku, an orb that breaks the barriers between Hollow and Shinigami. To obtain it, defeat the King of Hueco Mundo, though the drop rate is only 1%. This is just the first step; next, you must master the Vizard fighting style.

Hollow Era Visored Mastering

As a Visored, you gain perks like Mask Control, reducing the chance of Hollow control, and the Visored node, which extends mask-wearing time and boosts damage output with Hollow powers.

Visored Abilities in Hollow Era

• Hollow Mask: Allows you to control your inner Hollow and wear the mask at will.
• Cero: Charges a beam of Reiatsu for significant damage.
• Final Cero: Pins the enemy down and crushes them with a powerful Cero from above.
• Vasto Rage: Temporarily transforms you into the mightiest Hollow type, unleashing your full potential.

What About Hollow Era Bankai?

At the time of writing, Bankai is not available in Hollow Era. However, given the game's popularity, it's likely to be added in future updates. No release date has been confirmed yet, so we'll have to wait and hope for a Bankai update soon.

Hollow Era Tips and Tricks

• Use the lockup button to fix your primary enemy target, especially useful during laggy or buggy moments.
• Learn how to block enemy attacks early on to mitigate damage from even low-level enemies.
• Invest in bus teleport to save time traveling across the map.
• Prioritize Strength and Speed when allocating Skill Points for better damage output and mobility.
• Press and hold J (default keybind) to reveal markers around Karakura using your Reiatsu sense.
• If you dislike repetitive tasks, the Shinigami path might be more enjoyable than the Hollow path.
