How to Become a Shinigami in Hollow Era

In Hollow Era, you start as a Soul Spirit, essentially dead and wandering. To become a Shinigami, or Soul Reaper, you must accept the first quest from an NPC named Hurt Shinigami. She's calling for help, and by accepting her plea, you commit to the path of a Shinigami, locking you out of becoming a Hollow unless you later become a Visored. If you're set on playing as a Hollow, check our separate guide on Hollow progression.

During the selection process between Shinigami and Hollow, you must act quickly. Choosing Hollow requires breaking your chain, but opting for Shinigami means the chain will slowly break on its own every two minutes. If it fully breaks, you'll automatically become a Hollow. In such a case, refer to our resurrection moves lists to understand your new Hollow capabilities.

Hollow Era Shinigami Quests Guide

Your initial quest as a Shinigami involves purifying 6 Lost Souls, aligning with the Shinigami's duty to maintain balance between life and death. After completing this, you'll receive your next task from an NPC near Hurt Shinigami: delivering a letter to a Doctor friend near the hospital.

This early stage is ideal for mastering your powers. Consider purchasing a $1,000 random sword of power from a Urahara shop. If you have the funds, use the bus stop for $200 as a teleport/fast travel option, as the map is expansive and involves considerable running. Alternatively, you can spend 149 Robux in the Robux Shop for infinite fast travel.

Quests continue to be marked with a red crosshair, guiding you through various tasks such as defeating Hollows and Corrupted Shinigamis. These quests are categorized into repeatable, progression, and path-specific quests like Vizard and Airwalk, available up to level 15.

Full Soul Reaper Skill Tree and Reiatsu

To maximize your Shinigami's Reiatsu, strategic investment of skill points is crucial. The Reiatsu Skill Tree features powerful abilities known as Kido, exclusive to Shinigami.

Kido and Reiatsu Nodes enhance your damage output and maximum Reiatsu respectively. Below are some key Kido abilities:

Caja Negacion: Emit a lightning beam from your finger. When combined with Electric, it spreads electricity from the target. Shakkaho: Generate a red energy ball that explodes on impact. With Ragdoll, it can knock opponents back, and with Fire, it can ignite them. Chain Bind: Summon energy chains to pull enemies toward you. Prison of Light: Encapsulate enemies with six light rods, immobilizing them effectively against agile foes. Thunder Sear: Launch a slow-moving lightning ball that damages nearby enemies and explodes on contact, ideal for crowd control.

How to Get Shikai in Hollow Era

To unlock Shikai, reach level 15 and visit Urihiro to undertake the Shikai Training quest. You'll need to defeat Urahara Kisuke for 1,700 exp, enabling you to use Shikai powers.

Warning: Facing Kisuke at level 15 can be challenging without an optimized hero. Consider grinding up to level 25 or higher before attempting this.

Using Shikai

Upon unlocking Shikai, your weapon gains a random mighty ability. If you're unsatisfied with the ability, you can re-roll it at the Urahara Shop for a fee. Shikai activation requires filling your Rage Bar, which you can do by dealing or receiving damage. Once full, press Y (default keybind) to activate Shikai, which deactivates 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 reduce the Rage spent during active use and come with distinct aura effects and visual 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 committed to the Shinigami path, you can't switch to Hollow without becoming a Visored. This transformation requires reaching level 50 and unlocking the Vizard fighting style at the Vizard’s Warehouse.

To become a Visored, you must obtain Hogyoku, an orb that breaks the barrier between Shinigami and Hollow. Hogyoku drops from defeating the King of Hueco Mundo, with a mere 1% drop rate. This is the first step toward Visored progression, followed by mastering the Vizard fighting style.

Hollow Era Visored Mastering

As a Visored, you gain access to Mask Control, reducing the risk of Hollow control, and the Visored node, which extends mask-wear time and boosts damage output when using Hollow powers.

Visored Abilities in Hollow Era

Hollow Mask: Grants control over your inner Hollow, allowing you to wear the mask at will. Cero: Charge a beam of Reiatsu for significant damage. Final Cero: Pin and crush enemies with a powerful Reiatsu beam from above. Vasto Rage: Temporarily transform into the most powerful Hollow type, unleashing your full potential.

What About Hollow Era Bankai?

Currently, Bankai is not available in Hollow Era. Given the game's popularity, future updates may introduce Bankai, but no release date has been confirmed.

Hollow Era Tips and Tricks

When combat becomes disorienting, use the lockup button to focus on your primary target, especially helpful in laggy situations. Learn to block enemy attacks early to mitigate damage, as even low-level enemies can be dangerous. Invest in bus teleport for efficient travel across the expansive map. Prioritize Strength and Speed when allocating Skill Points for better early-game performance. Use Reiatsu sense by pressing and holding J (default keybind) to locate markers around Karakura. If repetitive tasks deter you, consider playing as a Shinigami over a Hollow, as Hollow gameplay involves more grind.

This concludes our Hollow Era Shinigami progression guide. Remember, the game is still in development, so expect bugs and lag. Until these are resolved, take advantage of Hollow Era codes to boost your early gameplay experience.
