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 first quest from an NPC named Hurt Shinigami, who is seeking help. Once you commit to this path, you can't switch to a Hollow unless you later become a Visored. If you're interested in the Hollow path, check out our separate guide on Hollow progression.

During the selection between Shinigami and Hollow, you must act quickly. Choosing to become a Hollow requires breaking your chain, whereas opting for Shinigami means the chain will slowly break on its own every two minutes. If you let the chain break completely, you'll turn into a Hollow. In this scenario, our resurrection moves lists guide will help you with your Hollow endgame.

Hollow Era Shinigami Quests Guide

Your initial quest as a Shinigami is to purify 6 Lost Souls, aligning with the Shinigami's role in maintaining the 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.

Use this opportunity to familiarize yourself with your powers. Consider purchasing a $1,000 random sword of power from a Urahara shop. If your budget allows, utilize the bus stop for $200 as a teleport/fast travel option, given the game's large map. Alternatively, for 149 Robux, you can purchase infinite fast travel from the Robux Shop menu.

Subsequent quests are marked with a red crosshair. You'll progress by defeating Hollows, Corrupted Shinigamis, and more until you reach level 15. Quests include repeatable tasks, progression quests, and path-specific quests like those for Vizard and Airwalk.

Full Soul Reaper Skill Tree and Reiatsu

To maximize your Shinigami Reiatsu, strategically allocate your skill points. The Reiatsu Skill Tree offers powerful Kido abilities exclusive to Shinigami. Here’s a breakdown:

• Kido Nodes: Increase the damage dealt with Kido skills.
• Reiatsu Nodes: Boost your maximum Reiatsu output.

Key Kido abilities include:

• Caja Negacion: A lightning beam from your finger, which spreads electricity when combined with Electric.
• Shakkaho: A red energy ball that explodes on impact, enhanced with Ragdoll to knock back foes or Fire to ignite them.
• Chain Bind: Summons energy chains to pull enemies towards you.
• Prison of Light: Immobilizes enemies with six light rods, ideal for agile opponents.
• Thunder Sear: A slow-moving lightning ball that damages nearby foes and explodes upon contact, perfect for crowd control.

How to Get Shikai in Hollow Era

To unlock your Shikai in Hollow Era, reach level 15 and visit Urihiro to start the Shikai Training quest. You'll need to defeat Urahara Kisuke for 1,700 exp, which will enable you to use Shikai powers.

Warning: If your character isn't 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 unhappy with the new power, you can re-roll it at Urahara Shop for cash. The game features a Rage Bar, which fills when you take or deal damage. When full, press Y (default keybind) to activate Shikai, which ends when you run out of Reiatsu or release the key.

Hollow Era Shikai Mastering

Your Shikai Mastery Level depends on the Mastery Points earned by using Shikai Skills. Higher Mastery Levels reduce the Rage required for Shikai, and each level comes with different aura effects and visual changes.

• Mastery Level 1 (1-149 Points): Transparent Aura
• Mastery Level 2 (150-299 Points): Brighter Aura with Particles
• Mastery Level 3 (300-499 Points): Lightning Boost
• Mastery Level 4 (500+ Points): Zone of Flying Stones

Becoming a Visored in the Hollow Era

Once committed to the Shinigami path, you can't switch to Hollow unless you become a Visored, allowing you to break the barrier between Shinigami and Hollow using a Hollow Mask. To become a Visored, reach level 50 or higher and head to the Vizard’s Warehouse to unlock the Vizard fighting style, which requires defeating the King of Hueco Mundo for a 1% chance to obtain the Hogyoku.

Hollow Era Visored Mastering

As a Visored, you gain Mask Control to reduce the chance of Hollow control and extend mask wear time with the Visored node, enhancing your damage output.

Visored Abilities in Hollow Era

• Hollow Mask: Grants control over your inner Hollow, allowing you to wear the mask on command.
• Cero: Charges a Reiatsu beam for significant damage.
• Final Cero: Pins enemies down and crushes them with a powerful Cero from above.
• Vasto Rage: Temporarily transforms you into the mightiest Hollow type, unleashing full potential.

What About Hollow Era Bankai?

Currently, Bankai is not available in Hollow Era. However, given the game's popularity, future updates might include it. Stay tuned for any announcements regarding Bankai.
