Ultimate Guide to Shinigami Progression in Hollow Era

Hollow Era, a Roblox game inspired by the iconic Bleach anime, offers players an immersive experience as either a Shinigami (Soul Reaper) or a Hollow. This guide focuses on the Shinigami path, detailing everything from character progression to advanced skills like Shikai and Visored transformation.

How to Become a Shinigami in Hollow Era

At the start of the game, you play as a Soul Spirit—a soul lingering after death. To become a Shinigami, seek out the NPC known as the Hurt Shinigami and accept her quest. Once accepted, you commit fully to the Soul Reaper path—you can no longer switch to Hollow unless you later become a Visored.

Be quick during the class selection phase:

• Choosing Hollow is simple—just break your chain.
• For Shinigami, your chain will gradually break over time, with one segment snapping every two minutes. If left unchecked, you’ll transform into a Hollow automatically.

If that happens, refer to our guide on Hollow resurrection mechanics for recovery options.

Hollow Era Shinigami Quests Guide

Your first mission involves purifying six Lost Souls, aligning with the Shinigami’s role in maintaining balance between life and death. After completing this, speak with the NPC next to the Hurt Shinigami to receive a delivery quest—deliver a letter to a doctor near the hospital.

Use early quests to familiarize yourself with core mechanics:

• Visit the Urakara Shop to buy a powerful random sword.
• Consider investing in fast travel at the bus stop for $200, or purchase infinite fast travel in the Robux Shop for 149 Robux.

Quests are always marked with a red crosshair, guiding you through defeating Hollows, gripping corrupted enemies, and progressing up to level 15.

Types of quests include:

• Repeatable quests for steady XP gain
• Progression quests unlocking new abilities
• Path-specific quests for Vizard and Airwalk training

Full Soul Reaper Skill Tree and Reiatsu

Maximize your potential by strategically allocating skill points across the Reiatsu Skill Tree. As a Shinigami, you gain access to Kido spells, each offering unique combat advantages:

• Caja Negacion: Fires a lightning beam; enhanced with Electric effect to spread damage.
• Shakkaho: Launches an explosive red energy ball; combines with Ragdoll or Fire for crowd control.
• Chain Bind: Summons chains to pull enemies toward you.
• Prison of Light: Immobilizes foes with six light rods—ideal for agile targets.
• Thunder Sear: A slow-moving electric orb that explodes on impact—great for area denial.

Invest wisely to unlock more potent Kido and increase both spell potency and maximum Reiatsu.

How to Get Shikai in Hollow Era

Reach level 15 and visit Urihiro to begin Shikai Training. Complete the trial by defeating Urahara Kisuke to unlock Shikai powers.

Tip: If Kisuke proves too tough, consider grinding to level 25 before attempting the fight.

Using Shikai

Upon activation, your weapon gains a random ability. Dissatisfied with the result? Re-roll it at the Urahara Shop using in-game currency.

A Rage Bar fills with every hit taken or dealt. When full, press Y (default) to activate Shikai. It deactivates when your Reiatsu runs out or upon releasing the key.

Hollow Era Shikai Mastering

Mastery Points accumulate as you use Shikai skills. Higher Mastery Levels reduce Rage consumption and enhance visual effects:

• Level 1 (1–149 pts): Transparent aura
• Level 2 (150–299 pts): Brighter aura with particle effects
• Level 3 (300–499 pts): Lightning boost
• Level 4 (500+ pts): Flying stones surround your character

Each level unlocks stronger visuals and performance boosts.

Becoming a Visored in the Hollow Era

Once you reach level 50, you gain access to the Vizard fighting style, allowing dual-class progression as both Shinigami and Hollow.

To proceed:

1. Head to the Vizard’s Warehouse
2. Defeat the King of Hueco Mundo to obtain Hogyoku (1% drop rate)
3. Acquire the Vizard fighting style

This opens the door to Hollow-based abilities while retaining your Soul Reaper identity.

Hollow Era Visored Mastering

As a Visored, you gain powerful bonuses:

• Mask Control: Reduces risk of being overtaken by your Hollow side
• Visored Node: Extends mask duration and increases Hollow power damage

These upgrades allow seamless switching between Shinigami and Hollow forms.

Visored Abilities in Hollow Era

• Hollow Mask: Command your inner Hollow and equip the mask at will
• Cero: Charge and fire a high-damage beam of Reiatsu
• Final Cero: Pin enemies and strike from above with devastating force
• Vasto Rage: Transform into a powerful Hollow form for a limited time

What About Hollow Era Bankai?

As of now, Bankai is not available in the game. However, given the game's popularity, it's likely to be introduced in a future update. Stay tuned for announcements regarding this ultimate Soul Reaper ability.

Hollow Era Tips and Tricks

• Use the lock-on button to focus attacks in chaotic fights.
• Learn how to block attacks early—this can save your life against even low-tier enemies.
• Invest in Strength and Speed early for better combat efficiency.
• Press and hold J (default) to reveal nearby markers using your Reiatsu sense.
• Buy bus teleport if possible—it saves a lot of backtracking.

Remember, Shinigami gameplay is generally smoother than Hollow, which often involves repetitive tasks.
