Hollow Era Guide: Full Progression Walkthrough

In the captivating world of the **Bleach universe**, *Hollow Era* on Roblox offers players an exciting choice between two contrasting races: Shinigami (Soul Reaper) or Hollow (Arrancar / Espada). This guide delves deep into the intricacies of playing as a Hollow, providing a comprehensive roadmap for your journey through the Hollow Era. Let's dive into the full progression of a Hollow and unlock the secrets of this thrilling path.

Becoming a Hollow in the Hollow Era

Starting your adventure as a **Soul Spirit** in the game, you're presented with a crucial decision: to become a **Shinigami** or a **Hollow**. Choosing the path of the Hollow requires you to break all the links on your chain, a process that will naturally occur over time as one link breaks every two minutes. This transformation into a Hollow is inevitable if you take no action, marking the beginning of your journey in the Hollow Era.

Warning: Embarking on your Hollow Era journey as a Hollow can be quite monotonous compared to playing as a Shinigami. While Hollows boast a cooler aesthetic, the path involves extensive grinding and numerous seemingly pointless kills. Aspiring to reach the prestigious ranks of Vasto Lorde or Espada requires a significant investment of time and patience.

Hollow Progression in the Hollow Era

Your initial goal as a Hollow is to evolve into a **Gillian**. This evolution demands grinding by defeating other Hollows and consuming their remains. Reaching level 15 is the milestone for this transformation, but at level 10, you gain access to the **Garganta gateway** leading to **Hueco Mundo**, a dimension where Hollows are more abundant and easier to target.

As a Hollow, you'll face challenges from both Shinigami and fellow Hollows, a dynamic that sets you apart from the more peaceful path of the **Soul Reapers** (Shinigami). For a detailed guide on Shinigami progression, click here.

Gillian Form in the Hollow Era

As a Gillian, your focus shifts to eliminating more Hollows and engaging with **Hollow Pillars** scattered across Hueco Mundo. Accumulating enough Progression Points triggers a teleportation to your inner world, where you must vanquish five Hollows three times to evolve into an **Adjucha**. Be prepared for a tougher challenge, as these inner world Hollows are significantly more formidable.

Adjucha Form in the Hollow Era

The Adjucha stage introduces a pivotal choice: to advance as a **Vasto Lorde** or an **Arrancar**. Let's explore the Arrancar path first.

Arrancar Progression

To transform into an Arrancar, you need to interact with a **Crystal Bush**, which spawns in Hueco Mundo every 30 to 60 minutes, averaging at 45 minutes. Upon contact, you'll become an Arrancar, unlocking the ability to use a keybind to transport to Hueco Mundo and access **Arrancar Ressurections**. At level 50, you can pursue your **Resurrección**, a powerful transformation that enhances your combat abilities. Currently, Arrancars can only utilize **Kendo skills**, but future updates may expand this repertoire.

Vasto Lorde Progression

Opting for the Vasto Lorde path requires relentless elimination and consumption of Hollows to amass Progression Points. Be cautious, as death during this process results in a 1% loss of your points. To ascend to Vasto Lorde, you must accumulate **800 Progression Points**, which can be earned as follows:

• **Hollow**: 1 Point
• **Gillian**: 6 Points
• **Adjucha**: 4 Points
• **Vasto Lorde**: 8 Points
• **Arrancar**: 8 Points
• **Espada**: 10 Points

Many players find themselves stuck at the Adjucha stage due to the demanding grind, but perseverance is key to achieving the revered status of Vasto Lorde.

Vasto Lorde Form in the Hollow Era

Evolving into a Vasto Lorde is a more arduous journey than becoming an Arrancar. You need to collect 800 race Progression Points and acquire all **Hollow Items**, which have a random drop chance. Here's a breakdown of the Hollow Items and the creatures that drop them:

• **Hollows**: **Back Fins** (Epic, 5% drop chance, +1 HP regeneration), **Fin Tail** (Legendary, 1% drop chance, +1 Reiatsu regeneration and +1 Speed)
• **Gillian**: **Back Spikes** (Rare, 10% drop chance, +1 Reiatsu)
• **Adjucha**: **Tail** (Epic, 5% drop chance, +1 Speed), **Single Horn** (Uncommon, 25% drop chance, +1 Strength), **Double Horn** (Rare, 10% drop chance, +2 Strength), **Triple Horn** (Epic, 5%, +3 Strength)
• **Vasto Lorde**: **Spiral Horn** (Epic, 5% drop chance, +1 Reiatsu)

Becoming Espada in the Hollow Era

If you pursue the Vasto Lorde path, the next step is to evolve into an **Espada**. This transformation mirrors the process of becoming an Arrancar: locate and interact with a **Crystal Bush** in Hueco Mundo. To enhance your chances of spotting a Crystal Bush, adjust your settings to turn off Atmosphere, Bloom, and Depth of Field, then survey the area from a vantage point.

How to Get Your Resurrección

As an Arrancar or Espada, your ultimate goal is to obtain your **Resurrección**. To achieve this, reach level 50 and seek out **Isen**, the King of Hueco Mundo, for a quest to defeat **50 Arrancars**. Upon completion, you can activate your Resurrección when your **Rage Bar** is fully charged and pulsating. Engage in combat to fill your Rage Bar, and remember, the default keybind for Resurrección is **"Y"**. Your transformation will deactivate when you run out of Reiatsu or Rage.

Hollow Era Tips and Tricks

While the allure of playing as a Hollow is undeniable, it's important to note that this path is less versatile than the Shinigami route. Be prepared for extensive grinding and be aware that you'll be targeted by both Hollows and Shinigami. If combat becomes overwhelming, use the **lockup button** to focus on your primary target, a feature especially helpful in dealing with game lag and bugs.

Mastering **how to block enemy attacks** is crucial, as even low-level foes can deal significant damage, and your vitality bar doesn't regenerate quickly. Upon death, you'll lose some currency, and the journey back to your quest targets can be tedious. Consider investing in **bus teleport** to streamline your travel.

When allocating Skill Points, prioritize **Strength and Speed** initially, as these are essential for dealing damage and moving swiftly. Although abilities like Sword, Vitality, and Reiatsu are appealing, focus on your core damage and agility at the start.

If you're ever lost, press and hold **J** (default keybind) to reveal markers around **Karakura** using your Reiatsu sense.
