Welcome to the ultimate guide for mastering the *Hollow Era* experience in Roblox, specifically tailored for those eager to embrace the path of a **Shinigami (Soul Reaper)** from the iconic **Bleach** anime universe. This guide will walk you through the intricacies of progression, quests, and unlocking powerful abilities as a Shinigami. So, sharpen your sword, harness your Reiatsu, and let's explore the *Hollow Era* Shinigami progression in depth.
How to Become a Shinigami in Hollow Era
Starting your journey in *Hollow Era*, you begin as a **Soul Spirit**. To transition into a Shinigami, or **Soul Reaper**, you must interact with an NPC named **Hurt Shinigami**, who is in need of assistance. Accepting her quest to become a Shinigami commits you to this path, locking out the **Hollow** archetype unless you later become a **Visored**. If the allure of the Hollow intrigues you, consider our separate guide on Hollow progression.

During the selection between Shinigami and Hollow, timing is crucial. Choosing to become a Hollow involves breaking your chain, while opting for Shinigami means your chain will gradually break over time. Every two minutes, a section of the chain breaks, and if you let it break completely, you'll turn into a Hollow. In such a case, refer to our **resurrection moves lists** for Hollow end-game strategies.
Hollow Era Shinigami Quests Guide
Your initial task as a Shinigami is to purify 6 Lost Souls, aligning with your role in maintaining the balance between life and death. Next, pick up a quest from an NPC near Hurt Shinigami, which involves delivering a letter to a Doctor friend near the hospital.

These early quests are perfect for mastering your abilities. Consider purchasing a $1,000 random sword of power from the Urakara shop. For efficient travel across the expansive map, use the bus stop for $200 or invest in **infinite fast travel** available for 149 Robux in the Robux Shop.

As you progress, quests are marked with a red crosshair, guiding you through tasks like defeating Hollows and Corrupted Shinigamis until you reach level 15. Quests vary from repeatable, progression-based, to those linked with specific paths like Vizard and Airwalk.

Full Soul Reaper Skill Tree and Reiatsu
Effective Shinigami progression requires strategic investment of skill points into your **Reiatsu Skill Tree**, unlocking powerful **Kido** abilities exclusive to Shinigami characters. Here's a breakdown of key nodes and Kido abilities:
- **Caja Negacion**: Launches a beam of lightning, spreading electricity when combined with **Electric**.
- **Shakkaho**: Produces a red energy ball that explodes on impact, with **Ragdoll** and **Fire** enhancements.
- **Chain Bind**: Summons energy chains to pull enemies towards you.
- **Prison of Light**: Immobilizes enemies with six light rods, ideal for agile foes.
- **Thunder Sear**: A slow-moving lightning ball that causes electric damage and explodes, perfect for crowd control.
How to Get Shikai in Hollow Era
Achieving **Shikai** in *Hollow Era* requires reaching level 15 and completing a **Shikai Training** quest from Urihiro, which involves defeating **Urahara Kisuke** for 1,700 experience points. Once accomplished, you can harness Shikai powers.

Be prepared for a challenging fight; if you're underleveled or underequipped, consider grinding to level 25 before facing Kisuke.
Using Shikai
Upon unlocking Shikai, your weapon gains a random mighty ability, which can be re-rolled at Urahara Shop for a fee. Shikai activation depends on your **Rage Bar**, filled by dealing or taking damage. Press Y (default keybind) to activate Shikai, which lasts until your Reiatsu reserves are depleted or you release the key.
Hollow Era Shikai Mastering
Mastering Shikai involves earning **Mastery Points** through its use, which directly affects your **Rage Bar** efficiency. Higher Mastery Levels unlock better aura effects and character transformations:
- **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
To become a **Visored**, you must reach level 50, unlocking the **Vizard fighting style** at the **Vizard’s Warehouse**. This path allows your Shinigami to break the barrier between Hollow and Shinigami using the **Hollow Mask**, a transformative ability reliant on the **Hogyoku** orb. Defeating the **King of Hueco Mundo** (with a 1% drop rate for Hogyoku) initiates your Visored journey.

Hollow Era Visored Mastering
As a Visored, you'll benefit from **Mask Control** to resist hollow control and extend mask usage time, enhancing your damage output with new hollow powers.

- **Cero**: Charges a beam of Reiatsu for significant damage.
- **Final Cero**: Pins down enemies, crushing them with a mighty 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*, but future updates may introduce this powerful ability. Stay tuned for developments on this front.
Hollow Era Tips and Tricks
Combat can be disorienting; use **the lockup button** to focus on your primary target. Learn to **block enemy attacks** quickly, as even low-level enemies can deal substantial damage. Utilize **bus teleport** for efficient travel, and invest early **Skill Points** in **Strength and Speed** for better damage output and mobility. When lost, press and hold J (default keybind) to reveal markers with your Reiatsu sense. If repetitive gameplay bothers you, the Shinigami path might be more enjoyable than the Hollow route.
