Hollow Era Guide: Full Progression Walkthrough

Dive into the thrilling world of **Bleach** with *Hollow Era*, the Roblox sensation that lets you choose between the noble Shinigami (Soul Reaper) or the fierce Hollow (Arrancar / Espada). In this detailed guide, we'll focus on the **Hollow path** and walk you through the complete progression journey.

Becoming a Hollow in the Hollow Era

Your journey begins as a **Soul Spirit**, and you're faced with a pivotal choice: become a **Shinigami** or a **Hollow**. Opting for the Hollow route is simple yet inevitable. All you need to do is break all the links on your chain, and you'll transform into a Hollow. The chain breaks every two minutes on its own, so even if you do nothing, you'll become a Hollow within minutes.

Warning: Before embarking on your Hollow Era adventure as a Hollow, remember that this path can be more monotonous compared to the Shinigami route. While Hollows exude a cool factor, the journey involves a lot of grinding and repetitive kills. If your goal is to reach the esteemed ranks of Vasto Lorde or Espada, prepare for a time-consuming endeavor filled with tedious tasks.

Hollow Progression in the Hollow Era

Your next step is evolving into a **Gillian**. This requires grinding by eliminating other Hollows and consuming their remains. You can evolve at level 15, but at level 10, you gain access to the **Garganta gateway** leading to **Hueco Mundo**, where finding and consuming Hollows becomes easier.

As a Hollow, you'll face challenges from both Shinigami and other Hollows, unlike the Shinigami who only fight Hollows. For more on the Shinigami path, check out our full Shinigami progression guide.

Gillian Form in the Hollow Era

As a Gillian, your task is to continue eliminating Hollows and interact with **Hollow Pillars** in Hueco Mundo. Accumulate enough Progression Points, and you'll be teleported to your inner world to defeat Hollows three times, evolving into an **Adjucha**.

Each visit to your inner world requires defeating five Hollows, which are much tougher than the regular ones. Don't worry about dying; you can retry as many times as needed.

Adjucha Form in the Hollow Era

Now the journey gets exciting! As an Adjucha, you can choose to progress towards becoming a **Vasto Lorde** or an **Arrancar**. Let's start with the Arrancar path.

Arrancar Progression

To become an Arrancar, interact with a **Crystal Bush** that spawns every 30 to 60 minutes in Hueco Mundo. Upon contact, you'll transform into an Arrancar and gain access to Hueco Mundo via a keybind. At level 50, you can pursue your **Resurrección**, but for now, Arrancars can only use **Kendo skills**.

Vasto Lorde Progression

To evolve into a Vasto Lorde, continue eliminating and consuming Hollows for Progression Points. Be cautious, as dying will cost you 1% of these points. Many players remain stuck at Adjucha due to the grind, but to become a Vasto Lorde, you need **800 Progression Points**.

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

Vasto Lorde Form in the Hollow Era

Evolving into a Vasto Lorde is tougher than becoming an Arrancar. You need 800 race Progression Points and all **Hollow Items**, which have random drop chances:

**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 choose the Vasto Lorde path, you'll eventually aim to become an **Espada**. The process is similar to becoming an Arrancar. Head to Hueco Mundo, find a **Crystal Bush**, and interact with it to evolve into an Espada.

To spot a Crystal Bush easily, go to Hueco Mundo, disable Atmosphere, Bloom, and Depth of Field in your options, and survey the area from a high vantage point.

How to Get Your Resurrección

As an **Arrancar or Espada**, your ultimate goal is to obtain your **Resurrección**. Reach level 50, then visit Hueco Mundo and speak to **Isen**, the King of Hueco Mundo. He'll task you with defeating **50 Arrancars**. Once completed, you can use your Resurrección when your **Rage Bar is fully charged and pulsating**. Fill the Rage Bar by dealing or receiving damage. The default keybind for Resurrección is **"Y"**, and it deactivates when you run out of Reiatsu or Rage.

Hollow Era Tips and Tricks

Playing as a Hollow may seem cooler, but it's less versatile than the Shinigami path. Be ready for extensive grinding and expect to be attacked by both Hollows and Shinigami. If combat gets overwhelming, use **the lockup button** to focus on your primary target. This can be a lifesaver in a game that can be buggy and laggy at times, especially when you're stuck in a situation where you can't move but aren't taking damage either.

Learn **how to block enemy attacks** as soon as possible. Even low-level enemies can deal significant damage, and your health doesn't regenerate quickly. Upon death, you'll lose some money, and the trek back to your quest targets can be frustrating. Consider investing in **bus teleport** if you can afford it; it's a worthwhile investment.

When collecting Skill Points, prioritize **Strength and Speed** regardless of your race. While Sword, Vitality, and Reiatsu are tempting, you'll need damage output and mobility early on. If you're ever lost, **press and hold J** (default keybind) to reveal markers around **Karakura** with your Reiatsu sense.

This concludes our comprehensive *Hollow Era* Hollow progression guide. Keep in mind that the game is still in development, so expect some bugs and lag, even on high-performance PCs. Before starting your adventure, make sure to use *Hollow Era* codes to give yourself a boost, as this game is no walk in the park.
