Hollow Era Guide: Full Progression Walkthrough

Step into the *Bleach*-inspired world of *Hollow Era*, where players can embrace their inner darkness and choose between the path of the Shinigami or the Hollow. For those who dare to walk the darker side, becoming a Hollow offers a thrilling yet challenging journey through multiple forms and stages of power. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the Hollow progression system, from breaking free as a Gillian to reaching the pinnacle of power as an Espada.

Becoming a Hollow in the Hollow Era

Your journey begins as a Soul Spirit, a fragile yet determined soul awaiting transformation. To become a Hollow, simply sever the chain binding you to life. While your chain naturally unravels over time, it’s wise to take action early to avoid missing out on potential rewards. As a newly formed Hollow, you’ll face immediate challenges from both Shinigami and other Hollows, making survival your top priority.

Warning: While playing as a Hollow is undeniably cool, it demands significant effort and patience. The grind can feel monotonous, and reaching higher tiers requires countless battles and tedious tasks. Be prepared to commit time and energy if you wish to achieve greatness as a Vasto Lorde or Espada.

Hollow Progression in the Hollow Era

Gillian Form in the Hollow Era

As a Gillian, your primary objective is to hunt and consume Hollows while interacting with the Hollow Pillars scattered across Hueco Mundo. Upon reaching level 15, you’ll evolve into an Adjucha. However, the journey doesn’t stop there—your inner world hosts five formidable Hollows that must be defeated three times consecutively to trigger evolution.

Tip: Don’t hesitate to restart if you fail. Each attempt strengthens your resolve and improves your chances of success.

Adjucha Form in the Hollow Era

At the Adjucha stage, you gain the freedom to choose your destiny: Vasto Lorde or Arrancar. Arrancars evolve by interacting with Crystal Bushes, which spawn periodically in Hueco Mundo. Meanwhile, Vasto Lordes must relentlessly hunt and devour Hollows to accumulate Progression Points.

Progression Points:

• Hollow: 1 point
• Gillian: 6 points
• Adjucha: 4 points
• Vasto Lorde: 8 points
• Arrancar: 8 points
• Espada: 10 points

Fun Fact: Many players remain stuck at the Adjucha tier due to the sheer grind required to advance further.

Vasto Lorde Form in the Hollow Era

Reaching the Vasto Lorde tier demands 800 Progression Points and the acquisition of rare Hollow Items. These items drop randomly from defeated enemies, adding an element of unpredictability to your progression.

Hollow Items:

• Back Fins (Epic, 5% drop chance, +1 HP regeneration)
• Fin Tail (Legendary, 1% drop chance, +1 Reiatsu regeneration and +1 Speed)
• Back Spikes (Rare, 10% drop chance, +1 Reiatsu)
• 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)
• Spiral Horn (Epic, 5% drop chance, +1 Reiatsu)

Becoming Espada in the Hollow Era

The Espada tier mirrors the Arrancar evolution process. Locate a Crystal Bush in Hueco Mundo, interact with it, and voilà—you’re an Espada. Fine-tune your settings (turn off Atmosphere, Bloom, and Depth of Field) to spot bushes more easily. Climb to high vantage points and scan the landscape for these valuable resources.

How to Get Your Resurrección

Once you’ve reached level 50 as an Arrancar or Espada, head to Hueco Mundo and seek out Isen, the King of Hueco Mundo. His quest requires you to defeat 50 Arrancars to unlock your Resurrección. Max out your Rage Bar to activate it, filling it through damage dealt or received. Press “Y” to unleash your Resurrección and watch your abilities soar.
