*Hollow Era* is a thrilling Roblox game inspired by the iconic **Bleach** anime universe. This comprehensive guide will focus on the progression path for the **Shinigami (Soul Reaper)**, one of the two main archetypes in the game, with **Hollow** being the other. So, ready your sword, channel your Reiatsu, and let's explore this detailed *Hollow Era* Shinigami progression guide.
How to Become a Shinigami in Hollow Era
Your journey in *Hollow Era* begins as a **Soul Spirit**. To ascend to a Shinigami or **Soul Reaper**, you must engage with an NPC known as **Hurt Shinigami**. She's calling out for aid, and upon accepting her quest, you'll commit to the Shinigami path with no option to revert to a Hollow unless you later become a **Visored**. If the allure of playing as a Hollow captivates you, our separate guide on Hollow progression will be your go-to resource.

During the selection of your path, swift decision-making is key. Choosing to become a Hollow involves breaking your chain, but opting for the Shinigami path means your chain will start to break slowly every two minutes. If you let it break completely, you'll become a Hollow, so keep an eye on it and consult our **resurrection moves list** for Hollow endgame strategies.
Hollow Era Shinigami Quests Guide
Your initial quest as a Shinigami requires you to purify 6 Lost Souls, aligning with your role to maintain the balance between life and death. Subsequent quests involve tasks like delivering a letter to a Doctor near the hospital. These early quests are perfect for familiarizing yourself with your powers.

To enhance your gameplay, consider purchasing a $1,000 random sword of power from the Urakara shop. If funds allow, utilize the bus stop for $200 as a teleport/fast travel option due to the expansive map. Alternatively, for a smoother experience, invest in **infinite fast travel** for 149 Robux via the Robux Shop in the menu.

As you progress, quests are marked with a red crosshair, guiding you through tasks like defeating Hollows and Corrupted Shinigamis. These quests vary from repeatable to progression-based and path-specific, such as Vizard and Airwalk quests, leading you up to level 15.

Full Soul Reaper Skill Tree and Reiatsu
To maximize your Shinigami potential, strategic allocation of skill points is crucial. The **Reiatsu Skill Tree** offers various **Kido** abilities, exclusive to Shinigami:
- **Caja Negacion**: Unleash a lightning beam from your finger, enhanced with **Electric** to spread electricity.
- **Shakkaho**: Create a red energy ball that explodes on impact, with options for **Ragdoll** and **Fire** effects.
- **Chain Bind**: Summon energy chains to pull enemies towards you.
- **Prison of Light**: Immobilize foes with six light rods, ideal for agile enemies.
- **Thunder Sear**: Deploy a slow-moving lightning ball that damages nearby enemies and explodes on contact.
How to Get Shikai in Hollow Era
To unlock **Shikai** in *Hollow Era*, reach level 15 and visit Urihiro to undertake the **Shikai Training** quest. You'll need to defeat **Urahara Kisuke** to earn 1,700 EXP and gain access to Shikai powers.

**Warning**: Beating Kisuke at level 15 can be challenging without an optimized hero. Consider grinding up to level 25 or higher if needed.
Using Shikai
Upon unlocking Shikai, your weapon gains a **random mighty ability**. If unsatisfied, you can re-roll at Urahara Shop. Shikai activation uses a Rage Bar, filled by dealing or taking damage, and can be triggered by pressing Y (default keybind). It ends when your Reiatsu depletes or when you hold Y.
Hollow Era Shikai Mastering
Your Shikai Mastery Level increases with Mastery Points earned from using Shikai Skills. Higher Mastery Levels reduce Rage consumption and enhance your aura effects:
- **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
Once you're a Shinigami, transitioning to a Visored allows you to break the barrier between Shinigami and Hollow using your **Hollow Mask**. To pursue this path, reach **level 50** and unlock the **Vizard fighting style** at the **Vizard’s Warehouse**.

To become a full-fledged Visored, you'll need to obtain the **Hogyoku** by defeating the **King of Hueco Mundo**, with a mere 1% drop rate. This is just the beginning of unlocking the Visored progression.
Hollow Era Visored Mastering
As a Visored, you gain **Mask Control** to reduce the chance of Hollow control and **Visored** node to extend mask-wearing time, boosting damage output with Hollow powers.

Visored Abilities in Hollow Era
- **Hollow Mask**: Control your inner Hollow and wear the mask at will.
- **Cero**: Charge a beam of Reiatsu for significant damage.
- **Final Cero**: Pin down enemies and crush them with a powerful Cero.
- **Vasto Rage**: Transform into the mightiest Hollow type for a limited time.
What About Hollow Era Bankai?
Currently, **Bankai** is not available in *Hollow Era*. However, given the game's popularity, future updates may introduce this feature. Stay tuned for any announcements regarding Bankai's addition.
Hollow Era Tips and Tricks
Combat can be disorienting; use **the lockup button** to focus on your primary target, especially helpful during laggy moments. Learn to **block enemy attacks** early to mitigate damage from even low-level foes. Invest in **bus teleport** to save time on the large map. When allocating Skill Points, prioritize **Strength and Speed** for initial damage and mobility. Use **Reiatsu sense** by pressing and holding J (default keybind) to locate markers in Karakura. If repetitive tasks deter you, the Shinigami path might be more enjoyable than the Hollow route.
