How to become a Hollow in Hollow Era

After the dying animation plays in the intro of Hollow Era, you'll become a Lost Soul with a chain appearing on your chest. Now, you have two choices, you can actively rip your chain out by holding down K three times. Or you can just wait, as every two minutes, a segment of that chain will break. Once all three segments of the chain break completely, you'll transform into a Hollow.

You can become a Soul Reaper if you do choose, which involves pressing J and finding the only quest available near you and accepting it. But remember to pay attention after you gain control, as if you want to become a Shinigami, and not a Hollow, do not go AFK as if you come back after six minutes has passed, you'll have become a Hollow!

How to evolve a Fishbone in Hollow Era

Once the chain is gone, whatever method you chose, you're now a Hollow, or a "Fishbone" as they're officially titled. These are the weakest Hollows, but don't worry, you'll get stronger. Your goal is to reach level 15 to evolve into a Gillian. To get experience and level up, you can either kill players or consume other Hollows by first beating them up.

Once you hit level 10, you can open a Garganta (a portal) to Hueco Mundo. This is a great place to find more Hollows, making it easier to level up.

How to evolve a Gillian in Hollow Era

At level 15 you'll evolve into a Gillian, and as a Gillian, your main objective is to gain Race Progression points. You get these points by killing Hollows or interacting with Hollow Pillars. So, pretty much just go around fighting everything you see, and finding Hollow Pillars in Hueco Mundo.

Once you've earned enough Race Progression points, you'll be sent to your inner world. Here, you'll have to fight and defeat five other Hollows. Don't worry if you die, you can try again.

The Hollows in your inner world will get stronger each time, and you need to complete this challenge three times to evolve.

How to evolve an Adjucha in Hollow Era

Once you've completed your inner challenge three times, you'll become an Adjucha, and this is where things start to get interesting. So an Adjucha, you have two evolution trees you can go down. You can either become an Arrancar or a Vasto Lorde.

Either way you'll continue to earn Race Progression points by killing or eating Hollows and by collecting special Adjucha Progression items, but these are only needed if you wish to become a Vasto Lorde and not an Arrancar.

Here's how many points you get per kill:

  • Hollow = 1
  • Gillian = 6
  • Adjucha = 4
  • Vasto Lorde = 8
  • Arrancar = 8
  • Espada = 10

Keep in mind that dying will make you lose 1% of your points, so be careful!

How to become an Arrancar in Hollow Era

To become an Arrancar, you need to remain an Adjucha, this means not evolving into a Vasto Lorde. Instead, in Hueco Mundo, keep an eye out for Crystal Bushes that spawn in Hueco Mundo every 30-60 minutes. Interact with a Crystal Bush as an Adjucha, and you'll become an Arrancar.

How to become a Vasto Lorde in Hollow Era

If you wish to become the highest evolution of a Hollow apart from an Espada in Hollow Era, the Vasto Lorde, then there are two things you need to focus on. You need to accumulate 800 Race Progression points and collect eight Adjucha Progression items.

Adjucha Progression items only appear once you become an Adjucha, and you can get them from killing certain types of Hollows.

How to get Adjucha Progression Items

Killing other Hollows as an Adjucha has a chance to drop equippable items, that are needed to evolve into a Vasto Lorde. Here's what you can get and their drop chances:

  • Hollows/Fishbones:
    • Back Fins (5% drop chance)
    • Fin Tail (1% drop chance)
  • Gillian:
    • Back Spikes (10% drop chance)
  • Adjucha:
    • Single Horn (25% drop chance)
    • Double Horn (10% drop chance)
    • Triple Horn (5% drop chance)
    • Tail (5% drop chance)
  • Vasto Lorde:
    • Spiral Horn (5% drop chance)

How to become an Espada in Hollow Era

For those who want to set their sights even higher than a Vasto Lorde, you've only got one option available to you, and that is to become an Espada.

To become an Espada, you first need to evolve into a Vasto Lorde, the final Hollow evolution. Then, like Arrancar, look for Crystal Bushes that spawn in Hueco Mundo every 30-60 minutes. Interact with a Crystal Bush as a Vasto Lorde to become an Espada.

How to Obtain Your Resurrección in Hollow Era

So now that you are either an Arrancar, or an Espada, it is time to learn your Resurrección. To get your Resurrección, reach level 50 and talk to the King of Hueco Mundo in Las Noches. He'll give you a quest to kill 50 Arrancar.

Once complete, you will get a random Resurrección out of the four currently available in the release build of Hollow Era:

  • Murcielago - Legendary - 1% Chance
  • Arrogante - Rare - 10% Chance
  • Los Lobos - Uncommon - 29% Chance
  • Pantera - Common - 60% Chance

How to use your Resurrección

To use your Resurrección in Hollow Era, you need to build up your Rage Bar by taking or dealing damage. Once the Rage Bar is full and pulsating, press "Y" to activate your Resurrección.

Your Resurrección will automatically deactivate if you run out of reiatsu or rage. You can also manually deactivate it by holding down the "Y" key.
