Hollow/Arrancar

Hollow Progression

The starting point of the Hollow/Arrancar Progression path, in which players start out as Spirit Beings capable of evolving through multiple stages:

• Fishbone
• Menos
• Adjuchas
• Vasto Lore

Fishbone

Players who choose the Hollow/Arrancar Race during Character Creation will start as a Fishbone. The Fishbone are weak Spirit Beings, only capable of Evolving by killing other Hollows and consuming their bodies. Once they gain enough EXP they will automatically evolve into the Menos.

Menos

The Menos are the second Stage of Progression for the Hollow/Arrancar Race. For them to Evolve further, Menos will need to once again defeat other Hollows, but instead of consuming them like the Fishbone, they need to stomp on them to gain EXP.

Note: Menos are capable of removing their Masks [CTRL + K] to transform into the Menoscar, but they’re fairly weak.

Adjuchas

The third Stage of the Hollow/Arrancar Race. Adjuchas can progress into the final Stage, the Vasto Lorde, by collecting Mask Cracks obtained by defeating other Adjuchas. In total, players will need to collect a total of 25 Mask Cracks. Each kill grants 2 Mask Cracks.

Note: If the player dies as and Adjuchas, they will lose 5 Mask Cracks.

At 25 Mask Cracks, players will transform into an Albino Adjuchas, and whispers will start appearing all over their screen. Once this happens, the player character is ready to transform into a Vasto Lorde. To do so, they’ll need to complete one of the following requirements:

• Defeat another Albino Adjuchas.
• Follow the lines that appear on your screen. They will lead the player towards the Vasto Lorde NPC, which they will then need to defeat.

Note: Getting killed by another Albino Adjuchas will result in the player losing all of their collected Mask Cracks, and losing to the Vasto Lorde NPC will revert the player character back to the Menos Stage.

Vasto Lorde

Once players complete all the previous Stages, they will become a Vasto Lorde. From there, they can remove their Masks to become the improved starting variant of the Arrancar, the Vastocar.

Arrancar Progression

The Humanoid form of the Hollows. Players can transform into an Arrancar at any point by removing their Masks [CTRL+K], however it’s best to wait to do so after reaching the Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde Hollow Stage. The Arrancar are capable of using Skill Trees and Abilities, and gain access to end-game features.

• There are three Types of Arrancar, and their starting Grades will reflect the Stage at which the Mask was removed:
  • Vastocar (Semi-Grade 2)
  • Adjucar (Grade 3)
  • Menoscar (Grade 5)

Vastocar

The highest Grade base Arrancar type. Players starting as a Vastocar will have vastly improved Stats and Abilities compared to lower Grade Arrancar types.

The Vastocar comes equipped with an improved version of the base Cero ability, improved Reiatsu Regeneration and unlocked Instinct.

Vastocar players have the option of obtaining Segunda Etapa, as well as transforming into True Vastocar by using 1 True Hogyoku.

Grades

Players have a number of different options for progressing their Grades, such as:

• Grade 5 to Semi-Grade 1: Earning EXP by completing Missions.
  • Once players reach Grade 2 they will be able to obtain Form Release, and select a Cero path from the Arrancar Kido Skill Tree.
• Semi-Grade 1 to Elite Grade: Earning EXP by completing Missions.

Form Release

Once players obtain Grade 2, players can make their way to Hueco Mundo Castle. Inside the Castle, players can come across a Pink Orb, which after interacted with will spawn an item on the nearby table. Using this item will teleport the player back to the lobby.

Cero Paths

The following are the Cero Paths available to the Arrancar from the Kido Skill Tree.

Gran Rey Cero

Can be obtained by:

• Using 9 Hogyoku Fragments one after another.

Resurreccion

Players can obtain their full Resurreccion by completing the following requirements:

• Step 1:
  • Win 13 different Raids:
    • Ranked 1v1 Fights count as 0.5 Raid Wins.
    • Ranked 2v2 Fights count as 0.81 Raid Wins.
    • Clan War Victories count as 2 Raid Wins.
• Step 2:
  • The following objectives must be completed without dying. If the player dies in the process, the Step 2 progress will be reset and they will need to start over.
    • 1 World Boss Kill.
    • 50 Hollow NPCs Killed.
    • 10 Elite Grade Grips of the Opposite Factions.
• Step 3 (Final Step):
  • Hueco Mundo:
    • Make your way back to Hueco Mundo, and locate the hole in the center of the map leading to Menos Forest
  • Menos Forest:
    • Once inside, find a tree situated in the back of the Menos Forest. After climbing up the tree, a sword stuck in the ground can be found inside of a small hole.
  • Meditation:
    • Meditate in front of the sword for approximately 10 seconds. This will teleport the player character into a Maze.
  • The Maze:
    • Once teleported, the player must traverse the Maze in order to find a specific blue-eyed Hollow. While they’re searching for it, a Shadow Adjucha will start following, intent on killing the player. Beware, the Shadow Adjucha will kill on contact, so finding the specific Hollow is crucial. Once found, players will need to interact with it to obtain their Resurreccion.

Segunda Etapa

Note: The Spirit and Devil Resurrecions are not able to obtain the Segunda Etapa.

The Segunda Etapa can be obtained by players once they have their Resurrecions. To begin obtaining it, players will need to make their way back towards the Menos Forest.

• Step 1:
  • Locate the Sword previously used to access the Maze in order to obtain a Resurrecion.
• Step 2:
  • Interact with the Sword again to be given a Quest.
• Step 3:
  • Complete the following Quest:
    • Defeat and Obtain 20 Grips on players who have obtained their following forms:
      • Bankai
      • Vollstandig
      • Resurreccion
