Starting fresh in TYPE://SOUL can be overwhelming, so many choices, so many different ways to get stronger. This guide breaks down all four main races in the game: Soul Reaper, Quincy, Fullbringer, and Hollow. Whether you’re looking to slice through enemies with a Zanpakutō, blast foes with spiritual arrows, tap into the power of objects, or evolve into a monstrous Arrancar, this is your one-stop beginner’s handbook.

Contents

Beginner’s Guide (Soul Reaper, Quincy, Fullbringer & Hollow)

Each race in Type Soul has its own unique progression path, strengths, and abilities.

  • Soul Reapers (Shinigami) focus on Zanpakutō mastery and transformations like Shikai and Bankai.
  • Quincies harness spiritual energy for ranged combat, unlocking Schrift and powerful forms like Letzt Stil and Vollständig.
  • Fullbringers channel abilities from objects and fight with versatile, close-to-mid range powers.
  • Hollows start as monstrous creatures, evolve into Menos, Adjuchas, and finally Arrancar, unlocking Resurreccións. In this guide, we’ll cover the full progression for each race, how to unlock their transformations, and tips for getting stronger faster.
Type Soul Soul Reaper Complete Guide & Progression (Shinigami)

Soul Reaper Complete Guide & Progression (Shinigami)

Shinigami are the spiritual guardians of Type Soul — tasked with purifying lost souls, slaying Hollows, and keeping balance across worlds. They wield Zanpakuto, which can be named to unlock unique powers:

  • Shikai – Your first major form, with abilities unique to your weapon type.
  • Bankai – The ultimate flex and damage spike.
  • Kido Tree – Powerful spells with huge damage potential.
  • Hakuda + Shunko – Exclusive melee combos and speed boosts.
  • Vizard – Hollow mask form for even more damage, defense, and mobility.

Shinigami progression is unique — more traveling, more RNG (especially in sword selection), but the endgame kit is absolutely worth the grind.

Soul Reapers Shinigami in Type Soul.

Early Game & Grade Progression

Main Goal: Reach Grade 2 as quickly as possible.

  • Soul Society is huge, so expect a lot of running.
  • Unlock Flash Step, Soul Style, or Hakuda early from the skill tree — they’re free and essential.
  • Spam Mission Boards in Soul Society for quick EXP.
  • Skip Rogue Shinigami missions — they’re slow and not worth the hassle.

Old Update Reminder: You no longer need Division Quests to hit Elite Grade, you can go straight there without joining one. Joining a division is mostly just for convenience, like setting your spawn at a specific location. This change applies to all races, as progression now only requires mission EXP. You also don’t need grips anymore for ranking up.

Here’s a video showing the early game for Soul Reapers and how to use the Mission Board in Type Soul!

Divisions (Optional but Helpful)

Joining a Division isn’t required anymore, but the perks can be huge:

  • Division 10 – Has a teleport straight to the Division Mission Board, great for late-game Bankai grind.
  • Division 12 – Easiest Division Quests; great for farming.

Joining Steps (How To Join Division):

  1. Press , to see all Division locations.
  2. Talk to the Division NPC.
  3. Set your spawn.
  4. Start missions.
Here’s a video showing where to find the Division NPC as a Soul Reaper in Type Soul!

Unlocking Shikai

Requirements: Grade 2, not gripped by the opposite faction (or have revenge grips if you were).

Steps:

  1. Meditate (M) for 5 minutes — do this 3 times separately.
  2. After the third session, you’ll enter your inner world and fight your Shikai spirit.
  3. Boss Tips:
    • Flash Step backwards + R (critical) to break blocks.
    • Some moves (like Bisection) always block break.
    • Stay patient — the spirit can parry and dodge aggressively.

Once you win, you’ll unlock Shikai. Press J to activate it and check builds for your weapon type.

Here’s a video showing how to unlock Shikai as a Soul Reaper — including meditating and fighting the Shikai Boss in Type Soul!

Vizard Progression

Requirements: 10 Hogyoku Fragments.

How to Get Hogyoku Fragments:

  • Raid drops in Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, or Wandenreich.
  • Raid Shop (if your faction wins).
  • Ranked matches (higher ELO = better drop rate).

Once you get them, place them in one of your slots. Afterwards consume them (by left clicking when you have equipped them). You will die and after respawning, you start to see text appear on your screen. These text messages are called Whispers. You will also start to hear a whispering sound.

Vizard Obtainment Method + Whispers Guide (Updated)

Once you are done with the 1st step, make your way to Hueco Mundo. After you get there, you need to find the Vizard NPC and defeat him. Once you defeat him, just need to Grip him.

The Vizard NPC will look like a normal NPC with a Vizard Mask and a random name. Just search around the server and you should be able to find him. If after searching for a while you can not find him, then just Hop to another server.

Vizard NPC.

Once you are able to find and defeat the Vizard NPC, you will get your Vizard Mask (and also a cutscene). Afterwards you will die and once you respawn again, you should be able to see a Bar on the bottom left side of your screen. This Bar represents the completion of your Vizard Quest (which is the next step).

Compete Your Vizard Quest

After you are done with the 2nd step, you will now have to complete the Vizard Quest that has been given to you. There are 2 Vizard Quest types and you will receive one of them randomly. To figure out which one you got, you need to read the Whispers that appear on your screen.

Quest Type #1
Quest type 1
Quest Type 1.

To see if this is your Vizard Quest, then check the Whispers on your screen for the following message: ” Seek victory within a Hueco/Karakura Raid using my power “.

If this happens to be your Vizard Quest, then you need to win 10 Raids while having your Vizard Mask active.

Quest Type #2
Quest type 2
Quest Type 2.

To see if this is your Vizard Quest, then check the Whispers on your screen for the following message: ” The people of your alliance must be slain “.

If this happens to be your Vizard Quest, then you need to kill 50 – 60 Soul Reapers (actual players). You can ask one of your friends who is a Soul Reaper to help you out with this quest.

Vizard Quest Completed

Once you have completed your Vizard Quest (3rd step), the Whispers on your screen will just disappear. And your Vizard Mask animation will also get changed to the one shown in the image below.

New Vizard Mask animation.

Bankai Progression

Bankai works like other race’s endgame forms but with a Shinigami twist.

Stage 1 – Hit Elite Grade + Win 13 Raids.
Stage 2 – Inner World NPC gives you:

  1. Kill 1 Bawa from Hueco Mundo.
  2. Defeat 80 Hollows.
  3. Grip 15 Elites (non-Shinigami, basically kill other players that are not your race).
  4. All must be done in one life.

Stage 2.5 – Sword Selection Trial

  • Pick the correct Zanpakuto 3 times (only 2 mistakes allowed).
  • Fail? You’ll need to grip 1–2 enemies to reset.

Stage 3 – Bankai Spirit Fight

  • Similar to Shikai but harder.
  • Use mobility, block breaks, and safe punishes.
Bankai in Type Soul

Advanced Shunko (Extra Power)

Requirements: Elite Grade + ~3 Hogyoku Fragments.

  1. Talk to Division 5 Captain.
  2. Beat him to gripping 4 Arrancar NPCs.
  3. Unlocks Advanced Shunko — a mobility + melee buff.

True Bankai (Optional but Broken)

Complete the Hell Mode questline to unlock.

  • Works like a “domain expansion” — buffs all moves inside.
  • Final and most powerful Shinigami form.

For more details, you can check out my guide on how to unlock True Bankai in Type Soul!

Quincy Complete Guide & Progression

The Quincy are one of the three core races in Type Soul, known for their unique spiritual archery and advanced modes like Schrift, Vollständig, and Letzt Stil. They start out with basic progression similar to other races but have their own unique weaponry, skill tree synergies, and late-game boss fights.

In this guide, we’ll break down the following key areas:

  • Starting Out (Skills, Bows, Missions)
  • Clans and Their Buffs
  • Weapons
  • Unlocking Schrift
  • Hueco Mundo PvP and Boss Fights
  • Vollständig Progression (All Stages)
  • Letzt Stil
  • True Form: Sklaverei
  • Bonus Tips (Cullin Games, Hogyoku Farming, and Sankt Zwinger)
Quincy in Type Soul.

Early Game (Grade 5 – Semi-Grade 2): Mission Grinding Made Easy

When you first spawn in Wandenreich, you’ll be near the Quest Board. Don’t overthink anything early on. Just queue up for missions, party up, and focus on completing basic tasks like killing Fishbone Hollows. This will push you from Grade 5 to Semi-Grade 2 quickly.

You’ll have access to four primary skill trees:

  • Kendo (Sword-based)
  • Hakuda (Fist-based)
  • Kido (Reiatsu-based)
  • Speed (Mobility and fast cuts)

As a Quincy, you also get a bow unique to the race, toggled with Tab. M1 to shoot arrows and press R to perform a crit (block break). You can M2 a Cyber Box to reroll your weapon variant later on.

Early on, just invest your skill points into your preferred style (Keikaku is great for versatility) and get familiar with switching between Blut Vene (defense) and Blut Arterie (offense) using the U key.

Unlocking Your Schrift (Grade 2)

Once you hit Grade 2, things get real, it’s Schrift time. This is your Quincy’s big milestone, unlocking unique abilities and giving your character true power.

Where to Start the Schrift Quest
  1. Head across the bridge from spawn
  2. Find the large statue and interact with it
  3. Accept the quest and pay attention to the whispers
Statue location to get Schrift for Quincy in Type Soul.

Requirements:

  • ✅ 1 Shinigami Player Kill (Soul Reaper)
  • ✅ 1 Arrancar Player Kill
  • ✅ 5 or 10 Fishbone Kills (from missions)
  • ✅ 1 Menos Kill (NPC or player)
  • ✅ 1 Adjudica Kill (NPC or player)

Yes, you can complete this solo. It’ll take time, but I did it just to prove it’s possible. (But if you have friends? Even better.)

You can do these in any order, and progress is saved even if you die. PvP targets don’t have to be Elite Grade.

Quick Tip: Don’t want to risk PvP? You can grip your own alts. There’s no grade requirement for kill targets.

Killing Menos to get Schrift as Quincy in Type Soul.

Hueco Mundo: Bosses, PvP, & Chaos

Head to Hueco Mundo via the portal near spawn. This is where you’ll handle most of your quest:

  • AFK players are common targets (but don’t rely on it — many still fight back)
  • Menos and Adjudica spawn here
  • Arrancars often hang around for fights

Combat Notes:

  • Tab = Draw/put away your bow
  • M1 = Fire arrows
  • U = Switch between Blut Vene (defense) and Blut Arterie (damage)
  • R = Crit attack (block break)

Expect chaos. PvP in Hueco Mundo is ruthless. People will third-party you just for breathing. Still, it’s the best place to complete most Schrift objectives.

🎥 Here’s a video showing how to reach Hueco Mundo from Wandenreich in Type Soul! Follow this path to explore the Hollow world!

Killing Menos (The Easy Part)

Once you’re in Hueco Mundo, look for the giant pit. Jump down, this is the Menos Pit.

You’ll find Menos everywhere. Kill one and you’re done with this part. Honestly, this is one of the easier parts of the Schrift quest.

🎥 Here’s a video showing how to get to the Menos Pit in Hueco Mundo and find the Menos location!

Finding Shinigami: Soul Society Hunt

After finishing your Hueco Mundo tasks, return to Wandereich using your Quincy Key (from the special tab). Then go to Soul Society via the portal.

Noob Shinigami usually hang out at:

  • Division 12
  • Division 5

Wipe out a couple and you’re set. It’s much easier to find weaker targets here than in Hueco Mundo if you’re still underpowered or lagging (like I was).

Wrapping Up the Schrift Quest

Once you’ve done all of the following:

  • ✅ 1 Shinigami kill
  • ✅ 1 Arrancar kill
  • ✅ 1 Adjudica
  • ✅ 1 Menos
  • ✅ 5-10 Fishbones

Go back to the statue, interact with it again, and boom, Schrift unlocked. I got Heat (a common Schrift), but there are many others like Wind, Iron, Thunderbolt, and more.

You can reroll Schrift types or change weapons later, so don’t stress too much about your first roll.

Schrift in Type Soul.

Post-Schrift Progression: Elite Grade Grind

After unlocking Schrift, your goal is to hit Elite Grade. Here’s what that grind looks like post-Grade 2:

  • Keep doing missions for EXP
  • Now you also need player kills (Shinigami & Arrancar) to progress
  • PvP becomes a necessity for leveling up

You’ll need to kill players AND do missions to reach Elite. Not the easiest grind, but doable — especially with help or a squad.

Unlocking Vollständig: Your True Form

Vollstandig is your equivalent of Bankai. It’s unlocked in three stages:

Stage 1
  1. Win 13 Raids (Clan wars count as 2 each, Ranked wins count as 0.5)
  2. Karakura Town raids DO NOT count
  3. Talk to V – Unequalled, Unrivalled NPC near the hospital in KT to track progress
Stage 2
  1. Without dying:
    • Kill 1 World Boss (Jidanbo or Bawa-Bawa)
    • Kill 50 Hollows
    • Grip 10 Elite Grade players from the opposite race
  2. Track progress by talking to Balance at the top of the Wandenreich castle
Stage 3
  1. Parry light pillars for 1:30 without dying
  2. After that, Yhwach spawns. Click him to unlock Vollständig.
  3. Fail? Wait 2 hours or grip 2 Elite players from other races to reset cooldown
  4. Press Ctrl + J to activate
🎥 Here’s a video showcasing the Vollständig transformation in Type Soul!

Unlocking Letzt Stil

Your Quincy ultimate mode with two forms:

  • Lesser Letzt: Use 10 Hogyoku Fragments to unlock. Gives a minor stat boost.
  • True Letzt: Requires True Hogyoku AND Lesser Letzt. Grants:
    • Stat buffs
    • Unique move: Heilig Pfeil
    • Alters some skills
  • Letzt is activated by pressing K

Sankt Zwinger (Ultimate Area Attack)

Use 9 Hogyoku Fragments at once to unlock. Appears in your Special tab.

  • Creates a holy circle
  • Sacrifices 5% HP
  • Hits anyone inside with 5 light beams, each dealing 5% HP
  • Can be blocked, so use it wisely
🎥 Here’s a video showcasing Sankt Zwinger, the ultimate area attack in Type Soul!

Sklaverei: True Form for Quincy (Post-Hellverse)

Sklaverei is the Quincy’s endgame transformation, unlocked through the Hellverse questline alongside Shinigami’s True Bankai and Arrancar’s Segunda Etapa. It gives you a second transformation (CTRL + J) with boosted stats and upgraded moves.

Requirements:

  1. Complete the Entire Hellverse Questline:
    • Ring 1 → Kill mobs, boss steals your mode.
    • Ring 2 → Defeat the Owl boss, talk to Blair to reclaim your form.
    • Ring 3 → Beat the boss, solve The Maze, then the Library puzzle.
  2. Return to Ring 1 (after Library puzzle)
    This starts your AFK timer.
  3. AFK for 5–25 hours in Hell
    • Time varies by player (dev-confirmed).
    • Avoid server crashes, getting kicked, or disconnects.
    • Once you see the message “Figure it out.”, proceed to the final step.
  4. Get Knocked to 0 HP
  5. Transform using CTRL + J anytime afterward.
🎥 Here’s a video showcasing how Sklaverei transformation works in Type Soul!

Bonus Progression Tips

  • Cullin Games: Let your teammates carry you. Each win gives huge rewards like Dim Shards and True Hogs.
  • Post Grade 2: Just keep doing missions and hunting PvP kills to reach Elite Grade.
  • Reminder: Schrift quest now only requires 1 of each type of kill, not the old inflated numbers.

How To Get Fullbringer Full Form Moves

The Fullbringer Full Form progression does have a quest line and some other requirements linked to it. So, we’ll walk you through all the steps that you need to follow.

Doing so will give you access to three additional moves as the Fullbringer race.

Step 1: Select Fullbringer

Starting off, the first thing that you need to do is to select the Fullbringer race. If you do not have it on your account, you will need to make a new character and select Fullbringer.

However, if you already have it, you can simply move on to the next step.

Fullbringer Race Type Soul

Step 2: Reach Grade 2

Once you’ve fulfilled the Fullbringer requirement, the next thing that you need to do is reach Grade 2. The fastest way to do it is to simply keep doing the Mission Board quests as much as possible.

You can farm the missions in normal Karakura or fake Karakura, it doesn’t really matter. Doing so will give you mission EXP that will allow you to increase your Grade.

Mission Board Type Soul

You’ll know when you’ve hit Grade 2 when the Grade Increased notification comes up and you can see Grade 2 next to your name. Whenever the message pops up, just look at your username on the right and check if you hit it.

It should take you around 20-30 minutes of farming if you dedicate yourself only to this. Once you’ve hit Grade 2, you can proceed to the next step.

Grade 2 reached Type Soul

Step 3: Navigate to Elek Ginjo

After hitting Grade 2, your goal is to go the Elek Ginjo NPC, who will set you on the quest. But to do this, you will need to go to Fake Karakura.

To do this, hit the N key and go to the Special tab. Here, select the Call Xcution to equip it and then activate it. Doing so will spawn a van that will transport you to Fake Karakura.

Call Xcution Type Soul

Once you arrive at Fake Karakura, your goal is to navigate to Elek Ginjo. She can be found all the way to the other side of the town, inside the cemetery.

Here are the directions to get to her:

  1. Go straight ahead to arrive at the first town.
  2. Get to the other side of the tunnel, either through it or over it (faster).
  3. Walk up the stairs to the cemetery and he will be standing at the back.
Going to Elek Ginjo Type Soul
Here is the path that you can follow from the start of the Fake Karakura spawn to the Elek Ginjo NPC in the cemetery.

After interacting with Elek Ginjo, exhaust all his dialogue and you can proceed to the next step.

Elek Ginjo Type Soul

Step 4: Meditate And Teleport To Quest Area

For the next part, you will need to meditate using the M key. While meditating, you will the third bar (purple) on the right start to fill up slowly.

You will need to keep meditating until the bar is completely full.

Meditating Type Soul

Once you’re done meditating, you will need to teleport to the quest area. To do this, here are the steps you need to follow:

  • Press M to stand up
  • Press M again so you go back to the meditate pose
  • Wait for the animation so you get teleported to the new quest area.

Once here, talk to the Fullbring NPC, which is basically yourself. Exhaust the dialogue and be prepared, because hordes of enhanced hollows will start attacking you.

Going to fullbring quest area Type Soul
Here is how the process goes for teleporting to the new quest area after meditating. Talk to the NPC there and you’ll need to fight Enhanced Hollows instantly.

Step 5: Defeat All Waves & Obtain Fullbringer Full Form

You will need to fight four waves of Enhanced Hollows to get the Fullbringer Full Form. What some players don’t realize is that there is actually a time limit. The bar that you filled up while meditating, will start to slowly deplete.

So, you will need to clear all the waves before the meter is completely empty!

Your main goal here is to avoid dying as this can reset your progression. However, if you do get knocked down, the summoned enemies will not grip you which can help you survive normally would- be deaths and continue fighting.

But if your HP is low enough where an attack like Cero will knock you – then you will completely die. So, make sure that doesn’t happen.

Besides that, dealing with the enemies is not too difficult provided you are good at parrying. Besides that, you can just utilize your weapon to the best of its ability. For example, if you’re using the Devil Arm, spamming heavy attacks is the way to go.

Keep in mind though that your HP will not regenerate in this area, even while out of combat. Instead, you will get one bar of HP back after you defeat a wave of enemies.

Time limit Type Soul

At the end, you will have to face an Adjucha, which is one of the scariest enemies you’ll face. You can simply cheese this enemy by simply hitting it from range. However, keep the time limit in mind once you try to attempt it.

Once you’ve defeated all the waves of enemies, talk to the Fullbring NPC and select the Yes option. Doing so will give you the Fullbringer Full Form and transport you back to Fake Karakura.

You will now have access to new Z, X and C moves in your Fullbringer form. Make sure to try them out!

Obtaining fullbringer full form Type Soul
Here is a demonstration of how you can cheese the Adjucha and defeat all the waves of enemies. After that, speak to the Fullbring NPC and select Yes to go back to Fake Karakura.

Hollow Complete Guide & Progression (Arrancar)

Hollows are corrupted souls that devour others to grow stronger. Arrancars are Hollows who have ripped off their mask to gain humanoid form and better control over their powers. In return, they keep part of their Hollow mask as a reminder of their origins and gain access to powerful abilities like Cero and Resurrección — their unique transformation form.

The stage where you remove your mask affects your starting grade:

  • Menoscar → Grade 5 (weak start, avoid this if possible)
  • Adjucar → Grade 3
  • Vastocar → Semi-Grade 2

Your ultimate goal? Climb through Hollow evolution, unlock Partial and Full Resurrección, and dominate with Segunda Etapa.

Hollow Arrancars in Type Soul

Starting Out – Fishbone to Menos

Your first goal is to stop being a Fishbone ASAP.

Fastest method: Ask another player to help you kill a Menos NPC. Eat the remains, and you’ll instantly evolve into a Menos.

If solo: Grind normal Hollow NPCs until you naturally evolve into a Menos. This is slower but works fine.

Menos Stage – Menos to Adjuchas

Good news — this stage is quick.

  • Kill one Menos NPC.
  • Use M1s, Stomps, and Menos Cero (unlock it in your skill tree by pressing N).
  • Defeat it and you’ll transform into an Adjuchas.
Here’s a video showing the full Fishbone → Menos → Adjuchas Hollow progression in Type Soul (Arrancar).

Adjuchas Stage – To Albino Adjuchas

Here’s where the grind really starts:

  • Fight Adjuchas NPCs (not players).
  • Each kill gives 2 mask cracks.
  • At 25 mask cracks, you evolve into an Albino Adjuchas.

Albino Adjuchas – Two Paths to Vasto Lorde

Path 1: Boss Route

  • Follow the whispers and glowing trail to a Vasto Lorde boss.
  • Defeat it (or cheese it — YouTube is your friend) to evolve.

Path 2: PvP Route

  • Find another Albino Adjuchas player.
  • Beat them in a 1v1 to instantly evolve into Vasto Lorde.
  • Pro tip: Farm mask cracks on an alt to make this easier.
Defeating another Albino Adjuchas Player to become Vasto Lorde in Type Soul (Hollow Progression)
How To Become Vasto Lorde

If you’d rather skip straight to Arrancar life:

  • As an Albino, press Ctrl+K (PC), D-Pad Down + Y/Triangle (Console), or Transform button (Mobile).
  • You’ll spawn as a Grade 3 Arrancar.
  • From here, you can focus on Hōgyoku Fragments instead of full Hollow evolution.

How To Get Hogyoku Fragments

Doing Raids

One of the easier ways to get Legendary Loot and Hogyoku Fragments is through doing raids. There are a lot of different raids in Type Soul with varying objectives that you’ll have to do. This is the beginner or noob-friendly way of getting Legendary Items.

The catch is that the loot can be a hit or miss since the ones who’ll get it are the first ones to take it. That means people using skills to knock back other players to get to the Lootbox is common, so you should do that too.

Type Soul Lootbox

There are a lot of different raids to choose from and here are all of them divided into two types:

  • Faction Raids
    • Conquest
    • Art of the Soul
    • Gladiators
  • Karakura Town Raids
    • King of the Hill
    • Team Deathmatch
    • Capture The Flag
Fighting In Ranked

Another way to get Legendary items fast is to go and fight 1v1 Ranked matches. This depends on your actual ELO and the higher your rank gets, the higher the chances of getting Legendary loot and Hogyoku Fragments.

The more you fight and win, the faster you increase your ELO and the better the loot you’ll get.

Type Soul Ranked Loot

At lower ELOs, you’ll only get commons. But when you reach around Silver, that’s where you get a chance to loot Legendary items.

When you’re at the highest rank of Semi-Master, which is around 100,000 ELO, then you’re guaranteed to get Legendary and Rare items only.

Becoming a Vastocar (Lesser)

From Grade 3 Arrancar:

  • Gather 7 Hōgyoku Fragments via:
    • Raids (Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, Wandenreich)
    • Ranked PvP
    • Clan wars
    • Keyscape instance bosses
  • Use all 7 in your inventory to instantly evolve into Vastocar.

Grading Up & Partial Resurrección

Grade Up
  • Do mission board quests to progress to Grade 2.
  • Reroll your weapon/element if needed for your build.
  • Learn Flashstep and Soul Style early — they’re free and essential.
Partial Resurrección Quest
Here’s a video showing Harribel’s NPC location so you can unlock Partial Res as a Hollow in Type Soul (Arrancar).
  1. At Grade 2, talk to Harribel in Hueco Mundo Coluseum (Middle of the Map).
  2. Head to Espada Castle → Upstairs lab → Pink orb.
  3. The orb gives you a quest item based on your element.
    • You must grip 2 opposite-faction players (Shinigami or Quincy) before starting the quest.
  4. Carry it to the pit without dying (getting knocked = permanent slow).
  5. Complete the Obby (jump puzzle). Fail it, and you must wait 30 minutes or grip 2 opposite-faction players to retry.

Once you’re Elite Grade, you can aim for True Vastocar by obtaining a True Hōgyoku Fragment.

Here’s a video showing where to find the Pink Orb to get Partial Res as a Hollow in Type Soul.

True Vastocar – Getting True Hogyoku Fragment

Hogyoku Fragments let you progress past the Elite state into “?” and “???” ranks. For Hollows/Arrancar, this means unlocking Vastocar and then upgrading to True Vastocar, which comes with powerful variant buffs.

Arrancar/Vastocar Requirements:

  • 7 Hogyoku Fragments → Lesser Vastocar (only if you removed your mask as an Adjuchas).
  • True Hogyoku Fragment → True Vastocar (any Grade). Grants 1 of 5 variant buffs.
  • 9 Hogyoku Fragments → Unlock Gran Rey Cero.
  • Total: 16 Hogyoku Fragments + 1 True Hogyoku Fragment.

If you became Vastocar normally, you can skip the 7 fragments for Lesser Vastocar.

Best Variant – Proficiency:
Replaces Hierro with Charge, built up through attacks. Certain moves consume Charge for massive damage boosts, making it extremely strong for aggressive playstyles.

How to Get True Hogyoku Fragments
  • Clan Wars
  • Boss Raids
  • AFK World
  • Trading (often for skill boxes from server raids)
  • Ranked PvP (only from Silver rank and up; not fully consistent but good alongside other loot)

Extra Info:

  • Mythical rarity – very rare.
  • Can be used at any Grade for Vastocar.
  • A second True Hogyoku can change your variant, but this isn’t recommended due to rarity.
True Hogyoku Fragment for True Vastocar in Type Soul Hollow

Full Resurrección

Stage 1 – Raid/Ranked Points
  • 13 raid wins OR 25 ranked 1v1s (Clan Raids = 2.5 pts, Ranked = 0.5 pts).
  • Check progress with V-Unequaled, Unrivaled in Karakura Town.
Stage 2 – Combat Kills
  • 50 Hollow NPC kills
  • 10 Elite Grade player grips
  • 1 boss kill (Bawabawa in Hueco Mundo or Jidanbo in Soul Society)
Stage 3 – Inner Hollow Maze
  • Go to Menos Forest, find the tree with the sword, meditate for 5 mins.
  • Inside the maze, avoid the Shadow Adjuchas and find the blue-eyed Hollow.
  • Talk to it to unlock Full Resurrección.

For more details, you can check out our guide on how to do Stage 3 Full Ressurecion for Hollows in Type Soul!

Segunda Etapa

After Full Resurrección:

  • Talk to the sword again.
  • Grip 20 players in Bankai/Vollständig/Full Res.
  • Complete this and you’ll unlock your Segunda Etapa — the peak of Arrancar power.
