Hollow progression is the most state-sensitive Peroxide route. Early Hollows grow by fighting other Hollows rather than using the normal training loop, advance through larger evolution stages, choose when to remove the mask and become an Arrancar, then develop Resurrection and pursue Segunda Etapa through the Hollow Prince. Read every irreversible prompt before acting.
Begin as a Hollow
Confirm the current action that turns your character into a Hollow and the consequence for existing progress. Once on the route, learn basic attacks, movement, survival, and the way the game shows evolution progress. The official stats card says Hollows below Arrancar stage cannot use normal stat training and gain levels through Hollow combat.
Fight targets you can finish consistently. Avoid crowded zones where a stronger player or NPC can interrupt a long evolution session. If a red-eye or temporary stage is involved, check what death removes before taking a risky fight.
Evolve through Hollow stages
The official Trello documents a chain through normal Hollow, a red-eye state, Gillian or Menos, Adjuchas, and Vasto Lorde. Exact kill counts and survival windows have changed across public guides, so the live progress message is the authority.
At every stage, record your current form, progress cue, safe hunting area, and death penalty. Do not remove the mask simply because the option appears. The stage at which you become Arrancar affects the resulting Arrancar type and its long-term progression.
Choose when to become Arrancar
Older official cards distinguish Menoscar, Adjucar, and Vastocar outcomes based on the Hollow stage used for mask removal. Their old multiplier and level-cap numbers are not safe current guarantees, but the choice itself is important.
Decide whether your goal is the fastest playable Arrancar route or the deepest Hollow evolution before converting. Check the current prompt, ask what will be lost, and make sure the result supports later Segunda requirements if that is your plan. A mistaken mask removal may require a reset rather than a simple retrace.
Unlock and use Resurrection
The official Resurrection card says Arrancars receive a random Resurrection identity and reveal or unlock its abilities through progression. G activates the equipped form once the required mode bar condition is met. Current meter percentages and rank behavior need a live check.
Test the first available move against a stable target. Record its range, scaling direction, resource use, cooldown, and whether it changes after transformation. Do not reroll before deciding whether the current form works with Strength or Spirit and your preferred range.
Use Resurrection for mode operation and spelling aliases. “Resurrección,” “Resureccion,” and “Resurrection” refer to the same Peroxide form family, not separate routes.
Build toward Segunda Etapa
The official Segunda card connects the advanced form to a later level, activity progress, Menos Forest, and the Hollow Prince trial. It lists older point values from Time Gates, raids, Storm enemies, Invasions, and Incursions. Use Hueco Oscura’s current dialogue and the live boss access prompt to determine readiness.
Choose a reliable activity rather than the highest historical point reward. Keep a record of wins and boss dialogue. If the dialogue changes, you have an observable milestone even when the exact hidden total differs from an old chart.
Navigate Menos Forest
Menos Forest is dangerous and filled with hostile Gillians or Menos. The official location card connects a castle or ruined structure and a deep opening to the Hollow Prince route. Use Menos Forest for landmarks and enter with a recovery plan.
Before dropping into a trial area, confirm whether you can leave, where death returns you, and whether a phase checkpoint is available. Do not carry unrelated valuable items into a dangerous route.
Beat Hollow Prince
The official trial card describes a multi-stage encounter: direct Hollow Prince pressure, ancient Adjuchas, later Arrancar opponents using advanced forms, and renewed boss phases. Its checkpoint details and phase balance need current testing, but the structure means resource management matters.
Use short attacks in unknown phases, preserve healing for add transitions, and identify which opponent must fall before recovery appears. Hollow Prince gives the phase plan without inventing current health or damage.
Activate and train Segunda
After the current trial confirms the unlock, equip Resurrection, fill the required bar, and use G according to the live mode prompt. Older cards describe Segunda as an advanced activation layered over Resurrection and trained through repeated use or boss victories.
Measure the live duration and mastery progress yourself. Do not publish or build around an old base duration. Practice a short sequence that fits comfortably inside the current mode window before attempting a full combo.
Recovery and common mistakes
If evolution progress disappears, identify whether death removed a temporary state or the route required a different target. If mask removal produced an unwanted stage, stop before spending rerolls and check current reset options. If Resurrection does not activate, confirm it is equipped, the mode bar is ready, and you are an Arrancar.
If Hollow Prince is unavailable, verify level or rank, activity progress, dialogue, and exact Menos Forest entrance. Do not confuse a public Hollow-themed raid with the private Segunda trial.
A safe Hollow route is deliberate: evolve, verify, choose the mask stage, learn Resurrection, build current activity progress, then enter Hollow Prince. The path is slower when rushed because its irreversible decisions and death states matter more than a single copied number.
