πWelcome to the Afterlife: An Introduction to Type Soul
Type Soul is a premier action-oriented experience on the Roblox platform, drawing heavy inspiration from the iconic anime and manga series, Bleach. Players are invited to forge their own legend within a spiritually charged world, aligning with one of several distinct factions.

The game underwent a significant re-release and overhaul in the summer of 2025, establishing the modern foundation that players experience today.
The August 2025 "Hell Update" was a landmark patch that fundamentally reshaped the game's landscape, particularly its endgame progression and the power ceiling for all races. This update introducedTrue Formsβpinnacle transformations like True Bankai, True Segunda, and Sklave Reiβwhich function as powerful "domain expansions" that can alter the very conditions of a battle.

βοΈForging Your Path: Choosing Your Starting Race
Every player's journey in Type Soul begins as a Lost Soul, a blank slate awaiting a crucial decision. The first and most important choice is which spiritual race to align with. This decision dictates your entire progression path, unique abilities, combat style, and role within the world's factions.

πThe Ultimate Progression Compendium
The path from novice to elite warrior in Type Soul is long and arduous, filled with specific trials designed to test dedication and skill. Each race follows a multi-stage progression with a common structure: initial grind, high-stakes hunting phase, and final skill-based trial.
π―Universal Progression Priority Framework
Regardless of your chosen race, this optimal progression sequence will maximize your efficiency and minimize wasted time. Follow this exact order for the fastest path to endgame:
Time Investment Reality Check
The Shinigami's Journey: From Trainee to True Bankai
Early Game (Trainee to Grade 2)
Complete quests from mission boards to accumulate experience and rank up to Semi-Grade 2, which is the prerequisite for unlocking core abilities and redeeming codes. Focus on Soul Society mission boards for optimal experience gain.
Division Progression & Flash Step Unlock
Press N to open menu and unlock Flash Step and Soul Style - these are essential for progression. Join Division 5 for easiest quests (same Hollows, same location). At Grade 2, you're ready for Shikai.
Obtaining Shikai - Meditation & Combat Mastery
Meditate 3 times for 5-7 minutes each (press M). You'll know each session is complete when your character stands up. Learn your whispers - they tell you your Shikai type. Then face your ZanpakutΕ spirit.
Shikai Boss Fight - R Critical Technique
Master the R Critical: Hold S (backward) + Flash Step away, then when the NPC flash steps to you, press R for counter-attack block break. Stay patient, use all your moves, but rely heavily on this technique.
Obtaining Bankai (Multi-Stage Trial)
Stage 1: Win raids/ranked matches. Stage 2: Kill world boss + 80 Hollows + 15 elite players WITHOUT dying. Stage 3: Find true ZanpakutΕ with Kisuke, then battle Bankai spirit using R Critical technique.
Vizard Path (Optional but Recommended)
Collect 10 Hogyoku Fragments, find randomly spawning Vizard NPC in Hueco Mundo. Complete mastery tasks: win 3 raids with mask on, grip 20 Soul Reapers, grip 15 Soul Society NPCs.
Hell Update - True Bankai
The new pinnacle of Shinigami power, unlocked by completing challenges within the Hellverse endgame zone. Functions as a 'barrier-based domain' that traps and overwhelms opponents.
βοΈMaster Combat Technique: The R Critical
This technique is absolutely essential for Shinigami success in both Shikai and Bankai boss fights:
The Hollow's Evolution: From Lost Soul to True Segunda
Becoming a Hollow - Initial Evolution
Start as Fishbone Hollow. Kill other Hollows and NPCs, then press B (grip button) to eat the remains. This builds evolution points. After eating several Hollows, you'll become a Menos Grande.
Menos to Adjucha Evolution
As a Menos, find and kill another Menos (either NPC or player). This triggers your evolution to Adjucha. Now you have two critical choices for your progression path.
The Critical Choice: Mask On or Off
As Adjucha, you can remove your mask (Ctrl + K) to become Arrancar immediately, OR continue grinding to Vastocar for stronger Arrancar form. Vastocar requires max cracks from killing other Adjuchas.
Vastocar Boss Fight & Transformation
With max cracks, find your Vastocar NPC using the arrow guide. This boss requires parrying and block breaking. Fight near cliffs so you can escape if low health. Death resets your crack progress!
Arrancar Progression to Grade 2
Remove mask (Ctrl + K) after becoming Vastocar. Now do mission boards in Hueco Mundo to reach Grade 2. At Grade 2, complete the resurrection obby trial.
Obtaining Full ResurrecciΓ³n
Stage 1: Win raids/ranked matches. Stage 2: Kill world boss + 80 Hollows + 15 elite players WITHOUT dying. Stage 3: Menos Maze - find glowing blue-eyed Hollow while avoiding instant-death shadow creature.
Obtaining Segunda Etapa
Grip 20 players in their transformed states (Bankai, Full Res, Voltstanding, Fullbringer Mode). Confirmed by unique choking animation. Can be completed repeatedly on friends/alts.
Hell Update - True Segunda
The Arrancar's ultimate form, described as a 'barrierless domain.' More potent and covers wider area, allowing battlefield domination through overwhelming power.
πΉHollow Evolution Mechanics & Timing
- β’ B Key: Grip/eat remains after kills
- β’ Ctrl + K: Remove mask (become Arrancar)
- β’ Follow Arrow: Find Vastocar NPC location
- β’ Parry & Block Break: Essential for Vastocar fight
- β’ Early Arrancar: Faster progression, weaker form
- β’ Vastocar Path: Longer grind, much stronger
- β’ Death Consequences: Resets crack progress
- β’ Server Quality: Affects obby trial success
The Quincy's Crusade: From Recruit to Sklave Rei
Early Quincy Progression
Start in Wandenreich, progress to Grade 2 through mission boards. The area is designed for easy leveling. Interact with central statue past the bridge to receive Schrift quest.
Schrift Quest Requirements
Kill one Menos Grande, one Shinigami player, five Fishbone Hollows, one Adjucha, and one Arrancar player. Complete all requirements then return to the statue to obtain your Schrift.
Voltstanding Stage 1-2
Stage 1: Get to Elite Grade and win 13 Raids or 20 Ranked matches. Stage 2: Complete no-death trial - kill one world boss + 80 Hollows + 15 elite players without dying once.
Trial of Balance (Stage 3) - Master Parry Technique
Go to Wandenreich castle top, speak to Balance NPC. You must perfectly parry 20-30 lightning strikes. The secret: look up constantly, and the MOMENT you see anything, immediately press F to parry.
Hell Update - Sklave Rei
The Quincy True Form manifests as a 'gimmick-based domain.' Imposes unique rules that can debuff enemies or provide massive advantages, changing fights through strategy over raw power.
β‘Master the Balance Parry Test
This is considered one of the hardest skill checks in Type Soul. Here's the proven technique:
- β’ Look Up: Keep camera angled upward constantly
- β’ Hair Trigger: Press F the instant you see ANYTHING
- β’ Low Latency: Ensure stable internet connection
- β’ Practice First: Master parrying in other content
- β’ Perfect Timing: Even slight delays cause failure
- β’ Consecutive Success: Must parry 20-30 strikes in a row
- β’ No Margin for Error: Missing more than a few = death
- β’ Visual Cue: Lightning appears very briefly
The Fullbringer's Awakening: From Human to Twin Souls
Early Human Progression
Start as human in Karakura Town. Focus on mission boards to reach Grade 2. Unlike other races, you'll remain human during this initial progression phase.
Finding Elect Gingjo in 'Fake' Karakura Town
At Grade 2, you need to find NPC Elect Gingjo. He's located in what the community calls 'fake' Karakura Town - the same place where Kisuke is located for Soul Reapers. Look for the specific spawn area.
Building Corruption Bar
Talk to Elect Gingjo to begin Fullbringer progression. You need to fill your corruption bar (the third bar on your UI). Do this by gripping NPCs or players, or simply by meditating.
Fullbringer Trial - Keo Strategy
Enter the trial with three waves: regular Hollows, Menos, and Adjucha. CRITICAL: You cannot health pack after each wave, only between them. Use Keo fighting style - spam moves while running away constantly.
Mastering Keo Combat Technique
Focus on using Rishi Spike ability while maintaining distance. Keep moving, never stop running, and use your range advantage. This hit-and-run tactic is the key to surviving all three waves.
Obtaining Twin Souls (Fullbringer Bankai)
Stage 1: Get Elite Grade and win 14 Raids or 26 Ranked matches. Stage 2: Kill Bawabawa world boss + 80 Hollows + 15 elite players without dying. Stage 3: Complete unique personalized trial.
