This Peroxide Progression Guide condenses and expands the video transcript into a clear, step-by-step progression plan you can follow from fresh spawn to endgame content. It explains race choices, early progression, stat training, limit breaks, second modes, boss gating, accessories and gems, Storm Delves, ranked basics, and the hardest grind (Horn of Salvation). Read it as a checklist and reference you can return to while you play.
Quick roadmap (high level)
Pick a race that fits your playstyle (summary below).
Do starter quests → buy a gym membership → train core stats.
Use time gates and invasions to get levels, accessories and time relics.
Fill limit break bar (talk to NPCs / kill NPCs) and perform limit breaks to increase rank.
Hit level caps and follow the mode/boss progression for your chosen race (shikai, bankai, bonai, sagunda, etc.).
Run invasions / S-rank raids for the best accessories and time relics (for gems and Hoyokus).
Learn boss mechanics, master second modes (beat bosses 12+ times), and prepare for ultimate grinds (Vrage, Horn of Salvation, Hos).
Use Storm Delves and bounties for perk stones, rare drops and storm-specific loot.
If you like PvP, grind ranked and leaderboards; if PvE, chase S-rank invasions and PVE accessories.
Race breakdown
Soul Reaper (Shinigami)
Strengths: Highest damage ceiling; access to Visor, Vrage, strong haki/haka moves, and high-damage second modes.
Weaknesses: Hardest to progress (requires more boss mastery and challenging unlocks); lowest mode gain.
Play if: You want endgame damage and can commit to difficult boss grinds and Hoyoku chains.
Aronar (Hollow → Arrancar progression)
Strengths: Flat 15% multiplier to all stats once Vast; access to strong Ronar Haka moves; excellent PvE tankiness options; straightforward progression once you learn hollow path.
Weaknesses: Bosses are tough to solo; some steps require long farming.
Play if: You prefer survivability, consistent PvE performance, and easier overall progression than Soul Reaper.
Quincy
Strengths: Best mode gain and survivability; access to cybernetics (e.g., Heart Revive) and strong defensive kit (Blue Vein).
Weaknesses: Few standout racial moves; low riatsu pool limits some support usage.
Play if: You want reliable survivability and smoother mode cycling; team player builds.
Fullbrer (Fullbring)
Strengths: Good mode buffs, powerful element-locked moves, best combat heal (Mend).
Weaknesses: Weapon-locked elements constrain flexibility; worst PvE race overall.
Play if: You like PvP and niche Fullbring interactions; otherwise avoid for pure PvE.
Early progression — levels 1–15 (the basics)
Do the starter quest loop: Pull out your riatsu sensing ability to find quest boards (marked prompts). Complete early cleanup/collection quests to get money and XP.
Gym training:
Buy a gym membership (cheap early cost). Choose between Strength or Spirit depending on desired damage type; always buy Vitality alongside later.
Train the stat until you see stars; three stars at starter gyms, up to five stars at advanced gyms (Huo, Wandering Reich, Soul Society). Stars increase stat gains.
Avoid hybrid builds early; choose either Strength or Spirit and invest in Vitality as a baseline.
Time gates:
Use bus stations to teleport to time gate hubs (free travel). Time gates spawn on the hour and run until :32.
Pick Gladiator to speed up queues and learn PvP basics; time gates give good leveling opportunities.
Soul gourd / quest reward:
Buy a soul gourd from shop for 25 yen; fill it by killing enemies and turn in for extra stat points. This is a reliable stat source.
Reaching level cap and limit breaks
Stat caps: Combat stats (str/spirit/vit) share a pool; riatsu and agility have separate caps. When you hit the cap, you must perform limit breaks to raise your potential.
Filling limit break: Talk to NPCs, kill NPCs, or perform activities that give limit-break XP. When the limit break bar fills you can advance your rank (D → C → B → A → S).
S → S+ barrier: To go beyond S rank you must master your second mode (beat its boss enough times to fill mode mastery). Many players get stuck at this step; keep grinding boss mastery until the purple mastery bar is full.
Efficient stat-maxing method (the “5-star cheat”)
In Waco Munda, buy dojo membership to access a 5-star gym.
Push the stat you want to 29 with five stars.
Uncap the stat (set to the target) and train once — the value will jump much higher because stat gains scale with your existing stats.
Repeat across stats until you hit full max-stat allocation. Use accessories to push remaining gaps. This reduces the grind for endgame stat caps.
Accessories, gems and how to obtain them
Accessories
Primary sources: Time gates (drops and time remnants), invasions (best source), S-rank invasions for high tier rewards.
Invasions: Located in race realms, marked by purple triangles. D → B → S ranks exist; S gives the best loot. Invasions reward chests with accessories, time relics, and other currency.
Raid chests can contain common → rare → godly accessories.
Gems
How to craft: Spend time relics at the gem vendor (cost ~10 relics + yen) to receive random gem(s).
Use: Socket gems into moves to buff them (range, damage, effects). Gem rarities vary — check Trello or community doc for exact effects.
Farming: Do invasions and S-rank raids, and complete time gates to obtain relics and remnant drops.
Second modes, boss fights and mastery (race-specific how-tos)
General rule
For any second mode (Bankai, Bonai, Sagunda, Twin Soul, Vault Standing, etc.), you typically need:
Level requirement: Usually around 85–90.
Secondary points (SP): Often ~420 SP — you gain SP passively via time gates, boss raids, and invasions.
Beat the boss multiple times: First clear unlocks the mode; additional clears (roughly 12 times) are required to master it (purple mastery bar). Mastery unlocks full mode rank and allows progression beyond S to S+.
Soul Reaper specifics
Shikai: Around level 15; collect orbs via meditation and kill a rogue Shinigami to unlock.
Bankai / Bonai: Fight your Banai boss in their realm. Phase-based fights; you must pass initial phases to reach later stages. Mastery requires repeated clears.
Visored / Vrage:
Get Hoyoku (time remnant → impure hoyoku → visored mask).
Master visor by beating the visor boss 12 times.
For Vrage, you need an additional impure Hoyoku, kill 30 Vastes with visor equipped, then follow the NPC quest to find the specific named Vast you must kill. Vrage grants infinite riatsu and powerful unique mechanics. This is a long grind but extremely powerful in PvP and ranked.
Aronar (Hollow) progression
How to start: Let a hollow kill you to become a lost soul; then die again or spam G to pull out chain for hollow evolution.
Hollow tiering: Kill hollowos to level through Menos → Menos Grande → Autis → Vast. Alternate: use two Hoyokus to shortcut evolution (gives large kill credit).
Becoming Vast: Grants 15% stat boost and huge XP gains; this reduces future grinds substantially.
Quincy
Quincy Cybernetics: Heart Revive (best for survival), Gatling, other options — find via invasions and cybernetic vendor. Heart Revive is top PvP pick.
Fullbrer
Fullbring unlock: Follow Miss Michibane quests at night; finish her quest chain and survival tests (Agent Harlock fight). Fullbring is more PvP-oriented.
Storm Delves and Bounties — best PVE loop
Enter Storm Delve: You receive a Storm Tracker and Hope Tracker. Kill NPCs, clear bases, and complete bounties.
Bounty mechanic: Orange dots indicate bounties. Track them by the beep; you must grip the target yourself to receive reward. Bounties yield perk stones and loot.
Perk stones: Use 10 rare perk stones at the condensing altar to craft one legendary perk stone. Perk stones are extremely valuable for customizing builds.
Boss spawn: Large storm delve boss spawns periodically — drops title cards and rare items. This boss is hard solo; team up or use top PvE accessories.
Extraction: Use Hope Tracker to trigger the escape extraction point and extract safely to keep rewards. If you die before extraction, you lose items.
Ranked basics & battle tower (PvP focus)
Rank tiers: 1v1 through 5v5 brackets with independent ELOs. Higher ELOs grant more battle points.
Battle tower: Spend battle points to unlock chests/tiers; higher tiers increase drop chance of godly accessories and rare cosmetic items.
Requirements: You must be within 25 levels of max to queue in ranked modes. Ranked rewards include cosmetics, product essence, reroll items and trading goods.
Horn of Salvation — the endgame gauntlet
This is the hardest, most punishing unlock in the game. Prepare to commit.
Requirements:
Maxed Visor Mask (purple mastery).
Obtain a pure Hoyoku (1% drop from Stark when triggering Waco Mundo boss raid via Time Splitter/Charge Time Splitter from Wandering Trader).
Step 1 — 50 S+ kills:
In Waco Mundo, kill 50 S+ (max rank) players without dying. Dying resets the counter to zero. Use a coordinated team to protect you.
Step 2 — 5 time gate kills:
Also requires 5 kills within time gates. Dying resets both counters.
Step 3 — the obby:
Complete a challenging obby after speaking to the obby NPC inside a deep ravine. Failing here resets the S+ kills/time gate kills. Practice obby offline (community obby copy) before attempting.
Step 4 — face Tarumi:
After obby, you are teleported to highest point in Waco to face Tarumi. To challenge Tarumi you must also win five time gate matches in a row (streak). Then beat Tarumi in a very hard fight (cheese methods exist).
Complete Hos acquisition:
After defeating Tarumi and completing the sequence, you unlock Hos. This unlock is permanent after the obby checkpoint; no need to redo previous 50 kills.
Notes:
Do this with a dedicated crew. Any death along the way can force massive repetition. This grind is designed to gate top content.
Practical tips, quality-of-life and combat advice
Server hop smartly: For rare spawns (Vast, boss raids), use server hopping to find specific mobs faster.
Grip credit: For bounties and certain quests, you must be the one to grip enemy NPCs/players to receive credit. Don’t let others finish your grips.
Accessories matter: Best PVE accessories drastically shorten boss fights and Storm Delve clears. Save S-rank invasions for accessory farming.
Use time relics: Save relics for gem crafting — a single good gem can outvalue tons of grind.
Practice bosses offline: Use training or community obbies to rehearse movement patterns and obby skill checks before risking resets.
Mastery counts: Always check the purple mastery bar for modes and visor — until it’s purple you cannot progress beyond S rank in many systems.
Perk stone condensation: Use condensing altars in Storm Delves to upgrade perk stones — this is the route to legendary perks.
Avoid reckless PvP during critical grinds: If you’re on a 50-kill run for Horn of Salvation, do not take unnecessary risks. Run, hide, and complete objectives safely with a team guard.
Use Heart Revive in PvP: For Quincy or team fights, Heart Revive cybernetic is invaluable — it returns you to 35% HP once per use.
Peroxide mixes long solo grinds with high-reward raid mechanics and surgical PvP goals. Pick the race that matches whether you want raw damage (Soul Reaper), survivability and smooth progression (Quincy/Aronar), or PvP-centric tools (Fullbrer). Use invasions, time gates, and Storm Delves as your main loops for accessories and relics. Treat second-mode bosses as repeated mastery chores; persistence is the name of the game. For the highest tier unlocks — Vrage, Hos, Horn of Salvation — prepare with teammates, practice the obby and boss routes, and manage risk carefully.
