Paradox Gravity Bankai Progression Guide Wiki
Initial Setup
To begin, optimize your game settings for the best experience. Press the M key to access the settings menu. Start by turning off the background music and disabling screen shake. These adjustments help minimize distractions and improve visibility during intense gameplay moments, allowing you to focus better on your actions and strategies.
Navigating to the Division Trainer
Next, press the comma (,) key to open the in-game map or navigation menu. Once the map is open, make your way to the Division Trainer location. This area serves as your hub for accessing various quests and training missions essential for your progression.
Efficient Leveling Strategies
For fast leveling, focus on completing specific quests that offer substantial experience points (XP) and Yen. The first recommended quest is the “Transport the Buyer” mission. In this quest, your objective is to eliminate the designated enemy, referred to as the “black dude,” carry them to the drop-off location, and complete the mission. This quest is quick to complete and provides decent rewards.
Another effective quest is “Find the Rogue Impostor.” Here, you need to eliminate multiple NPCs until you identify and kill the Rogue Impostor. Persistence is key; continue engaging NPCs until the quest marker updates, indicating completion. Repeat these quests until you reach 75 Potential. You will receive a notification on your screen once you’ve maxed out your potential.
Enhancing Your Skills with Skill Points and Skill Gems
As you complete missions, you’ll earn skill points that can be used to enhance your abilities. Focus on missions that offer the highest XP and Yen rewards to maximize your skill point gains. Once you’ve accumulated enough skill points, navigate to your skill tree to allocate them effectively.
If you prefer sword-based combat, for example, select the Swift Approach skill gem to enhance your blade attacks. Drag the skill gem from your backpack to your skill slots and allocate skill points to unlock and upgrade desired abilities. This customization allows you to tailor your combat style to your preferences, making your character more effective in battles.
Completing the Shinigami Test
Once you’ve reached 75 Potential, you need to pass the Shinigami test to continue your progression. Navigate to the designated classroom area by following the in-game map or using teleportation commands. Interact with the professor by pressing E to initiate the test.
The test will consist of several questions related to the game’s lore, such as the number of captains in the Go 13 (which is 13), the first evolution of a Zatō (Shikai), the primary duty of Soul Reapers (protecting the Living World from Hollows), and the location where Soul Reapers reside (Soul Society). Answer these questions accurately to successfully complete the test and unlock further progression steps.
Fighting KK to Unlock Shikai
After passing the Shinigami test, your next objective is to fight KK to unlock your Shikai ability. Navigate to Soul Society by selecting it from the server list. Use the comma key to locate KK on the map. Be prepared to dodge Hollows that may interfere with your battle. Utilize your skills, such as Swift Approach, and practice parrying and countering attacks to gain an advantage.
Be aware of potential server bugs where KK might not engage properly. If this happens, try switching servers to find another instance where the battle can proceed smoothly. Successfully defeating KK will grant you a Skill Crystal, indicating that you’ve beaten KK and unlocked your Shikai ability.
Meditating to Unlock Shikai
With KK defeated, return to the Solidey area to initiate the meditation process. Interact with the meditation point to begin. The meditation process consists of three stages.
In the first stage, you will need to press circles in the correct sequence as they appear on the screen. Focus and respond quickly to the prompts to progress. The second stage involves a Guitar Hero-style rhythm mini-game, which may have some keybind delays, especially in Early Access versions. Practice your timing to successfully complete this stage. The final stage requires you to complete the last sequence to finalize your meditation. Successfully completing all three stages will unlock your Shikai ability, enhancing your combat prowess.
Continuing Your Progression
With your Shikai unlocked, continue enhancing it by using Skill Crystals and additional skill gems to further customize and strengthen your abilities. Engage in more challenging missions and advanced quests to maximize your XP and potential gains. Preparing for future content is also crucial, so stay tuned for Part 2 of this guide, where special guests will introduce advanced progression techniques to help you dominate the game.
