Segunda Etapa (commonly referred to as just Segunda) is an end-game mode for Arrancars, and is the 2nd Mode for them.
How to get Segunda Etapa[]
Segunda Etapa in Peroxide, you must beat the hollow prince. Here are the prerequisites for engaging in this battle and attaining Segunda Etapa:
- Attain Level 90.
- Accumulate 420 “Points"
- Obtain points through different means:
- Completing a Time Gate awards 75 points if your team wins, and 25 points if your team loses.
- Time Bubbles grant 1 point for each % of boss health you deal.
- Defeating a Storm Vastocar awards 10 points if you contribute the majority of the damage (at least 60%)
- Invasions : 5 points for stealing an object, 12 points for killing a guard, 22 points for killing a leader
- 6 points for each guard grip during an incursion.
Once you meet all these prerequisites, farm level 90, and then initiate the process by jumping into the Prince's Den in the Menos Forest.
The prince gives two dialogues :
- You are strong, but, your soul lacks.. something… vital. You must fight those beyond the hourglass, or within the gates of war. I refuse to prey upon anyone else… – You have collected less than 200 Points.
- Your soul is finally gaining that spark, continue your training. Return to me once you’re finally worthy prey – You have collected more than 200 Points.

Peroxide Segunda: Segunda Boss[]
Note : the term "Hollow Prince" will be used here in exchange for Hueco Oscuro. They mean the exact same thing.
Phase 1:[]
The Hollow Prince jumps at the player and starts attacking him. He will use Flash Stamp, Aggare Cero, an unknown beam move, Scatter Image, Flash Mirage, and Bala. After the Player deals a percentage of his health (around 80% health), the Hollow Prince backs down and sends his minions to fight him.
(For this phase, i suggest using a tanky build because if you use a glass cannon build, you'll be obliterated easily)
Phase 2:[]
The Hollow Prince sends out two ancient Adjuchas. These Adjuchas are slightly stronger than the ones in Hueco Mundo. The player will not get any sort of Health restoration until both Adjuchas are dead.
Note: Passing Phase 2 once will set up a checkpoint, and this phase will be skipped repeat attempts. However this checkpoint only appears if they're rank S- or above.
(Play the game)
Phase 3:[]
The Hollow Prince makes a return, this time he will have more skills to his kit. The player has to once again deal a percentage of his Health (around 66% health), and, when he does so, the Hollow Prince will once again disappear and hide while his minions fight for him.
The aforementioned checkpoint merges this phase with phase 1, and he will not get the extra moves.
(Use a somewhat strength based build for the rest of the phase. I beat this boss first try with 170 vit and 300 str)
Phase 4:[]
The Hollow Prince sends in an Arrancar to fight the player. This Arrancar will be using the Resurrección, Manifest, when fighting against the player. When the Arrancar reaches half-health, they will activate their Segunda Etapa and heal back to near max health. After a long and hard battle, another foe appears.
(Beware of the Arrancar popping domain expansion)
Phase 5:[]
The Hollow Prince sends in another Arrancar to fight the player. This Arrancar will be using the Resurrección, Acceleration, this time. The player has to repeat the same thing they did in the previous phase, because this Arrancar also has Segunda Etapa. After the player has defeated the Arrancar, the Hollow Prince decides to come back to finish off the player.
(Easy fight)
Phase 6:[]
The Hollow Prince makes his final return, and, this time, it is the player’s goal to kill him. He will now have access to the Beast Resurrección. When the player has successfully killed the Hollow Prince, they will be sent out of the Prince's Den.
"The truth, unveiled. Your might, realized. May the world quake and shake. Unlimited power, the hunt has been conquered.” Congrats, one has earned Segunda Etapa (you can view the outfit variants for Segunda Etapa in the Arrancar page).
Peroxide Segunda: Segunda Boss Cheese[]
If you struggle to beat the Segunda Boss, you can use these following methods to beat it.
Method 1, Tanky:[]
Reach level 175. Put around 120-150 Stats on your Strength, and the rest on Vitality. This will make you super tanky, making it nearly impossible for you to die, and still make you deal a fair amount of Damage. (Not recommended for the Segunda Mastery)
Method 2, Glitch:[]
The Glitch is a bit Tricky to preform, but very Helpful.
Requirements:[]
- Stats: 150-200 Vitality, remaining Stats on Strength.
- Hakuda: Must be Maxed
- Skills: Maxed Outspeed (MAIN PART OF GLITCH), Maxed Evasive Move (Any Evasive to Escape m1's or attacks), Other Skills to damage (Combo Extenders, Ressurection Moves, etc.)
Performance:[]
- Be on Phase 6 (last one)
- Keep the Boss on the Right/Left Upper Corner or near the 'Gate'
- Use Outspeed and bring him to the Wall/The Gate's Frame
- He should be Bugged in the Wall and trying to come out (He wont normally)
- M1 him until he dies, and grip him. (If he's too far up you could try Uppercutting him, using a move like Cyclone, or my personal favorite, Earth Crouching Dragon, and he should come down.)
[I am working on making it more understandable][]
Remember:[]
This ONLY works on the OBTAINMENT of Segunda, NOT THE MASTERY.
Peroxide Segunda: Segunda Mastery[]
To be in Segunda Etapa longer, an Arrancar will need to beat their Inner Spirit multiple times (13 times to full mastery). To fight the boss so one can increase their mastery, one needs to meditate (N key), and click on "I wish to spar." Then, click on "I wish to hone my skill (XP & Mastery)." One will know when one has mastered their Segunda Etapa when the outline of their bar has turned purple. Inner Spirits will have your currently equipped skills, but will also use all of your Resurrección skills regardless of if you have them unlocked or equipped. Running a Resurrección that scales off of spirit while running a strength build can make the fight much easier, as the AI doesn't take into account move scaling. Your mastery also passively increases by using the mode, but this takes an extremely long time (1000 uses) and it is not recommended.
(Use 490 Strength and unequip evasive if you want and do a 1 shot combo)
A way I did it was to max your strength (490 str, no vit), and equip vessel and (preferred but not needed) use some pve accessories. So get outspeed first, and an evasive. At the start of the fight, swing a full m1 combo at the inner spirit, then follow up with outspeed. This should bring him to segunda if done right. Then, run around until he pops vessel ult, make sure to save your evasive to when he uses it and dont get hit. Since vessel ult causes self damage, this should glitch and 1 shot the inner spirit. Now rinse and repeat until your segunda bar turns purple, indicicating full mastery
Segunda Mastery tips[]
You can make a full strength build, this will make the bossfight a "the first to attack wins" fight if you have a reliable combo.
