How to Get Zangetsu and Unlock Ichigo True Bankai in Legacy Piece

Unlocking the Zangetsu Path in Legacy Piece

To obtain the Ichigo True Bankai, you must first possess the standard Zangetsu sword and its initial Bankai form. This process is a significant endgame grind in Legacy Piece, requiring specific character builds and item management. Before starting, ensure you have rerolled your race to "Hollow," as several quest stages—including the defeat of 2,500 hollows—require this race to progress.

Step-by-Step Acquisition Process

The journey to the True Bankai involves multiple stages of combat and exploration. According to player experiences, the workflow is as follows:

1. Initial Boss Fight: Travel to Quincy Castle Island while equipped with your Zangetsu sword. Interact with the Zangetsu NPC to enter the boss room. You will be restricted to using only the Zangetsu weapon during this two-phase fight.
2. Mask Collection: Once the boss is defeated, you must locate five white mask fragments scattered across the map. These are found at Rune City, Jungle Islands (near the "Speed Demon" NPC), Hollow Land, Slayer Mansion (behind a rock), and Legacy Island.
3. The Hollow Grind: After returning the masks to the Zangetsu NPC, you must defeat 2,500 hollows in Hollow Land. Using your Z-skill on auto-cast is a common strategy to clear these NPCs efficiently.
4. Resonance Farming: You need to accumulate 100 resonance by defeating level 20,000+ bosses. Community reports suggest summoning the extreme Ichigo Kurosaki Bankai boss at Hollow Land via the Whisperer NPC to maximize efficiency, as higher difficulty settings yield more resonance per kill.

Summoning and Defeating the Stern Ritters

After completing the resonance grind, you must defeat all five Stern Ritters. To summon them, you need 20 Rishi fragments and must have slain 50 Quincy soldiers.

• Combat Requirement: You must use the Ichigo sword to land the finishing blows on these bosses, or the kill credit will not be registered.
• Teamwork: Coordinate with other players on the official Legacy Piece Discord server to host "Stern Ritter" farm sessions if you find the solo grind too time-consuming.

Finalizing the Ichigo True Bankai

Once you have defeated the Stern Ritters, return to the Zangetsu NPC to collect the final list of materials: 10 Blood of the Black Blade, 10 Horn of Salvation, and 10 Shattered Fate. You will also need 150 million coins and the "Born from Defeating the Self" title.

The final boss, Ichigo True Bankai, requires a high-level build to defeat. Unlike earlier stages, you are not restricted to using the Zangetsu weapon here, so equip your strongest gear. After securing the win, you will unlock the weapon.

Weapon Upgrade and Passive Abilities

Even after obtaining the True Bankai, there is more work to do to fully upgrade it. You will need to:

• Use True Bankai skills 300 times.
• Defeat 30 level 25,000+ bosses while the weapon is equipped.
• Defeat the "Self that Shattered Fate" three times.
• Defeat Yu-Ha Baja once with the weapon equipped.

The weapon features a unique passive: by using skills, you build up a 500-point bar. Once full, pressing 'B' triggers a transformation that enhances your moveset, significantly increasing your damage output in combat.
