Kou and the Hollow Existence is a story event.

This event is part of the Thousand-Year Successors series. Listed in order of premiere:

• Forgiveness and Gratitude
• Kou and the Hollow Existence
• Falsetto in the Autumn Gray

One boy's quest to illuminate
a false history nears its end.
But a thousand-year-old tale thought to be
over refuses to go quietly.

He feels dread stirring in his chest;
a darkness is coming for him and
his loved ones.

Two sides of the same coin will meet
through happenstance,
and he will uncover another truth about
the lost royal families.

For new players

• Complete each chapter, quest, and raid boss; each awards Crystal ×50 on first-time completion.
• Obtain as many
  
  Over Mastery RingsOver Mastery Rings
  • Coronation Ring
  • Lineage Ring
  • Intricacy Ring
  as you reasonably can from badge, honor, and token rewards.
• Earn trophies for additional Crystals.
• Damascus Crystals are a good long-term investment given their scarcity outside of events. Obtaining all three (and the Damascus Grain) is recommended if AP/Elixir consumption is not a concern.
• Complete the daily mission every day.

Notable Rewards

• Holy Fox Strings is an offensive alternative to the Dominion Harp from What Makes the Sky Blue. Keeping one 3★ copy is recommended if you do not have a better Light harp for main weapon purposes.
• Sapphire Dance: Habotan

Haa, I'll never forgive him, I'll never forgive him. That scoundrel! Why is he always getting rewarded? Why is he always getting saved? Why?! Why, even though he's the one who's taken everything away from me...?! But finally, finally, I'll be able to vent out this frustration. Ku, Kuhahahaa! Next up in Granblue Fantasy, "Kou and the Hollow Existence" I'm going to slaughter that scoundrel for sure!

He feels dread stirring in his chest;
a darkness is coming for him and
