So, you’re diving into the explosive world of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and itching to unleash the full power of its expansive roster? Unlocking every character in this action-packed game is a journey in itself, blending story progression, side quests, and a bit of diligent wish-granting. Here’s the breakdown:
How to unlock all characters in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2?
The core roster of non-DLC characters is primarily unlocked through playing the game. Focus on completing the Story Mode and tackling Parallel Quests (PQs). Finishing the main story unlocks a significant portion of the base characters. For the remaining non-DLC characters, you need to find NPCs with blue marks over their heads scattered around Conton City. These NPCs offer “first run” versions of specific PQs that must be completed solo (without allies). As for Shadow Dragons and Awoken Hit, these characters are unlocked by gathering all seven Dragon Balls and making the appropriate wishes to Shenron. DLC characters, naturally, are unlocked by purchasing and installing their respective DLC packs. Keep in mind that some characters, such as Mutant Zamasu, Demigra, and Final Mira, are exclusive to Crystal Raids and are unlocked with gifts earned through participating in those raids. Now, let’s dig into some more details with some FAQs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some of the common questions surrounding character unlocks and other in-game features in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Consider this your complete guide to getting the most out of your Xenoverse 2 experience.
1. How do I unlock Parallel Quests (PQs) in Xenoverse 2?
Completing the base story is the first major step. However, not all PQs are unlocked simply by finishing the story. To acquire the remaining PQs, search Conton City for NPCs marked with blue icons. These NPCs offer “first run” versions of PQs that must be completed solo. Completing these opens the PQs for multiplayer.
2. Where are Gohan and Videl? I can’t find them in Xenoverse 2!
After progressing through the Buu Saga, Gohan and Videl become available at the Patroller Academy. However, to actually engage with them as mentors, you need to find them at Kame House, located at the southernmost point of the map. Use the transportation device to warp there or simply fly.
3. Can I become a Super Saiyan God in Xenoverse 2?
Yes! You can become a Super Saiyan God (SSG) for your Saiyan character. The key is collecting all seven Dragon Balls. Summon Shenron and choose the wish, “I want to become a Super Saiyan God.” This unlocks the Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (SSGSS or Super Saiyan Blue) Evolved form, which is a powerful transformation. Also, see question 14 on how to unlock Gohan Beast form.
4. Where do I find Beerus in Xenoverse 2?
Once you’ve beaten the game, look for Beerus on top of Orange Star High School. Be warned: he demands a high level of training. You’ll need a total training level of God to start training with him and Super to finish his training regimen. Beerus is your ticket to mastering moves like God of Destruction’s Anger, GoD’s Rampage, GoD’s Wrath, and Sphere of Destruction.
5. What is Gohan’s strongest form?
Until recently, Ultimate Gohan was considered his peak. But, in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Gohan unlocked a brand new form: Gohan Beast. This form is a hybrid of Super Saiyan 2, Ultra Instinct, and his Ultimate upgrade, solidifying it as his strongest form to date.
6. Can Goku attain the Beast Form?
Currently, the Beast Form seems exclusive to Gohan. The lore suggests that it’s the result of Gohan embracing his human potential rather than relying on his Saiyan heritage. This divergence is why Goku and Vegeta may not be able to achieve the Beast Form.
7. Can humans transform in Xenoverse 2?
Absolutely! Humans in Xenoverse 2 have access to their own unique transformation. Complete the Great Saiyaman missions in the Hercule’s House time rift to unlock the Flying Nimbus and Power Pole transformation. This unique awoken skill allows humans to soar through the sky on the Nimbus and unleash fast, powerful attacks with the Power Pole.
8. How do I unlock the Legendary Super Saiyan Saga?
The Legendary Super Saiyan Saga is a hidden storyline. You must collect all five Time Chasm Crystal Shards scattered throughout the game. Once you have them, return to Trunks to unlock this hidden saga, which focuses on Broly.
9. Who is the strongest playable character in Xenoverse 2?
The meta shifts with updates and DLC, but consistently high-ranking characters include Goku (Ultra Instinct), Orange Piccolo & Piccolo (Power Awakening), Gohan (DBS: Super Hero), and Jiren (Full Power). These characters boast powerful movesets and transformations. Ultimately, character strength depends on player skill and build optimization.
10. Can I unlock Ultra Instinct in Xenoverse 2?
Yes, you can achieve Ultra Instinct! While the process isn’t overly complex, mastering the build and acquiring the necessary skills to effectively utilize the form requires dedication. Practice makes perfect, so get into the training mode.
11. What is Ultimate Gohan?
Ultimate Gohan (also sometimes referred to as Mystic Gohan) is a state where Gohan’s potential is fully unlocked by Elder Kai. It’s not a Super Saiyan transformation, but rather a state where Gohan’s latent power is brought to the surface. This allows him to fight at his full capacity without the strain of transformations.
12. Where can I learn more about game design and learning?
This question isn’t directly about unlocking characters in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, but it is related to games. For those interested in exploring the educational aspects of gaming and how games can be used as tools for learning, I highly recommend checking out the Games Learning Society. You can visit their website at GamesLearningSociety.org for valuable resources and research.
13. Is the Gohan Beast Transformation free in Xenoverse 2?
Yes, the Gohan Beast transformation was added to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 as a free DLC. This means that players who own the base game can unlock and experience this powerful new form without additional cost, provided they have access to the DLC content.
14. How do I unlock the Gohan Beast form?
The Gohan Beast transformation requires the “Hero of Justice Pack Set”, then you must do the following steps after purchasing it:
- Complete the main story.
- Complete the “Hero of Justice Pack 1” story.
- Raise your friendship with Gohan (Beast) and Piccolo (Power Awakening) to maximum.
- Talk to Gohan (Beast), who will be near the transfer shop to receive the Beast transformation for your created character.
15. What DLC packs are recommended to buy?
This depends on your play style. Some DLC include new storylines and transformations, so it is best to check the list of transformations and movesets available in each DLC. Then, choose the DLC which best fits your play style and the type of warrior you are aiming for.
Unlocking every character in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a testament to your dedication and mastery of the game’s mechanics. Enjoy the journey, experiment with different characters, and hone your skills to become the ultimate Time Patroller!
