Product Information

Adjust your elevation level to be perfectly aligned with the blue enemy "cloud" (press :r1: / :r2: to fly up or down while scanning with :l1: ). Go to Olive Village (East Ravine Area). Go to the south-east corner of that map above the ravine. Enemies tend to be below your level here and always respawn in the same place after a few seconds. See the video for location and demonstration. Play through iconic DRAGON BALL Z battles on a scale unlike any other. Fight across vast battlefields with destructible environments and experience epic boss battles against the most iconic foes (Raditz, Frieza, Cell, etc.). Increase your power level through RPG mechanics and rise to the challenge!

Fly forward and press :l3: to speed up and hit the enemy cloud straight on. This should instantly defeat them without going into combat. You can use any character for this, but it should be your highest level character (I used Goku). Your level doesn't matter. The hitbox is as wide as the cloud outline, which is the same for all enemy types (so small enemies have the same hitbox as big enemies).Relive the story of Goku and other Z Fighters in DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT! Beyond the epic battles, experience life in the DRAGON BALL Z world as you fight, fish, eat, and train with Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and others. Explore the new areas and adventures as you advance through the story and form powerful bonds with other heroes from the DRAGON BALL Z universe. Smashing into a low-level enemy while running at your maximum speed will instantly defeat the enemy and give you your combat rewards, allowing you to skip the tedium of fighting them. This only works with enemies that are at a lower level than you.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot - Metacritic

What’s especially notable is how Kakarot doesn’t shy away from the less combat-heavy, more character-driven moments, such as Piccolo’s training of Gohan, Gohan’s entire Super Saiyaman substory involving him and Videl, or Vegeta finally calling Bulma by her name and not just “woman.” The result is a condensed version of Dragon Ball Z that really focuses on the development of its characters, specifically Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo, and it’s a great way to watch them grow and change.

Easter Eggs

Pay attention the Community Board. The buffs and bonuses given here can help a lot, especially as you combine different Soul Emblems, so it’s worth putting in the time to understand and use the Community Board system. There's the "ManualSaveX.sav". You'll have to rename the File. Rename the File into a Save Slot, that you want to use. There are a scant few sidequests I experienced that broke the mold, like a standout one involving “the ghost of Yamcha,” which has you following around an imposter Yamcha as he goes on various dates after the events of the Saiyan saga. I won’t spoil the big reveal of the quest, but it ended up being very sweet and was a great example of how sidequests could have been used to tell interesting substories about established characters. If more sidequests were like this, instead of a bunch of different variations of fetch, collect, and protect quests, Kakarot would’ve been a much stronger game as a whole. While Kakarot works great as an arena fighter, largely by keeping the action pretty similar to previous games, its RPG side weighs it down. Sidequests are almost always painfully plain, relying far too much on banal tasks like finding ingredients for a chef to make you a dish, getting mechanical parts for Bulma to repair a machine, or defending a helpless NPC by fighting the same three generic Red Ribbon Army robots that you’ll blow up a million times over the course of the campaign. Worse still, the EXP offered for completing most of them simply pales in comparison to the amount you get for beating main quests, making them feel incredibly unrewarding as well.
