Time Machine Station

The Time Machine Station is your central hub for reliving and re-experiencing the pivotal moments of Dragon Ball history, as well as tackling challenging side missions. Located in the north-eastern section of Conton City, easily identifiable by the large, glowing Time Machine hovering above it, this area is crucial for progression, unlocking new content, and grinding for valuable items and experience.

Accessing the Time Machine Station

Upon arriving in Conton City and completing the initial tutorial missions, you'll be directed to the Time Machine Station as part of the main story questline. Speak to the Time Patroller NPC stationed directly beneath the Time Machine to access its functions. Initially, only a few story missions will be available, but as you progress through the main narrative, more options will unlock.

Key Functions of the Time Machine Station

Story Missions (Main Quests): These are the core narrative missions that advance the plot of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. You'll revisit key battles from the Dragon Ball Z and Super timelines, correcting historical anomalies caused by Towa and Mira. Completing these is essential for unlocking new characters, areas, and abilities.
Parallel Quests (PQs): These are side missions that offer unique challenges and rewards. PQs are an excellent source of experience points, Zeni, and rare drops, including:
- Skills: New Super Attacks, Ultimate Attacks, Evasive Skills, and Awoken Skills.
- Super Souls: Equipable items that grant various passive buffs during battle.
- Equipment: Clothing pieces that alter your character's stats and appearance.
- Materials: Used for crafting and other in-game systems.
PQs are categorized by difficulty and often feature unique battle conditions or enemy compositions not found in the main story. Many PQs have hidden objectives or "Ultimate Finishes" that, when met, significantly increase your chances of obtaining rare rewards. Always check the mission details for potential Ultimate Finish conditions.
Expert Missions (EMs): These are high-difficulty cooperative missions designed for multiple players. Expert Missions pit you against powerful, giant-sized foes or multiple strong opponents with unique mechanics, such as mind control or giant Ki blasts. Successfully completing EMs yields high experience, Zeni, and often exclusive Super Souls or Awoken Skills. Communication and teamwork are vital for success in these challenging encounters.
Crystal Raids: A special type of online-only Expert Mission where players team up to defeat a powerful Raid Boss. These events are time-limited and offer unique rewards, including exclusive Super Souls and sometimes even new characters or costumes. Keep an eye on the in-game announcements for when Crystal Raids are active.

Strategies for Efficient Use

Prioritize Story Progression: Initially, focus on the main story missions to unlock more PQs and EMs. New content often gates behind story completion.
Grind for Skills and Super Souls: If you're struggling with a particular mission, check the available PQs for skills or Super Souls that might give you an edge. For example, the "Divinity Unleashed" Awoken Skill (obtained from PQ 83: "Power of a Super Saiyan God") is incredibly useful for Ki-based builds.
Master Ultimate Finishes: Many rare items are tied to achieving the Ultimate Finish in Parallel Quests. This often involves defeating specific enemies last, protecting allies, or completing the mission within a time limit. Experiment and consult online guides if you're having trouble.
Co-op for Expert Missions: Don't attempt Expert Missions solo unless you are significantly over-leveled or have a highly optimized build. Utilize the online lobby to find teammates, or invite friends.
Vary Your Playstyle: The Time Machine Station offers diverse challenges. Don't be afraid to experiment with different character builds, skills, and Super Souls to find what works best for each mission.
