Introduction
Welcome, aspiring Time Patroller, to our comprehensive guide for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2! This guide is designed to equip you with all the knowledge you need to navigate Conton City, master combat, and correct the twisted timelines. Whether you're a veteran of the first Xenoverse or a newcomer to the Time Patrol, this section will lay the groundwork for your epic journey.
Your First Steps in Conton City
Upon starting a new game, you'll be thrust into the bustling hub of Conton City. Your immediate priority is to familiarize yourself with the core mechanics and locations. Follow these steps to get oriented:
- Character Creation: The very first thing you'll do is create your custom Time Patroller. Pay close attention to the Character Select/Creation mode section of this guide, especially the subsections on Races and Appearance. Your chosen race significantly impacts your playstyle, so choose wisely!
- Initial Briefing: After creation, you'll undergo an initial briefing by the Supreme Kai of Time. This serves as your tutorial, introducing basic movement, combat, and the concept of Time Patrol missions. Don't skip these prompts, as they cover essential controls.
- Exploration & Key Locations: Conton City is vast. While you'll unlock the ability to fly later, initially you'll be on foot. Focus on locating these critical areas:
- Time Nest: This is your central hub for accepting main story missions (Time Patrol Quests). You'll find the Supreme Kai of Time and Elder Kai here.
- Patrol Quests Counter: Located near the Time Nest, this is where you accept Parallel Quests, which are excellent for grinding experience, Zeni, and unlocking new skills and equipment.
- Shop Districts: There are several shops scattered around. The Item Shop sells healing items and accessories, the Skill Shop offers new Super and Ultimate Attacks, and the Equipment Shop provides new clothing and accessories. Make a mental note of their locations.
- Mentor Locations: Various iconic Dragon Ball characters will appear as mentors throughout Conton City. Interacting with them allows you to learn their signature moves. Keep an eye out for their icons on your map.
Understanding the Lobby Menu
The Lobby Menu is your gateway to various game modes and settings. Access it by pressing the designated button (e.g., Options on PlayStation, Menu on Xbox). Familiarize yourself with these crucial options:
- Play Online: This allows you to connect with other players for online Parallel Quests, battles, and events.
- Play Offline: Access the main story, Parallel Quests, and other content without an internet connection.
- Data: Manage your save data, view your character's stats, and review acquired skills and equipment.
- Options: Adjust game settings such as controls, audio, and display preferences.

Embarking on the Campaign Mode
Your primary objective as a Time Patroller is to correct historical anomalies. The main story, or "Campaign Mode," will guide you through pivotal moments in Dragon Ball history that have been tampered with. Your first mission will involve addressing disturbances in the Saiyan Saga.
The initial segment of the campaign, detailed in Campaign mode Part A, will begin with the infamous arrival of Raditz. Prepare for your first true test as a Time Patroller in the mission: Time patrol: Saiyan saga part 1: Raditz attacks. Ensure you have a basic understanding of combat and your character's chosen race before diving in.
Good luck, Time Patroller! The fate of history rests in your hands.
