Learn how to defeat the revived Frieza in the 'The Return of the Emperor' substory for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Includes tips for his second and final forms.
Alright, so you're ready to take on one of the most iconic villains in Dragon Ball Z history again? 'The Return of the Emperor' substory is your chance to do just that in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. It pops up after you've finished the main story and also completed the 'Porunga Part 2' substory. You'll find it waiting for you in the West Area. This isn't just a quick scrap; you'll be facing Frieza in two tough battles: first his second form, and then his terrifying final form!
Walkthrough
- 1First Fight - Frieza's Second Form: This initial encounter is pretty straightforward. Frieza here doesn't have a massive move set, but you'll still need to watch out for a few key attacks. Keep an eye out for Death Blaster, a quick Ki blast, and Death Storm, where he sends out three orbs that detonate after a short delay. His Death Surge is a charging attack that can be tricky to dodge, so blocking is a good option if you can't quite get out of the way in time.
- 2Second Fight - Frieza's Final Form: After you take down his second form, Frieza will transform, kicking off the second, more challenging battle. He's got a lot more tricks up his sleeve now. Watch out for Death Beam, a rapid series of lasers. Death Slicer is a disc-shaped projectile you'll need to dodge. Death Pummel looks like a charge but ends with a tail whip. The real showstopper is Death Ball – a massive energy sphere that Frieza hurls at you. It explodes, but there's only a small window where it actually deals damage, so timing your evasion is key. Death Blaster also makes an appearance here, similar to other characters' Consecutive Energy Blast attacks.
Tips
- The second fight with Frieza is significantly tougher due to his expanded move list. Pay close attention to his attack patterns, especially the more dangerous ones like Death Ball.
- Don't rush the second fight. Take your time, observe Frieza's movements, and strike when you see an opening.
- Blocking is a viable strategy for some of his charging attacks like Death Surge if dodging proves difficult.
- Defeating the revived Frieza nets you 283,219 EXP, 2 D Medals, 1 Card 027, and Frieza’s Soul Emblem.
