Learn how to beat Super Perfect Cell in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot! This guide covers his clone summons, special Kamehameha, and Sonic Beam attacks.

Alright, so you've made it to the final showdown with Cell in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. This is it, the big one! Don't sweat it though, I'll walk you through it. This fight has a couple of new tricks up Cell's sleeve, but we'll handle 'em.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    SSJ2 Gohan vs. Perfect Cell (Pre-Final Form): Honestly, this part is a breeze. Cell is pretty much the same as before. If you've been upgrading Gohan's skills, a Super Masenko should take a huge chunk out of his health. Just don't get too reckless and take too much damage yourself. After this, Cell will revert to his Semi-Perfect form and attempt to self-destruct, but Goku intervenes. Then, Cell returns for the real final battle.
  2. 2
    SSJ2 Gohan vs. Super Perfect Cell: This is the main event! Cell's brought his A-game. You'll see some familiar moves, but he's got some new ones.
  3. 3
    Dealing with Clones: Early in the fight, Cell will summon copies of himself. These clones can use Super Attacks and function independently. The key thing to remember is they only have one health bar, making them easy to spot. It's super important to take these clones out ASAP because they really complicate the fight.
  4. 4
    Countering Special Kamehameha: Once the clones are gone, it's back to you and the real Cell. He can unleash a special Kamehameha, similar to those massive attacks from previous big fights. You'll see a little cut-in on his face – that's your cue! As soon as you see it, rush him down and lay into him to dispel it.
  5. 5
    Surge Mode and Punishing Storm: That same cut-in also signals the start of Cell's surge mode. He'll unleash a barrage of Super Attacks, finishing with something called Punishing Storm. This involves him summoning a ring of energy orbs around you that will explode. After this, he'll be vulnerable for a few seconds, so get some hits in!
  6. 6
    Sonic Beam Attack: Later on, Cell will use a move called Sonic Beam. Think of it like Frieza's Death Beam, but way more intense. He'll spawn a bunch of clones that also use this attack. Just keep moving; you shouldn't get hit if you stay mobile. He fires these lasers twice before continuing the fight normally.
  7. 7
    Final Push: Your next surge mode will likely cycle through Sonic Beam and Punishing Storm again. Just be ready for either. Keep the pressure on, chip away at his health, and you'll eventually emerge victorious.
Tips
  • Focus on getting rid of the clones first before going back to the real one.
  • Don't be afraid to be aggressive, but always keep an eye on your health.
  • Keep moving during the Sonic Beam attack to avoid getting hit.
  • Use the brief windows of vulnerability after Cell's surge attacks to deal damage.
