Learn how to train with Piccolo in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot! This guide covers Gohan's dinosaur hunt, the Foggy Future substory, and your sparring match with Piccolo.
Alright, so after the initial Saiyan invasion stuff, the game shifts focus to Gohan for a bit. He's on his own and needs to hunt some dinosaurs. Don't worry, it's not a full-blown mini-game, but it's a cool way to get some materials and food. You'll find dinosaurs roaming around in the fields. Your regular attacks won't do much, but your Ki blasts are the key here. Keep blasting them, and they'll charge at you. It's kind of neat because even if they hit you, you get knocked back but don't take any damage. Just keep up the Ki blasts, and you'll take them down for some sweet loot.
Once you defeat a dinosaur, a cutscene will play, and Piccolo will show up. He's survived on his own too and is ready to officially start training Gohan, beginning with flying. This is a big deal because it makes exploring and getting around the world so much easier. After that, a new Substory will pop up, so let's go take care of that.
Substory - Foggy Future
This substory has you helping Baba, who's getting attacked by some robots. You'll be facing two Skull Robos and a small Assist Robot. Nothing too tricky here, you should be able to handle them easily, especially since you've probably fought similar robots before. Once the last robot is down, this quick substory wraps up.
| Objective | Reward |
| Saved Fortune Teller Baba | 141 EXP, D Medal (x1), Awesome Book for Grown-Ups (x1), Fancy Urn (x1) |
Gohan vs. Piccolo
When you're all set, head to the main mission marker to spar with Piccolo. If you remember fighting him at the start of the game as Goku, he's pretty similar. Since you've played as Piccolo quite a bit by now, you should have a good feel for his Super Attacks. His Demon Flash Strike is a charge move, so it's pretty easy to dodge by sidestepping. Keep an eye out when Piccolo starts charging his Ki; that usually means an Explosive Wave is coming. Be ready to block this one, as it comes out fast, and you might be up close when he uses it.
After the sparring session with Piccolo, there will be a few scenes that lead into the next mission.
