Rumble With Raditz

Learn how to defeat Raditz in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot with our guide. Discover boss stats, weaknesses, and effective strategies for Goku and Piccolo.

Support Characters:

Piccolo will team up with Goku against Raditz. Support characters can perform Super Attacks by holding [R1/RB] and pressing a face button. Super Attacks fill the Support Gauge; a full gauge allows the support character to assist. Higher Friendship levels increase Support Gauge capacity. There are three types of support characters:

• Offensive: Prioritize attacking.
• Defense: Protect you, blocking Ki attacks.
• Special: Restore health and Ki, with a chance to perform Offensive or Defensive actions.

Nam the Peddler Substory:

Start in the same area as Roshi's house. Use the world map to go to the region with Lucca Village. You can now dismount the Flying Nimbus using Down on the D-Pad. Head northwest to Lucca Village to find Nam. He needs help selling fruit. Trade rocks for an Ammonite Fossil, then trade the fossil to a man northwest of the village (on top of a waterfall) for a Food/Water Capsule. Return to Nam to complete the substory and receive Nam’s Soul Emblem.

Gentle Giant Substory:

Located east of Lucca Village, on a plateau. Eighter (Android 8) needs help with abandoned Red Ribbon Army robots south of his location, near the river. You will fight three robots and their Assist Bits (attack, assist, recovery). Prioritize destroying the recovery bit first. Destroy all robots and bits to complete the substory and return to Eighter. You will receive three Carrots and three Onions, plus Eighter’s Soul Emblem.

BOSS - Goku/Piccolo vs. Raditz:

Raditz is the first true boss. Piccolo assists you. Raditz uses "Cyclone Monday," which is best mitigated by blocking. He also has a melee attack that can stun you after charging energy.
