Piccolo’s journey in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero features a singular Sparking pathway. Below is a guide on how to navigate and fulfill this distinct storyline.
Initially presented as a foe in the Dragon Ball series, Piccolo has become a beloved character for many fans since his redemption arc. His deep connection with Gohan, Goku’s son, stands as one of the most significant relationships within the franchise. Despite often taking a backseat during battles to accommodate heroes like Goku and Vegeta, Piccolo takes a front-row seat in his own Episode campaign.
This unique Sparking pathway dramatically alters the conclusion of the Android and Cell Saga, offering a fresh perspective on the narrative.
Piccolo’s Pathways in Sparking Zero Episode Mode
In Piccolo’s campaign, the sole Sparking pathway available for unlocking and gameplay is:
- A Mentor’s Guidance
Instead of Goku confronting Cell and the Androids upon their arrival, this Sparking Episode envisions what would happen if Piccolo chose to engage in the conflict.
Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of how to activate Piccolo’s Sparking Episode pathway and what you can expect from it.
Overview of the A Mentor’s Guidance Pathway
To embark on Piccolo’s special journey in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, you should opt to assist Goku during his fight with Android 19.
Though Piccolo typically remains passive in the canonical story, the Sparking Episode narrative allows him to step in and largely assume Goku’s role during the Android and Cell Arcs.
Rescue Goku
Upon choosing to assist Goku, a cutscene will unfold where Piccolo encourages him to step back from the combat.
Piccolo then takes on Android 19 in Goku’s stead. To complete the first Episode of his narrative, you’ll need to defeat Android 19.
Rewards:
- 1000 Women
- 50 Player EXP
Androids vs. Piccolo
Subsequently, Androids 16, 17, and 18 arrive, expressing their intention to battle Goku. Instead, Piccolo decides to confront them. While Vegeta is occupied with Android 17, Piccolo engages Android 18.
To conclude this battle, you must weaken Android 18, which will lead to Gohan coming to support Piccolo after sustaining heavy damage in his fight against her.
Rewards:
- 1000 Women
- 50 Player EXP
Goku’s Request
This Episode is considered filler and thus involves no combat. Instead, it explores how Piccolo opts to fuse with Kami, another Namekian, to elevate his power levels and become a formidable opponent for Cell and the other Androids.
A subsequent cutscene details Goku asking Piccolo to train Gohan to bolster his strength for the looming battle against Cell.
Cell Transforms
Cell eventually makes his entrance, absorbing Android 17 and achieving a new, more powerful form. You must decrease Cell’s health to complete this Episode.
Rewards:
- 1000 Women
- 50 EXP
Training with Gohan
Realizing they cannot face Cell yet, Piccolo and Gohan head back to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to resume their training. To progress in Piccolo’s storyline, defeat Gohan during this Episode.
Rewards:
- 1000 Women
- 50 EXP
To the Cell Games Stage
Consistent with the anime’s plot, Cell extends an invitation to Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo for the Cell Games. However, instead of Goku beginning the matches, Piccolo faces off against Cell.
To unlock the final Episode of Piccolo’s Sparking pathway, you need to weaken Cell’s health.
Rewards:
- 1000 Women
- 50 EXP
A Mentor’s Guidance
As their confrontation intensifies, Cell and Piccolo engage in fierce combat once more. To complete this Episode and trigger the concluding cinematic of the pathway, you must entirely deplete Cell’s health. Be aware that this battle can be quite challenging.
Thus, it’s advantageous to strike first and minimize damage taken during the fight.
Boosting Piccolo’s Sparking meter can create opportunities for close-range strikes without frequent counterattacks from Cell, while launching Ki attacks from a distance will help chip away at his health effectively.
Ultimately, Gohan will triumph over Cell, this time aided by Piccolo, instead of Goku.
Rewards:
- 1000 Women
- 50 EXP
Upon concluding this pathway, you will earn one of the game’s prestigious Trophies and Achievements.
