Dragon Ball Xenoverse – How to Collect All Seven Dragon Balls

Dragon Ball Xenoverse caters heavily to fans of the series. Just about everything you can imagine was included in the game, aside from beam struggles. That includes the ability to collect seven Dragon Balls and summon Shenron, who will grant you one wish. Once you summon Shenron you can wish for special armor or hidden characters to help further your progression.

Now that you know you can summon Shenron, the next step is to collect all of the Dragon Balls in a fast and convenient way. Many of the item drops in Dragon Ball Xenoverse are random. You may know what mission or quest to play through, but what you need to make an item drop is completely random, and even if you get everything, you need to find the item you’re looking for. On top of that, you may not get that item.

With the random factor of DB Xenoverse item drops, it can take an hour or two to collect all of the Dragon Balls, but we can at least provide you with one of the fastest and easiest ways to get the job done. Before you get started, you’ll need to do some combat to collect the Dragon Balls, so be sure to read our Dragon Ball Xenoverse Beginner and Advanced tips.

Once you have the hang of the combat system, get yourself to level 10 by completing story missions and Parallel Quests in Tokitoki City. At level 10, access the Parallel Quest counter and select Parallel Quest #2, “Prepare for the Attack of Saiyans!” This quest takes you to Kami’s Lookout where you must battle against Krillin, Yamcha and Tien.

Defeat the three Z-fighters, but do not proceed through the portal into the next area. Instead, head to the doorway that leads into Kami’s Lookout to find a Time Patroller waiting there. Defeat the Time Patroller, and with a bit of luck on your side, you’ll receive a notification indicating that you have obtained a key item. The key item is one of the seven Dragon Balls.

There are a few different ways you can partially increase your chances of obtaining the key item. You want to defeat Krillin, Yamcha and Tien as quickly as you can. The faster you can take them down, the better. Do the same for the Time Patroller that appears, and make sure to end that fight with a Super Attack or Ultimate Attack.

If you do not see the notification that you obtained a key item, access the pause menu and restart the mission. This allows you to try again as quickly as possible and save time. If you do get the notification that a key item has been collected, head through the portal and complete the quest to find the item in your inventory when you return to Tokitoki City. If you fail to complete the quest you will not receive the Dragon Ball, even if you received the key item notification.

Get the key item notification and complete the quest seven times to collect all of the Dragon Balls and summon Shenron. Once summoned, you can select a wish to obtain any of the following:

Now you can summon Shenron in Dragon Ball Xenoverse!
