Fans of the highly popular fighting RPG, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will surely agree that the Great Ape versions of Vegeta and Nappa bring about serious challenges especially during the early stages of the game. For those of you that are new to the challenge, you may feel that the Great Ape may be too much of a challenge but the truth is, with proper utilization of some abilities, the Great Ape is actually just a moderate boss in the game. Today, we will be discussing the effective methods to properly beat the Great Ape versions of Vegeta and Nappa.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2: How To Beat Great Ape Vegeta and Nappa

Before we can start the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 guide, let me tell you first that although the game suggests that you should "grab hold" of their tails, in reality, it's really not that effective and it just takes too much effort and time. Also, it leaves you more vulnerable and open for errors thus, making the battle even harder. In short, we will not be following the game's tip in beating these humongous monkeys. Now that we've got that covered, let's move on to the actual guide.

Tip #1:

How to Effectively Destroy Nappa's Shield - The first thing you need to do during the battle is to destroy Nappa's shield which is the purple bar you see in the game. The best way to do so is to keep your distance and utilize the targeting system to chip away the shield bar. One trick is to press and hold the Ki blast button to improve your shot. Once you've taken the shield, deal as much damage as possible to Nappa, you can also use your special abilities during this time. Once you see the shield bar fully replenished, rinse and repeat the given process.

Tip #2:

Survivability - One thing to note during this Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 battle is that, it definitely will take some time to complete primarily because you need to avoid getting damaged while hitting the two of them with your Ki Blast. A lot of failures during this match are attributed to the players' haste of defeating the Apes. Basically, you need to keep your distance first and spam your Ki blast to Nappa (which should be taken out first), while also dodging both of their attacks.

First, you need to dodge Nappa's rocks sa you spam him with Ki blast. Once he's staggered, beat the crap out of him and keep your distance once again when he's about to recover. Rinse and repeat this process during the battle.

Second, Vegetta's laser blast is a lot deadlier than Nappa's rocks and so keep in mind that as you slowly take out Nappa, you need to dodge Vegetta's lasers as well. Simply fly away so that Vegetta's attacks won't be able to reach you. As stated earlier, utilize the targeting system to effectively take them out in a distance. Lastly, equip energy pellet in order to replenish your HP along the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 battle.
