Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is officially out en masse today and fans everywhere will undoubtedly be jumping in to enjoy the quality Dragon Ball-themed experience. Up until now, the game has only been available via early access, and review scores have been very solid so far.
There has been a lot said about Sparking Zero this past week, but one thing you probably heard above all else is that the Great Ape Vegeta boss fight is really hard. Players have been struggling with this fight in particular, and if you’re just starting out, you’ll definitely want some tips on how to defeat him without lowering the difficulty. All you need is two minutes to learn how to deal with him.
IGN has released a very concise and easy to understand guide that features tips on how to beat Great Ape Vegeta in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. The crux of this tutorial runs for only two minutes, and by the end of it, you should have a strong strategy to slay the beast.
Playing through Goku’s story in Sparking Zero will ultimately see you encounter a boss fight against the giant ape version of Vegeta. You’ll run into him fairly early into your journey, and by most accounts, this boss is a skill check for anyone who dares face him.
The first tip this tutorial provides is that of “staying alive.” You’ll surely feel the urge to rush in and hit this towering behemoth as much as you can to inflict damage, but in reality, what you want to do is move around a lot, keep your distance, and use the hit and run approach to tag him where you can before getting out of dodge.
When it comes to the tech that will likely save your life, though, there’s no question that it’s the following. IGN suggests that you aim to utilize ranged attacks (specifically Goku’s Kamehameha blast), and there is a crucial timing you need to know in order to consistently and safely pelt him with the powerful beam in order to knock the ape’s health down.
