2.) Secret Characters
I refer to these characters as secret characters, due to the fact that they are
not unlocked by simply playing straight through the battles within the game.
They also tend to be the harder characters to unlock, and some of them are
among the strongest characters in the game.
- Android 16 -
This peace-loving android can be unlocked only by playing through Krillian's DU
mode a second time. During the Namek Saga there will be a point where two red
markers will be available on your map, and you must head to the easternmost
marker to initiate a conversation with a frog containing Captain Ginyu's
consciousness. After the scene, proceed through the DU as normal, and you will
reach the Android Saga as a new feature to playing Krillin's DU a second time.
During this Saga, if you search the chain of islands on the southern portion of
the map, you will find a 'plains' area. Here, Krillin and Trunks will find a
damaged android 16. After the scene, head to West City, where Bulma will
repair Android 16, and he will become playable.
- Bardok -
Goku's father can be unlocked one of two ways. He will be automatically
unlocked if you have a DragonBall Z: Budokai 2 save file on your memory card.
Otherwise, as soon as you begin Goku's DU a second time, search the northern
mountains for Raditz' Spaceship/pod. When you find it, enter it, and you
will receive Bardok.
- Broly -
The massive and powerful legendary super saiyan is one of the more elusive
characters to unlock, but it is not difficult to do so. In order to unlock
Broly, you must play through Goku's DU Story a second time after having
completed it once before. The next step is to reach the Majin Saga,
specifically the point where Goku is looking for someone to fuse with via the
Potara earrings. This segment occurs right after the scene where Gohan is
absorbed by Super Buu. First, look in the immediate area surrounding where
Goku starts this stage. A ??? nearby should start a conversation with Hercule.
Once that scene ends, head towards the red dot on your map, but do not begin
the battle with Super Buu yet. Near the battle with Buu, will be another ???
mark what will show a scene with Tien. Once that is finished, search the
surrounding area for a location that reads 'Mountains'.
If you have found the correct location, a dialogue with kabitoshin will ensue,
where he discusses a greater evil being on the earth, and how he is intimidated
by the fact. Once this dialogue has ended, feel free to fight Super Buu. Once
you defeat Super Buu within Buu's body, there will be a new dialogue where
Vegeta will hold off Buu so that Goku can investigate the new force. A new red
marker will appear on the map, where Broly will be waiting. Defeat him, and
Broly will be unlocked for all modes, including DU.
Note: Broly can be faught by Vegeta on a second play through of Vegeta's DU
mode. Head to the island covered in snow before fusing with Goku to battle
Super Buu, and you will have an automatic dialogue with Kabitoshin about Broly.
After the dialogue, battle Buu as normal, and you will eventually face Broly.
Using Vegeta will not unlock Brolly, but it is necessary to fight him for some
of Vegeta's rare capsules.
Note2: Broly can also be faught by Gohan (Adult) as happens in the actual movie
and in the Broly's DU mode, during a second playthrough of Gohan's (Adult) DU
mode, but this will not unlock Broly.
- Cell Jr. -
Cell Jr. is unlocked in Dragon Arena mode. You must be fighting with a level
20-40 character, and should be battling opponents well above your level, 30+ or
so. If you continue to do this, eventually Piccolo will break in and challenge
you. When you defeat him, Cell Jr. will be unlocked.
- Cooler -
Frieza's Brother also tends to give gamers a bit of trouble to unlock. The
most important note in unlocking Cooler is to complete Vegeta's DU, as well as
Goku's DU. Play through Goku's DU a second time. After your battle with
Frieza, there will be three red dots on your map of Namek. Proceed to the red
dot directly below where you faced Frieza, and you will have to battle Super
Saiyan Vegeta. Once you defeat Vegeta, head towards the red dot near the
middle of the screen. This dot will initiate Cooler's appearance, and upon
defeating him, Cooler will be unlocked.
Note: While Cooler can be battled in various ways with various characters in DU
mode, he can only be unlocked through the process listed above.
- Hercule -
During Piccolo's DU, search the desert south of Kami's lookout near Baba's
palace after the event at central city, but before fighting Buu. Once you find
Hercule you will then want to talk to Videl in central city, which will unlock
Hercule.
- Kid Goku -
Goku's Childhood self can be unlocked one of two ways. The first is to
complete Broly's DU. Kid Goku can also be unlocked if you visit Grandpa
Gohan's house during Goku's DU, if you visit it after fighting Raditz, but
before fighting Nappa. Grandpa Gohan's house is located on the right side of
the map along the coast, near the middle of the west coast. It is an old
oriental style building located among many rock pillars, and is not hard to
find.
- Omega Shenron -
To face off with Omega Shenron, you will need to be playing through Goku's DU
mode on a second time or more. In order to battle Omega Shenron, you need to
have collected Goku's SSJ4 Capsule. With this prerequisite set, fulfill the
requirements for fighting Broly as listed above. Once you have beaten Broly,
ignore the red dot on your map and proceed to West City where Goku will have a
dialogue with Bulma about the Dragon Radar. Proceed to the red dot on your map
now, and defeat Gotenks using the Gogeta fusion. Once you have done so, a new
red dot will light up on your map, where you will find Omega Shenron. SSJ4
Vegeta will arrive, and he will fuse with Goku to form SSJ4 Gogeta and you will
battle Omega Shenron in this form. Defeat Omega Shenron in an incredibly easy
battle, thanks to the power of SSJ4 Gogeta, and you will unlock Omega Shenron,
as well as Goku's SSJ4 Gogeta capsule.
Note: Some players claim that collecting the DragonBalls is not required for
this series of events.
- Saibaman -
You can unlock the Saibamen for various modes by competing in the Dragon Arena
mode. Your character should be level 10-20 and facing opponents at least twice
your level. Nappa will eventually break in, and when he is defeated, you will
unlock the Saibamen.
- Supreme Kai -
Supreme Kai can be unlocked during Gohan's (Adult) DU mode on a second play
through, by searching the map and viewing the two Videl events and beating
Goten. After both of those are complete, head to Kami's lookout and beat
Piccolo. When the Debura marker appears, head to the mountains on the northeast
coast of the main continent to have a discussion with Vegeta. Afterwards
proceed to defeat Debura. Gohan should now decide to pursue Vegeta instead of
Buu. Defeat Vegeta, then head to the dot on your map, but before you face Buu,
scan the immediate area. There is a 'plains' location which is easier to find
by using the Ki-search (R1) near central city, where you will find Supreme Kai
and he will be unlocked for you after the scene with Gohan.
I refer to these characters as secret characters, due to the fact that they are
not unlocked by simply playing straight through the battles within the game.
They also tend to be the harder characters to unlock, and some of them are
among the strongest characters in the game.
