As with the original Xenoverse game, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 allows players to seek out Mentors to teach their character different skills that they can only obtain by completing certain tasks.
However, the Mentor system for Xenoverse 2 was tweaked in the sequel making it easier to get more tasks from mentors and to unlock them.
This Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Mentors Guide will explain how players can unlock new mentors and what they need to do to get all the lessons and skills from each mentor with a handy list of mentors and skills at the end of the guide.
HOW TO UNLOCK MENTORS
Mentors in Xenoverse 2 appear in Conton City as you progress through the story. The story goes through the different arcs of Dragon Ball Z and a lot of those characters show up in the overworld once you complete certain parts of each arc.
The game will ping you when a new mentor or new mentor mission appears on the map and all you have to do is find them and speak to them.
Each mentor will first fight you one-on-one in an introductory mission and go from there. Each completed lesson unlocks the next with each lesson having you use a new skill to defeat your mentor.
Mentors can also be your instructors like in the first Xenoverse game. They will grade your progress after every battle and will join you sometimes in Parallel Quests. You can also talk to them in Conton City and they may give you a Battle Item.
Some mentors and lessons can only be unlocked once your character reaches a certain level in the Time Patrol. A bar can be seen in the bottom part of the screen when you talk to a mentor.
Each completed lesson fills the bar and when it’s maxed out, you can take an advancement exam at the Patrol Academy.
PATROL ACADEMY
The Patrol Academy is where you need to go to take the advancement exam. Passing them will increase your rank and unlock new mentors and lessons.
The ranks go from: Beginner -> Intermediate -> Advanced -> Kai -> God
Each advancement exam will pit you against a set number of foes one by one. Every rank will increase the difficulty but will also reward you with a new skill.
