The recently released Dragon Ball Z Kakarot allows fans of the anime the opportunity to re-experience the captivating world and story of Toriyama's Dragon Ball Z. The game provides players the original story of Dragon Ball Z with a newly developed visual style and a battle system inspired by previous titles that share the franchise's name. From the Saiyan saga all the way through the Majin Buu saga, Kakarot embodies what it means to love the martial arts anime. Providing intense and satisfying boss battles, incredible power-ups and a vast open-world adventure Kakarot is a satisfying adventure game for casual and hard-core fans of the series.
It would not be a Dragon Ball Z title if the titular items of the series were not incorporated into the gameplay. These Dragon Balls are hidden throughout the large map of Kakarot and allow for players to have access to prior boss fights or even to claim rare items for their search. Although this guide will provide the location of these Dragon Balls, note that each location is not the set in stone spot to find that ball. The location is randomly placed but will be often found in the following locations. If they are not there, don't fret, the item will be in the general location so just be diligent in your search.
