Close Encounters of the Troublesome Kind

Learn how to complete the 'Close Encounters of the Troublesome Kind' Substory in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Find the Durasaurus and defeat it for great rewards!

Alright, so you're looking to tackle the 'Close Encounters of the Troublesome Kind' Substory in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot? Awesome! First things first, you'll need to have finished up two other substories on Namek: 'Tourists in Trouble' and 'Rogue Chef Melone'. If you've done that, you're good to go. You'll be able to start this one when you're heading to investigate a mysterious monster in Gingertown, during the main story mission 'The Hyperbolic Time Chamber'.

Basically, those alien folks from Namek are back, and this time they're on Earth to try some durasaurus meat. Since they're a bit worried about danger, Piccolo decides he'll handle hunting the beast himself. So, hop onto your world map and fast travel to the Gizard Wasteland. Keep an eye out, and you should spot the durasaurus nearby.

When you find the durasaurus, don't worry, it's not too different from the regular dinosaurs you've probably already encountered. You'll want to use your Ki blasts to take it down. Just be ready, because once you start hitting it, the durasaurus will charge at you. It won't actually hurt you if it connects, but it will definitely knock you back a bit. This particular dinosaur is a bit tougher than the usual ones, so it might take a little while to deplete its health. Once you finally defeat it, you'll automatically warp back to the alien couple. You'll see someone bothering them, and guess what? It's Melone from that Namek substory! Turns out he's been their guide on this whole food adventure. After a quick chat, Melone will hand over an Ultimate Fruit Juice as a reward.
