King of the Demon Realm?

Learn how to defeat the reformed Dabura in the 'King of the Demon Realm?' substory in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Master his attacks and claim your rewards!

Alright, so you're looking to tackle the 'King of the Demon Realm?' substory in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot? Awesome! This one pops up after you've wrapped up the main story and also finished the 'Porunga Part 2' substory. You'll find it waiting for you in the East Ravine Area. Don't worry, you'll be playing as Goku for this one.

You'll run into Dabura, who's apparently turned over a new leaf. After a bit of convincing from Goku, he'll agree to a friendly spar. Now, Dabura might seem a bit easy at first, but he's just warming up. He's going to start pulling out all the stops, which mainly means unleashing two powerful Super Attacks: Flame Blaster and Dark Sword Strike.

Flame Blaster is pretty straightforward – it's a big Ki blast. He might throw a few of these out back-to-back, so be ready to hit that dodge button to avoid them. The real tricky one is Dark Sword Strike. This is a three-hit sword combo that he'll always finish. You really don't want to block all three hits, because that's a fast track to getting your guard broken. Instead, your best bet is to dodge backward, away from him. Dodging sideways can be risky, as the second or third hit might still catch you. Just keep at it, learn his patterns, and you'll take him down!
