Guide to completing the Gentle Giant substory in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Learn where to find Eighter's robots and how to defeat them with Piccolo's support.

Alright, so you've stumbled upon the 'Gentle Giant' substory, huh? It's a pretty straightforward one, and you'll find it in the same general area where you kick off the main 'Rumble With Raditz' mission. Basically, Eighter's got some leftover Red Ribbon robots causing trouble, and since he's not exactly a fighter, he needs your help.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Where to Go: Head to the canyon located southeast of your current position, right near the river. This is where you'll find the robots Eighter wants dealt with.
  2. 2
    The Fight: When you arrive, you'll be up against three of those Red Ribbon robots. They're not super tough on their own, but they do have the numbers advantage. Don't worry too much though, Piccolo will be there to back you up as a support character.
  3. 3
    Watch Out for the Bits: Here's the real catch – these big robots aren't alone. They'll spawn in some smaller 'bits' that you'll also need to deal with. There are three types of these bits: an attack type, an assist type, and a recovery type. The recovery bit is the most annoying because it'll heal up the other robots, so try to take it out quickly. The assist bit buffs the others, and the attack bit... well, it attacks.
  4. 4
    Robot Attacks: The main robots have a couple of moves. They can telegraph an explosion emanating from their body with a red glow, and they might also charge forward before unleashing that shockwave. Just keep an eye out for that red glow and be ready to dodge.
  5. 5
    Victory Condition: To wrap up this substory, you need to destroy all three of the main Red Ribbon robots and all of the spawned bits.
Tips
  • Prioritize taking out the recovery bit first, as it can quickly undo your progress by healing the other enemies.
  • Keep Piccolo's support in mind; he can help you manage the larger groups of enemies.
  • The big robots' explosion attack is telegraphed by a red glow, so be prepared to evade when you see it.
