Xenoverse 2 Expert Missions: Locations and Full List

Expert Missions in Xenoverse 2 do not sit at fixed menu entries: each new one appears as a purple orb of energy somewhere around Conton City, and once you have beaten the first nine, the Supreme Kai of Time merges the cleared ones into a single large orb at the back of the Time Machine Station. If the next mission is not showing up, the cause is almost always a missing rank, not hosting the mission, or story progress you have not reached yet. Here is how the system unlocks, the full list of 20 missions and how to fix a missing one.

We checked this against the fan wiki's Expert Mission and Festival of Universes pages, the older Xenoverse fan wiki's mission entries, Gamers Heroes' unlock guide and Steam community threads about missing rifts, in November 2026.

How Expert Missions Unlock

Expert Missions are side content that does not affect the main story. Each one pits you against a superboss, an enemy far stronger than normal. According to the fan wiki, every Custom Avatar unlocks them after completing the story mission in which Teen Gohan beats Cell. The Supreme Kai of Time then asks you to complete two tutorial Expert Missions, and from there each mission you beat unlocks the next.

Gamers Heroes' 2016 unlock guide adds two important conditions that most "missing mission" problems trace back to. First, you need a rank on the current mission to unlock the next one, and to receive a rank on a first clear you must be the host. Second, if the next mission is not visible where it should be, you need to progress further in the story. Once a mission has been completed, you can earn its rank while not hosting, and you can join any Expert Mission room another player has opened, whether you have cleared it or not.

Where to Find Them in Conton City

Every new Expert Mission shows up as a purple energy orb placed somewhere in Conton City. The orbs are spread around the city rather than grouped in one area, so after each clear it is worth doing a lap of the city's districts to spot the newest orb. Unlocking flight makes that lap far quicker, since some of the city is easier to cover from the air.

After you beat the first nine, the Supreme Kai of Time talks to you and merges the missions you have cleared into one giant orb behind the Time Machine Station, so you can replay old ones from one place. From that point on, new missions still appear as individual orbs around the city until you clear them, then join the merged orb. During the Festival of Universes, each universe lobby also has an Expert Mission bot, which is a convenient way to run missions while earning Glory Points, as our Festival of Universes guide explains.

The Full List of Expert Missions

The fan wiki lists 20 Expert Missions, counting the two tutorials. Bosses marked Supervillain are boosted versions. TP Medal rewards are per clear where the wiki lists them; every mission also pays Zeni and has a chance to drop Demon Realm Crystals.

Each non tutorial mission also lists at least one skill among its rewards. A few examples from the wiki: Expert Mission 3 gives Murder Grenade, 9 gives Assault Rain, 16 gives Super Spirit Bomb and 17 gives Spirit Sword. Some skills, marked "(Raid)" on the wiki, can only be used in Crystal Raid Battles when playing the villain.

Why an Expert Mission Is Not Showing Up

Work through these checks in order:

1. Did you get a rank on the previous mission? Without one, the next mission does not unlock. If you cleared it as a guest in someone else's room on your first attempt, you may not have received a rank. Host it yourself and clear it again.
2. Are you far enough in the story? The mode opens after Teen Gohan beats Cell, and Gamers Heroes notes that later missions can also wait on story progress. Push the main story forward, then look again.
3. Is it in the merged orb? Once nine are cleared, completed missions move into the big orb behind the Time Machine Station. Players sometimes mistake a merged mission for a missing one.
4. Are you checking the right character? Expert Mission unlocks are tied to each Custom Avatar's story progress, so an alt that has not beaten Cell will not see them.

The merged orb itself has caused confusion. In a Steam thread, one player said it appears after clearing roughly half of the missions, while another reported seeing it with the missions still incomplete and wondered whether that was a bug. The fan wiki's description, that it appears after the first nine are beaten, matches the first account.

Rules, Rewards and Farming Value

A few rules from the fan wiki shape how you should approach these fights:

• Up to six players. Expert Missions support six player teams.
• Offline bosses have less health, to offset the extra difficulty of playing without human partners.
• No capsules or battle items, except in the first two tutorials. Your build has to carry you.
• Demon Realm Crystals can drop from any mission after the tutorials. They are the entry tickets for Crystal Raid Battles and one of the two ingredients for Super Mix Capsule Z, which our level 6 QQ Bang guide explains.

Expert Missions are also a well known TP Medal farm. The wiki points to missions 16 and 17 because they are quick and give 16 TP Medals per run, while 18 and 19 give 18 medals per run but can be tougher depending on your build.

Which Missions Drop Demon Realm Crystals Most Often

If you are running Expert Missions for crystals rather than medals, the mission you pick matters a lot. The fan wiki's Crystal Raid Battle page lists the drop chance for each mission, and the gap between the early and late missions is huge:

• Missions 3 to 5: 1% per clear.
• Missions 6 to 8: 2%.
• Missions 9 to 11: 4%.
• Mission 12: 5%. Mission 13: 10%. Missions 16 and 17: 8%.
• Mission 15: 25%. Missions 14, 18 and 19: 30%.
• Mission 20, "Harbinger of Doom": 50%, the best rate in the list.

The same table lists the villain only skills that drop alongside them: Rage Saucer and Bloody Sauce from mission 13 (50% each), Marbling Drop from 15 (50%), Gigantic Ki Blast from 18 (50%), Brainwash Attack from 19 (50%) and Peeler Storm from 20 (60%).

What are crystals for? Creating a Crystal Raid Battle room costs one Demon Realm Crystal and makes you the raid boss, fighting up to five other players with greatly increased health and damage. Crystal Raids are started by talking to Fu in Conton City or using the time rift behind him, and the boss player earns a clothing piece from the pool of past raid exclusive rewards win or lose. The wiki also notes a shortcut: giving Fu a gift he already has makes him hand you 10 Demon Realm Crystals. Crystals are just as valuable for mixing, which makes missions 14, 18, 19 and 20 the efficient picks for QQ Bang material.

Expert Missions also feed a few side rewards in Conton City. The fan wiki's Patroller page notes that some NPC Time Patrollers with orange question marks ask you to have completed a set number of Expert Missions, then reward you with an item or a clothing set when you report back, so it is worth talking to them as your count climbs.

Tips for the Hardest Missions

• Expert Mission 13 pulls opponents from a pool, so each run can look different. Bring a balanced moveset rather than one tuned to a single boss.
• Expert Mission 15, "Extreme Malice!", takes place in Hell against Supervillain versions of Broly, Omega Shenron, Kid Buu, Golden Frieza and Janemba. The older Xenoverse fan wiki notes that defeating Janemba with between four and five minutes left on the timer brings out Mira in his final form for the Ultimate Finish.
• Expert Mission 20 chains Android 13, Dabura, Gohan absorbed Majin Buu and Fused Zamasu, so stamina management matters across a long fight.
• Level and stats matter more than usual because you cannot heal with capsules. Our level cap guide and attribute points guide cover how far you can push a character before you start.

Want Them All Cleared?

If you would rather have the full set done than chase ranks and orbs across Conton City, the store's God Mode CaC save lists "Expert Missions complete" among its story and mode completion items, together with the Tokipedia and Hero Colosseum complete and almost all Parallel Quests cleared at the highest score. It is a modded save for PS4 and PS5 only, not offered for PC or Xbox, and it requires that you already own the game, since only the save is sold. According to the page, you submit your PS4 or PS5 account handover details at checkout and the save is transferred to your profile.

The Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 store page lists the other options.
