Xenoverse 2 All Instructors Location and Unlock Guide

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has 33 instructors including DLC, and all of them stand at fixed spots around Conton City once their story or Advancement Test requirement is met: Krillin by Orange Star High School, Whis at the shrine at the end of the Bamboo Forest, Beerus on the school roof, Hit at the World Martial Arts Tournament arena, and so on. Below is every instructor's location and unlock condition, grouped in the order they appear.

We checked locations and unlock conditions against the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Fandom wiki's Mentors page and individual character pages, CriticalHit's mentor location guide and GamersHeroes' DLC instructor guide in November 2026. Where those sources place a mentor differently, we say so.

How Instructors Work

Talk to any unlocked mentor and choose "Be my instructor" to make them your teacher. Your instructor then joins you as a partner in Challenge Quests, comments on your results, and sometimes drops into Parallel Quests to help when your health is low. Each mentor also offers four training missions that teach unique skills, and you can take those missions from any mentor whether or not they are your current instructor.

Friendship is the long-term system. You raise it by going on quests with that mentor as your instructor, talking to them when you return to Conton City, and wearing certain costumes. Maxing friendship grants a DUAL Ultimate Attack with that mentor and opens a Partner Gauge that makes the dual attack stronger as it fills. To check progress, open the Lobby Menu, select Play Data and then Instructor Information.

Friendship also gates several transformations. Whis hands out Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan at max friendship and level 90, and Beast requires max friendship with both Gohan and Videl and Piccolo. Our Xenoverse 2 transformations guide lists every form that depends on a mentor.

Starter Instructors Near the Time Nest and School

Four mentors unlock after the first story mission, "Make Way, Rookie Time Patroller Here!", in the Raditz arc. They are all close to the center of the city, so new characters can find them quickly.

• Krillin: by Orange Star High School, the academy building. His missions teach Destructo-Disc and Scatter Kamehameha. If you start a Challenge Quest without picking anyone, Elder Kai defaults you to Krillin.
• Tien: just in front of the Mushroom District. Teaches Dodon Ray, Tri-Beam and Neo Tri-Beam.
• Yamcha: beyond the Time Nest, on the stairs up to the World Tournament arena. Teaches Wolf Fang Fist and Spirit Ball.
• Piccolo: right next to the entrance of the Time Vault in the Time Nest. Teaches Light Grenade and Special Beam Cannon.

Mid-Story Instructors in the Namekian Area and Beyond

The next groups open as you progress through the Saiyan, Namek, Frieza and Android arcs, and some also need an Advancement Test at the Patroller Academy.

• Raditz (after "Careful Vegeta! - Dodoria in Pursuit"): between the Time Machine Station and the stairs to the Time Nest.
• Kid Gohan (same requirement): near the Bamboo Forest entrance, according to CriticalHit.
• Nappa (same requirement): behind the Parallel Quest desk, according to CriticalHit.
• Vegeta (same requirement): on the grassland near the Mushroom District. His missions teach Galick Gun and Final Flash.
• Zarbon (after "The Final Battle! - Two Powers Fade"): the Fandom wiki puts him on a hill near the Mushroom District, while CriticalHit's older guide places him above the Namekian area.
• Dodoria (same story point): defeat him in Conton City first, then find him on top of a hill in the Namekian area.
• Captain Ginyu (same story point): in the Namekian area, almost opposite Dodoria.
• Frieza (plus the Easy Class Advancement Test): the wiki says the top left mountain of the Ajisa District, and CriticalHit says above the Namekian area.
• Cooler (plus the Easy Class test): opposite his brother in the Namekian area. GamersHeroes notes his trial asks you to land Feint Crash before beating him.
• Android 18 (after "Trunks: The Last Fighter" and the Intermediate Class test): between the business district and the main shopping area.
• Android 16 (same requirements): southeast of the Time Machine Station near the trees.
• Perfect Cell (same requirements): at the top of the map in the Mushroom District.
• Lord Slug (same requirements): on the ramp down to the waterfall.

The Namekian area is the busiest cluster, with Dodoria, Ginyu, Frieza and Cooler all within a short flight of each other, so it is worth visiting that corner first whenever a new batch unlocks. The Mushroom District is the second hub, holding Tien at its edge plus Vegeta, Zarbon and Perfect Cell nearby, and later Broly. If a mentor seems missing, check the Advancement Test requirement first: the Easy, Intermediate, Advanced, Kai and God Class tests at the Patroller Academy gate most of these unlocks, not just the story.

Late-Game Instructors

The final base-game mentors appear after the Majin Buu and God of Destruction arcs and the higher Advancement Tests. Several have extra conditions such as a fight or a gesture.

• Majin Buu (after "The Pudding Problem - Beerus's Fury" and the Advanced Class test): near the Accessory Shop.
• Hercule (same, plus applauding in front of him): the wiki says near the fountain, and CriticalHit says near the clothing and Timespace delivery shops.
• Gohan and Videl (after "God of Destruction's Anger", the Advanced Class test and all of Great Saiyaman's Time Miniature quests): in the courtyard of Orange Star High School.
• Gotenks (after "The Pudding Problem" and level 40): on top of a building in the main city.
• Turles (Advanced Class test): above the waterfall in the northeast.
• Broly (Kai Class test, then defeat him in Conton City): on one of the mushrooms in the Mushroom District.
• Beerus (Kai Class test): on the roof of Orange Star High School.
• Whis (God Class test): at the shrine at the end of the Bamboo Forest District.
• Pan (after "Time to Train! - Whis's Whimsy" and the God Class test): in the main city near the bridge in the middle.
• Jaco (same requirements): north of the fountain.
• Goku (after "Final Battle! Re-Righting History"): past the Bamboo Forest, before the fish-roasting spot, according to CriticalHit.
• Future Gohan (after "Resolute Trunks - History Is Born"): near the waterfall and pond. GamersHeroes notes you need to land Super Explosive Wave before beating him.
• Bardock (after "Saiyan Pride through the Ages!"): northwest, just under Guru's House on the cliffside.

The wiki adds that on PS4 and Xbox, Future Gohan and Bardock also require the Masters Pack download, so check that it is installed if they do not appear.

DLC Instructors: Hit, Bojack and Zamasu

Three mentors come from paid packs. Each one has an unusual unlock rather than a simple story flag.

• Hit (Super Pack 1, God Class test): at the World Martial Arts Tournament arena. His training uses the Time Skip moves, including Time Skip/Flash Skewer and Time Skip/Jump Spike.
• Bojack (Super Pack 3): unlocked by collecting all of Bujin, Bido and Bojack's outfits. GamersHeroes counts eight clothing pieces from the TP Medal Shop for 390 TP Medals in total. Neither source gives a fixed standing spot we could confirm, so check the Conton City map once the outfits are owned.
• Zamasu (Extra Pack 1): a short way north of the Dragon Ball pedestal, standing on a lone hill. He is the only mentor whose training rewards include a Super Soul, "I'm thinking about becoming a God-Tuber."

Other Teachers Worth Finding

Not every useful trainer is on the mentor list. Jiren (Full Power) waits behind the Multiplayer Mode NPC under the steps to the Time Nest, and beating his challenge teaches your character Ultra Instinct. Guru, in the Guru's House time rift, raises your attribute and level caps and adds Shenron wishes after the Defend Planet Namek questline, which our guide to every Xenoverse 2 wish breaks down.

Mentors also show up in group content. Raid bosses often include former mentors such as Hit, Bojack and Beerus, so the skills you learn here carry straight into our Xenoverse 2 raid rewards guide. And when you need extra drops from mentor-related Parallel Quests, the hidden conditions guide explains how to trigger each Ultimate Finish.

Tips for Raising Friendship Faster

1. Pick the mentor you want to max as your instructor before running Parallel Quests, since quests with them count toward friendship.
2. Talk to them every time you return to Conton City; the wiki lists conversation as one of the ways the bar rises.
3. Wear the costumes they react to. Mentors comment on your outfit and certain costumes add friendship.
4. Finish all four training missions early, because the rewards are available from any mentor and you will want the skills regardless.
5. Once maxed, keep using the DUAL Ultimate in fights with them to fill the Partner Gauge.

Want Every Mentor Already Leveled?

Maxing 33 instructors across several characters is one of the longest grinds in Xenoverse 2. The store's God Mode CaC modded save lists custom mentors leveled up, all skills and all eight CaCs at Level 199, along with Tokipedia complete. It is made for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, you must already own the game, and there is no PC or Xbox version.

See the Xenoverse 2 section of the store for its other listings, including the Platinum trophy service.
