How to unlock every Awoken skill in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2?
To unlock every awakening in Xenoverse 2, you have to complete the Time Rift side quests present at all five locations in Conton City. There is one time rift each at Capsule Corporation, Hercules House, Guru’s House, Majin Buu’s House, and Frieza’s spaceship.
You can refer to the walkthrough for obtaining your racial transformation below.
1. Super Saiyan Awakening
Super Saiyan transformation can be obtained by choosing the Saiyan race during Character Creation and heading over to Capsule Corporation after finishing Saiyan Saga in story mode.
Prove your strength to Vegeta when he challenges you to a fight. A green question mark will pop up over the Capsule Corp building to notify you regarding this event. Once you defeat him, he will challenge you once again and during one of your fights, mock you for being unable to unleash your true potential.
Talk to Bulma and Trunks after this fight. Vegeta will take you to the Super Saiyan level after you talk with them. However, this is not the only transformation you will obtain. He will challenge you again and you will receive Super Vegeta Awakening as well.
2. Nimbus (Human Awakening)
Choose Earthling as your race in the beginning of the game and head over to the time rift in Hercule’s House to obtain Nimbus. Nimbus awakening grants you access to the flying cloud, Nimbus, and Power Pole ability.
Complete all the tasks given by the Great Saiyaman and the Great Saiyawoman at Hercule’s House. Start this quest as early as possible in the game, since the frequency of these tasks is quite low.
3. Super Namekian Awakening
Super Namekian Awakening can be unlocked by choosing Namekian as your race and completing the time rift side quest at Guru’s House at level 35.
Your task is to protect Dragon Balls at Guru’s House by defeating a certain number of characters and retrieving the required number of Dragon Balls before the time limit runs out.
Try to collect them within the time limit or else you will be tasked with collecting Dragon Balls on Frieza’s Ship, which is a much more difficult task. Once you finish this task, you will unlock this transformation.
4. Kid Buu Awakening
To achieve this awakening, you must belong to the Majin race as well as complete the time rift side quest at Buu’s House.
Feed Majin Buu enough food items till he has a family of five kids. You will unlock the Kid Buu transformation, which allows you to override your moves and stats while depleting your stats.
5. Golden Frieza Awakening
Golden Frieza transformation can be obtained by choosing Frieza as your character’s race and completing the side quest of the time rift located at Frieza’s Spaceship.
You need to gain access to Frieza’s Spaceship first, you must hand over a medium mix capsule to Appule. After doing so, you will be able to do the awoken skill quest.
Join Frieza’s ranks and complete the missions his subordinates give you. Finish off Zarbon first, and then deal with Ginyu. After doing this, you will work under Frieza and receive orders directly from him. Eventually, Cooler will appear and ask you to beat Frieza in his final form. You will get the transformation after defeating him.
6. Kaioken Awakening
Kaioken Awakening is a potential drop from Parallel Quest 8 ‘Invade Earth’. You have to acquire the ultimate finish requirement by keeping Nappa alive during the mission and defeating Kaioken Goku.
Kaioken is the awakening that costs the least Ki. You can use this awoken skill at the cost of even 1 ki.
7. Potential Unleashed Awakening
