Expert Missions in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Expert Missions are six-player co-op superboss fights accessed through purple energy rifts in Conton City. They unlock after the Cell Saga when the Supreme Kai of Time assigns tutorials EM 1 and 2. Each cleared mission spawns the next rift until all twenty are available—after EM 9, completed missions consolidate into one hub rift at the Time Machine Station for easy replay.

Rewards include large Zeni payouts, TP Medals (from EM 3 onward), experience, Demon Realm Crystals for Crystal Raids, and RNG skill drops. EM 16 and 17 became the community standard for TP Medal farming thanks to short timers and sixteen medals per clear.

Expert bosses share raid attack pools: Brainwash Attack imprisons players in a dark realm fighting clones; Scatter Blast spawns ki crystals that explode if not destroyed; Gigantic Ki Blasts require deflection with Photon Swipe or Darkness Eye Beam; Peeler Storm creates cutting rings countered by Drain Field or super armor ultimates; Marbling Drop launches tracking orbs punished by Shadow Crusher timing.

Offline play uses CPU allies who spam unreliable evasives—build for self-sufficiency. Online six-player teams trivialize early EMs but later ones still demand coordinated revives. See Beat Expert Missions guide for loadouts.

See TP Medals guide for farming loops and Expert Missions map in Conton City for rift locations before the hub consolidation.

Clear Expert Missions sequentially—EM 10 and beyond introduce stacked mechanics combining Brainwash with Scatter Blast. EM 15 Extreme Malice filters players without optimized builds—expect multiple attempts offline. EM 16 onward becomes farm content once poison and super armor strategies click.

Demon Realm Crystal drops begin after tutorial missions—stockpile for Super Mix Capsule Z crafting and Crystal Raid entries. EM 18 Broly drops more crystals per minute than earlier missions when poison strategies are mastered. EM 19 and 20 spike difficulty for players chasing completion badges and rare skill drops.

Hub consolidation after EM 9 places all cleared missions in one Time Machine Station rift—use this for efficient TP Medal loops without flying across Conton City.

First clear of each EM unlocks permanent hub access after consolidation—no need to revisit scattered rifts. EM difficulty does not scale down offline—CPU allies remain unreliable at all tiers. Demon Realm Crystal economy ties into endgame crafting loops beyond EMs themselves.

Additional Xenoverse 2 context for this topic: Parallel Quests remain the backbone of skill and Dragon Ball acquisition even in 2026 with Future Saga content live. Expert Missions 16 through 18 still anchor TP Medal economy for Tosok leveling and weekend shop purchases. Conton City layout places critical NPCs away from spawn—use Conton City map page before hunting mentors or rifts. Time Patroller fashion and emotes do not affect combat outcomes but improve hub navigation enjoyment during long farms. Account-wide unlocks mean alt characters inherit PQ completion and skill libraries—leverage alts for racial exclusives without repeating entire story on each slot unless desired for narrative replay.
