Jiren’s Branching Path in Dragon Ball Sparking ZERO

To unlock Jiren’s Branching Path, players need to have successfully finished Goku’s Episode Battle mode as a prerequisite. While it’s possible to experience Goku’s branching storylines post-completion of these battles, Jiren only becomes accessible once players have completed the mission titled “Goku’s Strength”.

Dubbed “True Strength“, Jiren’s path is best pursued after completing his main campaign first. While progressing through the campaign, make sure to get involved during the dialogue segment in the “Saiyan Rampage”episode and defeat Kale when she transforms into the Legendary Super Saiyan. It’s crucial to eliminate all foes swiftly.

After this, replay the Saiyan Rampage episode but this time refrain from intervening during the dialogue. This change will trigger a series of endurance battles. For the Branching Path to progress, Jiren must first confront Master Roshi; this won’t just be a fight, as Roshi will share meaningful insights with him.

This wisdom will greatly aid Jiren as he navigates the Ultimate Climactic Battle with enhanced efficiency. Completing this battle leads to Jiren expressing a desire for the restoration of all erased universes. This wish is fulfilled, granting Jiren 100,000 Zeni, The Jiren’s Saga True Strength photo collection, and one usage of the Super Dragon Ball. With that, Jiren’s Branching Path concludes.
