Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Potara List?

Post by Gyt Kaliba » Thu Feb 21, 2013 2:25 pm

I've been playing some more on this game (the PS2) version again lately, and I've noticed at last that I've just about gotten every available item from Lunch in the 'store' - I think all I've got left is the 'Aura Change (Pink)' to buy. I'm currently only at a 97% completion rating though. I've poked around on GameFAQs and IGN both, and can't seem to find a good, comprehensive list of each and every potara in the game and how to get them. So does anyone know of one, or have a pretty good idea of what ones I might be missing?

For reference's sake, I've completed the story mode on every difficulty option, won every kind of tournament there is, completed the Sim Dragon mode at least once, cleared all Mission 100 stages, and made every wish possible with each set of Dragon Balls. The only things off the top of my head that I can think of that I might not have done that may get me something, is clearing the Survival modes, and doing whatever it is you can do with the Disc Fusion stuff.

I was able to find the missing Potaras I needed online a couple years ago. Shouldn't there be question marks for your missing ones? I have 100%, so if you tell me, I can share with you. Doesn't hurt that I'm doing all the intros and outros for every character either :thumbup:

Did this a couple years ago.

So far as a comparison to what you already have, it should suit your purposes just fine. (My overwhelming flaw with the guide is that I took the time to list all the Potara and their individual effects without explaining HOW to get each one; if I'd done that, it would be perfect one-stop-shop.) Once you determine which specific Potara you might be missing, simply ask and I'm sure that me or someone else will be perfectly willing to jump in with details concerning how to obtain them.

For my part, this was (and still is) my favorite DBZ game for PS2, so I spent an obsessive amount of time with it. I remember basically everything.

A routine search reveals a smaller (unrelated) guide to the pros/cons of Wild Sense, Afterimage and Afterimage Strike. Gosh, how many of these BT3 guides did I do...

Guide to B1 and B2 defensive explosions.

Rocketman's B1 Guide is especially handy because the game doesn't make much attempt to explain the specific effects of each. Part 1 and Part 2.

Darnit, that was a rockin' thread. Those were good times. >_<

I feel like a heel, I completely forgot to post again here after looking through those guides. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for those guides you linked Lemmy, I was able to figure out what my missing potara were thanks to that, and after that it was easy enough to figure out what I needed to do to get them.

What it turned out being was that I really was just missing three potara, if I remember right. I bought that Aura Change (Pink) one, then went in and beat the first Survival mode thing, and that gave me another one (I forget it's name), and then randomly a new and final item appeared in the shop - 'Launch's Will' or something like that. So I fought in a few more tournaments and managed to get the zeni to buy that, and the game is now 100%-ed!

Now I just have to go backwards through the rest of my games and see about 100%-ing some of them too. :mrgreen:

There were question marks, yeah, but it didn't tell me what those missing ones were - though it didn't occur to me until later that I could have listed what was above those blanked out ones and probably gotten my answer that way. ^_^;
