Nappa Not Showing Up - Saiyan Power in DBZ Kakarot

Nappa is one of the first bosses you’ll fight in Dragon Ball Z Kakarot. After you’ve defeated him, you’ll get a chance to revive him using a wish you obtain from collecting the seven Dragon Balls. After you resurrect him, Nappa will appear in the Central Plains Area with a new side quest for you, called Saiyan Power. However, a lot of folks can’t seem to find him. They go to the spot marked on the map, and he isn’t there. Luckily, it’s a bug that’s easy to fix. This guide is going to show you how to solve Nappa not showing up for Saiyan Power in DBZ Kakarot.

Where is Nappa after you revive him?

Nappa’s side quest will appear on the map in the Central Plains Area, but if you go there, you’ll just find two random enemies standing about, with no sign of the man himself. This will obviously prevent you from completing the side quest, which is highly undesirable. Especially if you’re after his soul emblem, because this is the only way to get it. This bug doesn’t happen 100% of the time, but if it happens to you, here’s how to solve it.

Open up the map and look around. If you’ve cleared all the villainous enemies in the area, there should be one more – a level 50 fight against Vegeta, Raditz and Nappa. You’ll need to defeat them first, then leave the area and come back. If you haven’t unlocked this fight yet, Nappa should appear normally.

Make sure you switch to Gohan when talking to Nappa, or else the quest won’t start. He specifically mentions “Goku’s brat” defeating him, which is a hint pointing you towards the fact that you should come as Gohan. You can then convince him to fight you, to prove he’s stronger, and if you win, you get his soul emblem.
