You'll have to work your way through the first few missions and clear five different NBA games before your "Welcome to the League" mission starts this and many other main missions.

The good news, if you struggled with any of these early challenges, is that there appears to be no penalty for mistakes or failed attempts.

You simply have to keep trying until you get things right, and some of the later rap challenges even keep it simple, just asking questions you got wrong on subsequent attempts.

You will also often be blocked from progressing in other missions such as Palace Intrigue as you will need to advance to the next stage to play your next NBA game to advance in It's a Cole World.

Now let's break down each main step in It's a Cole Worldin townand the answers you need to get through each stage.

Fale com Marvin Castleberry no Erick's Vinyl sobre PhD Monk

This is your first and easiest challenge when you go to Erick's Vinyl and try something onMusical trivia, as they become so frequent in NBA 2K22.

Here are the correct answers to your three questions, in order:

  • Lizzo
  • Queen
  • they remind you of

Again, you can repeat these if you get one wrong the first time, but keep this guide handy as you'll still be on a timer with each answer.

Go to the place on the map where the rappers are located

Fortunately, it's not hard to find any of the locations throughout this quest, as they will always be easily marked on your map.

When you reach the group of rappers, you'll be involved in a multiverse rap battle, and these are the answers you'll have to come up with:

  • I have block defense so try not to go mental
  • Make sure I'm with the extra, I'm eurostep and flexer
  • I'll break your ankles and probably fix that mole on your foot
  • You don't have a lift pass, you're not supposed to ski here
  • End your career, throw a party with your own money
  • I hear you've been sleeping on top of me with your stuffed Piggie Smalls?

When you have delivered them all correctly, you have impressed the group and canmove forward with this mission MyCAREER.

Go to Rita's house and ask about the PhD Monk & Talk to whoever you meet about the PhD Monk

These two tasks go hand in hand, as upon arrival at Rita's house you are asked to "talk to who", and there is only one person you can talk to.

This will trigger another impromptu rap battle, and these are the answers you'll have to come up with this time:

  • Got some shine now, you think it's hotter than ovens
  • You are not the type that these other acts idolize
  • And if you jump, you're doo doo, I'm picking up shit
  • I hope it doesn't rain since I collapsed the roof
  • I pull you up in the face like I know your addy
  • I know you've seen me skate, I've got nothing but tires

Once you've said all that, it will be revealed that PhD Monk has been watching the whole time and you'll move on to the next level.

Go to Dreamer Court to record sounds for PhD Monk

This is the first big step in this task that does not contain a series of answers, but is still quite challenging.

When you reach the Dreamer Court, you'll suddenly find yourself in a 3v3 game with J. Cole on your team.

You must first reach 21 and secure a win to continue, and a loss will not allow you to continue.

The good thing is that you will earn XP and VC and other rewards whether you win or lose, so no attempt will be without gain.

Bring the sounds you recorded back to PhD Monk

After completing the game, follow the next quest marker and meet the PhD Monk.

The following is the most challenging sequence of the entire mission, as you must get all 12 of these answers correct:

  • Anytime, anywhere. As soon as I harden the leather
  • As your kindergarten teacher, I'm giving away L's for free
  • And I take the stone as it is in that man's purse
  • Crazy how he ran into the wall of shame
  • And don't mumble, it's a concrete jungle
  • I call an iso, then I cover
  • Get off a free throw, take durag
  • Cross over, turn half a turn, hit them with the jump shot
  • How are you going to stop it, uh, how do you get over it?
  • 2K, who are you dealing with? You know I'm a wild one
  • The stone is not safe, I will take the money from your dresser
  • You know who I am, I'm a national treasure

This is one of those challenges where the replays will just prompt you for something you failed, so at least it will save you some time if you stumble.

Meet Bas in Dreamville

Finally, there is just one more music challenge you can take on when you meet Bas iDreamville studio in the city.

This sequence is quite similar to PhD Monks, although a bit shorter, and here are the answers you have to give:

  • Leave them frozen when I pull the jumper
  • It's the playoffs, are you playing? you beginners
  • My arm on the edge softly looks down
  • Like the afro of Dr. J, you explode
  • "Smile for the camera" quietly? Yes No doubt
  • That feeling of rolling down the window during flight... NEXT!

Once you've completed this, breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the hardest parts of It's a Cole World have been completed.

Final It's a Cole World Quest Objektivos

From now on, your challenges will not be as difficult or extensive, and there are no others where you need more correct answers to proceed.

Instead, you'll mostly have scenes and tasks where you have to play your next NBA game to advance to the next goal.
