Double Pack's version as well.

1.  Introduction
###############################################################################

Thank you for choosing to read my Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards FAQ.  I hope this
guide gives you some assistance in completing this game.  I've written Duelist
Strategies, a comprehensive Walkthrough, Hints and Tips, and much more.  Beware
of the spoilers, though.

The Sacred Cards is one of my favourite video games.  The game has a free-
roaming Story Mode, which is based on the Battle City arc of the anime.  It has
a decent story, character interaction, difficulty curve and pacing.  This game
marks the first time that the Egyptian God Cards are playable (not counting
Duel Monsters 4, which was only released in Japan), athough The Winged Dragon
of Ra can't be used without a cheat device.

3.  Story
###############################################################################

As one of Yugi and Joey's closest friends and a fellow duelist, you have
joined the Battle City tournament sponsored by the Kaiba Corporation.  As the
game begins, Seto Kaiba gives you a brief introduction to the Battle City
tournament and explains the rules.

However in the shadows, the evil rare hunter Ghouls are plotting to collect the
ultimate rare cards, namely the Egyptian God Cards.  Your goal is to take down
the Ghouls and obtain six Locator Cards in order to qualify for the finals of
the Battle City tournament.

###############################################################################
4.  Characters
###############################################################################

Main Character

and Joey.  The three of you join the Battle City tournament sponsored by Kaiba
Corporation, without knowing what is really in store for you...

When Yugi solved the Millennium Puzzle, he gained dark and mysterious powers.
He's got a big heart and is always genuine in his efforts to help others.

gold.  He's short-tempered and extremely protective of his friends.  He is
also one of Yugi's most trusted partners.

best when they're dueling opponents.  He has a crush on Joey's sister
Serenity.

Ryou Bakura

boy, but he is often controlled against his will by the evil spirit of the
Millennium Ring.

Solomon Muto
------------
Solomon is Yugi's grandfather.  Although he doesn't duel anymore, Solomon owns
a card shop and sells cards to duelists at ridiculously high prices.  Since
there is another card shop, Solomon doesn't sell cards in this game.  He does
sell them in Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, though.

Seto Kaiba
----------
Seto is the President of his own multi-national gaming company, Kaiba
Corporation.  He wants to become the world's greatest duelist, but Yugi has
defeated him on many occasions.  In this game, Seto plans to obtain the three
Egyptian God Cards and defeat Yugi to become the Duel King.  To do so, he
organizes the Battle City tournament.

Mokuba Kaiba
------------
Mokuba idolises his big brother Seto, as Seto was his only friend when they
grew up in an orphanage.  After they were adopted by the notorious Gozaboro
Kaiba, the two brothers eventually turned the tables on Gozaboro and took over
the Kaiba Corporation.

Rex Raptor

opponent's hand.

of his Insect Monsters, most notably Insect Queen and Perfectly Ultimate Great
Moth, to win duels.

duelist Kingdom tournament.  She specialises in using her Harpie cards to win
duels.

Legendary Fisherman and Fortress Whale, to defeat his opponents.  Mako entered
the Battle City tournament to spend the prize money on a boat in order to find
his missing father.

Ghouls
------
The Ghouls are a secret group of hunters who steal rare cards from other
duelists.  Operating undercover around the world, they have now managed to
sneak into the Battle City tournament.  Whatever it is they're planning, you
can be sure they're up to no good...

Marik Ishtar
------------
The heir to a clan of tombkeepers, Marik is the leader of the Ghouls and the
villain of this game.  He desires the three Egyptian God Cards and the
Millennium Puzzle in order to rule the world as Pharaoh.  Marik's Millennium

joined the Ghouls to get his revenge.

accept his marriage proposal if he defeats her in a duel.

Ishizu Ishtar
-------------
Ishizu is the owner of the Millennium Necklace, priestess and guardian of the
Pharaoh's Memory, and seer who predicts the coming darkness.  After Ishizu
hid the three Egyptian God Cards, her brother Marik recovered two of them,
and Ishizu decided to entrust the final God Card to one of the chosen
duelists.

Roland

Roland is an employee of the Kaiba Corporation.  When the Battle City Finals
take place, Roland announces the matches after the gumball machine randomly
selects two duelists as opponents.

Yami Bakura
-----------
Yami Bakura is the evil spirit of the Millennium Ring.  He desires the seven
Millennium Items in order to obtain the "world's greatest power".  He entered
the Battle City tournament to take Yugi's Millennium Puzzle and Marik's
Millennium Rod.

Odion
-----
Odion has dedicated his life to protect his master Marik Ishtar.  Odion agrees
to pretend to be the real Marik to dupe the other Battle City Finalists, so
Marik can gain their trust under the guise of Namu.

Yami Marik
----------
The sadistic alter ego of Marik Ishtar, he is an entity that was created when

===============================================================================
                       5.02 - Field Screen
===============================================================================

When you are progressing through the game, you'll be walking around the map of
Domino City.  At first, you'll only be able to access 'Clock Tower Square',
'Card Shop' and 'Art Gallery', but as you complete chapters, you'll unlock new
districts.  Before a duel begins, you can choose whether to bet an Ante Card.
If you win the duel, you'll receive your opponent's card as a prize.  However,
if you lose, the opponent keeps your card.  When you lose a duel, you are
returned home, but anything received before the duel will be retained.

Duelist Menu
------------
If you want to see the Duelist Menu, press Start or Select Buttons.  There are
3 options (Status, Trunk, and Deck) to choose from. 'Status' lists your Name,
Duelist Level, Locator Cards and Money. 'Trunk' lists the cards that aren't in
your deck. 'Deck' lists your dueling cards and indicates how much Deck Capacity
they're using up.

Save Point
----------
If you want to save your progress, go to the Main Character's House and access
the computer.  You'll be asked if you want to save.  Select 'Yes' to save your
game.  Note that game data is not saved automatically, so you must save at this
Save Point repeatedly to record it.

Card Shop
---------
If you want to buy or sell cards, go to the Card Shop.  Note that you cannot
sell a card when you only have one copy in your Trunk.  The more powerful the
card, the higher the price.  Each time you win a duel, dozens of cards are
delivered to the shop at random.  If you input the eight digit password located
on the bottom left of a real-life card into the Password Machine, the shop will
obtain 1 copy of that card.  Use the +Control Pad to select the numbers.  To
make a correction, press L to move the input cursor 1 space left, and R to move
it 1 space right.  When you're finished, select "OK" to confirm.  Each password
can be used to supply a card unlimited times.  When you are buying or selling
cards, you can press the Start Button to see the Change Card Order menu.  The
card list can be sorted by Number, Name, Stars, ATK, DEF, Price, Type, Summon,
and Cost.

===============================================================================
                       5.03 - Format
===============================================================================

The mechanics of this game are a much simplified version of the OCG/TCG rules.
This game plays differently from the OCG/TCG, because it is based on the
prototype rules that were originally being considered when the card game was
first being transferred over from the manga.  The need for Polymerization to
perform Fusion Summons is eliminated.  Ritual Magic Cards require specific
tributes (for example, if you activate Black Illusion Ritual, a Dark-Eyes
Illusionist is needed).  The effects of most cards are different (eg. Jinzo
destroys traps rather than negating them).  Some Effect Monsters are treated as
Normals or vice versa (eg. Cyber Jar and Mystical Elf).

Some types of cards are different (eg. Spellbinding Circle and Crush Card are
magic).  You can't fuse most monsters, so Fusion Monsters are treated as Normal
/Effect Monsters.  For example, Flame Swordsman is an Effect Monster.  However,
if a special ability allows it, you can still fuse certain monsters.  For
instance, the abilities of Alpha, Beta and Gamma allow the monsters to combine
with each other to form Valkyrion the Magna Warrior.

The Petit Moth line are unique, as they aren't treated as Effect Monsters, but
they will evolve into their later stages of evolution at the start of each of
the player's turns.

After a Equip Spell is equipped to a monster, the equip card doesn't stay
face-up on the field.  The card instead disappears and the monster permanently
gains 500 ATK.

There's no Fusion Deck nor a banished zone.

===============================================================================
                       5.04 - Card Types
===============================================================================

Cards are divided into 5 types in this game.  Green-coloured cards are magic,
while purple cards are traps.  The other 3 colours are monsters.  Those colours
are: Yellow (Normal), orange (Effect) and blue (Ritual).  Oddly enough, The
Winged Dragon of Ra and Obelisk the Tormentor are yellow and blue-coloured,
respectively, for some reason.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Monster Cards
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Monster Cards are used to attack your opponent or his/her monsters, and defend
yourself.  The parameters of a monster are its Type, Summon, Level, ATK, and
DEF.  Each monster has a set Level (Star) which indicates how many monsters
must be sacrificed for that monster.  5-6 Star monsters require one sacrifice,
7-8 two and 9-12 three.

Once per turn, you can summon a monster from your hand to the field.  This is
called a "Normal Summon".  Summoning a monster onto the field via a magic/
monster effect is called a "Special Summon".  This can be done unlimited times
per turn.  When you want to Normal Summon a 5-Star or higher monster, you must
send a monster from the field to the graveyard as a sacrifice.  This is called
a "Tribute Summon".

There are 20 Types of Monster Cards.  There are cards that only affect monsters
of a certain Type.  Type affects the ATK/DEF of a monster in different types of
playing fields (similar to the field power bonus in the Duelist Kingdom story
arc of the anime).  For example, Spellcasters benefit from the Yami field (eg.
2000 > 2600 ATK), while Fairies are at a disadvantage on the same field (eg.
1700 > 1190 ATK).  Arenas and Reptiles are exempt from this rule.  By default,
there is always a terrain active on the field.  Only one terrain can be in play
on the field at one time.  If another terrain is played, its effect is
activated immediately and the previous terrain is removed from the field.

TERRAIN CHART

______________________________________________________________________________
| Terrain       | Advantage                           | Disadvantage          |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Forest        | Plant, beast warrior, insect, beast | n/a                   |
| Wasteland     | Zombie, dinosaur, rock              | n/a                   |
| Mountain      | Dragon, winged beast, thunder       | n/a                   |

| Arena         | N/A                                 | n/a                   |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

There are 11 alignments of Monster Cards called Summons in this game (not to be
confused with Normal, Special, Ritual and Tribute Summoning). Most Summons are
superior/inferior to others and can affect the outcome of a duel (similar to
the Attribute advantage/disadvantage rule in the Duelist Kingdom arc).  When a
monster with a superior Summon attacks one with an inferior Summon (or a
monster with an inferior Summon attacks one with a superior Summon), the
monster with the superior Summon will always win, regardless of ATK and DEF
strengths.  For example, when a Kuriboh battles a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the
Kuriboh will win, even though Kuriboh is a weak monster.  Divine is the only
Summon which is exempt from this rule.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

There are 3 types of Monster Cards (Normal, Effect, and Ritual) in the game.

Normal Monsters
---------------
These are basic monsters.  They have no special abilities, but there are many
with high ATK and DEF. 'Vorse Raider' and 'Millennium Shield' are examples.

Effect Monsters
---------------
These Monster Cards are Effect types.  You can summon these monsters the same
way you summon Normal types.  They have special abilities.  The abilities of
Effect Monsters can only be activated once.  'Mammoth graveyard' and 'Mystical
Elf' are examples.  Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and The
Winged Dragon of Ra are immune to the abilities of Effect Monsters (with the
exception of ones that immobilize monsters or decrease/increase their ATK/DEF).

Ritual Monsters
---------------
These Monster Cards can be summoned in two ways.  One way is to use the
appropriate Ritual Magic Card and monsters in order to summon Ritual Monsters.
Many of these monsters are Divine-Summon and have high ATK/DEF.  When the
specific monster indicated on the Ritual Card, the Ritual Card itself and two
other monsters are on the field, sacrifice those two monsters and then activate
the Ritual Card to perform the ritual.  Afterwards, the specific monster will
be replaced with the Ritual Monster.  This is called a "Ritual Summon". 'Black
Luster Ritual' and 'Dark Magic Ritual' are examples of Ritual Magic.
Alternatively, you could put a Ritual Monster in your deck and summon it like
any other monster, but most Ritual Monsters have a Duelist Level of 255, so you
probably won't to be able to do this for some time. 'Black Luster Soldier' and
'Magician of Black Chaos' are examples of Ritual Monsters.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Magic Cards
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

There are four types of Magic Cards: Normal, field, Equip, and Ritual.  You can
only play Magic Cards during your turn.  Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Sky
Dragon, and The Winged Dragon of Ra are immune to the effects of magic (with
the exception of ones that immobilize monsters or decrease/increase their ATK/
DEF).

Normal
------
These cards provide a variety of effects, such as restoring your own Life
Points or destroying all the monsters on your opponent's field. 'Pot of Greed'
and 'Raigeki' are examples.

field
-----
These cards are used to change the terrain of the playing field. 'Umi' and
'Yami' are examples.

Equip
-----
These cards increase the ATK/DEF of certain monsters by 500 points.  'Black
Pendant' and 'Dragon Treasure' are examples of Equip Magic.

Ritual
------
These cards can be used to summon Ritual Monsters.  Many of these monsters are
Divine-Summon and have high ATK/DEF.  When the specific monster indicated on
the Ritual Card, the Ritual Card itself and two other monsters are on the
field, sacrifice those two monsters and then activate the Ritual Card to
perform the ritual.  Afterwards, the specific monster will be replaced with the
Ritual Monster.  This is called a "Ritual Summon". 'Black Luster Ritual' and
'Dark Magic Ritual' are examples of Ritual Magic.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Trap Cards
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Trap Cards are used to counter an opponent's actions such as attacking or
summoning.  When an opponent's action meets the conditions of a Trap Card, the
card's effect is automatically activated.  If you have more than one Trap Card
on the field, the card on the far right will be set off first.  If you place
Trap Cards in face-down position, they can be activated during your opponent's
next turn. There are 2 types of Trap Cards: Normal and Counter.  Obelisk the
Tormentor, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and The Winged Dragon of Ra are immune to the
effects of traps (with the exception of ones that immobilize monsters or
decrease their ATK/DEF).

Normal
------
These cards provide a variety of effects, such as immobilizing monsters or
destroying them. 'Infinite Dismissal' and 'Widespread Ruin' are examples of
Normal Traps.

Counter
-------
These chain to certain magic/monsters to negate their activation or effects.
'Anti-Raigeki' and 'Goblin Fan' are examples of Counter Traps.

Deck Building Rules
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

*Your deck must consist of 40 cards.
*You can't use a card with a Cost higher than your own Duelist Level.  For
example, if you have a DL of 100, you can't use Swords of Revealing Light,
since its Cost is 200.
*The total Cost of the 40 cards in your deck cannot exceed your Deck Capacity.
For example, if you have a DC of 3084, the total Cost of your cards cannot
exceed that amount.
*You can have up to 3 copies of the same card in your deck, with the exception
of Semi-Limited and Limited Cards.  You can only have two copies of the former
and one copy of the latter.

===============================================================================
                       5.06 - Duel Rules
===============================================================================

This section explains the duel rules.  These rules differ from the OCG/TCG,
although some rules are similar to ones in the anime and PS1's Forbidden
Memories.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Basic Rules
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Victory Rules
-------------
*The first player to reduce his/her opponent's LP to 0 is the winner.
*If a player holds 4 or less cards in his/her hand and is unable to draw a card
when it is time for him/her to do so because there are 0 cards in the deck,
that player loses.
*When a player holds all 5 Exodia parts in his/her hand, that player wins.
*When a player's Destiny Board and all 4 Spirit Messages are in his/her magic/
trap zone, that player wins.

General Rules
-------------
*Duelists begin with 8000 Life Points each.
*When a duel starts, the attack order is determined randomly.
*Your hand size limit is 5.  At the beginning of each turn, you may draw 1 card
from the deck into your hand.  However, if you hold 5 cards, you can't draw
any more.
*At the beginning of a duel, the starting player is not allowed to attack on
his/her first turn.
*You may discard cards from your hand and field.  However, if a card on the
field has an 'E' mark, it can't be discarded.
*There are no phases (subsections of a turn).  Therefore, you can do actions at
anytime during your turn.
*You can choose where to place a card on the field.  For example, you can
summon a monster on the far right side of the field.

Monster Rules
-------------
*You can only Normal Summon 1 monster to the field per turn.
*You can Special Summon multiple monsters per turn.
*You can place up to 5 monsters on the field per duel.
*You can only give one command to each monster on your field per turn.  For
example, if you activate a monster's ability, you can't attack with the
monster that turn.
*Monsters are always placed on the field in face-down position, regardless of
their attack/defence positions.  Therefore, you can summon a monster in
face-down attack mode.  Cards are flipped to face-up position when you
declare attacks, activate abilities and/or leave them in attack position.
*When you activate a monster's ability, the monster is changed to face-up
attack mode, regardless of its previous position.
*When you summon a monster to the field, it is placed in attack mode.  You
can leave it in that position or change it to defence mode.
*There are no flip effects.
*If monsters have an 'E' mark on the field, you can't change positions,
declare attacks, activate temporary abilities and/or sacrifice with them.

Magic/Trap Rules
----------------
*You can place and use up to 5 magic/traps on the field per turn.
*Magic/traps are placed on the field in face-down position and remain in that
position until they are used.
*You can't decide when to activate a trap's effect.  When an opponent's action
meets the conditions of the card, its effect is automatically set off.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Battle Damage
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Battle Damage means damage to a player or monster that is caused as a result of
battle with a monster.  If there are no monsters on your opponent's field, you
can attack him/her directly.  The attacking monster's ATK is subtracted from
his/her Life Points as damage.  When monsters battle each other, the Battle
Position of the card being attacked changes the result of the battle.  If the
monster being attacked is face-down, it's flipped face-up before damage is
calculated.

When you attack an Attack Position monster:
If (ATK of your monster) > (ATK of opponent's monster), the opponent's monster
is destroyed and he/she is dealt battle damage equal to the difference.  If
(ATK of your monster) = (ATK of opponent's monster), both monsters are
destroyed.  If (ATK of your monster) < (ATK of opponent's monster), the
attacking monster is destroyed and you receive damage equal to the difference.

When you attack a Defence Position monster:
If (ATK of your monster) > (DEF of opponent's monster), the opponent's monster
is destroyed.  If (ATK of your monster) = (DEF of opponent's monster), nothing
happens.  If (ATK of your monster) < (DEF of opponent's monster), you receive
damage equal to the difference.

===============================================================================
                       5.07 - Duel Screen
===============================================================================

This section explains the various areas of the Duel Screen.  When you select a
card, its information will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.  If your
opponent's cards are in face-up position, you'll be able to view their
information as well.

###############################################################################
6.  Hints and Tips
###############################################################################

This section lists hints and tips on how to defeat your opponents.  You can
read the following tips if you want to counter your opponent's duelling
strategy.

*Cards such as Brain Control and Monster Reborn can be used to steal your
opponent's monsters so you can use them as sacrifices to summon your stronger
tribute monsters.

*If your opponent has strong defensive monsters on the field, I advise using
Stop Defence to switch them to attack position, so you can destroy them with
ease.

*Brain Control can take control of your opponent's strongest monster for one
turn and it can also destroy the monster as well.  You can't discard it from
the field, but you can sacrifice it to summon a strong monster.  If you don't
have anything you can summon in your hand, you can still sacrifice your
opponent's monster and it'll be sent straight to the graveyard.

*A lot of opponents specialise in using monsters with specific Summons, so you
can fill your deck with monsters of a superior Summon to destroy them.  This
strategy won't work against duelists with varied Summons, though, as you
probably won't have the right monsters most of the time.

*The Kuriboh/Multiply combo is a good strategy to defeat duelists.  If you have
an Egyptian God Card, Kuriboh, and Multiply in your hand, you're almost
guaranteed to be able to summon your God Card on your next turn.  Summon a
Kuriboh to your field and play Multiply to cover the field with up to 5
Kuribohs.  If you can keep three monsters on the field, you'll be able to
summon your God Card.

*Cards such as Spellbinding Circle and Mammoth graveyard are good for
weakening your opponent's monsters.  Although cards like Shadow Spell, Rocket
Warrior and Red Archery Girl are more powerful, they have a high Deck
Capacity.

*I advise having a lot of monster destruction cards in your deck to deal with
your opponent's monsters.  Beckon to Darkness, Raigeki, Dark Hole, Crush Card,
Bear Trap, Invisible Wire, Acid Trap Hole, Widespread Ruin, Torrential
Tribute, Fiend's Hand, Beastking of the Swamps and Trap Master are examples of
good monster destruction.  I also advise using some monster immobilization
cards to delay an opponent's actions.  Infinite Dismissal, Amazon Archer,
Swords of Revealing Light, Messenger of Peace, Nemuriko and Electric Lizard
are examples of good monster immobilization.

*If you want to gather enough monsters as tribute fodder to summon your strong
monsters, I suggest using the multiplying special abilities of Dorons, Toad
Masters, Ancient Lamps and Revival Jams to help summon them.

*If you want to activate the special abilities of your Effect Monsters again,
I suggest playing Darkness Approaches.  All your monsters will be switched
from face-up to face-down position, thus allowing you to use their special
abilities again.  Relinquished and Thousand-Eyes Restrict are both exceptions,
though, since they adapt to a targeted monster's parameters permanently.

*Try to have a lot of non-tribute monsters in your deck.  Although 5-Star or
higher monsters are stronger, you are required to sacrifice monsters to summon
them.  If you have loads of non-tribute monsters, you'll avoid getting an
opening hand with only tribute monsters.  Therefore, you'll always be able to
summon a monster to the field to defend your Life Points or attack your
opponent's.

*If your opponent places Magic/Trap Cards on the field, I suggest playing
Harpie's Feather Duster to destroy them before he/she can activate them.  The
Magic Card is very useful towards the end of the game, when your opponents
will start playing Magic/Trap Cards on the field as a backup plan.

*If you're having difficulty grinding, I suggest challenging Bonz or Tristan
for easy wins and Deck Capacity.

*I advise saving your game often.  This game doesn't automatically save your
progress, so you must save to record it.  If you lose a rare Ante Card to
someone, you can re-load your last save to get it back.

*If your opponent specialises in using certain monster types, you can use
specific monster destruction cards, such as Eternal Rest and Warrior
Elimination, to destroy them.

*I advise not using Ritual Magic Cards, as they require specific tributes and
it can be difficult gathering enough monsters.  For example, if you activate
Dark Magic Ritual, a Dark Magician is needed.

*If your opponent uses Magic Cards to power his/her monsters, I suggest placing
a Reverse Trap on the field to counter their effects.  If they are used, the
Trap Card will cut the ATK/DEF of the equipped monster.

*If your opponent uses attack spells like Sparks and Tremendous Fire, I suggest
placing a Goblin Fan on the field to counter their effects.  If they are used,
the Trap Card will reflect a direct Life Point attack back at your opponent.
Goblin Fan also works against Effect Monsters, such as Reflect Bounder and
Exarion Universe, that inflict Life Point damage.

*Although attack spells, such as Sparks and Tremendous Fire, can inflict direct
Life Point damage on your opponent, the LP loss is actually meagre.
Restoration spells, such as Goblin's Secret Remedy and Dian Keto the Cure
Master, are much better.  The latter Magic Cards can increase your Life Points
by up to 5,000 in contrast to the former Magic Cards that can only inflict up
to 1,000 direct LP damage on your opponent.

*If you suspect that your opponent has a Trap Card face-down on the field, you
can attack with a weak monster to set it off.  That way, your strong monsters
will be safe from its effect.  Note that this strategy doesn't work against
Torrential Tribute, since the Trap Card can destroy all your monsters instead
of just one.

*I advise not using Exodia or Destiny Board, as their win conditions require
specific cards and you can't search for them.

*If you don't want to spend money purchasing a card at the Card Shop, find out
whether a character has the card in his/her duelling deck.  If a character
does have the card in his/her deck, you may receive it if you bet a rare Ante
Card in a duel.  Note that you may have to duel the character several times
to obtain the card you want.

*Bosses will give you 30 Deck Capacity, while Re-Match Duelists will give you
10 DC (with the exception of Tristan, Duel Computer and Ghouls who each give
5 DC).  Miscellaneous Duelists are normal duelists, i.e. the people who have
no facial expressions and/or don't mention their names.  When you beat these
duelists, you get 5 DC.  The above duelists' DC make the game easy to
complete, since the useful cards have a low DC.  Therefore, you only need to
grind for a bit every now and then to be able to add better cards to your
deck.  You don't need non-tribute monsters with 1500 ATK or more towards the
end of the game, though, as you can finish the game fine without them.

*Duelists will give you money.  Tristan gives 157 Domino, Bonz 400, Espa 640,
Rex 1200, Weevil 2400, Mako 4000, Duel Computer 5000, and Bandit Keith 10000.
The Domino that you receive increases immensely towards the end of the game,
since the later bosses will give you large amounts of cash.  This makes cards
easy to buy, as the useful ones are very cheap.

*If a card isn't on sale in the Card Shop, you can input the card's password
into the Password Machine to obtain it.  That card will then be available to
buy from the shop.

*If you want to replace your opponent's monsters with weak ones, I suggest
adding Parasite Paracide to your deck.  It can latch onto a monster on the
opponent's field.

*If you want to use some strong non-God Card tribute monsters, I suggest
choosing a variety of one-tribute monster types that can take advantage of the
different terrains.  Although two/three-tribute monsters are more powerful
(eg. Gilford the Lightning), it can be hard gathering enough monsters to
sacrifice.  Peacock, Spirit of the Winds, Akihiron and Ansatsu are examples of
good value monsters at the start of the game, as they each have 1700 ATK and
27 Deck Capacity.  Dark Magician Girl, The Earl of Demise, Monstrous Bird,
Garvas and Sea King Dragon are examples of good monsters later on, as they
each have 2000 ATK and 86 DC.

*Whilst Harpie's Feather Duster can destroy all your opponent's magic/traps,
it's a Limited Card, so you may need other trap destruction cards as an
alternative.  Reaper of the Cards is a good value monster, as you can find out
whether the opponent has any traps on the field without attacking and, if so,
destroy 1 trap.  This is useful for eliminating the most destructive trap,
Torrential Tribute.

*Although Final Destiny and Heavy Storm can both destroy all cards from your
opponent's field and/or hand, it is important to note that these magic will do
the same to you as well.  Therefore, they are risky cards to play, so you must
be cautious about their use.

*I recommend having a balanced ratio of 2:1 in monsters versus spells and traps
to make planning strategies easier.

*When you are placing magic/traps on the field, try to only have 1-2 in your
magic/trap zone at a time.  That way, if the opponent uses a Harpie's Feather
Duster, you won't lose a lot of cards.

*If you want to draw another card or two, I advise using Pot of Greed, Goddess
of Whim and Skelengel.  That way, you have a greater chance of getting the
card you want more quickly.

*If you don't mind waiting for the Petit Moth line to evolve into their later
stages of evolution, I recommend adding one or two to your deck, as they can
evolve into the formidable Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth.

*Hourglass of Life can be used to make your monsters much stronger than your
opponent's, especially if you manage to summon 2-3 of them to the field.

*If you place a monster face-down in defence mode, a CPU opponent will always
attack it first.  If the opponent has strong defensive monsters on the field,
you can trick him/her into attacking with them and they'll be left in attack
position.  You can also fool him/her into attacking monsters that are stronger
or have a superior Summon.  This works even if you play Castle of Dark
Illusions or Darkness Approaches to switch cards from face-up to face-down
position.

*If you want to see what cards are in your opponent's hand, I advise using
Monster Eye and The Inexperienced Spy.  As an added bonus, all revealed cards
are changed to face-up position, so he/she can't activate the temporary
effects of Effect Monsters.

*You can play Dark Hole or Heavy Storm in between sacrificing a monster and
doing a Tribute Summon.  They can become practically costless if you have only
a few cards on the field.

*You can use Brain Control or Change of Heart to steal an opponent's monster
and sacrifice it, even if you have no tribute monsters in your hand.

7.  Walkthrough
###############################################################################

If you want to begin a new game, select New Game and you'll be prompted to name
the main character (press Select to switch between 'New Game' and 'Continue' if
you already have a save file).  If you want to continue a game, select Continue
and you'll appear at the Save Point in your house.  Since this walkthrough is
long, I've divided it into 7 chapters for easy navigation.

NOTE1: You'll be asked a variety of questions as you progress through the game.
Many of these are inconsequential and won't affect the progression of the plot.
If you get them wrong, another character will put you right, though.

NOTE2: Check the Boss/Duelist Guide section for notes and strategies on the
major bosses/duelists.

===============================================================================
7.01 - Chapter 1: The Beginning of Battle City
===============================================================================

After you name your character, the game starts inside your house with Yugi and
Joey asking you if you've put together a good deck.  Say "Yes" or "No" (it
doesn't matter).  Then, follow them outside to hear Seto Kaiba's speech.  Seto
explains that the loser must turn over one rare card to the victor and that
each duelist must defeat other duelists to obtain six Locator Cards in order to
qualify for the finals of the Battle City tournament.  The tournament commences
at nine a.m. sharp.

Walk around the areas of Clock Tower Square and try to duel the anime duelists
(Yugi, Bonz, Mai, Mako and Weevil).  They'll all say it's not time yet and walk
away.  Once you've tried to duel all of them, go to the centre of CTS where
there is a clock.  Try to leave this area in any direction and the Battle City
tournament will start.

You're now free to duel as you please and access the Domino City Map.  You
begin with 1600 Deck Capacity and 500 Domino.  Your best bet is to construct a
simple beatdown deck with magic and traps as backup.

At your house, you can use the Save Point to record game progress.  You can
also challenge Tristan outside to practice dueling.  His monsters aren't as
strong as yours, so he should be easy to defeat.  After defeating Tristan a
few times, challenge the Misc. Duelists around the areas of Clock Tower Square
(they use similar monsters to Tristan's).  You can battle the security guard
and Duel Computer at Kaiba Corporation, but I advise ignoring them for a
while, since their monsters have 1200 ATK or less.

In this game, duelists have 3 copies of their non-tribute monsters in their
decks.  Go to the Domino City Map and travel to Art Gallery.  You can't enter
it at the moment, but you can challenge two duelists, including Bakura.

===============================================================================
7.02 - Chapter 2: Obtaining the Locator Cards, Part 1
===============================================================================

When you're ready to start collecting Locator Cards, go to the northeastern
alleyway in Clock Tower Square and beat one of Bonz' friends to be able to
challenge Bonz himself at the cemetery.

After defeating Bonz, you recieve your second Locator Card (you received your
first one at the beginning of the game).  Head for Grandpa's Game Shop and talk
to Joey.  He informs you that he has obtained his second Locator Card and
congratulates you on getting yours.  You can challenge Joey to a duel if you
want to.

Now go to the northwest alleyway.  When you enter the alleyway, challenge the
boy nearby.  He'll ask his big brother to duel you.  After you defeat him,
he'll ask his brother, Espa Roba, to duel you.  The brothers use varied Summons
(Thunder, Wind, Forest, Earth, Fiend and Light).  Their non-tribute monsters
have 700 ATK or less.  Once you defeat Espa, you receive your third Locator
Card.

Go to the northeast area to find a sad Bonz.  Speak with him to learn that he
was beaten by some hooded guys and forced to flee the cemetry.  Walk into the
cemetery and duel the Ghoul (Rare Hunter). Once you've beaten him, leave the
cemetery.  Bonz thanks you for getting rid of the Ghouls and makes his way back
to the cemetery.

Once your Duelist Level is at least 100, you should be strong enough to duel
Rex Raptor.  After defeating Rex, you obtain your fourth Locator Card.

Go to the Domino City Map and the Park should now be unlocked.  When you enter
the Park, talk to Strings.  He won't do anything for a while, so duel the
people around the Park for some Domino, DC, etc.

If you try to duel a afro-haired guy in the second area, he'll ask if you know
where Yugi can be found.  Say "Yes" and he'll duel you.  Afterwards, he'll tell
you that saw Mai at the Building.

At the end of the Park, you'll find Weevil and his gang.  Weevil will tell you
to defeat his cronies first before challenging him.  They specialise in using
Forest-Summon and Insect-Type monsters.  Once you've defeated them all,
challenge Weevil.

Once you defeat Weevil, you get your fifth Locator Card.  Weevil refuses
to believe that he lost, so challenge him to a duel two more times to convince
him otherwise.  Weevil accepts his defeat and informs you that Seto Kaiba set
up the Battle City tournament in order to obtain the legendary cards.  The
Ghouls are looking for them too, and Weevil wants you to find them as well.

If you talk to Rex, he'll ask if you came to laugh at him.  Say "No" and he'll
accept a rematch.  Say "Yes" and he'll ignore you.

If you go the Game Shop, you'll see the afro-haired guy from the Park outside.
He says he dueled Yugi, but couldn't win.  You can try dueling him yourself
(he's inside the shop).

Go to the south-most area of Clock Tower Square where the cafe is located.
Talk to the guy here to learn that there's a creepy rumour going around about
the Card Shop, so head there to find out what's going on.

===============================================================================
7.03 - Chapter 3: An Unexpected Enemy
===============================================================================

As you enter the Card Shop, Arkana welcomes you and invites you to a special
show.  He asks you to follow him downstairs.  If you want to buy some cards,
you can talk to the shopkeeper before following Arkana.  The magician explains
that the loser of the duel is chopped up.  He reveals that he is a member of
the Ghouls, and challenges you to a duel.

Once you defeat Arkana, the blade will get closer and the Main Character will
save him.  However, Marik takes control of Arkana and sends his mind to the
Shadow Realm.  Now leave the Card Shop and go back to Clock Tower Square.
Enter Grandpa's Game Shop and speak with Joey's new friend Namu.

If your non-tribute monsters have 1200 ATK or more, I suggest challenging the
Duel Computer inside the Kaiba Corporation.  Outside the building, you can duel
the security guard.  He uses the same deck as the Duel Computer.

You can now access the Building and the Bridge on the Domino City Map.  Travel
to the Building first.  Mai should be outside if you dueled the afro-haired
guy.  Try dueling her.  Afterwards, speak with Joey inside and he'll leave.
Use the elevator to go to the first, second and third floor.  There are
duelists here that you can fight for some Domino, DC, etc.

When you have defeated everyone in the Building, go to the Bridge and you'll
see Seto Kaiba using his Blue-Eyes White Dragon to defeat a duelist.  Seto
notices you and says to tell Yugi that he'll accept his challenge anytime.
Cross the wooden bridge and follow the path to meet Strings, who challenges you
to a duel.

After the duel, Marik takes control of Strings.  It transpires that Marik is
the leader of the rare hunter Ghouls, who are plotting to collect the ultimate
rare cards.  Marik warns you not to interfere with their plans, and threatens
to target your friends.  When Strings collapses, make your way back to the
Domino City Map.

===============================================================================
7.04 - Chapter 4: Obtaining the Locator Cards, Part 2
===============================================================================

The Aquarium should now be unlocked. Go there and explore the place first.
Enter the aquarium itself and head to the end to see Mako using his Legendary
Fisherman to defeat Joey.

If you try to challenge Mako to a duel, he will refuse, so you must beat
everybody in the aquarium to convince him otherwise.  With the exception of
Joey, the duelists here specialise in using Water-Summon monsters.  They can
take advantage of the Umi field, so I suggest using Thunder monsters to destroy
them.

I suggest duelling Joey first, since he uses the same deck as before.  You can
duel Joey an infinite number of times if you want to.  There is a couple
admiring the view around here.  Duel the girl first and then her boyfriend
Takeshi.  When you have defeated everyone, attempt to duel Mako again and he'll
accept your challenge.

After you defeat Mako, you acquire your sixth and final Locator Card.  If you
talk to Mako afterwards, you can choose "Cheer up" or "Get tough."  If you
choose the former option, Mako will leave the Aquarium.  I suggest choosing the
latter option, since Mako will stay in the Aquarium and you can challenge him
again.

===============================================================================
7.05 - Chapter 5: The Ghouls Strike
===============================================================================

Go back to the Game Shop.  Solomon will inform you that Joey Wheeler and Tea
Gardner left a while ago, but there was something odd about Joey though.  Speak
with Yugi.  He senses that something is wrong as well.  A Ghoul arrives and
threatens to harm Joey and Tea if you don't hand over your decks and quit the
Tournament.  Give either answer to the Ghoul's question.

If you travel to some districts in Domino City, you'll notice that it has been
invaded by the evil Ghouls.  To continue the story, you must defeat the Ghouls
at Clock Tower Square (both the northeastern alleyway and cemetery), Aquarium,
Bridge, and Art Gallery at least once.

If you defeat a Ghoul, the Ghoul will leave an area temporarily.  If you exit
the area, he'll appear there again.  If you beat the Ghouls repeatedly, they'll
each give you 2800-4700 Domino.  They specialise in using Fiend-Summon monsters
, so I suggest using Light monsters to destroy them.  They're slightly stronger
than before, but still not that hard. Their monsters have 1200 ATK or less.
Fortunately, they can't take advantage of the Yami field.

When you have defeated the Ghouls at the above districts at least once, they
will appear at the Park.  Take the eastern route to see Bandit Keith using Zera
the Mant to defeat Weevil.  Weevil and his gang run away, leaving you to duel
Keith.  The playing field is the Yami type.

Once you defeat Keith, return to the Game Shop.  Mai arrives on the scene, and
suggests that you go see Seto Kaiba.  Speak with the security guard, Roland, to
learn that Mokuba might know where Seto is (you'll have to duel Roland first
if you haven't already).  Since Bonz, Espa and Weevil were driven from their
original locations by the Ghouls, they are now in different areas of Clock Tower
Square (Mako has disappeared for the time being).  From Espa's location at the
centre, you can find Weevil to the south and Bonz to the east.

Travel to the Building, and you'll see Mokuba being confronted by Lumis and
Umbra.  The villains challenge you and Yugi to a tag duel on the roof.  You
must choose either Lumis or Umbra as your opponent, so I suggest choosing
Lumis, since I found that he was easier to defeat than Umbra.  In this game,
the duel is not a tag duel in the strictest sense; you simply duel one opponent
while your partner duels the other off-screen.

After you and Yugi defeat the duo, Marik takes control of Lumis and reveals
that he owns a Millennium Item.  His Millennium Rod brainwashes anyone and
makes them his faithful servants.  Once Lumis and Umbra collapse onto the
floor, leave the roof and speak with Mokuba.  Mokuba reveals that his brother
Seto is at the Art Gallery.

When you arrive at the Art Gallery, Yugi asks Seto to help them find Joey.
Seto runs a search on his computers and discovers that Joey is in the vicinity
of Domino Pier.  As you enter the Pier, you'll be ambushed by the Ghouls.
Yugi takes on the Ghouls, while you must duel Bandit Keith.  He uses the same
deck as the last time you duelled him, so he should be easier to defeat.

Once you defeat Keith, Marik takes control of him and informs you that your
friends are waiting.  After Keith collapses, head north to find Joey and Tea.
It transpires that Marik has brainwashed them and wants Yugi to duel against
Joey.  Marik reveals that the loser sinks into the sea bound by chains, and
weighted by an anchor.  Yugi refuses to duel with his friend's life at stake,
but Marik threatens to poison Tea if he does so.  Yugi reluctantly accepts the
duel, but he is unable to defeat Joey and sinks into the sea.  Choose "Dive in"
to rescue Yugi.  A furious Marik declares that it's your turn and orders Joey
to duel against you.

After the duel, Marik orders the brainwashed Joey to leap into the sea.
Fortunately, Yugi reminds Joey of their promise and he frees himself from
Marik's mind control.  When you appear in Grandpa's Game Shop, speak with Joey
and he'll leave to obtain his sixth Locator Card.  With Domino Town liberated
from the Ghouls, Bonz and Weevil will go back to their original locations.

===============================================================================
7.06 - Chapter 6: The Detour
===============================================================================

Head for the Aquarium, and you'll see Jean-Claude Magnum asking Mai to duel
her.  Magnum claims that Mai promised to marry him if he won their duel.  Mai
refuses to believe it and suggests that Magnum challenges you to a duel.  If
he can defeat you, she'll marry him.

Once you defeat Magnum, go to the Art Gallery.  As you arrive there, Ishizu
asks you to follow her inside.  Enter the gallery to discover the secret
behind the cards.  Ishizu informs you that wizards kept peace in the land, in
ancient Egypt.  They did so by sealing away the monsters in the hearts of
humans - the causes of all misery - in stone tablets.  However, some corrupt
high priests tried to oust the reigning Pharaoh by asking the wizards and their
stone tablets to carry out their rebellion.  Pegasus, who created the Duel
Monsters cards, based all his work on the stone tablets.  Ishizu tells you this
for a reason but, before she can explain why, you must duel with her.

After defeating Ishizu, she will inform you that the three tablets depicted on
the artifact represent the three Egyptian God Cards of such rarity that they
are often dismissed as mirages.  Anyone obtaining all three of these mystic
cards is said to inherit the legend of eternal invincibility and the title of
Duel King.  Ishizu reveals that her brother Marik organized the Ghouls to
obtain the God Cards.  She is willing to entrust you with one of the three but,
before that, you must duel Seto Kaiba.

After the duel, Seto declares that he will win the title of Duel King even
without an Egyptian God Card.  Ishizu congratulates you on defeating Seto and
entrusts you with Obelisk the Tormentor.  She asks you to stop her brother,
because he is trying to exploit the power of cards to satisfy his desire for
revenge against the world.

Once Ishizu walks away, re-construct your deck and add Obelisk the Tormentor.
Although it isn't necessary to place the Egyptian God Card in your deck to
complete the game, it can make the duels against the Battle City finalists
easier.  When you have finished preparing your deck, go to Domino Pier.

When you arrive at the Pier, go right and enter the warehouse.  You'll see
Bandit Keith looking out the window.  His deck still hasn't changed, but the
playing field is now the Arena type, so Keith's Fiend-Type monsters can't get
a power bonus.  However, he can use his field Magic Card to change the playing
field to Yami, so watch out.  If you can defeat him, he'll ask if it's all over
for him.  You can choose "it is over" or "it's not over."  If you choose the
former option, Keith will leave the Pier and you'll never see him again.  I
suggest choosing the latter option, since he'll stay in the warehouse and you
can duel him anytime you want.

If you head north and then left, you'll notice Mako watching the sea.  He
hasn't changed any of the cards in his duelling deck, so he should be easier to
defeat than before.  There are duelists in the other warehouse at the Pier that
you can fight for some Domino, DC, etc.

===============================================================================
7.07 - Chapter 7: The Battle City Finals
===============================================================================

When you enter the Game Shop, Joey informs you that he has got his sixth
Locator Card.  The gang discover that the finals are taking place at the
Stadium Site.  As they arrive at the site, Namu and Bakura make an appearance.
Speak with Mai to recieve a Cyber Harpie for defeating Jean-Claude Magnum.
When you have talked to everyone, talk to Roland again.  Odion will arrive on
the scene and introduce himself as Marik Ishtar.

The duelists board Kaiba Craft 3, and Roland announces the first match.  It's
Yugi Muto versus Ryou Bakura.  Yami Bakura takes control of Bakura's body and
calls for Yami Yugi to duel him for the right to the Millennium Puzzle.  Yugi
summons Slifer the Sky Dragon to defeat Bakura, who collapses onto the floor in
shock.  Roland announces the second match.  It's the Main Character versus
Marik Ishtar (Odion).

Big difficulty spike coming up.  Odion is very tough and, oddly enough, harder
than the last two bosses.  If you want to leave Kaiba Craft 3, you can take the
elevator.  Go to the first floor and head south to reach the Stadium Site.
When you're ready to fight Odion, return to the Stadium Site and head north to
arrive back on Kaiba Craft 3.  Use the elevator to go to the roof, and talk to
Roland to start the duel with Odion.

Once you defeat Odion, a storm begins to brew above the duelling arena.  It
seems The Winged Dragon of Ra is angry.  Odion wasn't the rightful owner, and
yet he used it.  As Odion apologizes to his master for failing him, Yugi
realises that Namu is Marik Ishtar.  Marik informs Yugi that he will obtain the
three Egyptian God Cards and get his revenge on Yugi and the world.  As Odion
collapses, Yami Marik takes control of Marik's body and warns Yugi that he
will destroy everything with the God Cards.

Roland announces the third match.  It's Marik Ishtar versus Joey Wheeler.
Joey is confident that he can defeat Marik, but Yugi warns him to be careful
of the shadow in his soul.  Yami Marik congratulates Joey on breaking his
control, but warns that he will banish him to the Shadow Realm.  Unfazed by
Yami Marik's threats, Joey vows to expose him as a total fraud.  The Winged
Dragon of Ra attacks, trapping Joey in the Shadow Realm.

When you appear in a medical room, leave it and enter the medical room above
you.  You'll see Yami Marik preparing to send Odion to the Shadow Realm.  He
notices you and warns that you will suffer the same fate as Joey Wheeler.
Exit the room and head for the first floor.  Go right to see Roland announce
the fourth match.  It's Seto Kaiba versus Mai Valentine.  Mai is determined to
win, but Seto summons his Blue-Eyes White Dragon to defeat her.  Seto declares
that he will obtain the three Egyptian God Cards and become the Duel King.  Mai
apologizes to Joey for failing him.

You appear in the same medical room as before.  When you have talked to
everyone in the room, speak with Mokuba again.  Kaiba Craft 3 lands on Kaiba
Corp Island, and the duelists disembark.  Seto reveals that the island was
built by his stepfather years ago.  It was once used by an arms manufacturer.
Atop the Duel Tower, Seto wants to win the title of Duel King in order to
surpass his stepfather.  As everyone enters the Duel Tower, Yami Marik comments
that it is a fitting tomb marker for them.

Roland welcomes everyone to the Duel Tower and declares that they shall
proceed with the semifinals of the Battle City tournament.  Out of the four
remaining duelists, only those two winning their respective matches in the
Tower will move on to the final duel atop it.  Roland announces the first
semifinal match-up.  It's Yugi Muto versus the Main Character.  Talk to Roland
to start the duel.

After you defeat Yugi, he senses that you're strong enough to beat Marik Ishtar
and hands over Slifer the Sky Dragon to help you.  Roland announces the second
semifinal match-up.  It's Marik Ishtar versus Seto Kaiba.  Seto activates the
Solid Vision System, which changes the arena into the Duelist Coliseum.  Seto
admits that Marik's Egyptian God Card is special, but it will fall to his
Blue-Eyes White Dragon.  Seto summons 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons, but The Winged
Dragon of Ra destroys them, trapping Seto in the Shadow Realm.

Roland announces the final duel.  It's the Main Character versus Marik Ishtar.
This is the last point in the game where you can return to your house and save
game progress, so your end-game progress and anything received from Marik will
be lost.  Re-construct your deck.  Add Slifer the Sky Dragon and prepare your
deck for the showdown.  When you are ready, return to Kaiba Corp Island and
talk to Roland to start the duel.  Diffculty-wise, Marik is around the same
level as Odion.

After the duel, Yami Marik is shocked to see that his Egyptian God Card has
lost.  You obtain The Winged Dragon of Ra.  As Marik collapses, Yugi senses
that the evil presence within him has dissipated.  Mai, Tristan and Tea
congratulate you on defeating Marik.

In the medical room, Joey wakes up and wonders why everyone is crying.  Tristan
says they were all worried about him when he lost that Shadow Duel and wouldn't
wake up.  Joey realises that he lost to Marik and asks who won it all.  Yugi
tells him that you won the final duel against Marik.  Mokuba arrives in the
room and tells everyone to get ready for disembarking.  He says his big brother
woke up and thanks you.

At the Stadium Site, Ishizu thanks you for thwarting Marik's evil plans and
asks for the return of the God Cards.  Agree.  She says she, Odion and Marik
will never appear again before you (or at least until the game's sequel, Reshef
of Destruction) and bids you farewell.

Back at Clock Tower Square, Yugi, Joey and you remince about the game's events.
The End.  The credits roll shortly afterwards.  Congrats on completing this
game.


###############################################################################
8.  Boss/Duelist Guide
###############################################################################

This section lists the major bosses/duelists in the game along with notes and
strategies.  Some of them can be re-matched, but they will give less DC and
Domino from then on.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| RYOU BAKURA |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 5
Domino: 3000 (a lot of money at the start of the game)

Bakura uses varied Summons (Fiend, Earth, Dark and Fire).  His non-tribute
monsters have 600 ATK or less.  Dark Necrofear is the monster to be wary of.
It can take control of your strongest monster.  Fortunately, Bakura must
sacrifice 2 monsters to summon it.  Be cautious of his magic/trap zone, since
he will place the Destiny Board/Spirit Message cards face-down on the field.
Victory is automatic if the "FINAL" message is completed, so watch out.

+~~~~~~+
| BONZ |
+~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 500

Bonz specialises in using Fiend and Forest-Summon monsters, so I suggest
using Light and Fire monsters to destroy them.  His non-tribute monsters have
600 ATK or less.  Most are Zombie-Type, so you can use Eternal Rest to clear
the field of them.  The one monster to be wary of is Pumpking the King of
Ghosts.  Fortunately, Bonz must sacrifice 1 monster to summon it.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| JOEY WHEELER |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 5
Domino: 500

Joey uses varied Summons (Fiend, Dream, Dark, Water, Earth and Forest).  His
non-tribute monsters have 700 ATK or less.  A lot are Warrior-Type, so you can
use Warrior Elimination to clear the field of them.  Gilford the Lightning is
the one monster to be wary of.  It can destroy all monsters on your field.
Fortunately, Joey must sacrifice 2 monsters to summon it.

+~~~~~~~~~~~+
| ESPA ROBA |
+~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 800

Espa uses varied Summons (Thunder, Wind, Forest, Earth, Fiend and Light).  His
non-tribute monsters have 700 ATK or less.  The one monster to watch out for is
Jinzo.  It can destroy all your traps.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| GHOUL (RARE HUNTER) |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 5
Domino: 2800

He uses varied Summons (Earth, Fiend, Water, Dream and Dark).  His non-tribute
monsters have 1000 ATK or less.  Don't worry too much about Exodia, as he often
plays his Exodia pieces rather than keeping them in his hand.  If you spend too
long dueling him, he might summon Exodia and win the match, though.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| REX RAPTOR |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 1500

Rex specialises in using Earth and Forest-Summon monsters.  His
non-tribute monsters have 900 ATK or less.  His Dinosaur and Rock-Type monsters
can take advantage of the Wasteland field.  Fortunately, they are Earth-Summon,
so you can use Wind monsters to destroy them.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| WEEVIL UNDERWOOD |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 3000

Weevil specialises in using Forest-Summon monsters, so I suggest using Fire
monsters to destroy them.  His non-tribute monsters have 700 ATK or less.
Since Weevil's monsters are Insect-Type, they can take advantage of the Forest
field.  Fortunately, Eradicating Aerosol can clear the field of them, so I
advise using the Magic Card to get rid of Weevil's monsters.

Weevil's strongest monster is Insect Queen, since it can power up if there are
Insect-Type monsters on the field.  Parasite Paracide can latch itself onto one
of your monsters.  Be wary of Pinch Hopper, as Weevil can use its ability to
summon an insect such as Insect Queen from his hand without needing sacrifices.

Petit Moth is the insect to be aware of, as it will evolve into its later
stages of evolution at the start of each of Weevil's turns.  If you leave it on
the field for too long, you'll have to contend with formidable monsters like
Great Moth.  Fortunately, Petit Moth is a weak monster, so you should be able
to easily destroy it before it gets a chance to evolve.

+~~~~~~~~~~~+
| YUGI MUTO |
+~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 5
Domino: 2000

Yugi's non-tribute monsters have 800 ATK or less.  He will use the Kuriboh/
Multiply combo to summon his strong tribute monsters.  Watch out for Magician
of Black Chaos, as Yugi can use Dark Magic Ritual to summon it.

+~~~~~~~~+
| ARKANA |
+~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 10000

Arkana specialises in using Fiend, Dark, Fire and Forest-Summon monsters.
His non-tribute monsters have 600 ATK or less.  His Spellcaster and Fiend-Type
monsters can take advantage of the Yami field, so I advise changing the playing
field to benefit your own monsters.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| ROLAND/DUEL COMPUTER |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30/5
Domino: 5000

Roland and Duel Computer use varied Summons (Wind, Thunder, Dark and Fiend).
His non-tribute monsters have 1200 ATK or less.  The one monster to be aware of
is Electric Lizard.  It can stop your strongest monster from attacking for 1
turn.  If you can prevent the Duel Computer from ever having 3 monsters to
sacrifice, you won't have to worry about facing FGD.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| MAI VALENTINE |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 5
Domino: 800

Aside from Harpie Lady, Mai's non-tribute monsters have 900 ATK or less and her
WingedBeast-types can take advantage of the Mountain field.  Nothing else to
note.

+~~~~~~~~~+
| STRINGS |
+~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 10000

Strings specialises in using Fiend and Water-Summon monsters, so I suggest
using Light and Thunder monsters to destroy them.  With the exception of
Revival Jam, his non-tribute monsters have 1000 ATK or less.  Strings' Fiend-
Type monsters can take advantage of the Yami field, so I advice changing the
playing field to benefit your own monsters.

Strings will use the multiplying abilities of his Revival Jams and Dorons as
tribute fodder to summon Slifer the Sky Dragon.  The Egyptian God Card is
impossible to destroy, since it has 4000 ATK/DEF and can power up 3 levels for
every card in the player's hand.  I advice using Thunder monsters to take out
Strings' multiplying monsters to stop him from sacrificing them to summon
Slifer.  Alternatively, you can use Reflect Bounder to take the ATK power of
the God Card to wipe out Strings' Life Points.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| MAKO TSUNAMI |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 5000

Mako specialises in using Water-Summon monsters, so I suggest using Thunder
monsters to destroy them.  His non-tribute monsters have 900 ATK or less, but
they can take advantage of the Umi field.  Mako has 1 Torrential Tribute card
in his deck.  It can destroy all your monsters if you set it off.  If he gets
an opportunity, Mako will use his Dorons as tribute fodder to summon Fortress
Whale.  He has to activate Fortress Whale's Oath to play it, though.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| BANDIT KEITH |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 20000

Keith specialises in using Fiend, Dark and Fire-Summon monsters.  His non-
tribute monsters have 1600 ATK or less.  A lot are Machine-Type, so you can use
Stain Storm to destroy them or play Umi to power them down.  Barrel Dragon's
special ability can destroy all of your monsters with a 2-in-1 success rate.
If you're lucky, Keith won't get a chance to summon it.  Keith's 3 Infinite
Dismissals can stop one of your monsters from attacking for 1 turn, so watch
out.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| LUMIS/UMBRA |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 30000

Lumis and Umbra specialise in using Fiend and Dream-Summon monsters, so I
suggest using Light and Fiend monsters to destroy them.  Their non-tribute
monsters have 1600 ATK or less.  Their Fiend-Types can take advantage of the
Yami field, so I advice changing the playing field to benefit your own
monsters.  The majority of their monsters are Fiend-Summons, so you may able
to win the duel with your Light monsters before Lumis and Umbra can summon
their Dream monsters.  If you can prevent them from ever having 2 monsters to
sacrifice, you won't have to worry about their strong tribute monsters.

+~~~~~~~~~~~+
| DARK JOEY |
+~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 40000

Joey uses varied Summons (Fire, Forest, Earth and Dream).  His non-tribute
monsters have 1500 ATK or less.  His Normal Monsters should be easy to
destroy, but his effect ones can turn the tables on you.  Rocket Warrior can
power down your strongest monster, while Time Wizard can transform Baby Dragon
into Thousand Dragon.  If you can take them out, you'll have an easier time
defeating Joey.  Goblin Fan is perfect for countering attack spells like Sparks
and Tremendous Fire, as the trap can reflect a direct Life Point attack back at
Joey.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| JEAN-CLAUDE MAGNUM |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 5
Domino: 50000

Magnum specialises in using Earth-Summon monsters, so I suggest using Wind
monsters to destroy them.  His monsters are all Warrior-Type, making them
vulnerable to Warrior Elimination's effect.  His non-tribute monsters have 1000
ATK or less.  Magnum will use his field Magic Card to change the playing field
to Sogen to benefit his own monsters.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| ISHIZU ISHTAR |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 50000

Ishizu specialises in using Light and Dream-Summon monsters, so I suggest
using Dark and Fiend monsters to destroy them.  Her non-tribute monsters have
1400 ATK or less.  Amazon Archers can power down and immobilize your monsters,
so watch out for them.  Her Fairy-Types are strong, but you can change the
playing field to Yami to power them down.  The one monster to be wary of is
Obelisk the Tormentor.  It can destroy all your monsters and inflict 4000 LP
worth of damage.  If you can prevent Ishizu from ever having 3 monsters to
sacrifice, you won't have to worry about facing the Egyptian God Card.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| SETO KAIBA |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 80000

Seto uses varied Summons (Fiend, Light, Water, Dark and Forest).  A lot are
Dragon-Type, so you can use Dragon Capture Jar to clear the field of them.
When Seto has 2 monsters on the field, he'll usually sacrifice them to summon
one of his 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons, so I advise using a Dark-Summon monster
to destroy them.  He will use his Magic Cards to power up his monsters, so I
suggest placing Reverse Traps on the field to counter their effects.

Seto's monsters have 1300 ATK or less.  He will use his field Magic Card to
change the playing field to Mountain to benefit his own monsters.  I advise
using strong tribute monsters that benefit from the Mountain field to have an
advantage.  Crush Card can destroy all your monsters with 1500 ATK or higher,
so be ready.  If you can prevent Seto from sacrificing three monsters to
summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, you'll have an easier time defeating him.
Just watch out for his Widespread Ruin and Monster Reborn cards.

+~~~~~~~+
| ODION |
+~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 50000

Odion specialises in using Earth and Water-Summon monsters, so I suggest
using Wind and Thunder monsters to destroy them.  His non-tribute monsters have
1500 ATK or less.  Odion's Rock-Types can take advantage of the Wasteland
field, so I advise summoning tribute monsters (eg. Megazowler) that can benefit
from the same field or changing the playing field to benefit your own monsters.
Alternatively, you can use Breath of Light or just any monster destruction
cards to destroy them.  Odion will use his Equip Magic Cards to power up his
monsters.

Be ready for the special abilities of Odion's Effect Monsters.  His 3 Mystical
Beast Serkets can envelop your monsters and receive a 500 ATK bonus, so I
suggest using Wind-Summon monsters to destroy them.  Relinquished can steal a
monster (including a face-down one) and receive its parameters, so I advice
having 2 or more strong monsters on the field at a time.  The Winged Dragon of
Ra can cut Odion's Life Points to 1 and hit you with the Life Point amount he
has lost.

If Odion summons The Winged Dragon of Ra, it will be difficult to destroy.  I
suggest playing Umi to weaken Ra, so you can weaken it further with Shadow
Spell and Spellbinding Circle.  As long as Odion's Life Points are lower than
yours, you won't lose the duel due to Ra's special ability.  If Odion has more
Life Points than you, I advice placing a Goblin Fan on the field, since it can
reflect Ra's direct Life Point attack back at your opponent.  You can also use
Reflect Bounder's special ability to counterattack.  Your best bet is to
prevent Odion from summoning the Egyptian God Card in the first place if you
want to have an easier time defeating him.

+~~~~~~~~~~~+
| YAMI YUGI |
+~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 70000

Yugi uses varied Summons (Dream, Dark, Earth, Fiend, Water and Wind).  His non-
tribute monsters have 1700 ATK or less.  Swords of Revealing Light can prevent
your monsters from attacking for 3 turns.  This can help Yugi stall for time
until he can summon Master of Dragon Soldier or Slifer the Sky Dragon.  He can
also use the Kuriboh/Multiply combo to gather enough monsters to sacrifice.
Big Shield Gardna is his strongest 4-Star defensive monster, so I advise using
Stop Defense to switch it to attack mode, so you can destroy it before Yugi can
sacrifice it to summon a stronger monster.

Yugi uses Exodia, but like Rare Hunter, he often plays his Exodia pieces rather
than keeping them in his hand, so don't worry.  He can use Brain Control and
Monster Reborn to steal your own monsters and use them to summon his strong
tribute monsters.  He has a lot of Dragon-Types, which are vulnerable to Dragon
Capture Jar's effect.  Spellbinding Circle can power down all your monsters, so
watch out.

Yugi's strongest monsters are Slifer the Sky Dragon and Master of Dragon
Soldier.  Slifer can power up 3 levels for every card in the player's hand,
while Dragon Soldier can power up for every Dragon-Type monster on the player's
field.  Fortunately, Dragon Capture Jar's effect can destroy the latter
Divine-Summon monster.  If you can immobilize the Egyptian God Card with
Infinite Dismissals or Amazon Archers, you can summon Obelisk the Tormentor to
destroy the powerful God Card once and for all.  You can also use Reflect
Bounder's special ability to counterattack.

Surprisingly, Yugi isn't that hard to beat, especially in comparison to Odion,
as he has a lot of strong tribute monsters that tend to clog up his hand often.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~+
| YAMI MARIK |
+~~~~~~~~~~~~+

DC: 30
Domino: 500000

Marik uses varied Summons (Dark, Fiend, Wind and Earth-Summon).  His non-
tribute monsters have 1800 ATK or less.  His Fiend-Type monsters can take
advantage of the Yami field, so I advise changing the playing field to benefit
your own monsters.  Marik has 3 Harpie's Feather Dusters in his deck, so I
advise placing your Trap Cards on the field one at a time.  Anti-Raigeki and
Torrential Tribute can both destroy your monsters if you set them off, so watch
out.

Marik's Effect Monsters can turn the tide in his favour.  Ancient Lamp can
summon La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp, which can take advantage of
the Yami field.  Legendary Fiend can power itself up.  Exarion Universe can hit
the opponent with Life Point loss identical to its ATK before powering down.
Similar to Relinquished, Thousand-Eyes Restrict can steal a monster and receive
its parameters, except it can power up 2 levels as well.  The Winged Dragon of
Ra has the power to cut Marik's Life Points to 1 and hit you with the Life
Point amount he has lost.

La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp, The Bistro Butcher, and Ryu-Kishin
Powered are Marik's strongest non-tribute monsters, since they receive a power
bonus from the Yami field.  Fortunately, you can use Exile of the Wicked to
destroy them.

If you can gather enough monsters to summon Obelisk the Tormentor or Slifer the
Sky Dragon, you won't have any problems defeating Marik.  Exarion Universe can
still inflict direct Life Point damage, so watch out for it.  Although
Thousand-Eyes Restrict's ability has no effect on your two Egyptian God Cards,
Marik will still activate it.  Since the monster is now left in attack position
with only 0 ATK/DEF, you take a large chunk out of Marik's Life Points.

9.  My Deck
###############################################################################

If you are having trouble beating this game, you can use my deck instead.  You
can also use this deck as an example to help construct your own deck.  If you
read the Hints and Tips section, you should get an idea of what cards you'll
like to use in your deck.

My dueling strategy is to use a simple beatdown deck with magic and traps as
backup. I also suggest focusing on monsters that can take advantage of the
default terrain.  Towards the end of the game, the main threats to your
strategy will be monster destruction/control cards.

===============================================================================
                               Default Deck

Magic:
------
1x Dark Hole
1x Mooyan Curry
1x Pot of Greed
1x Contract of Mask

Traps:

1x House of Adhesive Tape

You begin this game with a reasonable deck.  A lot of non-tribute monsters have
600-900 ATK, so they're good against the early duelists.  The tribute monsters
are poor, though.  Aside from Dark Hole and Pot of Greed, the magic/traps are
rubbish.

12. Frequently Asked Questions
###############################################################################

Q: How can I obtain the three Egyptian God Cards?
A: Ishizu gives you Obelisk the Tormentor, Yugi hands over Slifer the Sky
  Dragon to you, and The Winged Dragon of Ra is obtained from Marik.

Q: How do I get Slifer the Sky Dragon from Strings?
A: You can't.  Strings does have Slifer in his deck, but you must defeat Yugi
  during the Battle City Finals to get it.

Q: Can I use The Winged Dragon of Ra in duels?
A: No.  Although you can obtain The Winged Dragon of Ra from Marik, you never
  get a chance to use it.  Ra is programmed into the game, though, so you can
  use a cheat device to acquire it.  Also, if you duel Marik and destroy Ra,
  you can use Monster Reborn to bring it back to the field under your control
  for the duration of the duel.

Q: Is there a password that can increase my Deck Capacity?
A: Yes.  If you input 98025229 into the Password Machine in the Card Shop,
  you'll recieve 100 Deck Capacity.  You can only enter this password once.

Q: How high can I increase my Duelist Level and Deck Capacity to?
A: You can increase your duelist Level to 999 and your Deck Capacity to 9999.

Q: What is the Ante Card rule?
A: Before a duel begins, you can choose whether to bet an Ante Card.  If you
  win the duel, you'll receive your opponent's card as a prize.  However, if
  you lose, the opponent keeps your card.

Q: How can I get good Ante Cards?
A: Bet any 500+ ATK monster (eg. Frog the Jam) to yield the same rewards with
  the same probablities (credited to froggy25).

Q: Can I attack with a monster after I use its special ability?
A: No, you must wait until your next turn to attack with it.

Q: How can I increase my Duelist Level?
A: Every time you beat an opponent, your Duelist Level will go up by three
  (eg. 813 > 816 DL).

Q: How do I use Ritual Cards, such as Black Luster Ritual and Dark Magic
  Ritual, in this game?
A: 1) Place the Ritual Card on the field.
  2) Summon the monster needed to start the Ritual.  For example, Gaia the
     Fierce Knight is summoned to start the Black Luster Ritual.
  3) Sacrifice two other monsters and activate the Ritual Card.

Q: When can I activate a monster's effect?
A: You can activate a monster's effect when it is face-down.  This is usually
  when it is summoned to the field, but you can play Darkness Approaches or
  Castle of Dark Illusions to switch monsters from face-up to face-down
  position, thus allowing you to use their effects again.  Relinquished and
  Thousand-Eyes Restrict are both exceptions, though, since they adapt to a
  targeted monster's parameters permanently.

Q: What promotional cards were given with this game?
A: Exchange, Skull Dice, and Graceful Dice.

Q: How many duelists can I challenge unlimited times?
A: The list below details the duelists you can challenge and their pre-endgame
  locations (Tristan Taylor can be challenged unlimited times prior to
  Chapter 5, Espa Roba prior to Chapter 6):
  1) Bonz (Clock Tower Square)
  2) Rex Raptor (Clock Tower Square)
  3) Weevil Underwood (Park)
  4) Duel Computer (Clock Tower Square)
  5) Mako Tsunami (Pier)
  6) Bandit Keith (Pier)
  7) Marik Ishtar (Kaiba Corp Island)

Q: Why doesn't Swords of Revealing Light remain on the field for 3 turns after
  activation?
A: Swords of Revealing Light is considered a Normal Magic in this game, so it
  does not remain on the field.  Therefore, you cannot prevent the effect
  after activation.

Q: How do I play the Destiny Board/Spirit Message cards?
A: Place them in your magic/trap zone.  Victory is automatic if the "FINAL"
  message is completed.  It isn't necessary for letters to be placed on the
  field in their proper order.  If any letter is destroyed, the others will
  still remain on the field.

Q: How do I play Messenger of Peace?
A: Activate Messenger of Peace in your magic/trap zone.  The opponent can't
  change positions, declare attacks, activate abilities and/or sacrifice with
  monsters with an ATK of 1500 or more for 1 turn.  Monsters summoned after
  this card's activation are excluded.

Q: Can I choose the targets of trap/magic/monster effect by cards like Beckon
  to Darkness or Rocket Warrior?
A: No.  These cards will always target the strongest monster on your
  opponent's field.

Q: Is there multiplayer in this game?
A: No.
