1. Introduction
###############################################################################
Thank you for choosing to read my Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards FAQ. I wrote this
guide to help you complete the game. If you've read my Reshef of Destruction
FAQ, you might be thinking that this game is hard. You'll be glad to know that
The Sacred Cards is much easier than that game. The game is easy due to cheap
card prices, fair duelists and high Duelist Level/Deck Capacity.
I hope this FAQ gives you some assistance in completing Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred
Cards. I've written Duelist Strategies, a comprehensive Walkthrough, Character
Decks, Hints and Tips, and much more. Beware of the spoilers, though. The
Sacred Cards is based on the anime, following the events of Battle City.

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.
###############################################################################

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

Egyptian God Cards and defeat Yugi to become the Duel King. To do so, he
organizes the Battle City tournament.
Mokuba Kaiba
------------

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

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.

and Cost.
===============================================================================
5.03 - Card Types
===============================================================================
Cards are divided into 5 types in this game. Green-coloured cards are Magic
Cards, while purple cards are Trap Cards. The other 3 colours are Monster
Cards. Those colours are: Yellow (Normal Monsters), orange (Effect Monsters)
and blue (Ritual Monsters). Conversely, The Winged Dragon of Ra and Obelisk
the Tormentor are yellow and blue-coloured, respectively, for some reason.
The effects of most cards have been changed or removed in this game due to
memory constraints. For example, Jinzo now destroys all traps on the
opponent's field, while Cyber Jar and Sangan are now Normal Monsters. Effects
have been added to certain cards. For instance, Mystical Elf and Giant Soldier
of Stone are now Effect Monsters.
Some types of cards have been changed due to technical limitations. For
example, Spellbinding Circle and Crush Card are now Magic Cards. You can't
fuse most monsters, so Fusion Monsters have been re-categorised as Normal/
Effect Monsters. For example, Flame Swordsman is now 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.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
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, Attribute, Level, ATK, and
DEF. Each monster has a set Level (Star) which indicates how many monsters
must be sacrificed for that monster. Generally, 5-6 Star monsters require one
sacrifice, 7-8 Star monsters require two sacrifices, and 9-12 Star monsters
require three sacrifices.
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". The card is placed in attack
position. 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). Arena is the only field type which is 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Field Chart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Field | Advantage | Disadvantage
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forest | Plant, beast warrior, insect, beast | ------------------
Wasteland | Zombie, dinosaur, rock | ------------------
Mountain | Dragon, winged beast, thunder | ------------------
Sogen | Beast warrior, warrior | ------------------
Umi | Aqua, thunder and sea serpent | Machine, pyro
Yami | Spellcaster, fiend | Fairy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are 11 Attributes (referred to as 'Summons' in-game due to text
limitations) of Monster Cards in this game. There are cards that only affect
monsters of a specific Attribute. Some Attributes are superior 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
Attribute attacks one with an inferior Attribute (or a monster with an inferior
Attribute attacks one with a superior Attribute), the monster with the superior
Attribute will always win, regardless of ATK and DEF strengths. For example,
when a Dark-Attribute Kuriboh battles a Light-Attribute Blue-Eyes White Dragon,
the Kuriboh will win, even though Kuriboh is a weak monster. Divine is the
only Attribute 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 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-Attribute 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 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-Attribute 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 left 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.
===============================================================================
5.04 - Deck Building
===============================================================================
This section contains information on how to construct a deck in this game.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Deck Building Screen
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
When you are at the Duelist Menu, you can select 'Trunk' and 'Deck' to see the
Trunk and Deck Screens, respectively. The former lists all the cards in the
game, while the latter lists only the cards in your deck. You can press the R
Button to scroll in groups of 50 cards on the Trunk Screen and in groups of 10
cards on the Deck Screen.
The Trunk Screen lists all the cards in the game. Your own cards are listed at
the top, while the cards that you don't have are listed at the bottom. You can
press the Start Button to see the Change Card Order menu. The card list can be
sorted by Number, Name, ATK, DEF, Type, Summon, Quantity, Cost, and Stars.

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.

5.05 - Duel Rules
===============================================================================
This section explains the duel rules. If you're only familiar with the
official rules of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, I advice reading it, since
the rules in this game are different to the ones in the real game.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
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.
Monster Rules
-------------
*You can only Normal Summon 1 monster to the field 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.
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.
===============================================================================
5.06 - 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

If you look at the Duel Screen Diagram above, you'll notice that it is
different to the one used in other Yu-Gi-Oh! games, such as Worldwide Edition
and World Championship Tournament 2004, since this game doesn't support the
official rules of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.

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.
*If you're having trouble summoning your strong monsters in a duel, there
are three cards that can help you summon them in one turn. These cards are
Monster Reborn, Brain Control and Change of Heart. Use them to steal your
opponent's monsters, and you'll be able to sacrifice them to summon your
stronger ones.
*If your opponent's deck is based on summoning the Egyptian God Cards, he/she
will probably have monsters with multiplying special abilities in his/her
deck. Ancient Lamp, Revival Jam, Doron and Toad Master are the most commonly
used multiplying monsters in a duel. Fortunately, three of them can be easily
taken down by Thunder-Summon monsters.
*If your opponent uses monsters, such as Big Shield Gardna and Millennium
Shield, to protect his/her Life Points, I advise playing Stop Defense to
switch his/her monsters from defence mode to attack mode. Although these
monsters excel in defence, their ATK Points are low.
*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.
*If your opponent specialises in using the same type of monster for duels, it
would be advantageous to put monsters in your deck that are superior to
his/hers. For example, a Light-Summon monster, such as Blue-Eyes White
Dragon, would be destroyed by a Dark-Summon monster, such as Kuriboh, even
though Kuriboh is a weak monster.
*The Kuriboh/Multiply combo is another 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. Place
Kuriboh on the field and activate Multiply. The whole field will now be
covered with Kuriboh. If you can keep three monsters on the field, you'll be
able to summon your God Card.
*If your opponent succeeds in summoning an Egyptian God Card, you can still
turn the tables. Amazon Archers, Spellbinding Circle, Shadow Spell, Mammoth
Graveyard, and Red Archery Girl can decrease its ATK. These cards can weaken
your opponent's Egyptian God Card, while you stall for time with Swords of
Revealing Light. If you can summon a strong monster, you'll be able to take
out the God Card.
*If your non-tribute monsters aren't as strong as your opponent's, I advice
filling your deck full of Magic and Trap Cards that can destroy his/her
monsters. Beckon to Darkness, Raigeki, and Crush Card are the best Magic
Cards. Infinite Dismissal, Amazon Archer, Bear Trap, Invisible Wire, Acid
Trap Hole, Widespread Ruin, and Torrential Tribute are the best Trap Cards.
If you put most of the above cards in your deck, you'll have an easier time
completing the game.
*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.
*If your opponent has strong monsters on the field, I suggest playing Swords of
Revealing Light or Messenger of Peace. The former Magic Card can prevent
your opponent's monsters from attacking for 3 turns. The latter Magic Card
can immobilize all monsters on your opponent's field with an ATK of 1,500 or
more for 1 turn.
*Try to have a lot of strong 4-Star 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 4-Star monsters, you'll avoid getting a 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 defeating a duelist, I suggest challenging Bonz
and Tristan for easy wins and Deck Capacity. When you have enough Capacity,
you can start putting Trap and Magic Cards to have an advantage over your
opponent. As long as you have these cards, it isn't necessary to use strong
non-tribute monsters to complete the game.
*When you are progressing through the game, I advice saving after every duel.
If you lose a rare Ante Card to someone, you can re-load your last save to get
it back. This game doesn't automatically save your progress, so you must save
to record it.
*If your opponent specialises in using certain monster types, you can use
specific monster destruction cards, such as Eternal Rest and Warrior
Elimination, in addition to your other cards to destroy them.
*Ritual Monsters are difficult to summon, since you must sacrifice the required
monsters to activate the particular Ritual Card. For example, Ultimate Dragon
Ritual requires you to sacrifice 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons to summon 1
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Although the majority of Ritual Monsters are
strong, it is much easier to summon strong Normal Monsters, since they don't
require you to sacrifice a specific monster to summon them.
*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 want to immobilize your opponent's monsters, I suggest adding a
Nemuriko to your deck. The Effect Monster can make all monsters on the
opponent's field fall asleep for 1 turn.
*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.
*Although the "Exodia Series" and Destiny Board/Spirit Message cards can help
you automatically win a duel, you need to be lucky to draw them. In this game,
you can only draw more cards by playing Pot of Greed or activating the special
abilities of certain Effect Monsters, so it is difficult to get the necessary
cards. I advice not using these cards in duels, since there is no guaranteed
way to place them in your hand.
*If you have filled your deck with three copies of the best Trap Cards in the
game and want to put more in, you can use Trap Master as an alternative. The
Effect Monster can set an Acid Trap Hole in your Magic/Trap Zone.
*If you have filled your deck with three copies of the best Magic Cards in the
game and want to put more in, you can use Effect Monsters, such as Fiend's
Hand and Beastking of the Swamps, as an alternative. These Effect Monsters
can destroy your opponent's monsters (excluding the Egyptian God Cards),
regardness of their ATK/DEF and Summon strengths.
*If you don't want to spend money purchasing a card at the Card Shop, check the
Character Decks sections to see whether or not a character uses the card in
his/her duelling deck. If a character does use 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.
*When you are progressing through the game, Bosses will give you 30 Deck
Capacity, while Re-Match Duelists will give you 10 DC (with the exception of
Tristan). 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 makes the game easy to
complete, since the useful cards have a low Duelist Level. Therefore, you
only need to challenge duelists repeatedly for a few hours to get enough DC.
*If you don't have money, I advise challenging duelists repeatedly. When you
defeat them, they will give you some Domino. The Domino that you receive
increases immensely towards the end of the game, since the Battle City
finalists 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.
###############################################################################
7. Walkthrough
###############################################################################
If you want to begin a new game, select New Game and you'll be prompted to name
the main character. If you want to continue a game, select Continue and you'll
appear at the Save Point in your house. Since this walkthrough is very long,
I've divided it into 7 chapters for easy navigation.
NOTE: 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.
===============================================================================
7.01 - Chapter 1: The Beginning of Battle City
===============================================================================
After you've named the main character, you'll start the game inside your house.
Once you finish your conversation with Yugi and Joey, leave the house and
listen to 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 challenge the anime duelists
(Yugi, Weevil, Mako, Mai, and Bonz) to a duel. After deciding not to duel
you at the moment, they will leave. Once they have all left, go to the
fountain and attempt to leave the area. As you hear the clock chiming, the
Battle City tournament will start.
Go to the Duelist Menu and look at your deck. Take out any monsters with 350
ATK or lower, and replace them with Magic Cards. The duelists in Clock Tower
Square will use monsters with 350 ATK or lower, so you'll have an advantage
against them if you can summon monsters with 500 ATK or higher.
At your house, you can use the Save Point to record game progress. You can
also challenge Tristan outside to practice dueling and increase your Deck
Capacity. 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. You can battle the duelists in Kaiba
Corporation, but I advise progressing through the game first, since they are
hard to defeat.
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Bakura
----------------
Bakura specialises in using Fiend, Earth, Dark and Fire-Attribute monsters.
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. If you can defeat Bakura, you'll recieve 3000 Domino, which is a lot of
money at this point in the game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now head for the Card Shop and talk to the shopkeeper to purchase some cards.
I advice buying three copies of Beckon to Darkness, Infinite Dismissal,
Eatgaboon, Bear Trap, Invisible Wire, and Acid Trap Hole. Although they are
cheap, these Magic and Trap Cards will be useful throughout the game. You can
also buy some Monster Cards with 900 ATK or higher to replace your monsters
with 350 ATK or lower.
===============================================================================
7.02 - Chapter 2: Obtaining the Locator Cards, Part 1
===============================================================================
When you have filled your deck with useful Monster, Trap and Magic Cards,
return to Clock Tower Square and walk into the cemetery. If Bonz isn't there,
defeat one of the three duelists south of the cemetery. Bonz should be at the
cemetery now, so challenge him to a duel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Bonz
--------------
Bonz specialises in using Fiend and Forest-Attribute 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After defeating Bonz, you recieve your second Locator Card (you received your
first Locator Card at the beginning of the game). You can duel him again if
you want to increase your Duelist Level and Deck Capacity. 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Joey
--------------
Joey specialises in using Fiend, Dream, Dark, Water, Earth and Forest-Attribute
monsters. 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now go to the fountain and take the northern route. 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 specialise in using Thunder, Wind, Forest, Earth, Fiend and Light-
Attribute monsters. Their non-tribute monsters have 700 ATK or less. The one
monster to watch out for is Espa's Jinzo. It can destroy all Trap Cards on the
field. Once you defeat Espa, you receive your third Locator Card.
Since you now have three Locator Cards, you can duel Rex Raptor. Rex
specialises in using Earth and Forest-Attribute 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-Attributes, so
you can use Wind monsters to destroy them. After defeating Rex, you obtain
your fourth Locator Card.
If you head for the cemetery, you'll see Bonz outside it. He reveals that a
Ghoul has taken over the cemetery. Walk into the cemetery and challenge the
Ghoul to a duel. He specialises in using Earth, Fiend, Water, Dream and Dark-
Attribute monsters. His non-tribute monsters have 1000 ATK or less. The
Ghoul has 1 set of "Exodia Series" cards in his deck, so I advice defeating him
quickly to prevent him from summoning Exodia to win the match.
Once you defeat the Ghoul, leave the cemetery. Bonz thanks you for getting rid
of the Ghoul and makes his way back to the cemetery. Go to the Domino City Map
and you'll notice that the Park can now be selected as your destination. When
you enter the Park, talk to Strings. He won't do anything for a while, so head
east to find Weevil and his gang. Weevil will tell you to defeat his followers
first before challenging him. They specialise in using Forest-Attribute and
Insect-Type monsters. After defeating Weevil's followers, challenge him to a
duel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Weevil
----------------
Weevil specialises in using Forest-Attribute 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. Pinch Hopper allows Weevil to summon any Insect-Type monster
in his hand, so watch out if he uses its special ability to summon Insect Queen
directly to the field.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
Now battle the other duelists at the Park to increase your Duelist Level and
Deck Capacity. Return to Clock Tower Square and go to the fountain. Head
south and talk to the duelist nearby. It seems there is a rumour going around
about the Card Shop. Go to the Domino City Map and travel to the Card Shop.
===============================================================================
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Arkana
----------------
Arkana specialises in using Fiend, Dark, Fire and Forest-Attribute 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Duel Computer
-----------------------
The Duel Computer specialises in using Wind, Thunder, Dark and Fiend-Attribute
monsters. 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can now access the Building and the Bridge on the Domino City Map. Travel
to the Building and speak with Joey inside. After talking to him, he'll leave.
Use the elevator to go to the first, second and third floor. I suggest
battling the duelists on those floors to increase your Duelist Level and Deck
Capacity. If you're having trouble defeating them, I advice purchasing
stronger Monster Cards from the Card Shop.
When you have defeated everyone in the Building, choose the Bridge as your
destination, and you'll see Seto Kaiba using his Blue-Eyes White Dragon to
defeat a duelist. Seto asks you to tell Yugi that he'll accept his challenge
anytime. Once Seto walks away, cross the wooden bridge and follow the path to
meet Strings, who challenges you to a duel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Strings
-----------------
Strings specialises in using Fiend and Water-Attribute 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
===============================================================================
After leaving the Bridge, you'll notice that the Aquarium can now be selected
as a destination on the Domino City Map. When you arrive there, enter the
aquarium and head north to see Mako using his Legendary Fisherman to defeat
Joey. If you 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-Attribute 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. When you beat Joey,
defeat the female duelist nearby. Head south to see a couple admiring the
view. Duel the girl first and then challenge her boyfriend. When you have
defeated everyone in the aquarium, attempt to duel Mako, and he'll accept your
challenge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Mako
--------------
Mako specialises in using Water-Attribute 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 to increase your Duelist Level and Deck Capacity.
===============================================================================
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 him 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 Town, 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, Aquarium, Bridge, and Art Gallery at least once. When
you hear the jingle after defeating one of them, you can leave that district
and go to the next one. The Ghouls in Clock Tower Square are found in the
alleyway where you dueled Espa Roba and in the cemetery where you dueled
Bonz.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Ghouls
----------------
The Ghouls specialise in using Fiend-Attribute monsters, so I suggest using
Light monsters to destroy them. Their monsters have 1200 ATK or less.
Fortunately, they can't take advantage of the Yami Field. The Ghouls have 1
set of the "Exodia Series" cards, but they probably won't get a chance to
summon Exodia to win the match.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Keith
---------------
Keith specialises in using Fiend, Dark and Fire-Attribute 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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. 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Lumis/Umbra
---------------------
Lumis and Umbra specialise in using Fiend and Dream-Attribute 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-Attributes, 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Dark Joey
-------------------
Joey specialises in using Light, Fire, Forest, Earth and Dream-Attribute
monsters. His non-tribute monsters have 1500 ATK or less. His Normal Monsters
should be easy to destroy, but his Effect Monsters 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 Card can reflect a
direct Life Point attack back at Joey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
===============================================================================
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Magnum
----------------
Magnum specialises in using Earth-Attribute 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Ishizu
----------------
Ishizu specialises in using Light and Dream-Attribute 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Seto
--------------
Seto specialises in using Fiend, Light, Water, Dark and Forest-Attribute
monsters. Since it's unpredictable to know which monsters Seto will summon
first, you probably won't have the correct monsters in your hand to able to
destroy them via Attribute advantage. 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 advice using a Dark-Attribute 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 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 to increase your Duelist Level and Deck Capacity.
If you head north and then left, you'll notice Mako watching the sea. You can
duel him to increase your Duelist Level and Deck Capacity if you want to.
Mako 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, so I suggest challenging them to increase your Level and Capacity.
The Battle City finalists' non-tribute monsters have 1800 ATK or less, so I
advice raising your DC until you can place strong non-tribute monsters in your
deck. I also suggest placing 3 Swords of Revealing Light cards in your deck.
They can stop your opponent from attacking for 3 turns. Monster destruction
cards, such as Crush Card and Raigeki, are excellent for clearing the field of
your opponent's monsters. Trap Cards, such as Widespread Ruin and Amazon
Archers, can stop your opponent's monsters from destroying yours. On your next
turn, you can sacrifice your monsters to summon stronger ones to the field.
===============================================================================
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).
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. You can go to any district on
the Domino City Map if you want to re-construct your deck. When you are ready
to challenge 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Odion
---------------
Odion specialises in using Earth and Water-Attribute 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, but Breath of Light is perfect for destroying 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 via Summon advantage.
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 has the power to cut Odion's Life Points to 1
and hit the opponent with the Life Point amount that 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Yami Yugi
-------------------
Yugi specialises in using Dream, Dark, Earth, Fiend, Water and Wind-Attribute
monsters. 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 advice 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 has 1 set of the "Exodia Series" cards, but it's doubtful he'll be able to
summon Exodia if you keep destroying his monsters every turn. 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 sacrifice three monsters to
summon Obelisk the Tormentor. Obelisk's special ability can destroy the
powerful God Card once and for all. You can also use Reflect Bounder's special
ability to counterattack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Yami Marik
--------------------
Marik specialises in using Dark-Summon, Fiend-Summon, Wind-Summon and
Earth-Summon monsters. His non-tribute monsters have 1800 ATK or less. His
Fiend-Type monsters can take advantage of the Yami Field, so I advice changing
the playing field to benefit your own monsters. Marik has 3 Harpie's Feather
Dusters in his deck, so I advice 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. The Winged Dragon of Ra has the power to cut Marik's Life
Points to 1 and hit the opponent with the Life Point amount that 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. Unfortunately, they can
take advantage of the Yami Field, so I advice either changing the playing field
to benefit your own monsters or using your Magic/Trap Cards to destroy them.
Your Crush Cards and Torrential Tributes will be able to take them out easily.
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 special 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
realises that he lost to Marik. Joey asks who won it all, and Yugi admits that
the Main Character 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 the Main Character for saving him.
Congratulations! You have completed Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards! Now enjoy the
ending. Towards the conclusion, Ishizu will ask you to hand over the Egyptian
God Cards to her. Agree. Watch the credits roll and you'll eventually see
"The End" on the screen.

8. My Duelling Deck
###############################################################################
This section describes the duelling deck that I use in this game. If you're
having trouble progressing through the game, you can use my deck. If you just
starting the game, I advise using Eatgaboons, Bear Traps, Invisible Wires and
Widespread Ruins, since they are very cheap. As you progress through the game,
you can start replacing your weaker Magic and Trap Cards with more powerful
ones. Crush Cards will be more useful towards the end of the game, since your
opponents will summon monsters with 1500 ATK or more to the field. If you
haven't obtained the two Egyptian God Cards yet, you can use strong tribute
monsters as substitutes. If you use this deck, you will have an easier time
defeating the final duelists in the game.

11. 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 The Winged Dragon of Ra is programmed into the game, you can't
use it in this game through normal gameplay, since Ishizu takes the Egyptian
God Cards after you defeat Marik. You can, however, use a Gameshark code to
get the God Card. 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: I have obtained my fifth Locator Card, but I can't access any new districts
on the Domino City Map. I can only go to Clock Tower Square, Card Shop, Art
Gallery, and Park. Why?
A: Go to the fountain in Clock Tower Square and take the southern route.
Battle the duelist nearby if you haven't already. Speak with him to
discover that there is a rumour going around about the Card Shop. Travel
to Card Shop and duel Arkana. You should now be able to continue the
story.
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 monsters can I only summon after sacrificing a monster?
A: Generally, 5-6 Star monsters require one sacrifice, 7-8 Star monsters
require two sacrifices, and 9-12 Star monsters require three sacrifices.
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 rare Ante Cards from the duelists?
A: Bet your strongest cards to get rare Ante Cards as prizes. Generally,
you should bet cards that have a high Duelist Level to receive rare ones.
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: To increase your Duelist Level, you must challenge a duelist three times in
a row. For example, if you challenge Tristan three times in a row, your
Duelist Level will go up by one.
Q: I inputed a card password into the Password Machine, but I didn't recieve
the card. How come?
A: After you enter a card password, you must buy it from the shopkeeper before
you can use it.
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 special ability?
A: You can activate a monster's special ability 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 special abilities 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: Which duelists should I challenge to increase my Deck Capacity more
quickly and easily?
A: I suggest challenging Bonz, since he gives you 10 Deck Capacity each time
you defeat him. You can also duel Mako, Rex, Weevil, and the Duel
Computer if your non-tribute monsters have 1300 ATK or more. Tristan is a
good opponent to duel if you have just started the game.
Q: Did Konami re-release this game?
A: Yes. This game was re-released on a compilation entitled Yu-Gi-Oh! Double
Pack. The compilation contains The Sacred Cards and Reshef of Destruction.
This FAQ was written using the original game, but it can be used for
Yu-Gi-Oh! Double Pack's version as well.
Q: After I complete the game, can I use the Egyptian God Cards in any duel?
A: Yes. The following information shows the duelists you can challenge and
where you can duel them:
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
declare attacks, activate abilities and/or sacrifice with face-up 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 Viser Des?
A: No. These cards will always target the strongest monster on your
opponent's field.
