Hint: Slot rares:
When using the Graveyard Slot Machine after you wina duel, get three cards in a line and get a slot rare. For example,get three Pumpkings to get a Toon Summoned Skull. Note: Gettingthree of the same cards in the slots does not always guaranteethe same outcome. For example, 3 Rude Kaisers may result in anAnti-Magic Fragrance, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Gorgon's Eye, etc.

Hint: Improved odds in Graveyard Slots:
Copy Cat, Mimicat, and Monster Reborn allow you tomanipulate the content of your opponent's Graveyard and help narrowdown it down for the Graveyard Slots (revived cards go to thereviver's Graveyard when destroyed). Paralyzing Potion is anothereffective way to get monsters out of the way without sending themto the Graveyard, thus improving your odds in the Graveyard Slots.

This trick can only be used when there is only one monster inthe Graveyard possible of getting, as when you use the "EditMap" trick. When using the slot machine, you can see thearrows on the side. As you can see, they are usually blinking.When they disappear, the card is on the other side of the slot.You can use this to your advantage.

Place the needed card in your deck and destroy it in a custombattle (for example, Komori Dragon for the Blue-Eyes White Dragonor Dark Magician for the Dark Magician Girl). It may be helpfulto place more than one card in the deck for higher chances ofgetting the desired card.

Note: This trick requires a monster with the Hidden Find ability.This will only work with magic cards. It is recommended you trythis after you have completed both sides. First, get a monster(such as Pumpking) ranked high enough to where it gains the HiddenFind ability. Then, play against Shadi and move your deck leaderto the exact center square. A screen will appear, stating thatyou have found the hidden treasure, Souleater. Finish the duel,or if you are in a hurry, surrender. Go to "Custom Duel".Next, put Souleater in your deck, and three of any magic card(such as Silver Bow And Arrow, Beast Fangs, etc.). Start a custombattle, and go through the deck until you come across Souleater.Place it in face-up defense. This will activate its special skill.Next, play any high level monster onto the field and have it attackyour opponent's defense position monsters. Wipe them off the field.Make sure you do not attack any offensive monsters or the deckleader until the opponent has played the three magic cards fromhis deck and gotten them into his graveyard. Once the three magiccards are in his graveyard, go after the deck leader and wipeout its LP to win the duel. When you now go into the GraveyardSlots, there will just be the three magic cards in it. This isalso useful in getting more immortal monsters and possibly evensome unique rares.

Build a deck with rare cards that do not appear in slots suchas Exodia pieces, Barrel Dragons, etc. Also, some magic and trapcards do not appear in the slots. Next, put in as many of thecard that you want to try to get three in a row in the deck, suchas Swordstalker, Piercing Light, Red Eyes Black Dragon, etc. Then,go to custom duel and duel yourself. All that should be in theslots are the three non-rare cards. Try using Swordstalker asthe leader, Brigidier, because he has three chances and have threeof him in the slots. You will get about four to five trap cardsand four Swordstalkers in the slots.

Get Souleater. Mass combo cards until you draw it, then use itsability to rid the graveyard of all but the card you want in theslots. Be sure to put three of the magic card in your deck. Bepatient with it, but in the long run, it is well worth the time.

Hint: New card picture:
Any time that you gain a card through lining up threeof a kind in the Graveyard Slots, you will get a new picture forthat card in your chest. Some examples include: Blue Eyes WhiteDragon, Red Eyes Black Dragon, Summoned Skull, Gemini Elf, andFlame Swordsman.

Hint: Ritual monsters:
When using the Graveyard Slot machine after battle,get three cards that are required to get a ritual monster. Ifyou do, you will get that ritual monster as well as the threecards. For example, win against Bones at Exeter and in the GraveyardSlots, get any Insect, Machine, and Zombie monster. Note: Thecards only appear in the slots if they are used in battle; duelagainst opponents that have ritual cards.

Hint: Baby Dragon: Reincarnation:
If You Reincarnate Baby Dragon, you can get Exodiapieces. This may require a few attempts.

Hint: Black Luster Ritual:
You can obtain the Black Luster Ritual via the graveyardslots and not have to line up three Curse Of Dragons. Wait untilYugi summons the ritual to the field, destroy it, and obtain itin the slots.

Hint: Blue Eyes or a Dark Magician Girl:
You must either have a Dark Magician or a Red Eyesas a leader and have completed both the Red and White Rose chaptersto unlock the edit map for the custom duel. If you what a MagicianGirl, your leader must be the Dark Magician; Red Eyes for BlueEyes. Then go to the "Edit Map" option at the customduel selection. Then, build the following terrain, where "N"indicates normal and "L" indicates labyrinth. N N L N L N N N N L L L N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N

Battle at that terrain. When you begin, press Start. Whenit is your opponent's turn, he will surrender. When you get tothe Graveyard Slot part, get three Dark Magicians or three RedEyes to get the Magician Girl or the Blue Eyes. You can also usethis terrain to get your deck leader a promotion.

Hint: Millennium Shield: Strong attack:
You first need to have the Curse of the MillenniumRitual and three monsters over 2000 DEF. When you summon the MillenniumShield, make sure you have a Shield And Sword Magic card so thatyou can switch out the shield's defense to its attack, givingit a 4000 ATK.

Hint: Mirror Wall:
Mirror Wall (DC: 80) is a powerful card. Use it againsta Blue Eyes. If any card (in this case Blue Eyes) attacks anyof your cards, its attack is cut in half, making a Blue Eyes ATK1500. If the card attacks again, it will be halved again, (BlueEyes ATK 750). Blue Eyes can now be killed by the weakest monstersin the game.

Hint: Royal Decree: Reincarnation:
If you reincarnate a Royal Decree, it will give youthree Suijins.

Hint: Steel Scorpion: Reincarnation:
Reincarnate a Steel Scorpion to get a Right Arm Ofthe Forbidden One (Exodia piece). This may require several attemptsbecause of the frequency that Fake Trap appears.

Hint: Steel Scorpion: Deck leader:
Level up a Steel Scorpion to Second Lieutenant andput it as your deck leader. Then, level it up to Major and youwill have two abilities (increased movement/same type friendliesand open opponent's cards in summoning range) as well as the extratop slot ability.

Hint: Swordstalker: Stronger attack:
An easy way to give Swordstalker a strength of 3800power attack points or more is to sacrifice all the monsters inyour deck. Due to Swordstalker's special effect, it will becomestronger than those of the CPU.

If you have mainly a monster deck with three Swordstalkers, thistrick will be very useful. Start by repeatedly trying to combineall of your monsters except for your Swordstalkers. Then, tryto send out your Swordstalkers. It will have a power of a 6300/5900or more. Try making multiple fusions with one card and destroythe card. For example, Zombie + Warrior = Skull knight + Hardarmor = Armored Zombie. You will have four cards gone insteadof three. Do not forget to destroy your last card with your ownleader.

Try to gain a card called Darkness Falls. It is a magic card thatlets you flip all cards face down. Next, go to custom battle andmake your CPU opponent play it or use it. Get it multiple timesin the card slots, then get a Swordstalker (or two or three) inyour deck. Put the Swordstalker on the field and discard all ofyour monster cards (not Swordstalker) and magic/trap cards (notDarkness Falls). Flip your Swordstalker to make its attack become6,000. Use Darkness Falls to flip it face down then flip it upagain so that its attack is now at 10,000. Flip it over againface down with Darkness Falls and flip it face up to make it havean outstanding attack power of 14,000, which is enough to killthree Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragons together (13,500) Finally, useyour last Darkness Falls to flip it down again. Flip it up tomake the monster have 18,000 attack points. Also, use Copycatand The Magician Of Faith to increase it even more by recoveringmore Darkness Falls to make the ultimate monster. In the end ofall the recovery of cards and power increases, Swordstalker willhave a total of 36,000 ATK and 32,000 DEF.

Note: Note a monster cannot exceed an Attack or Defense valueabove 9999.

Hint: Swordstalker: Extra Graveyard SlotChance:
Just like the Dark Magician and Slot Machine monstercards, Swordstalker can learn the Hidden Ability to match up threecards on the top row as well as the middle row when it reachesthe rank of Major (one star with one yellow line). However, unlikethe Dark Magician and Slot Machine, Swordstalker gains the abilityto match up three cards in the bottom row as well when it reachesthe rank of Brigadier (one star with three yellow lines).

Hint: Suijin: Reincarnation:
If you reincarnate Suijin, you will naturally get goodcards. However, the real payoff is that you can get Sanga andKazejin. You can get them both at the same time.

Hint: Zoa and Metalzoa:
Face J. Shadi in a match and destroy his Zoa card.Do not use Monster Reborn on Zoa. Just get Zoa in the GraveyardSlots then face Joey. Defeat him and make sure you destroy a Metalmorph.Win Metalmorph in the slots and combine it with Zoa to get Metalzoa(3000/2400).

You can also get Zoa and Metalzoa from Bandit Keith, but it mayrequire a few attempts as he does not play it frequently.

Hint: Hidden card:
In most maps, there is a hidden card somewhere on themap. In order to get these cards you must move your Deck Leaderover a specific location on the map. You may have to completethe game as both sides for these cards to appear. For example,in all the battles at Stone Henge, move your Deck Leader to thecenter of the map, in between all the labyrinth terrain. Thereshould be a different card there against each opponent.

To be able to find and get the hidden cards on the field duringa duel, your deck leader must be ranked as a Major (one star andone yellow line) or better. You must also have a deck cost thatis lower than 1000.

Hint: Hidden card locations:
To find the cards, your deck leader has to have theability to find cards (Hidden Ability) and you need to have completedboth sides of the story.

The Field layout is as follows:

A
B
C
D
E
F
G
*1 2 3 4 5 6 7

The following are the locations and cards acquired:

Mai-E7: Dust Tornado
Yugi-D1: Carat Idol
Bakura-A7: Shape Snatch
Joey-E7: Rigras Leever
Mako-E6: Time Eater
Tea-E5: Servant of Catabolism
Grandpa-C4: Dharma Cannon
Necromancer-A1: Eternal Rest
Weevil-D7: Eradicating Aerosol
Rex Raptor-A7: Cold Wave
Panik (Darkness Ruler)-B6: -Exile of the Wicked
Isthar-D4: Jowls of Demise
Tristan-D5: Novox Prayer

Bandit Keith-C4: Strain Storm
Shadi-D4: Souleater
Labyrinth Ruler-A7: Catapult Turtle
King-B4: Warrior Elimination
Final Bosses-D4: ???
Kaiba-D4: Moisture Creature

Many of the monsters are Immortal Type (strong in crush territory)and very powerful in terms of their effects (Souleater is great).Most of the magic cards are those that destroy all monsters ofa specific type (usually the type primarily used by the opponentyou get the card against, for example, Cold Wave, obtained againstRex Raptor, kills all dinosaur type monsters).

Hint: Gain doubles of your cards:
This trick requires only one memory card in the memorycard slot. Go into the custom duel and set your deck up so thatyour best cards are in there. Both you and the CPU's decks willhave the same cards in them. When you win, the slot machine willbe there and you can get your best cards repeatedly. This is veryuseful with Red Eyes, Blue Eyes and other cards that your haveonly one copy of.

Use the following trick to duplicate cards and promote weak monsters.A second memory is not required. Go to vs. duel and Duel MasterK. Make the card you want to duplicate your leader, play the DuelMaster in the default crush field. Note: Make sure you have somemonsters under 1500 ATK. Do not use any field cards. Instead,Duel Master K will at the most send out one or two monsters. Destroythese and defeat him in battle. Because he has the exact samedeck as you, he will have the same deck leader. In the slots,the deck leader will be there. Get the monster you want in theslots. The battle is easy. The longer the battle the better, asthis helps promote weak monsters.

Hint: Get any card:
This trick requires two memory cards and two controllers.Start a file on the first memory card then save as soon as possible.Then, on the second memory card, start a file and save. Next,go back to the first memory card and choose "Trade"with both memory cards inserted. You can now trade the weakestcards in your deck for the strongest in the other deck. Afterthis, you can do it again by starting a new file or battling duelistson the second memory card.

Hint: Getting good or rare cards:
Use the following trick to multiply your good cards,get rare cards, and practice the Graveyards Slots. After clearingthe game, the "Edit" option appears in a custom duel.You can edit the terrain to make all of the summoning spaces aroundyour opponent labyrinth. Once the duel starts, pass your turnand your opponent will be forced to forfeit. You will then beable to play the slots with only your deck leader (against DeckMaster K) in with nine Fake Traps.

Hint: Promote cards:
Use the following trick to promote cards under 1,500attack. Once you have completed the White Rose and Red Rose sides,save the game and go to "Custom Duel" at the main menu.Only have one memory card in use. Create a B or C deck. Have alot of strong cards in your deck above 1,500 except the card youwant promoted. Have three of that card in your deck. Go to mapedit mode and create a map as follows (C= Crush, L = Labyrinth,N = Normal). L L L L L L L L L C C L L N L L C L L L N L L N N L L N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N

Once you draw the card you want, move it in front of your opponent'sdeck leader and attack until you win. Keep repeating and you willeventually get it promoted. Also, move other cards around on thefield face up (not in crush) and you might get them promoted aswell. Each time they get promoted, it will take longer to raisetheir rank.

Hint: Getting magic or trap cards:
Go to the custom duel and assemble any desired deckwith only contain magic or trap cards. Go to map edit mode andcreate a map as follows (N = Normal, L = Labyrinth) N L N N N L N N L N N N L N N N L N L N N N N L N L N N N N L N L N N N N N N N N N

When you play, your opponent will not move (as he is using thesame cards). He will set out magic and will not use or move them.You can take him out whenever desired by surrounding him.

Hint: Easy custom duel:
Use the following in custom duel (N = Normal, L = Labyrinth). Note you will not be able to move your Deck Leader. N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N L L L N N N N L N L N N N L N L L N

Your opponent will not be able to attack your Life points directly,unless you both have Shadow Ghoul. You will still be able to summonmonsters to the field. If you have a card that you cannot affordto lose, preferably Mirror Force, or a card that you want, putit to the right of the field for safety.

Hint: Move two squares at a time:
When a monster gets a Terrain Field boost, flip itface up and it is allowed to move two squares at a time.

Hint: Unlimited flip effects:
Play a Magician Of Faith or Mask Of Darkness in theface down position, but do not move it or change its position.Then, use the magic card Darkness Approaches. This will flip allyour cards face down. Now, flip the Mask Of Darkness or MagicianOf Faith card up and revive Darkness Approaches. On your nextturn, you can use it again to turn the Mask Of Darkness or MagicianOf Faith face down. Flip the Magician Of Faith or Mask OfDarknesscard up again and revive Darkness Approaches, which you can useon your next turn. Then, add a Mystical Elf into the equation;Mystical Elf, Darkness Approaches, Mask Of Darkness or MagicianOf Faith, in that order. The Mystical Elf's flip effect is an800 point power bonus to all your light monsters, and if you useher before Darkness Approaches, you can flip her again on yournext turn. With three Mystical Elfs, your light monsters gain2400 attack and defense every round. Note: It is recommended thatyou use the Magician Of Faith card, as it will receive the powerbonus that the Mask Of Darkness will not.

Hint: Lower opponent's monsters attackquickly:
Move Mirror Wall either to the far bottom left squareor far bottom right square. Put your leader next to it. Startsecuring your leader and Mirror Wall with monsters. Start advancingweak trap or magic cards (for example, Fake Trap, Forest). MirrorWall will activate and your opponent's monsters will be too weakto battle. You will still get the monsters in the Graveyard, sinceyour opponent attacks all facedown cards.

Get a Mirror Wall and put it somewhere. Then, put a magic cardthat you do not need somewhere near it so that it will attack.Once it tries to attack, Mirror Wall will activate, cut its Attackin half, and just move on the magic card. You can also use a weakmonster in defense mode.

Hint: Raise your monster's rank easily:
Depending on which monster you have, you should goagainst certain opponents. If the monster you want to raise inrank has an attack power of 2000 to 2500, play against Tristan.If it is lower then that, then play against Tea. If it is higher,go against Joey. First, have as many of that monster in your deck,then kill every monster with that card. Do not add power-ups orattack the opponent's LP with magic cards. You can then have moretime killing the other monsters. Remember to kill the opponent'sdeck leader personally with the card you want to raise in rank.This will usually give you a big boost for raising your rank.

To obtain a very powerful monster you need to have a map withToon terrain (preferably close to your summoning area) and a terrainthat favors your monsters (such as Mountain if you have the Birdfacedeck). You also need a very strong monster, lots of power-up cards,and a Greenkappa. Summon your Greenkappa and move him onto theToon terrain. Then, summon a very powerful monster on its terrain(for example, Meteor B. Dragon on Mountain), and equip your equipcards to your strong monster. After that, flip up your Greenkappaon the Toon terrain. Because of its effect, it will copy the attackof the strongest monster on the field (which should be your monster).Greenkappa will copy the attack on the Toon terrain, which shouldbe about 4500. Then, move your Greenkappa off the Toon terrainand his attack will increase by 500, making it about 5000. Ifyou now move your Greenkappa onto Grassland, his attack will increaseby another 500 points, making it 5500. You can continue to strengthenit with power ups such as Konai With Chain, but only equip cardsafter you have capped your other monster's attack. Now you havean unstoppable monster.

Hint: Level up your deck leaders:
Note: This trick requires the Map Edit option and acontroller with a auto-fire or slow feature. First, build Labyrintharound your opponent, except for one space. Put the monsters thatyou want to level up on the field. Make sure you use Ookazi orTremendous Fire, etc. Set the controller on auto-fire or slowfor Start. When the battle is over, you will have moreDeck Leaders.

First, get a monster as your deck leader. Complete both sidesof the game and have a PlayStation memory card with Yu-Gi-Oh!Forbidden Memories data in slot two and a PlayStation2 memorycard with Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists Of Roses data in slot one.You should be going again Exodia. Get three of the same monsteras your deck leader to the field. Attack all cards with the selectedmonster that you want to level up. Attack the opponent's deckleader after all cards on the other side are in the graveyard.To help you against Exodia, put in Heavy Storm, Dark Hole, WhiteHole, Royal Decree, and lots of Graverobbers, Monster Reborns,and Mimicats.

Get the Fairy King Truesdale Deck. Then, put in the code for FairyKing Truesdale (YF07QVEZ). Put the Fairy King Truesdalecard in your deck. It should automatically have a rank of SecondLt.

Hint: Change deck sort:
Hold Select at the deck sort screen and youcan change how it sorts by pressing L2 or R2.

Hint: Easy win:
Use the passwords to get Crush Card (SRA7L5YR),Mimicat (69YDQM85), Magician Of Faith (GME1S3UM),and Royal Decree (8TETQHE1). Reincarnate Crush Card toget Just Desserts. Keep combining the cards that not listed inthis tip until you get the ones needed. Do not use Just Dessertsuntil your opponent has five cards on the field and you have RoyalDecree on the field. Use Just Desserts and inflict 1500 pointsof direct damage. The total damage will be 4500, which is morethan enough. This strategy is effective against Grandpa if youwant an Exodia deck.

Once you have completed the White Rose and Red Rose sides, savethe game and go to "Custom Duel" at the main menu. Onlyhave one memory card in use. Go to map edit mode. Build a mapwith all your opponents summoning squares filled with labyrinth.Start a duel. End your turn at the beginning. After your opponentends his turn, you will win. If your deck leader has a high rankand an attack under 2600, he will be in the slots. Keep repeatingand eventually you will get three in a row if your timing is correctto win special cards such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Toon SummonedSkull, Cannon Soldier, etc.

Get a Thunder monster and a Dragon monster (good cards like KaiserDragon and Thunder Dragon recommended), then combine them to getTwin-Headed Thunder Dragon (2800/2100). Then, use Bright Castleand get it on water, sea, or anything else wet and attack.

Have three Pumpkings in your deck, along with a lot of strongzombies (such as the Great Mammoth Of Golfine) and crush cards.The zombies can go through the Crush zones without getting hurt,no matter how strong they are. The Pumpking will give the zombies100 attack and defense points for every Pumpking in play at thebeginning of your turn. It helps to have other cards to make morePumpkings.

Have three Slate Warriors in your deck and the Crush card alongwith a few cards that can use the Crush card. The Gust Fan isalso a useful optional power-up for Slate Warrior. Place the SlateWarriors out, but wait to flip them face up until you have allthree out, if possible. Once all three are out, flip them faceup to give each one a 1500 power bonus, making them 3400 ATK andabout 1900 DEF. Along with the Gust Fan you have 3700, not tomention the Field Power bonus. If they move onto the crush terrainthat your weaker monster made with the Crush card, it makes agrand total of 4200 ATK. Even if your opponent manages to defeatone, the enemy will be destroyed by the crush terrain.

Hint: Reincarnate card:
If you surrender five times, you will be able to reincarnatea card in your chest which will allow you to build your deck.

Note: Getting five wins also lets you reincarnate a card.

Press L3 to reincarnate.

Hint: Reincarnate more than three cardsfrom one:
When you get to the point of reincarnating cards, copyyour game to a second memory card. Continue on the copied gameand reincarnate a card. Save your game and exit. Place both thecopied save game and the original saved game in the PlayStation2and trade the reincarnated cards from the copy to the original.You now have three new cards, and still can reincarnate a card.

Hint: Repeatedly reincarnate:
To do this trick, you must have activate the reincarnateoption after you have played with the CPU five or more times.Save your game before going to reincarnate. Reincarnate any desiredcard, and if you did not like it, go to the main menu withoutsaving your previous reincarnation. Then, go to "Continue"to try it again. Repeat this processes as many times as neededuntil you get the desired cards.

Before reincarnating, save the game and copy it to a second memorycard. Then, go to "Build Deck", reincarnate, then savethe game. Go to "Trade", then select the new cards andsend them to the second memory card. Press Start on controllertwo. No cards are required to trade for the new cards. Turn offthe PlayStation2, then turn it back on and copy the game fromthe second memory card to the first memory card. You now havenew cards, plus the reincarnate ability Repeat this process toreincarnate all cards possible and never lose one.

Hint: Reincarnating high deck cost cards:
When you reincarnate cards of 45 points or more, Sujinsbecome the Fake Trap..... When reincarnating cards of 55 pointsor more, Sujins and Wide Spread Ruin are the Fake Traps.

Hint: Duplicating cards:
First, complete both sides of the game and have thecard you want duplicated as the deck leader. Then, create a terrainlike this: NNLNLNN NNNNNNN NNNNNNN NNNNNNN NNNNNNN NNNNNNN NNNNNNN

Select "End" and your opponent will surrender. Then,go to the slots and line up your deck leader and you will getit. Note: This only works with certain cards.

Hint: Countering Mirror Force:
When dueling against people with Mirror Force suchas Yugi, put your trap cards in defense mode so they cannot bedestroyed.

Hint: Defeating Fab Lyrr:
Use Royal Decree, Mirror Wall, and some good monsterscards in your deck.

Make sure you have a Green Kappa monster in your deck (or moreif possible). Fab Lyrr will most likely start off by playing Riroku(power-up that uses half of your LP to power up his monster) anda Skull Knight or something similar with over 2000 ATK. Once thatmonster is on the field, go into the crush territory with yourleader, play the Green Kappa face down until you are in strikingrange of his leader, and attack. The Green Kappa's effect willincrease his attack to over 4000 and destroy his leader in oneshot.

First, make a deck with Royal Decree, Mirror Wall, Mimecat, MagicianOf Faith, Monster Reborn, Meteor Black Dragon, Slate Warrior,Infinite Dimension, Conversion Factory, Robot Knight, Cyber Commander,Barrel Dragon, Limit Remover, Green Kappa, any terrain cards,and any other desired cards. Change the terrain in the middleof the field. Then, use Slate Warrior to make the part with thelabyrinth near the opponent's deck leader to crush terrain. Ifyou see a fusion, it is most likely a Black Meteor Dragon (3500/3000).If you see a monster with a power boost of 2000 and, for exampleforce, then duel carefully; he uses Rioku (half of the opponent'sLP to boost your own monster). Put Mirror Wall in a corner soit is harder for him to reach. Also try this power combo: BarrelDragon face up (destroys a card on the field; hopefully not yours)equipped with Conversion Factory with Cyber Commander in defensemode and Robot Knight in defense mode. Then use Limit Remover.Your Barrel Dragon should be strong enough to take on a BlackMeteor Dragon. Use Infinite Dimension for protection. If you getthese cards on field or hand: Magician Of Faith, Green Kappa,Monster Reborn, Meteor Black Dragon, Mimecat, Royal Decree, thenthe duel is over. First. revive his Red Eyes Black Dragon thenfuse it with Meteor Dragon to get your own Black Meteor Dragon.Then, activate Magician Of Faith's ability a use Rioku on yourMeteor Dragon. Next, do the same with Mimecat and your Black MeteorDragon should have a total of 6500/6000. Then use Royal Decreeto cancel any of his traps. Finally, play Green Kappa face upin attack mode and it should have the same attack as your BlackMeteor Dragon (7000/6500).

Hint: Defeating Jasper Dice Tudor:
First, defeat the Labyrinth Ruler until you get a ShadowGhoul or two, Then, go to Tudor and use the Shadow Ghoul. Enterthe labyrinth areas to turn it into a Wall Shadow, then use RebornThe Monster or Mimicat (Magician Of Faith to get back magic cards)to go and dig out Shadow Ghoul again and make another Wall Shadow.Do this as many times as needed(at least twice recommended, butthree is best). Then, use the Shield And Sword card to switchthe Shadow Ghouls attack and defense and give it 3,000 attackpoints. Also, use the Ancient Tree Of Enlightenment or a RoyalDecree to keep traps from getting the Wall Shadows. The AncientTree Of Enlightenment is better, because you can turn it off byswitching to attack mode after you move (turn it back on at thebeginning of your next turn before you move) in case you havetrap cards such as Shadow Of Eyes, Mirror Wall, or Goblin Fanout. The following are the card numbers that are recommended:043, 123, 152, 655, 685, 687, (699, 824), 705, 736, 754, 814,829.

Set Goblin Fan down and move it to one of your corners. When heuses Just Deserts, he will destroy himself. You can also use MagicianOf Faith and Copycat after he uses Just Deserts and play it againsthim.

Hint: Defeating Labyrinth Ruler:
You will need a field card or a monster card that canchange the field type, such as Curse Of Drangon. You will needthis card to destroy the crush card field to get to his deck leader.Get about two of these cards for both sides of the field. However,sometimes he will summon Labyrinth Wall to you. In this situtation,pack your deck with magic cards that attack your opponent's lifepoints. Note: You may have to win by default, because he has acard which gives him 1000 life points.

Hint: Defeating Pegasus:
Have Ancient Tree Of Enlightenment in face up defenseposition. His effect allows no Trap cards to be activated whenin this position. Use Aqua Dragon powered up with Horn Of Light.Move him into the Toonland terrain and keep advancing to Pegasus'deck leader. When your opponent attacks (or when you attack),Aqua Dragon's effect will be activated. The square occupied byAqua Dragon will be turned into sea. This boosts Aqua Dragon'sattack by 1000 points (up by 500 for not being in Toon, whichdecreases its attack and another 500 for terrain bonus). His attackwill be 3250, which should be enough to defeat anything. You canalso use the water as a path for Suijin or other water monsters.Pegasus has no Rose card to give you.

Hint: Defeating Weevil:
Take the Mirror Wall card, put it in your deck, anduse it. Make sure you have a good deck like a Machine. For example,Flame "Robotic Knight" and when he attacks, the ATKpower will be cut in half. Make sure you do not attack them orMirror Wall will not work. Earthshaker is also a good card toattack with when get close to his leader.

Hint: Crush territory:
When you play in the crush territory, you can onlyplay monsters with an attack power of 1500 -- be careful.

Zombie type monsters are allowed to go through the crush territory.They do not need to have a certain attack.

Monsters like the Aqua Dragon and the Roaring Ocean Snake canengage in battle in crush spaces due to their effects. When thesecards engage in battle, they transform the space into ocean terrainwhich lets them attack monsters hiding in crush spaces. This guaranteesmajor damage because the target card must be 1500 AP or lowerto hide in a crush space (with the exception of immortal types).

Use the following trick to attack monsters on crush squares. Youneed an Aqua Dragon, with equips if you need it to defeat themonster. Then, go next to the crush square and attack the monster.When you do this, Aqua Dragon's effect will transform the squareinto a water square, giving you a boost and taking a crush squareaway. It also allows you to move two spaces.

Hint: Immortal monsters:
Aside from the normal monsters that have less than1500 ATK and can survive in the Crush territory, there are ImmortalType monsters that can both enter the area, regardless of AttackPower, and gain a field power bonus of +500 points. When thesemonsters are destroyed in battle, they turn the surrounding spacesinto Crush territory, literally leaving their mark.

Get a Great Mammoth Of Goldfine faced up spell bound.

Glitch: Face-up monsters face-down:
Have a face-up monster on the field and White Holeface-down on the field. If you or your opponent activates a DarkHole Magic card, White Hole will automatically activate and allyour opponents monsters will be destroyed except for yours. Whenthis is done, your monster(s) that were face-up on the field willappear face-down but will have the same effects (if any) of aface-up card.

Glitch: Barrel Dragon behavior:
After completing either the White or the Red Rose questand starting the other, Barrel Dragon forgets which side you areon. Instead of randomly destroying one of your opponent's monsterswhen flipped, it will destroy one of yours instead. This worksagainst the CPU when the CPU uses Barrel Dragon also.

Glitch: Misspelling:
In the instruction manual, it should read "DeckReader" instead of "Deck Leader".
