(05/27/09) -------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ABOUT THE GUIDE [ATG] ~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------- This is a Walkthrough I made to help you beat Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's SA story mode. Here I will tell you step by step where to go and how to solve puzzles that you encounter in the story mode, however I wont help you if you got problems beating someone in a duel. If you wonder Why I wont do such thing is because in this game there a LOTS of cards, therefore making a lot of combinations possible so I cant list all of them and neither can list all of them, since the cards you get are random besides the starting ones. Hope you find useful this guide. A thing to notice about this guide is that I tried to keep SPOILERS as low as possible if not non-existant, so dont worry about youself getting spoiled. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ INTRODUCTION [INTR] ~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------- If you know nothing about Yu-Gi-Oh! or havent ever played a game then you are probably wondering how to play, if you simply turn on the game and go into the World Championship mode, there you can find a Tutorial. It is very helpful so it should be enough to get you started. If you need help constructing a deck I would suggest building the basic one, it consists of strong monsters that are level 4 or less (so you can summon without tributing) like 2 or 3 higher level monsters and trap/spell cards that can destroy your opponent's monster with the ones you consider helpful. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ ADVICES/TIPS [ADV]~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------- - Keep your deck as close to 40 as possible, this raises the chances you get for drawing the card(s) you need. - If you lose a duel you'll lose some extra points you would get after each battle, you get 1 point for each consecutive battle you win (max 10) so getting 10 more DP is better than only 1, for those who are worried about this just save a lot and if you lose simply turn off the power and restart, this DP DO help if you never lose, however if you lose besides that nothing happens (except for some duels in which you would lose the game wich are the less). - Sometimes when you battle someone (outside the obligatory battles) they'll give you a card for beating them, so if you want free cards and more DP duel! - Constantly save after a battle. - When in middle of a duel you'll notice that sometimes you want to activate a trap card but the computer wont ask you if you want to do it, well when you are in the middle of an animation (either yours or your opponent's turn) keep pressed the button A during the animation and a window will pop-up saying that there are no cards you can use and asking if you want to check the field. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ STARTING [STRT] ~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------- After the short clip you'll be found uncouncoius. You'll talk with a little girl called Rally and here you start playing. First of all move around and check the controls, press B when walking to run. Press X or tap the duel disk at the bottom right corner of the screen, this will send you to the menu where you can do various things. First of all we are gonna do some changes to your deck since there are some good cards in you side deck that should be in it. Enter the duelist menu and tap deck construction. Add the following cards from you side deck to your Main deck, to do this select a card with the arrows or tap it, then press A and a little window should appear asking where do you want to move the card, select to deck. *Note this is just a reccomendation, you can leave it as it is or change other cards instead of the ones that are going to be listed. Minimun 40 cards must be on your deck in order to be able to play. Add the following cards from the Side Deck to the Main Deck: Ancient Gear Knight Fossil Tusker Enemy controller Malevolent Nuzzler Defense Draw Add the following cards from deck to side deck or trunk: Overworked Sonic chick The Creator X-Saber Galahad Unstable Evolution If you want to buy some card packs (In order to upgrade your deck) you'll need to either go to a card shop in the game or just instead of choosing 5D Starcup mode, choose World Championship mode and from there select the option Get cards , buy cards. However be sure to save some DP since you'll need 1000 DP later in the game, if you wasted all of them or want to buy more packs, you get DP for each duel you win (and for each time you lose but when this happens you only get 1 DP for each turn that passed, so it isnt like they count lol). Exit the menu and save the game, in order to save the game just go down the map until you see a floating thingy diamond shaped mark (it's on the middle left side of the map). After saving just keep going down and face your first duel. Rally ----> This is the character's name Mecha Shot ----> This is the character's deck name 515 ----> This is the grade of difficulty of the character After this easy battle (It's the first one so it's supposed to be that way), go down and exit that map, keep going down and you'll see another person there talk with him and enjoy your second battle. Nervin Total equip 470 After the battle just go down the stairs into the subway, here you'll have to face 2 more opponents I would recommend in order to make this duels faster and easier that you should go to buy some card packs (Beggining 1 for good spell and trap cards and Beggining 2 for good monsters, this again is my opinion) and get a better deck first, thought it isnt really necessary since they are pretty easy too. Tank Total Effect 490 Blizz Satellite Wall 500 After those battles, before entering the tent go down the map and to the left to find 450 DP, after getting them enter the tent, there is another save point. Even though Rally said not to touch the PC, ignore her and go and touch it. When the shot cut-scene is done get outside the subway and meet with Blitz, then follow him (go to the left of the map to the next map). In this map go up and in the right side of the map you'll find a Dust Tornado Card. Go down and talk with Blitz and the bad guy there, you'll need 1000 DP in order to buy the Duel Runner. When you've bought the Runner go back to the subway and you'll see your Runner there, fast deliverly am i right? Well go and check your Runner.... After receiving such surprise go back to the map where you bought your Runner (All the way left), when you've watched what happened go back to the subway and tell the others what you saw. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ RESCUING BLITZ [RSB] ~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------- They are no help at all so you must go back to where you bought the Runner, go to upper side of that map and duel the guy guarding the building entrace. Kuroe Masteful Magician 580 Enter the building and first of all save, then before battling that guy there go up and get those 450 DP laying there, procceed to face that guy blocking your way. Ida Ida Dragons 590 Now proceed walking to where the guy was and before facing the 3rd guy go to the bottom left side of the map and get a Rush Recklessly card. Go and face the guy blocking your way to the next map. Kanmeno Lucky Turtle Shell 620 When you've beaten him go up and enter the next map, you'll encounter the first puzzle in the game where you gotta move some blocks that are blocking your way: Here is a mini map for that: lE l_____ l N l E= exit lN NN B Nl N= Non movable stuff l NCN l ABCDEF= Movable blocks l N N l l,_= walls lNF D NNAl lN E N l l N l l____NN l l l That's how it looks when you enter and it isnt really complicated but since this is a Walkthrough I gotta explain how to beat it so if you cant solve it, here's how to do it. Use the poorly-done ASCII that is just up this paragraph and follow the following instructions: - Push the first block (A) up 2 times - Push C down 4 times - Push E to the left once - Push F up twice and then push it right once *Note if you somehow do something wrong and cant pass through this map just press Y so the puzzle restarts and now follow the steps =p Before/After waking up Blitzz go to the right side of the map and pick up the Quillbot Hedgehog card there. Now you gotta go back from where you came, time to redo the first puzzle, this time you'll start at the exit and gotta get to the start, following the diagram I made before and do this to get to the start: - Push F down once - Push C up twice - Push B right once, down twice - Push A down twice Now get out of the building and return to the subway, after the cut-scene go into the tent. After another cut-scene go back inside the subway. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ DUEL RUNNING AND INTO THE FABRIC [DRIF] ~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------- Now get out of the subway and this time go to the right side of the map, in this map you'll find the card shop, anyway go all the way down until the next map and go to Satellite Slum, there you can find a Duel Runner shop where you can buy parts for your Duel runner which will help you in many ways, if you do dont forget to actually put the parts into the Runner, to do this press X and go to the Customize Duel Runner option. I would suggest buying a Front with good handling to make it easier to run. Well from here go down to the next map,save if needed and before going all the way left, go down and to the left to find a hidden DP Charge code wich gives you some nice 1500 DP. Go left of the map to enter the Duel running track where you gotta beat the track in the given time (3 minutes) it's easy once you get accustomed to it. Press A to acelerate, B to break, L/R for boosts (which you dont have any at this time of the game). After you've completed the track go all the way back to the subway. This time you gotta run for you life, it's the same track where you practiced so you should be fine. After succesfully escaping go back to the subway to check the others. Go back where the Runner shop is located and in that map go to the left side, follow the path and enter fabric, here you'll meet your second puzzle! Well it isnt really a puzzle but who cares, it got movable blocks. From here instead of moving the first blocks you see go left and you'll find a swtich on the floor, DO NOT STAND ON IT before doing that you should move the blocks there, move them so that you can pass through there, there's no need to explain how to do that as its very simple (Move the right block up twice and then right once, move the block on the top of the screen up twice). Now go back to the switch and stand on it, you got 7 seconds to go all the way up the stairs and open the gate, easy right? Wait! You are telling me you got problems getting up there before the time runs out? Well remember that pressing B while walking will make you run, so if you do that you'll have no problems here. Go a little left and down so you can see another of those containers that gives you stuff (Big Bang Shot card), follow the path and duel the guy blocking your way. Lug From the sea 689 Continue to the next map and you'll find another block puzzle: ______lSl l- D - l l A - - -l S = exit l B E I l A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,Z = Movable Block l - - - -l - = Non movable object l -C -l l Z -- H-l l Z FG l l Z_-___-l l l - Push B right once - Push C down once - Push E up once - Push I right once Once done go into the next map and save, face your next oponent: Larry Sss ss ss! 708 Whats up with him and his Sss's? Anyway save if needed and DONT talk with Tank, if you do when you try to go and save you'll trigger another battle. Continue your way through the fabric, dont go back yet, the next map contains a card and stuff. I'll make a map for it: Here you'll find one card, DP and a new cloth (jacket). ________________________ l - IR - - - RR R l l --U- - -U---U-- l l-H-Z- - -C- A - --- -- l l -- - - - - L l l ---- - - --- - -U-U-- l I = Item l - - -- R - - - -- l A,B,C,E,F,G,H,Z = Block l ---- - --- - - L l R= right pad l F -U-- R -I- - -- l L= Left pad l - -- - -- -- ----D-D-- l U= Up pad l G - - - - - L l D= down pad l - -- -- B -- -- - -- l l -Z -- - - -D--D-D-- l l - - --- ---- -D--D- L l lZ E - - -D--D- -- l l - - -- --- -D--D-D-- l l______I_-_RRR_I__R____ l l l If you do this with the specified blocks and dont move other blocks you can get to any part of the map: - Push A DOWN ONCE - Push C down twice - Push B down once - Push E right once - Push F left once - Push G down once - Push H up twice Now get out of there when you got all the 3 items, go back to the save point and save and then talk with tank, after talking with tank go back to the entrance and another battle will be triggered, you gotta beat the guy to get out of the map however if you lose you'll be sent back to your last save point! This is the reason I suggested saving before talking with tank. Lenny Lots of bugs 780 When the cut-scene is over go back to the subway and enter the tent, remember to save and then head to the computer (the one that you shouldnt touch lol) and prepare yourself for another Duel Running track, this one is just to pratice so you can try as many times as you want without worrying. When you've completed the track you gotta wait sometime for the next step so you should go and have a duel with Rally, she's in the subway: Rally Mecha Shot 515 Then proceed to have another duel with Blitz, he's besides Rally: Blitz Satellite Wall 500 When Tank asks you if you are ready say no, go and save first and then come back with Tank and say you are ready. If you were planning to do something in this part of the city then I would suggest not to talk with Tank and go and do whatever you wanted to, then go and see him when you are ready since after this part you wont be able to get back to this part of the city until you beat the game. Time for another Duel Runner track, this time again you gotta run for your life (in the same track you previously practiced) so good luck. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ IN JAIL [IJ] ~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------- So you've been a bad boy/girl? First of all save and go out of that room. You'll be at a corridor where there are many other prision cells, get out of there (go down). Save again if needed and then duel the Bad guy there (Bolt Tanner). Bolt Tanner Stampeding Bulls! 940 The catch with this one is that you wont use your deck to fight him, instead a borrowed one. Still it isnt really difficult to beat him. Wnen you are done, save as always and then head to vist the other newcomer he's in the corridor in the right side room. Yea, it seems that everyone wants to duel you.. Anyway after the short cut-scene go and talk with every other prisioner, go to the corridor, there on the bottom left corner you'll find one prisioner (There are 6 total that will give you something), he'll give you what you are looking for, then go to each room and talk with each prisioner to get more of those stuff they give you. No need to go to the center room neither the right side room (Just go there to get some more DP) since nobody in those rooms will give you anything. After you are done go back to the "recreation room" (all the way down) and talk with the big guy there. Remember to save. Chief Go Takasu-C! 950 He is really annoying since he is mostly defensive so it will be a long (not hard) battle... -------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ DUEL PUZZLES [DPS] ~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------- After the flashback, return to the corridor. When done and once you are out go all the way down to exit the map where you are in and enter in the first entrance you see, once inside save and talk with the bar tender, prepare for some Duel puzzles!

After you've completed 3 Duel puzzles , save and go outside. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ GETTING BACK WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU [GBDD] ~~~~ --------------------------------------------------------------------- When Blister is done talking with you, from where you are search the right side of the room for a Machiners Sniper monster card, then get outside of that building. Once out to the left of the building you just exited there's another Duel Runner Shop if interested go and buy some parts for yours,then go all the way right of the map into the next map, in this map there is another Card shop however it's temporarly closed. Keep going right, you'll find a child who's wandering there, talk with him and have a duel with him, this duel is a Structure Deck duel, you'll borrow a specialized deck from him and duel against him with it, it's a very fun duel, I chose the Spellcaster's Command Deck and beat him with it. Remember to get the DP that are in that area on the bottom left corner of the area the child is in, not of the map. Nico Curse of darkness 900 You can either continue playing with him or continue with the game, you can always come back and have a structure duel here with him. Say that you dont want another duel (unless you do) and go back with Blister and talk with him. After hearing the explanation get outside the building and this time go to the upper part of the map into the next one. Save (its on the top in the left side of the map) then go to the right side of the map and enter the building using your card. First go all the way left into the next room, here you gotta get past some guards, to do this wait until the guard is going to turn up , here's an "image" of where he should be turning to when you get past him. ______ l .... l l,_ = walls l . . l . = The trayectory where the guard walks l ...G l G = Guard l______l Remember when he is turning up as shown on the map run to the other side of the room, run by the lower part of the screen. Now enter the next room and grab the Tuningware monster card there, get back to the main room. Once back there go up to the next room and then to the left , here you gotta get past another set of guards. Wait until the second guard beggins walking to the left side of the room and for when the 1st guard is on the same position as the one before: ______ l .... l l,_ = walls l . . l . = The trayectory where the guard walks l ...G l G = Guard l______l When waiting for the second guard to beggin walking to the left hide behind the machine there, then when he starts walking left, hide behind the flower pots, when he dissapears of your view and the 1st guard is on position quickly run on the lower part of the screen and after passing the flower pots stop running and begin walking through the second guard. Enter the next room and grab the Control Room ID card there, head back to the main room (the one where you started when you entered the building) Actually if you just let yourself get caught you'll start there. From the main room now go right to the next room: This is easier, wait until both guards are giving you their back and walk behind them, follow the second guard and when passing the machine go up and remember never to pass the guard, there press A where the door control is and wait until the seconde guard goes back, press A again to close the chat window and enter the room. Here go up to the first PC you see and check it. You'll be given 2:30 minutes to reach another room. To go back, go to the lower part of the screen and run left, when you've reached the machine (not passed it) stop running and walk, keep youself as close as possible to the flower pots and the wall, end up facing down then wait until the guard passes you and then go left to exit that room and get to the main room. Here is a mini map of where you should stand G l_________ G = Guards,they may not be exactly there just for reference M| D D = Door where you come from G | M = Machine there __----Y__|______ Y = Where you should stand - = Flower pots | = Where you should stop running *Since some people had problems with my method, I'll add this other method (Which was probably the one meant to be done) that some nice (Victor Rosa) guy e-mailed me with: "What you have to do is after activating the switch leave the control room notice the plant on your right (about two steps away). Go behind the plant and wait for the guard to come back and then watch him get a few good feet away. After follow him before he leaves your sight. This part is tricky. You have to maneuver your way past the guards sight (the one at the top) but at the same time you have to slide your way along the set of plants until you can hide in the intersection where the plant and wall make a corner. After that the guard will pass and you can leave. __________________________ l l l l-----l l l l-----l l l G Pl ________l l_______l-----l_________ M M PY1 l l-------------------------l l Gl-------------------------l l ________________________Y2PPPP____________________________l P= Plant M= Machine G= Guard l---l= Movements of Guards Y1= The first place you have to stay after hitting the switch for the timer Y2= The place you have to end up after you have followed the guard that walks towards the exit while you follow him and slide beside the plant and the wall. *End of the other method to get past this room* After getting back to the main room go up to the next room and then to the right one, here are more guards: To past the first set of guard wait until the running guard goes off screen, then wait until the guard on the upper side of the screen faces you with his back, when he is, run again by the lower part of the screen and when reaching the second set of flower pots position yourself behind them, again as close as possible to them and the wall, here's another map: G l_________l G G = Guards,they may not be exactly there, I putted them M there just for reference G M = Machine there ----________Y--- Y = Where you should stand - = Flower pots To get past the 3rd guard is easy, just wait until he is giving you his back and walk always some steps behing him, continue right and enter the room, this should be done in the given time (2:30min) and if you get spotted by a guard you gotta start over from going to the other room and activating the PC. When you've completed this task and entered the room check that room for another ID, your deck, some DP and a Duel Disk (Everything is in the drawers) Now get out of there and from the main room go up to the next map and open the middle door there. After entering this room go to the right until you see a guard and wait about 15 seconds and then walk left this time by the upper side of the map and hide behing the flower pot there: G G -l_________ G= Guards,they may not be exactly there just for reference -Y D D = Door where you come from - = Flower pots ----_________ Y= Where you should stand Wait till the guard of the right in the map before given (the one up this line) passes you and then wait for the other guard to turn up. ______ l . l l,_ = walls l . l . = The trayectory where the guard walks l G -l__ G = Guard -Y - = Flower Pots _-------___ Y = where you are standing When he is facing up is the time you should get across the map to the left. Once done enter the next room and DONT go up, instead if you check the mini map on the DS there's like a little hole to the left of the map (not the one with the exit another smaller one) well go there and pick up a nice Gold Sarcophagus card (very useful IMO) Go down and left and save your game, after saving go, dont do up yet, go into the next map, exit from there so you can always use that elevator and dont have to go through the trouble of passing the guards again, and if you need to, go and buy some Duel Runner parts then come back using the elevator you have just activated. Returning to the map where you last saved, go up in the map to find what you were looking for and prepare for another Duel Runner track, this is why you should save first. The trick on that track is if you see you are gonna get hitted by an obstacle break a little until you can pass by and then continue. If you cant complete the track beacause its too hard I would recommend exiting the building by the method before described and going to buy some Duel Runner parts to the shop left to the building where Blister is then going back and when getting it back instead of just going down and triggering the next event press X before and customize your Runner. Mini boosts are good if you crash into the wall or an obstacle as they'll help you regain your speed faster also a good accelerator and handling helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ MEETING THE TWINS AND TAG DUEL [MTTD] ~~~~ ---------------------------------------------------------------- When you've succesfully escaped prepare for a duel... Leo Transform, Ta da! 1100 Save and go down the stairs to face another opponent: Akiza Black Rose 1200 Save again and return to where Blister is (all the way left) thought dont enter the building, just keep going left and you'll see him, prepare for your first Tag Duel, after hearing the explanation of course. Leo Luna Transform, Ta da! Fairy Princess 1100 1100 Now you gotta find a partner, to do this just find a charcter in the game from which you like his deck and battle him (and win) until he/she asks you to be your partner (Im not sure if you can partner with the characters in the city). After that from the Duel Runner shop (or where the Tag Duel was) go left and follow the path until you reach the city, when you do, go left again all the way and follow the path, on the last map go up and a little left to save, then enter the tournament and of course win it! By the way the card shop is now opened so if you need to upgrade your deck go and buy some card packs. 1st duel Figaro Corse Classic Deck Modern Deck 918 923 After you've beaten them save and talk again with the manager for the 2nd duel, same for the 3rd one. 2nd duel Blister Bolt Sprint! Machiners! Stampeding Bulls! 930 940 Proceed to the 3rd duel. Leo Luna Transform, Ta da! Fairy Princess 1100 1100 Nice job winning, now after the cut-scene save, go back to the map where the bar is if you do not remember how to get there first get out of the city and go all the way right until you reach that map, outside the bar to its right you'll find Bolt, talk with him after doing that go back with Blister, all the way to the left again and enter the building he is in. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ TURBO DUELING AND THE TOURNAMENT [TDT]~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------- When you are done get out of the building and go all the way back to the city, when you reach the city go to the right there talk with a guy named Giado that is guarding some kind of entrance and you are on for another Duel Runner track. This should be easy now. When you've completed the track I would suggest going into your duel disk and editing the Turbo duel deck you got (Press X go to duelist menu then select Deck construction (Turbo)), since you are almost going to start Turbo dueling.. The only diference here is you gotta buy special magic card to be able to use them in the duel, apart from that everything is the same, anyway after editing your turbo duel deck exit the map and there a guy will explain you how to turbo duel and of course challenge you to one. Bass Non-stop Road 1082 Go and save after the duel and then go to the card shop to buy some spell cards (Aceleration pack) for your turbo duel deck since you'll need them. Then edit your deck again and go back to where the Team Tag Tournament was held, there prepare yourself for another tournament, save again if needed and good luck winning. 1st Duel (Turbo duel) Trudge For Duel's End! 1250 Save and to the next battle! 2nd duel (Turbo duel) Hunter Wheel on Fire! 1290 Save and procceed with the next battle 3rd duel (Turbo Duel) Greiger (Forgot to see info on him lol, sorry for that. It isnt very important tho) Now you can go and buy more cards or just continue with the tournament , to do that return to the tournament area, dont forget to save, this time you can enter the building so just go up and enter the tournament (Talk with the manager). 1st Duel (Normal Duel) Randsborg Fit for a Knight! 1420 Save and go procceed with the next duel. 2nd duel (Normal Duel) Akiza Cold Burning Fire 1450 Go and save and prepare for the final match! 3rd duel (Turbo Duel) Yusei Warrior's Aligned 1500 After the cut-scene save your game! Never before it was so important to save since what is next is the most difficult part of the game (At least for me) Go to the WC mode after saving and buy some card packs, you'll need to have a strong deck for the next part, after you are done simply go down on the map you are in and after a long speech (Which if you dont got a strong deck you'll watch it a lot of times...) you'll face 4 opponents, whats the deal with them? -------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ THE 4 LAST ONES AND THE KING [TLOK] ~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------- Well let me explain, first of all you gotta beat all 4 in one run, no saving in middle, second you cannot use your side deck, third they got structure decks which are very powerfull and at last and more important of all, YOUR LIFE POINTS ARE THE SAME FOR ALL 4 DUELS so that means YOU ONLY GOT 8000 LP FOR THE 4 BATTLES, this means that your LP are carried over from battle to battle so if you finish the 1st battle with 3000 LP you'll start the 2nd one with 3000LP, keep this in mind!! I said I wouldnt give any info on how to beat duelists since it just depends on your deck and no oponent is a big deal.. except these 4 so I'll throw in a couple of tips. Dont let them use synchro AND DONT GET DAMAGED EVEN 100 LP COUNT, if you let them summon 1 synchro monster you are pretty much screwed so dont let this happen. - Alfa - He keeps special summoning monsters from his graveyard, I mean he is crazy about that! If you destroy his tuner monster he'll return it to the field the next turn and this is what makes it very hard to beat him, since if he gets a tuner monster with all his special summoning he'll summon a Synchro monstert herefore you are 90% doomed unless you got a really good deck. He uses a zombie structure deck - Beta - He can be pretty strong and also got some cards that will prevent lvl 4 monsters to attack, so either be prepared to destroy em or defend from his lower lvls monsters, he got a field card that gives lower lvl monsters a bonus of 1300 ATT so be careful, he doesnt synchro summon as often as Alfa but if he does you'll have some trouble too so dont let that happen and find a way to destroy his monsters when he stops you from attacking with lvl 4 or higher monsters. He uses an aqua structure deck. - Gamma - Much more easier that the other 2 IMO, he got some strong monsters and as long as you dont let him tribute summon it should be no harm for you. He got no synchro summons thankfully and uses a lightsworm sturcture deck. - Delta - Same as above it should be easy if you get here with High LP, he uses dark summon combos but they arent really strong or at least the ones I saw, he got few monsters you should worry about but as stated before if you reached this battle with high LP you should be fine. He uses a Dark structure deck. After the battle, let me congratuale you for beating them, remember to save when you wake up and go to face the king. Jack - Turbo duel King's pride 1580 MUUCH more easier than the lasts fights you had, he got a few monsters that cnm be special summoned if he controls no mosters but it's nothing you should worry about, unless you have problems dealing with 2X00 ATT monsters. After that, congratulate yourself you've just beaten the story mode, and as Rex Goodwin said, you may do as you please. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~ TIPS AND TRICKS FOR THE 4 [TT4] ~~~~ -------------------------------------------------------------- Since it seems that these 4 can be very hard for many I made a deck with cards that you can get without using the Card codes and actually with not no much effort. Here is the deck that I used to beat these 4, believe or not. ~ Monsters ~ Gemini elf x3 Dark Ruler Ha des Exiled Force Gigantic Cephalotus Goblin Attack Force Granmarg the Rock Monarch Greenkappa Kuriboh Man-eater Bug Mecha Bunny x3 Penguin Soldier Psychic Commander Sangan The Calculator Twin-Headed Behemoth Zombrya the Dark ~ Spell cards ~ After the Struggle Book of Moon Creature Swap Cup of Ace Enemy Controller Mage Power (Only "hard" to get card) Malevolent Nuzzler Mask of the Accursed Mystical Space Typhoon Riryoku Shield Crush Soul Taker The Shallow Grave (Only use if your oponnent got no strong monsters or monsters that you cant instant destroy in his graveyard) ~ Trap cards ~ Bottomless Trap Hole Defense Draw Dust Tornado x2 Kunai with chain Magic Jammer Needle Ceiling Radiant Mirror Force Raigeki Break Seven Tools of Bandit Spendbiding Circle Trap Hole *NOTE: ALL THIS CARDS CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE DARK BEGGINING PACK 1 AND DARK BEGGINING PACK 2, THE ONES THAT CANNOT BE OBATINED THAT WAY YOU ALREADY GOT THEM FROM THE BEGGINING. Wait, this Deck is really bad? Yea, honestly it kinda is. It isnt the best Deck out there but this deck CAN beat the 4. If you are wondering why I have this "awful" deck, well if you notice there are many cards that you got from the beggining and ALL the cards there arent even rare, except for Mage Power. So everyone should be able to beat the 4. Anyway I made this deck to help the ones who have trouble beating them, I already said I beat them with it. Why do I think YOU should use this deck if you cant get past this part? Well this deck can pretty much be made by anyone, actually I made this deck WITHOUT using Card codes and only the cards that I got in my trunk, actually this cards were gotten with the DP you get from the beggining, the ones you collect in the ground and the OBLIGATORY battles. In this game I DIDNT battle with anyone that was not obligatory in order to advance, so EVERYONE should be able to get it. Of course hipotetically. Now, obviously since getting cards is all random if you cant see what the "strategy" of that deck is and build one with the cards you currently got then check this "formula" so that you can use similar cards to those on that deck. ~ Monsters ~ - 7-8 Monsters that require no summon and stay on the field with attack 1900 or MORE (1 can be of 1850 ATT, if they got effects that destroy other cards or that are really useful of course those got priority on being on your deck). - 2 Monsters with Attack of 2100 or more, this ones can have effects that pretty much makes them 1 use only (Zombrya the Dark, Goblin Attack force, Giant Orc). - 2 Monsters lvl 5-6 that require only 1 summon, with an attack of 2400 or more, again if they got useful effects then use those! - 3-4 Monsters that Destroy or return cards to your oponnent's hand. (Preferably destroy them or send more than 1 card to its owner hand) - 5 Monsters that protect you (defense) but have effects that really help you or that can protect you from attacks. Total of 20 monsters ~ Spell cards and Trap cards ~ - 9 That can destroy monsters. - 6 That protect you and in the next turn can help you to destroy monsters (Like Book of moon protects you from an attack and also changes the monster to defense position so that the next turn you can kill the monster with probably less defense than attack). - 5 That destroy or negate spell/trap cards - 2 Equips that add attack, unless its Kunai with Chain or any other that can also protect you, if so then 3 equips. - 3 Misc cards that you consider useful and can help you. Total of 25 cards - How to use the deck (More tips) - Since having a good deck isnt what you only need to win, I'll tell you how to "use it". The plan consists of destroying every card your oponnent places on the field as soon as possible, if you are sure you can destroy that monster with one of yours just by attacking wait for your turn to do so and dont waste a card destroyer card, if you are gonna get damaged then protect yourself, always try to leave your oponnent vulnerable to a direct attack (part of the destroy everything in his field side tip) and attack (damage his LP) whenever you can, in fact doesnt matter if its just 50 hp, do it if he got few cards on his hand and spell/trap card zone. These are my results when using the deck listed before to fight them: First battle: Ended with 7000 LP left, used a Seven Tools of Bandit (-1000 LP). Second battle: 6200 LP left, -800 LP from a monster damage (ATT diference). Third battle: 3050 LP left, 2150 from battle damage total, -1000 LP from SToB. For this battle since I got bad luck and got no monsters on me while my oponnent got only 1 card on his hand and 1 spell on the field I attacked with a Kuriboh! (Only 300 damage), that is my point with attack whenever you can with what you got. On a side note I used the Kuriboh for a tribute summon the next turn, just think what you are doing and risk from time to time. Fourth battle: 3050 LP left, no damage taken.
