Introduction ................................. [INT] Hey, and welcome to my first FAQ. This document is here to help players complete the 15 downloadable puzzles in YGO: WC 08. These puzzles are not recommended for the casual player due to their complexity, but can reward you with close to 10000 DP, so they're definitely worth it. NOTE - I am assuming that you already know the basics of the game. If you don't, then check the tutorial section of the game. NOTE2 - The first time I mention a card, I will use the full name in quotes. Afterwards, I will use shorthand that is hopefully easy to understand. If I need to, I will put up a key. =============================================================================== 02. Copyright Info .................................

Puzzle Solutions -------------------- A. Puzzle #01 ................................. [P01] OK, we start with a somewhat easy one. This seems to be a fairy puzzle, and looking over the cards, works on life gain. So, here we go. - Start off by putting that "Lamb Token" in attack position. Don't worry, we'll use him later. - After, Special Summon "Soul of Purity and Light" by removing from play a "The Agent of Force - Mars" and "The Agent of Judgment - Saturn". This will cause "Soul Absorption" to activate, netting you 1000 LP. - Activate the facedown "Miraculous Descent" card to Special Summon "The Agent of Force - Mars" Hold the A button while it's being summoned, so you can activate "Inferno Reckless Summon" to Special Summon the other two. Your opponent will Special Summon a "Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger" in Defense position. - Sacrifice "Soul of Purity and Light" so you can summon "Airknight Parshath". Enter your Battle Phase. - Remember that "Lamb Token"? Use it and attack the Blue-Eyes. You should get a prompt asking if you want to activate a card. Say yes, and activate "Inferno Tempest". Eight cards will be removed from the game, giving you a cool 4000 LP thanks to Soul Absorption. - Activate your last facedown, "Celestial Transformation", to Special Summon "Neo- Parshath, the Sky Paladin". - Take out a Tiger with Airknight. Don't worry about its effect. Take your Sky-Paladin and demolish the other Tiger. Again, don't worry about the effect. - Use one of the Mars cards and kill the dragon. After that, attack with the other two for success. B. Puzzle #02 ................................. [P02] As a personal friend would say: "This game's learning curve is like driving into a brick wall..." and this Volcanic puzzle shows it. Obviously, you're going to want to burn your opponent for a victory, so let's get it on. - First thing to do - Activate "Volcanic Slicer", you won't need your Battle Phase anyway. Afterwards, activate "Volcanic Shell" from the Graveyard. You'll loose 500 LP, and get a V. Shell from your deck to your hand. - Activate "Graceful Charity", discarding two "Volcanic Scattershot" cards. They'll activate, dealing 1000 damage to your opponent. After, play "Back to Square One", discarding "Sparks" to bounce "Volcanic Doomfire" to the top of your deck. - Activate the facedown "Jar of Greed", putting the V. Doomfire back into your hand. Afterwards, use "Tri-Blaze Accelerator" to destroy a "Marshmallon" by discarding V. Doomfire. (No love for V. Doomfire, eh?) This will deal 500 damage. Activate Accelerator again, this time discarding the V. Shell, to take out the other "Marshmallon" and deal another 500 damage to your opponent. - Use "Volcanic Recharge" to shove 2 V. Scattershots and a V. Shell back into your deck. Activate Accelerator again, discarding your last V. Scattershot to destroy a "Dandylion". Also, activate V. Scattershot's effect. - After the Five-Hour long chain is done, activate V. Shell's effect from the graveyard. Use the V. Shell to activate Accelerator and take out a token. See the neglected "Volcanic Hammerer"? Activate his effect now. - Use the other V. Recharge to send 2 V. Shells and the V. Doomfire back to your deck. Use V. Shell's effect from the graveyard, and then activate Accelerator to get rid of another token. - Use that V. Shell's effect to grab the last one from your deck, then (you guessed it) take out another token with Accelerator. Finish it off by activating "Soul of Fire" using V. Doomfire for the win. C. Puzzle #03 ................................. [P03] This puzzle revolves around the Destiny Hero series of cards. Your job here is to push through the four 3000 Def. creatures. - See that "Lava Golem"? Sacrifice both "Millennium Shield" cards your opponent controls to Special Summon the Golem to your opponent's side of the field. Afterwards, discard "Destiny Hero - Malicious" to activate "Raigeki Break", so you can take out a "Labyrinth Wall" - Activate "Over Destiny" and target D.H. Malicious so you can Special Summon "Destiny Hero - Disc Commander". Special Summon D.H. Malicious from the graveyard by using "Shallow Grave". - Special Summon "Destiny Hero - Plasma" by sacrificing your three creatures. After, use "Premature Burial" to Special Summon D.H. Disc Commander. This allows you to draw two cards: Another D.H. Malicious and "Destiny Hero - Dogma" - Activate Plasma's effect, targeting your own Golem (that your opponent has, of course), then use "Giant Trunade" to send the Golem, Premature Burial, and "Salamandra" back to your hand. - Special Summon the Golem again, taking care of the last two creatures your opponent controls. Then activate both the "Book of the Moon" and the "Book of Taiyou" on D.H. Plasma (In that order). - Activate D.H. Plasma's effect (again), choosing the Golem (again). After, activate "Feather of a Phoenix" by discarding D.H. Malicious and choose a D.H. Malicious to put on top of the deck. - Activate D.H. Malicious's effect from the graveyard to Special Summon the other D.H. Malicious. Tribute all three creatures to Special Summon D.H. Dogma. - Activate Premature Burial to bring back the Golem, equip it with Salamandra, and attack with both creatures for the win. D. Puzzle #04 ................................. [P04] Alright, this one's a little different. Looking at the field, you'll notice that there are a bunch of equip cards on the field, along with that nifty trap that negates equip cards. The programmers want you to activate the trap early, but you'll lose easily, so do this instead... - First off, activate "Cost Down" by discarding "Horn of Light", then equip the "Horn of the Unicorn" to your "Celtic Guardian". Afterwards, activate "The Emperor's Holiday" and enter your battle phase. - Attack "Kumori Dragon" with the Guardian, then attack "Hiro's Shadow Scout" with your "Mystical Elf". Next, attack the dragon again, this time with "Kanan the Swordmistress". When "Necklace of Command" activates, choose to draw a card. - Use "Mystic Wok" on your Mystical Elf, choosing her Defense. Thanks to your newly gained LP, you can now attack the dragon with your "Dark Elf". - Activate "Malice Dispersion" by discarding "Ojama Yellow" to destroy the Emperor trap. To end it, destroy the "Des Koala" with "Mataza the Zapper", then use its second attack to end the puzzle. E. Puzzle #05 ................................. [P05] This puzzle revolves around the V through Z series of monster and fusion cards. The goal is to snatch your opponent's "V-Tiger Jet" to fuse for the win. - Start out by summoning "Y-Dragon Head", then sacrificing it for "Mystic Wok", choosing its defense. Bring it back and equip it to "X-Head Cannon" with "Roll Out!". - Remove all three monsters from the game to fusion summon "XYZ-Dragon Cannon", and use its effect to destroy V-Jet by discarding "W-Wing Catapult" Then activate "Dimension Fusion" to special summon all of your creatures removed from the game. - Activate "Symbols of Duty" to send X-Cannon to the graveyard to special summon your opponent's V-Jet to your side of the field. Activate your second Roll Out to bring your W-Catapult back to the field. - Now, use XYZ's effect again, discarding "Frontline Base" to destroy your opponent's "Sakuretsu Armor", then activate "Two-Pronged Attack" by destroying your Y-Dragon and Z-Tank to take out the "Spirit Reaper". - Fusion summon "VW-Tiger Catapult" by removing V-Jet and W-Catapult from the game. Then remove VW and XYZ from the game to bring out "VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Canon" Use its effect to take care of the "Marshmallon" before attacking for the win. F. Puzzle #06 ................................. [P06] Now, the problem with this one are the three "Gravitic Orb" cards and the "Curse of Darkness" Trap card. The idea is to power up one of the Grasschopper" cards to destroy everything for the win. Here we go. - First off, put your "Mataza the Zapper" in defense mode. After that, you see that "Grasschopper" on the field? Well, summon it again, so it can attack all of your opponent's monsters during your battle phase. - Next up, play "Tribute to the Doomed" to destroy the "Pinch Hopper" by discarding "Nobleman of Crossout". The Hopper will activate, so special summon the other Grasschopper from your hand. - Activate "Big Bang Shot" and equip it to the Grasschopper that can attack all monsters. Enter your battle phase, and attack with the powered-up Grasschopper. HOLD DOWN A WHILE THE ORB IS FLIPPING FACE UP!! The game will ask you if you want to activate a card. Say yes, and play "Rush Recklessly", targeting the attacking Grasschopper. - Now, after battle, the Orb will activate, leaving your Zapper in attack mode. Attack another Orb with him, and that Orb's effect will hit off, switching battle positions again. - Go back to the powered-up Grasschopper, and attack with him again. Battle positions will change again, allowing you to attack directly with Zapper. After activate "Ojama Trio" to special summon 3 tokens to your opponent's side of the field. - Activate "Zero Gravity" and destroy all tokens with the Grasschopper that can attack them all. Finish your opponent off with the last Grasschopper. G. Puzzle #07 ................................. [P07] In my personal opinion, this is a puzzle that comes from many people whining about how hard the puzzles are, because this Dragon themed trial was by far the easiest of the downloads...but enough about that ^_^ - Start off with "Future Fusion", targeting "F.G.D" and sending to the graveyard the five respective dragons. Next, summon "Card Trooper" and use his effect to send the last three cards from your deck to the graveyard. - Now you can activate "Cyberdark Impact!" to special summon "Cyberdark Dragon". Select "Felgrand Dragon" for its effect. Enter your battle phase. - Have Cyberdark Dragon take out the Blue-Eyes first. Now, activate the "Mystical Space Typhoon" from your hand and take out Felgrand. Due to Felgrand's effect, he can't be special summoned unless he was sent from the field to the graveyard, and that's what we did. ^_^ - Use "Call of the Haunted" to, you guessed it, bring Felgrand back. Target "Armed Dragon Lv. 10" for his effect, and take out the Ultimate Dragon. Finish your opponent with the Card Trooper. H. Puzzle #08 ................................. [P08] Ah, A Harpy Ladies theme with...THREE DREADROOTS!? Wow...let's give this a whirl... - Start off with "Hysteric Party", discarding "Harpy Lady #1" to special summon "Harpy Lady" And Harpy #1. "Harpies' Hunting Ground" will trigger, so destroy one of those pesky "Chain Energy" cards. - Next up, summon "Harpy Lady #2". Hunting Ground will activate again, so destroy "Level Limit - Area B" this time. Activate "Icarus Attack" and sacrifice the non-effect Harpy Lady so you can take out two "The Wicked Dreadroot" cards. - Play "Monster Reborn" to bring back a "Sacred Crane" to the field, letting you draw a card. Play the card you just got, "Elegant Egotist", to special summon "Harpy Lady Sisters". Hunting Ground will activate again, so destroy the other Chain Energy. - Now, activate "Triangle Ecstasy Spark" to boost your Harpies and nullify the "Gravity Bind" your opponent has face down. Also, play "Magical Stone Excavation" to grab the "Cyber Shield" card by discarding the two cards in your hand. You're going to want to equip the Shield to the Harpy Sisters card and enter your battle phase. - Almost done...attack the "Big Shield Gardna" with the Crane. It'll flip to attack mode, so take it out with the Sisters. Now, here's a cool way to win. Activate "Ojama Trio" to bring out the three tokens, then activate "Remove Brainwashing". What happens is that one token comes back, but the other two have no place to go, so they are destroyed. And when they are destroyed, they deal the damage you need to win. I. Puzzle #09 ................................. [P09] This is one of the weirder puzzles...what you have to do is deal enough damage to YOURSELF so "Megamorph" can power up the monster you need to win. - First, flip over the "Magician of Faith" to return "Twister" from the graveyard to your hand. Use it on the "Soul Absorption" so you don't have to worry about life gain. - Now, tribute the "X-Head Cannon" to summon "Raiza the Storm Monarch" which will let you put your opponent's "Spirit Reaper" back on top of their deck. After that, play "Premature Burial" to special summon "Injection Fairy Lily" She is your star creature in this challenge. - Equip Raiza with "Megamorph", which will cut his attack in two...but we'll change that. Discard "Mystical Space Typhoon" to equip Fairy Lily with "Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce" and enter your battle phase. - Have the Magician of Faith attack "Silent Magician Lv. 8". Then, have the Fairy Lily attack the "Marshmallon", making sure to pay the 2000 LP to boost her attack. Thanks to the Twin Swords, she can attack again, so have her attack the Silent Magician, but this time, DON'T pay LP. - If you did it right, Raiza should be powered up so you can take out the Silent Magician, and win the challenge. J. Puzzle #10 ................................. [P10] A Crystal Beast Challenge mixed in with Water monsters...cool. - Start by flipping your "Hane-Hane" face up, and bounce him to your hand. Then activate "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" twice - the first time to draw a card, the second time to special summon "Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus". Choose to activate its effect to put "Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise" on the now empty Spell/Trap Zone. - Flip "Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive" to draw a card, then summon the "Abyss Soldier". Activate his effect by discarding "Giga Gagagigo" to return the Ancient City back to your hand. - Play the Ancient City card again, and activate both effects again - Draw a card, and special summon "Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth". Now, activate "H - Heated Heart", targeting Sapphire Pegasus. - Next, play "Lightning Vortex" by discarding the Hane-Hane, then play "Tribute to the Doomed" and discard "Pigeonholing Books of Spell" to take out the "Old Vindictive Magician" - Activate "A Legendary Ocean", then play "Premature Burial", bringing back Giga Gagagigo to the field. Enter your battle phase, and attack with everything to clear the puzzle. K. Puzzle #11 ................................. [P11] O.K...your opponent for this one is using a Destiny Hero deck, vs. your Warrior deck...let's see if we can win this one, Kay? - Start by equipping "Smoke Grenade of the Thief" to "Gearfried the Swordmaster". Swordmaster's effect will activate, allowing you to destroy one of the three "Destiny Hero - Dogma" cards. Equip "Flint" to "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" - Now, sacrifice "Gearfried the Iron Knight" and "Armed Samurai - Ben Kei" to summon "Gilford the Legend". Activate his effect and do the following: Equip "Black Pendant" to "Gearfried the Swordmaster" Equip "Amulet of Ambition" to "Elemental Hero Sparkman" Equip "Demotion" to "Elemental Hero Sparkman" - Swordmaster's effect will activate again, allowing you to destroy another Dogma. Enter your battle phase. - Have Swordmaster destroy the Doom Lord. Flint will activate, so equip it to the Swordmaster, causing his effect to activate again, letting you destroy the last Dogma. - Attack "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster" with Sparkman. Attack twice with "Mataza the Zapper" and once with Gilford for the game. L. Puzzle #12 ................................. [P12] Ah...Fiends, how I love you so....ahem, anyway this is a Fiend vs. Fiend challenge, so let's go. - Start with "Raigeki Break" and discard "Evil Hero Malicious Edge" to destroy one of the "Old Vindictive Magician" cards. Then use "Mind Control" to take another Old Magician. - Flip the Old Magician up, to destroy your opponent's last magician. Now activate "Secret Barrel". Your opponent will activate "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness" and special summon him. No worries, though. - Use "The Forceful Sentry" to get rid of the pesky "Kuriboh" in your opponent's hand, then activate "Double Summon". Flip the "Magician of Faith" face up to retrieve the Mind Control from the graveyard, and use it to take Gorz. - Sacrifice the Magician of Faith to summon "Doom Shaman". Activate "Ookazi", then discard "Big Bang Shot" to play "Double Spell". Copy "Gift of the Martyr" and send Gorz to the graveyard to boost the Shaman. - Summon the Shaman again (thanks to Double Summon) and use his effect to get Gorz out again. Enter your battle phase and attack with both for the game. M. Puzzle #13 ................................. [P13] Magicians...huh...your job here is to weaken the "Dark Magician Girl" cards so you can destroy them to win.
