I. Introduction
Howdy there everyone!  I'm nekofjung and this is my comprehensive guide
to Yugioh 5Ds World Championship 2010: Reverse of Arcadia.  For the
sake of me not getting carple tunnel just from the title alone, this
game shall be from now referred to as WC10.  Now, why am I a legitimate
person to make this guide?  Well, I already have the largest in-depth
guide for WC2009 on gamefaqs
(http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/955057/56506).  I have played
the Yugioh TCG ever since the year it came to North America and have
played in and done well in many tournaments both in real life and
online.  I am an admin and article writer for Duel Academy
(http://duelacademy.forum0.net/forum.htm), and I have also recently
become an article write for Kaiba Corporation
(http://www.kaibacorporation.com/forum.php).  Well, now you have the
majority of my credentials, so let's get on with this guide!
This guide will take you all the way through the storyline and will
unlock everything in the game by the time you are done reading it if
you follow it step-by-step.
Before I begin, just the quick note for my own protection.  This guide
was created by me and any other works referenced will be cited at the
end of the guide.  Please do not post this guide anywhere without first
asking me by PM on Duel Academy or Kaiba Corporation.  Any time
information is referenced from this guide, please make sure that I
receive full credit for the work I have done.  In short, don't steal.
There is no reason for it.

II. About Yugioh
Yugioh is a game where you use spells, traps, and monsters to reduce
your opponent's Life Points to zero, although there are some other
special ways to win.  I'm not going to go into much detail on the
basics of how to play, because the game comes with a very good in-depth
tutorial for newbies.  I'll also be giving out some hints and tips
along the way to help you defeat your opponents in the game.
There are some extra things in this game, however, aside from regular
dueling.  You have a Duel Runner and will have to compete in some
racing games.  There are also Tag Duels, where you duel 2 on 2 with a
partner.  I will be giving some helpful hints for these as well along
the way, but again the game does give tutorials for these as well if
you need the help.
--------------------------------
[CHNG]
III. Changes since WC 2009
-Several new cards added.
-The Duel screen got a slight makeover, and is back to being a top down
look rather than being angled.
-More costumes, faces . . . etc for customizing your character.
-Racing games have new traps and some jumps.
-Racing games have speed spell cards you can collect while racing.
-Quicker transitions from WC mode to Story mode
--------------------------------

IV. Beginnings
Ok, now let's get into the actual guide (what you actually came here
for).  If you've played WC09 before, then you'll notice the starting
screen is very similar.  Before we jump into the story mode, let's
check out the World Championship mode.  It will be beneficial to spruce
up your deck before starting story mode.  First, let's look at the
starter deck you receive:
Monsters(21):
1x Hunter Dragon
1x Sonic Duck
1x Tune Warrior
1x Chiron the Mage
2x Comrade Swordsman of Landstar
1x Crystal Seer
1x Elemental Hero Wildheart
1x Flamvell Grunika
1x Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu
1x Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird
1x Nightmare Penguin
3x Nimble Momonga
1x Powered Tuner
1x Strong Wind Dragon
1x Swift Birdman Joe
1x Tiger Dragon
2x Twin-Sword Marauder
Spells(13):
1x Banner of Courage
1x Black Pendant
1x Dark Core
1x De-Spell
1x Faustian Bargain
1x Gift of the Martyr
2x Lucky Iron Axe
1x Offerings to the Doomed
1x Shrink
1x Soul Reversal
1x Soul Taker
1x Twister
Traps(6):
1x Dust Tornado
1x Flashbang
1x Needle Ceiling
1x Seven Tools of the Bandit
1x Thunder of Ruler
1x Trojan Blast
Extra(3):
1x Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth
1x Naturia Leodrake
1x X-Saber Urbellum
Ok, you have 23 other cards in your trunk and side deck, so I'm gonna
make some quick suggestions for immediate changes.  Cards to add to the
deck:
Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive - good self-replacing card that
can let you draw into better cards.
Roc from the Valley of Haze - winged beast for Icarus Attack and for
now a single tribute, 2400 ATK beatstick isn't horrible for you.
Nobleman of Extermination - you need all the spell/trap control you can
get early on.
Chaos Burst - 1 of your few ways to destroy monsters by effects at this
time.  Even though it is a -1 card disadvantage, it's what you've got
for now. =/
Icarus Attack - you just barely have enough Winged Beasts to use it,
but you can get some more if you choose the correct packs to buy early
on.
2x Kunai with Chain - 1 of the better traps you are given.  It will
probably save your butt a few times over.
Malevolent Catastrophe - difficult to use properly, but it can save you
from some of the annoying traps that the AI's will use against you even
early on.  Just try not to set too many of your own traps while you
have that on the field.
Raigeki Break - Probably 1 of the best generic destruction cards you
have to start with.
A good yugioh player typically will want to play with a 40-card deck
since it gives you the best chances of completing strategies and
drawing into your stronger cards more quickly.  Therefore, since I told
you to add 9 cards, here are 9 cards you can probably take out:
2x Comrade Swordsman of Landstar - even though he's a tuner, you'll be
able to get access to better tuners early on, so he isn't needed.
Powered Tuner - His effect sucks and you don't have enough ways to
swarm the field with tuners for him to be useful to you for now.
De-Spell - a very situational and crappy card.
Gift of the Martyr - this card creates a -2 card disadvantage for you
that is not at all worth its effect.
Soul Reversal - This card is a -1 and its effect isn't all that
stunning.
Flashbang - A crap card that is a -1 and gives you no advantage.
Thunder of Ruler - Another -1 effect that doesn't do enough to help you
and that is also outclassed by cards like Waboku and Threatening Roar.
Trojan Blast - Extremely situational card that you will most likely
never get a chance to use.  In other words, worthless.
Now, if we head over to the Card Shop, you should find 7 card packs
that you can buy right off the bat.  What I'll do for you is to provide
a list of some of the better cards to look forward to in the packs.
Also, note that the Dark Beginning and Dark Revelation packs have A LOT
of cards in them and I don't advise buying them just to search for a
specific card.  Also, the lists I give you will not include any banned
cards the packs have, since you really only collect them for the sake
of collecting them.  Only the Dark Beginning and Dark Revelation packs
have banned cards in them.

Again, I do not recommend purchasing many of the above 4 packs.  Most
of the good cards in them can be found elsewhere later, and you are
really rolling the dice on whether or not you get lucky enough to get
some of the best cards in these packs.  Now I do suggest checking out
closely the next 3 packs, as they all contain many of the newer cards
in the game, so you won't have to wait at all to find some powerful
Synchro monsters if you buy these packs!  I may at times generically
say that you can find a "set" of cards in the packs, but I will list
separately any important tuners or synchro monsters from the set that
can be used outside of the set.
Synchro Awaken!!:
Monsters:
Ally of Justice set
Ally of Justice - Catastor
Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
Cyber Dragon
Flamvell Uruquizas
Mist Valley set
Mist Valley Soldier
Mist Wurm
Worm set
X-Sabers set
X-Saber Airbellum
Spells:
Nobleman of Extermination
Soul Exchange
Traps:
Dust Tornado
Brionac, Uruquizas, and Mist Wurm are all awesome Synchro monsters who
will serve you well throughout the entirety of the game!  Mist Valley
Soldier and Airbellum are also both excellent tuner monsters.  Cyber
Dragon is just awesome period.  Definitely invest in these packs until
you can get some of these powerful cards!
Invasion of Worms!!:
Monsters:
Ally of Justice set
Ally of Justice Light Gazer
Dark Resonator
Flamvell set
Genex set
Genex Controller
Ghost Gardna
Goyo Guardian
Hydro Genex
Nitro Warrior
Ice set
Mist Valley set
Worm set
Worm King
X-Saber set
X-Saber Palomuro
X-Saber Wayne
Spells:
Mystical Space Typhoon
Traps:
none of value :P
Light Gazer is a decent 8-star Synchro and you probably won't find many
good ones for awhile so he fills that space at least.  Goyo Guardian is
a must-have Synchro for any deck.  Dark Resonator and Palomuro are both
decent tuners if you don't have Mist Valley Soldier and Airbellum
already.  Genex Controller also has some very interesting support cards
in the Genex set, so if you want to add a bunch of Genex monsters to
your deck, that is a fun way to go.  The only big kahuna in the spell
and trap cards section for this pack, however, is Mystical Space
Typhoon, which from now on I'll refer to as MST.  This is a staple card
that you should have in almost any deck you make.  Very sexy.
Justice Strikes Back!!:
Monsters:
Ally of Justice set
Ally of Justice Field Marshal
Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier
Drillroid
Fabled (Fiend Roar Deity) Raven
Genex set
Geo Genex
Ice set
Mad Archfiend
Morphtronic set
Naturia set
Naturia Beast
Thermal Genex
Spells:
Enemy Controller
Shield Crush
Traps:
none of value :P
Field Marshal and Naturia Beast are both decent Synchro monsters.
Other than that, Drillroid is a nice card in general, and Enemy
Controller is a very versatile card to add to your deck.  All in all,
however, I only suggest purchasing this pack if you want to get cards
from a set that you are working on building (like the Genex set).
Do not forget that you can also use the Card Password function for any
card that you have 1 copy of to get up to another 2 copies of the card.
The price per card is reasonable since you won't have to be searching
through many packs to find another copy.  You can find a picture of any
card in the game just by looking through google image searches of the
card.  In the bottom left corner of the card is the code that you put
into the Card Password function.  After you input the code, it will
tell you how much it will cost to buy the card, and if you accept then
another copy of the card will be added to your trunk. ^_^
There aren't a whole lot of very specific strategies you can use right
now, unless you've collected a whole bunch of Genex cards, that is.  So
you should just be concentrating on trying to toss out the weaker cards
in your deck and replace them with cards that are just generically more
useful.  If you did manage to get your hands on a good number of Genex
cards including Genex Controller, then I suggest leaning toward a Genex
deck.  You could potentially also start collecting a whole bunch of the
Dark Revelation Volume 1 set until you have enough cards to put
together a decent Gravekeeper's deck, but like I said trying to find
specific cards in those huge packs is just hellish and probably a waste
of time unless you are very lucky.
In order to get some DP to pay for more of these packs, I really
suggest dueling against some of the WC mode opponents before starting
the story mode.  It will make things a lot easier in the long run.  A
few things are different here as well versus from WC09.  First, you get
to start out with 6 different opponents, and none of them are quite as
intimidating as the opponent's you had to face early in WC mode for
WC09.  Next, you get more DP than you did in WC09 if you lose, so don't
worry about losing a duel.  It will also add to your total duels, which
will help you unlock things earlier and will also slowly allow you to
get more DP from a bonus that counts how many total duels you've played
and divides the number by 10 to give you that much DP at the end of
each duel won.  The last thing to take notice of before we start is
that you now only have to defeat duelists 3x in order to unlock things.
It's a nice and welcome 40% drop in grinding versus WC09 and will allow
you to feel like you're making progress a bit more quickly.  So, let's
check out the 1st 6 opponent's and beat them all 3x each!
Oh, on a quick note - before you begin go to Options --> Duel Settings
and turn OFF Display Card Details unless you want to have to make an
extra click every time your opponent plays any card ever.  It was a
really poorly thought out new design on Konami's part. =/
Princess Pikeru
Cure Princess
600
She uses a Pikeru and Curran deck that tries to heal her LP while
dealing damage to your's and stalling to keep you from attacking.  If
you bring some spell and trap destruction effects, and can get rid of
her stall cards then she shouldn't be much trouble.  I don't think she
is able to make any monster have more than 2000 ATK, so summon a decent
beatstick and get rid of her stall cards to glide to an easy win.
You'll earn a Star Chip after beating Pikeru.  This won't mean much to
you right now, though.  It's just a side game for after the story mode
is finished.  You will get another Star Chip every time you beat an
opponent for the 1st time in WC mode.
Herald of Green Light
Guardian Angel
600
He uses all 3 Heralds to attempt to negate your spell, trap, and
monster effects.  While this means you need to be careful not to back
yourself into a corner, it also means that he is going to very rapidly
use up all the cards in his hand so as long as you play smart and keep
your card advantage you shouldn't have too much trouble.  His best
beatstick is Soul of Purity and Light, who can be special summoned by
removing 2 LIGHT monsters from his grave.  She has 2000 ATK and drops
the ATK of your monsters during your Battle Phase, so you'll need a
2400+ beatstick if you want to go heads up with her.  I suggest just
using some monster destruction effects to take her out.  The other
really big hitter you need to look out for is Honest.  Be very careful
when you attack an attack position monster Herald controls, because
there's always the chance he'll drop an Honest to beat you.  Herald
uses almost no traps cards, which should be a relief to you, but
instead he uses Destiny Board.  It shouldn't be too big a deal, just
make sure to hit any piece with some sort of s/t destruction effect
before all 5 pieces are on the field or else you will instantly lose.
My last advice is to have some way to get rid of Arcana Force 0 - The
Fool.  He can't be destroyed by battle, so I suggest using Mist Valley
Soldier, who can return him to the hand and let your other monsters
swing for damage.  You can also just destroy him with effects if you
have enough of the necessary cards in your deck at this point.
Fortune Lady Light
Entrusted Fortune
600
Obviously, she uses a Fortune Lady deck.  Watch out for Slip of Fortune,
which can help her swarm you on the next turn while protecting one her
monsters from your attacks.  Another card that will help her swarm is
Inherited Fortune, which can let her bring out 2 Fortune Ladies on her
next standby phase, and if she special summons Water, she will draw 2
more cards.  Additionally, she can even special summon higher level
Fortune Ladies like Dark with that effect which means you may have to
face some powerful beatsticks.  If her Fortune Ladies stay on the field
too long you could be in trouble, so make sure you're taking them out
before their stats get too out of control for you to handle.  If you
can plant a nice beatstick on the field and back it up with some traps
you should be fine.  Don't lose hope if she gets a really good hand and
beats you once or twice, because her deck also has the ability to get
her some really bad starting hands as well.
Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes
Venom Venom!
600
She uses a "Venom" deck that focuses on stalling you while Venom Swamp
weakens and destroys your monsters.  Save as much s/t hate as you can
so that when she plays Venom Swamp you can destroy it immediately.
Other than that, the only major combo to watch out for is that
Damage=Reptile can let her immediately summon Vennominon.  Never
destroy Vennominon with an effect if she has a face-down card, because
it could be the card that allows her to summon Vennominaga.  If she
does manage to do that (although, you really should be able to stop
her), then she has extremely good chances of winning since Vennominaga
is completely immune to monster, spell, and trap effects, so the only
way to beat it is with Burn cards or a monster with higher ATK (not
easy to do in most cases).  Take out Venom Swamp and don't allow
Vennominon or Vennominaga to be summoned and you should have an easier
duel.
Nanobreaker
Konami Commando
600
Nanobreaker uses a bunch of Warrior-type beatsticks in her beatdown
deck.  The strategy is fairly linear, and if you can summon a beatstick
of your own with 2400+ ATK she shouldn't give you too much hassle.  I
suggest if she summons Sasuke Samurai #4, that you not bother going
through the 50% chance of losing your monster if you can help it.  Just
destroy him with an effect.  Save your s/t destruction effects for
cards like Burden of the Mighty and Skill Drain.
Izanami
Izanami's Summon
600
Izanami uses a Spirit monster deck.  She relies HEAVILY on Mausoleum of
the Emperor.  Without that card she is fairly easy to deal with.  With
that card, she can be a pain in the butt by summoning Dark Dust Spirit
every turn.  Save all your s/t destruction effects for Mausoleum of the
Emperor.  If you can take that out, then the only thing you have to
watch for is Izanagi who can be special summoned and is a decent
beatstick.  Luckily for you, she will often play Royal Oppression,
which you can use to negate Izanagi's summoning, however it also means
you probably won't have access to your synchro monsters much in these
duels.  A neat trick is if you have Mystical Space Typhoon or Dust
Tornado, wait for her to use Mausoleum's effect and take damage, then
chain to Mausoleum's effect and destroy.  She won't get to summon a
monster, but she will still take the 1000 or 2000 damage.  Also note
that you can use Mausoleum yourself, so if you want to add a few larger
monsters to your deck for this duel, feel free to do so.  One last
thing, be careful not to play too many small monsters onto the field,
because Izanami can summon Asura Priest who has 1700 ATK and can attack
all your monsters.
If you've dueled all of those opponents and won 3x each, then by now
you should have 20 duels, which unlocks a new pack - World Championship
Edition 1!  Let's take a look at what it has to offer:
World Championship Edition 1:
Monsters:
Abyss Soldier
Blue Eyes Shining Dragon
Deep Diver
Gilford the Lightning
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon
Silent Swordsman set
Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord
Violet Witch
Winged Rhynos
Spells:
Mind Control
Traps:
none of value :P
Well, there's a lot of really weak cards in this pack mixed in with a
very few very powerful ones.  Mind Control is awesome if you're using a
lot of tuners in your deck, since you can just take an opponent's
monster, summon a tuner, and Synchro Summon what you want.  Red-Eyes
Darkness Metal Dragon (REDMD) is the core card of almost any Dragon
deck, so if that's what you're aiming for (although I don't recommend
it for now), then go try to pick him up.  Overall, I don't think this
pack is worth buying at this point in the game for you.  It will
probably be a waste of DP.
So, after doing all those duels in WC mode you should've had a chance
to buy some packs and upgrade your deck.  Now, it's time to finally
head into the story mode and let the fun begin!
--------------------------------
[CH1]
V. Chapter 1
Well, 1st you get to see a scene of some guy with white hair (you'll
find out who he is later) getting tortured by Chief, whom you met in
WC09 and who you know is a ruthless jailor.  The white haired fellow
teleports outta prison and joins the ranks of some evil-looking dudes.
Next, you get to see a bunch of monkeys chasing some little midget
around in the forest.  Yes, this is a very ADHD opening scene.  The
monkey fail and go report to some unknown person who is cackling in the
good old evil villain "Ha ha ha..." style.
Finally, the game asks if you've ever played before.  Say yes or else
you're going to be listening to a long speech.  If you haven't played
before...I suggest reading the tutorial 1st, and then when it gets to
this point still press Yes. xD
With that, the game starts chapter 1.  You start by dreaming of some
shadowy person begging for your help in a foresty setting, but wake up
to find yourself in a chamber with 2 people named Seria and Sayer.
They're talking some mumbo jumbo about you communicating with the
Spirit World, and generally treating you like a little guinea pig.  You
wake up and they haul you over to a room.  Once there, Seria gives you
a "Supplied Deck" which you have to use for the time being.  Next, you
get introduced to your roomies, Okita and Liquid (seriously, who names
their child Liquid?? ... mother probably was a boozer =/).  Liquid
tells you that you're in the Arcadia Movement headquarters and
generally thinks of you as weird for not knowing this blaringly obvious
fact.
Eventually, the game gives you control of your character.  Go ahead and
save now so you never have to watch all that crap over again.  Use the
floating, spinning, green diamond to save.  Talk with Okita and he'll
ask you to duel.  Do it.  Just do it.
Okita
Healing Psychic
Well, the deck they give you turns out to not be too shabby.  You've
got some Psychic monsters along with some Genex monsters and some all
around not too shabby cards.  You've also got some decent Synchro
monsters.  This deck is probably better than what you've been playing
with.  Okita, on the other hand, has a deck that is such a piece of
crap you should have no trouble at all beating it.  He's got all the
goodies.  Everything from Red Medicine, to Sparks, to a bunch of
vanilla monsters.  You don't need my help here.  Just go crush his
pitiful butt!!
After beating him up, Liquid attempts to get a duel in with you, but
he's cut off by Sayer, who has a mission for you.  Enter Akiza Izinski,
who is participating in the Fortune Cup.  While she's dueling, your
mission, should you choose to accept it (not that you have a choice),
is to infiltrate the event hall and go support her.  This message will
self destruct in 3 2 (boom).
What?  I can't have a mission impossible pun now?  Anyways, save again
so that you never have to listen to that crap again.  Go talk to Liquid
who is by the doorway and he'll ask if you're ready.  Of course you are,
so say yes.
You'll wind up in somewhat familiar territory if you've played WC09.
This is just south of the event hall.  Head north and check out the
front entrance.  It's blocked by a guard who won't let you through.
You could go over and talk to Okita and Liquid who are now standing off
to the right of where they were before, but let's explore a bit.  Head
east a screen.  Go to the far-northeast side of the screen to find a
green trash can.  Click on it and you'll find a DP code . . . for 2000
DP!!  Well, doesn't that give you some nice pocket change?  Save it,
there will be use for that dough soon enough.  Head east another screen
and check the 1st trash can you see at the top of that screen to find a
Star Chip.  None of the other trash cans have anything for you and you
can't go anywhere else, so now's the time to go talk with Okita and
Liquid.
Apparently, Okita found a secret entrance.  They'll be the look-outs
for you, so that means you get the honor of breaking and entering . . .
i mean inviting yourself in.  Here, you'll find the 1st puzzle of the
game.
I'm not very good at creating maps, so instead I'm just gonna try my
best to give you some step-by-step instructions on how to get through
this maze.
1. Go as far to the northeast as possible and push the block there
north as far as possible.
2. Go 3 spaces west of the block you pushed and push the block there
south 1 space.
3. Go to the far west side and push the block there down 1 space.
4. Push the northern-most block as far east as possible.
5. Go 4 spaces west of the block you just pushed and push the block
south of you down 2 spaces.
6. Push the block that is now just west of you west 1 space.
7. Push the block that is now just south of you south 1 space.
8. Push the block that is now just east of you east 1 space.
9. Push the block that is now just south of you south 2 spaces.
10 Head to the southwest corner to exit the map.
That puzzle was a bit of a nuisance, eh?  Well, get used to it because
more will be coming in the future.  Just be thankful you have me around
so you won't have to do things more than once. ^_^
You'll exit into open air.  Just south of where you exit is a pile of
boxes.  Check them to find a DP Code for 600 DP!  More nice pocket
change.  w00t.  Go ahead and use the save point here so you don't have
to go through the puzzle again.  When you're ready, head north through
the doors.  Go east just a bit to find the door to the waiting room,
which is where you were supposed to infiltrate.  The game will cut to a
scene of Akiza dueling Yusei Fudo.  The two have a bit of a quarrel,
and it becomes obvious that Akiza has beaten wife syndrome as she
doesn't want to think for herself.  Listen up kids, thinking for
yourself is a good thing.  Don't just be a puppet in life. ^,^ Well,
enough of me making good karma.  Yusei goes and shows her that he's
right and she's wrong by of course beating her in a children's card
game.  Good job Yusei . . . oh wait, we're supposed to be rooting for
Akiza. o_O
The scene cuts to you and Liquid in the waiting room as you hear the
duel finishing outside.  Okita pops in to tell you both that Akiza just
lost.  You head out to the hallway to find Sayer comforting Akiza.  He
tells you that the plan is on hold and that you should go home.  In
other words, everything you just did was a great big waste of time
(unless you took my advice and found the 2600 DP and Star Chip).
Oh, but things can't end so smoothly!  A half-bald, purple-haired
weirdo named Lazar who works for Director Goodwin shows up in an
attempt to get Sayer to speak with Goodwin.  Sayer tells him to shoo,
so Lazar goes and gets all violent.  Sayer's time is too precious to be
occupied beating up goons.  Good thing you're here for that!
Tashiro
Equip & Tribute
880
I'm not really sure what this guy's deck is . . . because I beat him
way too quickly.  Anyway, he has a bunch of very weak vanilla monsters
and I never saw any decent spell or trap cards used by him, so I'm
assuming you shouldn't have any trouble taking care of him considering
the fairly decent deck you've been provided.
After beating Tashiro, Lazar decides to fall back.  In other words,
he's a complete and utter coward who isn't even willing to attempt
dueling with you. ^_^ Time to head back home with Liquid and Okita...or
maybe not quite yet.  Just as you're about to leave, glasses-girl Carly
comes up to your and announces that she's a journalist and she wants to
know everything about the Arcadia Movement (not that you know anything
anyway).  She decides the best way to pump you for information is to
duel, but then the championship match starts and you become a small fry
in her ADD mind.  You follow her out to view the match and see a giant
red dragon in the sky.  The game cuts to the final scene of Yusei
claiming victory over Jack and becoming the new king.  Upon seeing
Yusei and Jack, your head apparently starts hurting and you get a
flashback of a time when you knew Jack and Yusei a bit more intimately.
Again, this ADHD game switches scenes on you to Sayer comforting a
tired Akiza, and continuing to bend her to his will.  Once again, you
regain control of your character back in your room.  Please save now so
you don't have to deal with any of that ever again!
Ok, leave your room and then head east.  In the next room is an
elevator you can't use, and 1 more room east is a door you can't open.
So if this isn't obvious enough for you, head south, which will take
you outside.  There's nowhere to go outside except for the path to the
west, so head that way and go through the doors there.  Here, you'll
meet Check and Nino, who will give you Duel Puzzle and Structure Duel
training.  Let's start with Check and his Duel Puzzles.  Here's the
answers to them.  Note that if I tell you to summon or special summon a
monster it should be assumed to do so in attack position unless I
specify otherwise.
Compact Duel 1:
1. Summon Acrobat Monkey.
2. Attack with both monsters.
(If you failed this puzzle, you fail at life.)
Compact Duel 2:
1. Activate Malice Dispersion, discarding Cyber Dragon.
2. Special Summon Cyber Eltanin.
3. Attack with Cyber Eltanin (he should have 3000 ATK).
Compact Duel 3:
1. Special Summon Quickdraw Synchron, discarding Plaguespreader Zombie.
2. Normal Summon Stardust Xialong.
3. Synchro Summon Turbo Warrior.
4. Special Summon Plaguespreader Zombie with his effect by sending
Majestic Dragon to the top of your deck.
5. Synchro Summon Stardust Dragon and activate Stardust Xialong's
effect.
6. Activate One for One, ditching Mad Archfiend to Special Summon
Majestic Dragon from your deck.
7. Synchro Summon Majestic Star Dragon.
8. Activate Majestic Star Dragon's effect to negate Dark Armed Dragon's
effect.
9. Activate Majestic Star Dragon's effect to use Dark Armed Dragon's
effect.  Remove Mad Archfiend from your grave to destroy Dark Armed
Dragon.
10. Attack with Majestic Star Dragon.
That's a quick and easy 1290 DP.  We can't do the rest of the puzzles
until after we finish the structure duel training.  I can't really help
much with that training.  It's mostly going to be who can get the
luckier starting hand, however the decks toward the right side tend to
be more powerful, although I suggest taking the time to win with every
deck since it will get you a nice stockpile of DP and will be useful
later on.  Once you've had your fill of Structure Duels, head back over
to finish off the last 2 Duel Puzzles for some easy DP.
Compact Duel 4:
1. Flip Summon Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter and have him destroy himself (he
needs to be in the graveyard as your 4th Lightsworn monster so you can
summon Judgment Dragon later).  Special Summon the Wulf, Lightsworn
Beast you discarded.
2. Summon Tethys, Goddess of Light by tributing Wulf, Lightsworn Beast.
3. Activate Solemn Wishes.
4. Activate Jar of Greed.  When you draw into Celestia, use Tethys'
effect to draw again.
5. Special Summon Judgment Dragon and use his effect to clear the field.
6. Attack with Judgment Dragon.
Compact Duel 5:
1. Flip Summon Reptilianne Scylla.
2. Summon Reptillianne Medusa by tributing Reptilianne Gorgon.
3. Use Medusa's effect on 3 different Marshmallons by discarding Gogiga
Gagagigo, Molting Escape, and Oshaleon.
4. Synchro Summon Reptillianne Hydra.
5. Activate Reptilianne Spawn.  The monster removed for this effect
doesn't matter.
6. Activate Offering to the Snake Deity and tribute 1 of your tokens to
destroy both copies of Swords of Revealing Light.
7. Activate Double Summon and tribute your other token to summon Giga
Gagagigo.
8. Activate Order to Charge, targeting Giga Gagagigo and your
opponent's last remaining Marshmallon.
9. Equip Axe of Despair to either monster and attack with both monsters.
And that is another 2060 free DP for you. =D
Once you've completed the training, you will be able to buy structure
decks.  I'm not 100% certain on this, but I believe that this is how it
works.  After you buy a structure deck, after the next time you win 5
duels in a row, a new structure deck will take its place.  Again, not
sure on this, but after testing it seems to be the case.  Now you know
why I wanted you to save up some DP.  Structure decks are expensive at
2000 DP a pop, but they are worth it as they can very often give you at
least a few very useful cards.  Some structure decks are worth making
an entire deck around, and do not forget that you can always used the
Card Password system I talked about in the beginning of this guide to
get 3 copies of any card you receive from a Structure Deck. ^_^  With
this, you have a wide variety of strategies open to you as far as
deckbuilding is concerned.  Also, if you take a break from story mode,
you should be able to find XX-Saber Hyunlei as an opponent now, so
let's just quickly beat him 3x for consistency's sake and so you can
build up some more funds.  All this DP will come in handy and will be
useful in more than just buying the Structure Decks.  You may feel rich
right now but you won't later so don't go wasting your DP on useless
things. :P
XX-Saber Hyunlei
Sword of Legion
1500
He uses an XX-Saber deck.  The deck can be scary, but only if you allow
it to swarm you.  Bring any high ATK beatsticks you can find.  Planting
a 1900 ATK monster or even better a 2400+ ATK monster should put you
mostly in the clear for this duel, although watch out for traps like
Bottomless Trap Hole and Gottoms' Emergency Call.  He's also got many
good synchro summoning combos to worry about.  XX-Sabers have a combo
with Gottoms, 2 Faultrolls, and Regigura that can deplete your hand to
0, but I've never seen this AI figure out that devastating combo at
least. :P  Still, as of yet this is your toughest opponent.  Don't
underestimate his abilities.
If you've been completing all the structure duels and have been beating
all the opponent's I've told you to up until this point, then by now
you should have won 50 duels, which means you've unlocked a new pack -
Rise of Destiny!  Let's check it out:
Rise of Destiny:
Monsters:
Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive
Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast
Gaia Soul the Combustible Collective
Harpie set
Mirage Dragon
Mystic Swordsman set
Nightmare Penguin
Perfect Machine King
Pitch-Black Warwolf
Roc from the Valley of Haze
The Creator
Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch
Ultimate Insect set
Spells:
Monster Reincarnation
Traps:
Divine Wrath
If you haven't been able to come up with a good strategy to use yet,
then I suggest investing in some of the cards in this pack until you
have enough to make a rudimentary Harpie Lady deck (minus Harpie Queen
unfortunately).  You can use the Card Password function to take the
Icarus Attack you were given in the beginning of the game and make a
couple copies of it.  That should hold you over until you can do better.
Meanwhile, Dekoichi is a nice self-replacing card as I believe I've
said before.  Nightmare Penguin is a decent card considering what you
probably have right now.  Roc is an okayish card, but if you're short
on 2400+ ATK beatstick you may want to consider him, although Thestalos
is obviously the better card to use if you can find a copy of him.
Well, it's been awhile that we've been stuck in 1 place.  I guess we
can go continue with the story mode now. ^_^
Head out and back into the building through the main entrance.  Head
towards your room and you'll be stopped by Sayer.  He wants you to duel
against Akiza.  It doesn't take much convincing.
Akiza Izinski
Wandering Garden
1400
This is a full-out Plant deck, and it is at a level higher than any
deck you should have faced so far.  All I can really say is to hope for
the best.  She is able to make big plays with Tytannial and Black Rose
Dragon, and she'll control you with Black Garden.  Black Garden doesn't
work against flip summons, so I suggest setting your monsters 1st when
it is out . . . if you can.  Botanical Lion is also a very strong
beatstick to be wary of.
Overall I would say your chances for victory in this duel are slim to
none, but that's ok because losing the duel still progresses the
storyline.  Either way, the scene after the duel will end with her
beating the crap outta you with her psychic powers, so enjoy your
beating regardless.  Sayer shooes away Akiza after that little
altercation and you wind up back in your room.  Your next task is to
get some Duel Runner training in.  Head out of the building and go
south a screen.  Map change over to New Dominocity.  This should look
familiar to you now.  Head over 1 screen to the east to find the place
where you'll be doing the training.  Talk with Kawasaki at the gate and
he'll get you set up for a test ride.  Liquid comes out saying it was
harder than he expected, and now it's your turn.  Talk with Kawasaki
again and you'll get started up.
You shouldn't have too much problem with speed since your Duel Runner
isn't very fast at this point.  Just avoid the major obstacles and hold
down the accelerator the entire race and you should easily make it
under the allotted time.  There are some new features to the course
from WC09.  Now, there are speed-up panels (the blocks with the arrows
on them) that will give you a boost.  You need to use these so that you
can clear the jumps you will have to do.  Also, make sure you aren't
going to slowly around the corners near the end or else you won't make
the big jump and your Duel Runner will probably be destroyed before
you're able to make it up the rocky hill down below.  You need to
finish within 3 minutes, but a reasonable time to aim for to call it a
decent run is probably 1 minute, 10 seconds.  If you can do it in under
1 minute, you're looking pretty darn good.  If you press START in the
middle of a run, you can choose an option to start the run over too.
After finishing, Liquid is thoroughly impressed by your mad racing
skills.  As you head off to leave, however, you bump into Yusei, who
recognizes you instantly.  That gets you another flashback of a time
when you might've known him personally.  Crow and Kalin also appear in
the flashback.  Liquid asks if you know Yusei, but Sayer quickly steps
in to make sure that you get as far away from Yusei as possible, as
quickly as possible.  Conspiracy much?  Back at the hideout . . . I
mean the Arcadia Movement building where absolutely nothing bad ever
happens . . . Sayer and Seria are scanning your guinea pig brain as she
talks about how you aren't conscious (seriously, they couldn't tell
just by looking that your eyes are closed?).  Sayer asks if the
brainwashing is wearing off, and Seria responds in the positive.  Sayer
wants to strengthen the brainwashing, but Seria says that it could kill
you, and apparently Sayer wants you alive.  What a way to end Chapter 1,
eh?
--------------------------------
[CH2]
VI. Chapter 2
You wake up in an unfamiliar place with Crow looking over you (he likes
to watch you while you sleep ...).  Crow starts complaining about his
insecurities with securities, and reminds you that you are a teammate
of his in the gang he's in, and that you are in the B.A.D. area of
Satellite.  He wants to make sure you're ok by beating your brains out
with a duel, but forgot that Securities took your deck and his
secondary deck.  Therefore, you guys need to bust into the Security
Compound to retrieve your decks.  For those of you who played WC09, I
know you can see where this is going . . .
Crow gives you a uniform and a key to the facility.  Don't ask where he
got them.  Nobody knows.  Go over to the save point and save the game
so you don't have to view all of that stuff again.  Before we get
started with annoying Story Mode stuffs, let's head back to the WC mode
for a bit and enjoy ourselves.  When you switch modes you'll notice
that 6 new duelists have been added to the ranks, so feel free to kick
all their butts 3x each at this time and work up a bit more DP.  I'll
say this again, don't spend DP on useless things.  You'll want some
saved up for later on.
Clear Vice Dragon
Transparent World
700
This time you're going to be facing a Clear World deck.  This opponent
has very few monsters, so you shouldn't have much use for monster
destruction effects and can probably side some of them out for this
duel.  Instead, the opponent uses Clear World to annoy you while
attempting to use Burn effects to defeat you.  You can either aim at
getting rid of Clear World as soon as it appears, or you can just add a
bunch of Earth attribute monsters to your deck, since the effect you
receive from using them while Clear World is on the field is negligible
in most cases.  This shouldn't be a very difficult win for you at this
point.
B.E.S. Big Core MK-2
Boss Rush!
700
This guy uses a B.E.S. deck. The thing to know here, is how to take
advantage of him.  If his monster is in a battle and doesn't have any
counters on itself, then it will be destroyed regardless of stats.
Additionally, his monsters only receive counters if they are summoned
in the way described on the card, and often he will not summon them in
that way, so look for your chances where you can simply attack his
monster and have it be destroyed even if you have to let 1 of your
weaker monsters get beaten up in the process too.  In the end, he is
actually an incredibly easy opponent and you should not have much
trouble beating him.  If you can even just bring out a 2400 ATK
beatstick he probably won't be able to attack over it. ^_^
By defeating B.E.S. Big Core MK-2 3x, you should unlock Cyber Eltanin
as a new opponent.  We'll get to him later, for now let's continue
where we last stopped:
Solar Flare Dragon
Flame's Power
700
He uses another Burn deck.  You've seen Burn a few times now so I
assume you know how to handle it.  His Burn uses Dark Room of Nightmare,
Solar Flare Dragon, some Volcanic monsters, and basic Burn spells.
Nothing you shouldn't be used to by now.
By defeating Solar Flare Dragon 3x, you should unlock Chaos Sorcerer as
a new opponent.  Again, we'll deal with him in a bit, for now keep
sweeping up the weaker guys:
Underground Arachnid
Wild Arachne
700
She uses an Insect deck.  She has quite a few powerful monsters and is
capable of swarming the field, so make sure you've prepared a fair
amount of monster destruction effects in your deck for this duel.  Lair
Wire can be particularly nasty since it costs her no card advantage and
lets her destroy any of your monsters be them face-up or face-down.
Another of the new cards to watch out for is Shiny Black C.  This card,
when in the graveyard, can be removed to destroy a Synchro monster when
you Synchro summon it!  The effect is quite good, and I suggest not
focusing too much on Synchro summoning for this duel because of that.
By crushing Underground Arachnid 3x, you should unlock Destiny End
Dragoon as a new opponent.  As before, we'll take care of him later...
Mist Valley Apex Avian
Birds of the Mist
700
Mist Valley decks concentrate on returning cards on both sides of the
field to their respective players' hands.  This means you should try to
focus more on using some solid, no-tribute beatsticks and put less
focus on Synchro Summoning and using higher level monsters, since they
may well end up getting returned to your hand or Extra deck which would
leave you most of the time in a bad situation.  If you understand how
to fight against a Mist Valley deck, you should find that it isn't that
big of a challenge, although it may be tougher than some of the easy
duelists you've been playing against recently. :P
By sacking Mist Valley Apex Avian 3x, you should unlock Superson Skull
Flame as a new opponent.  Will deal with him in a bit.
Witch Doctor of Sparta
Spartan Damage
700
This guy may very well have the most annoying deck in the history of
all history.  He uses a ton of searcher monsters and will just keep on
continuously bombarding you with them.  Either find a way to remove
them from the field outside of battle (Lightning Vortex is great for
this if you have it), or just summon a ton of monsters with 1500+ ATK
and let the beatdown frenzy begin.  He will also use Dupe Frog and Flip
Flop Frog to further annoy you with lockdowns, so be wary of those.
Nobleman of Crossout and Shield Crush could go a long way toward
beating him.
Cyber Eltanin
Ultimate Strike
1200
He uses a LIGHT Machine deck that focuses on combos with Future Fusion,
Cyber Eltanin, and Overload Fusion for quick OTK's.  This can give him
a lot of bad hands early on, but it also means sometimes he will just
start with a god hand and there will be nothing you can do to stop him.
Try packing Bottomless Trap Hole and cards like Sakuretsu Armor and
Dimensional Prison, which can give you a chance of defeating his big
monsters when he tries to OTK you.  If you can shut down his OTK
attempts, your chances of victory will drastically improve.
Chaos Sorcerer
Light x Dark = Chaos
1200
His deck packs a bunch of DARK and LIGHT monsters so that he can summon
Chaos Sorcerer.  Thunder King Rai-Oh is a tough card that can stop your
synchro summons and any searching effects, while also having a whopping
1900 ATK.  You'll want to take care of him ASAP.  He also uses Ryko,
Lightsworn Hunter and Cyber Dragon as some of his other LIGHT monsters,
so just know that you're going to have your hands full with that
monster lineup.  The DARK side of his lineup also has some strong
beatsticks such as Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer, so it's nothing to scoff
at either.  He'll also be 1 of the 1st opponents you'll have met with a
full s/t lineup including all the staples like Mystical Space Typhoon,
Heavy Storm, and Mirror Force.  There isn't much of a strategy I can
give you for this guy other than to just try to be balanced, take your
time, and do the best you can to cope with his powerful cards.
