Duplicate monsters:

This trick requires two controllers. First, create a new profile (P2) in campaign mode.
Save P2 before you do any battles. Then, exit to the main screen. Select versus mode. Load
your main profile (P1) and P2. Go to the Entrance Hall and go to P1's Manage Monster. Go
to "Build Unit". Put the monster you want to duplicate or level up into your
Capsule Stock. Press Circle(3) and select your battlefield. Before you start the battle,
have P1 ante the monster you just put in your Capsule Stock. Start the battle and on P1's
first turn, surrender. Then, go back to the Entrance Hall and save P2, but do not save P1.
Then, return to title screen. As long as you do not save P1, both profiles will now have
the monster. You can repeat this process until one of your profiles has as many of the
monster as desired. In about ten minutes, you will get three of the same monsters into one
profile, which is useful if you want to get three Harpies or three Blue Eyes White Dragons
to fuse together. Also, versus mode is great place to do the fusions, because there is no
threat of an enemy attack. Use the next tip to level up your monsters for fusions.
Get the monster you want to level up into P2, as described above. Then, start the
campaign. Use the desired monster to take out all but one of your opponent's monsters.
Then, use the desired monster to take out your opponent's symbol. By doing this, you can
take a level 1 monster to level 4 to 5 by the end of the first area. Against Joey alone,
by taking out three of his monsters and his symbol you can get 160 experience points and
what is given for the battle experience.

Easy monsters:
This trick requires two memory cards and controllers. Get some monsters up a few levels
and multiple monsters. Remember to save the game. Then, start a new game with a different
name and save it on memory card two. Next, go to versus mode and play against memory card
two. Choose to ante monster cards and only let one player win. This is a very quick way to
receive three Harpie Ladies or Blue Eyes Whide Dragons.

Special monsters:
Some monsters are only unlocked in Grandpa's store if you have met specific criteria. For
example, the Sinister Serpent is only available for purchase once you have obtained 50
Water-type monsters.

More experience points for monsters:
To get more experience for a monster, have that monster destroy your opponent's symbol.
They will get anywhere between 50 to 100 experience points.

Start each round with all your monsters:
Usually when a monster or capsule is destroyed, you cannot use it during the next round.
However, if you start the next round and bring up the menu with "End Turn",
"Unit List", etc. and go to "Surrender" and select "Try
Again", you will restart the level with all your monsters available for use.

Map advantages:
Certain map attributes can cause physical damage to your monsters, such as lakes of lava
and crackling electrical arcs. Only monsters with the same attributes as these dangerous
spaces can pass through unharmed.

Magician Of Black Chaos:
To get the Magician Of Black Chaos, you must have a Dark Magician. The easy way to make
him evolve is get him to level 3. Then, stop using him. When you reach area 5 and face
Kaiba, you should use the Dark Magician. Have him almost to level 4 like 15 exp. to go.
Know when he summons the Blue Eyes White Dragon and find a monster to weaken it so you can
use your Dark Magician. When he kills the Blue Eyes, he will be level 4. Make sure nobody
can kill him. You must wait until the field turns from light to dark. Then when you are on
the dark ship, go to Your Dark Magician. He should have evolve. Select it to get a
Magician Of Black Chaos.

Harpie Lady Sisters:
You must have three Harpie Ladies in order to fuse the Harpie Lady Sisters monster.
Because only two Harpie Ladies are available for capture on Mai Valentine's Valley of
Howling Winds board (and never in the shop), you must play through the game twice to get
all three.

Defeating Joey:
The first fight in the game is with Joey. He uses fire-based monsters. Use water-based
monsters to battle with. Place your token near the bottom corner where the hills slopes
down. Place your monsters surrounding your token to protect it. Make sure you summon all
your monsters before you move their positions. Once you and Joey summon all the monsters.
The field will flood some of the arena, giving the water-based monster a field power up.
Allow Joey's troops to get close to the water so that you can maintain the power bonus.
After a few more turns, the field will flood even more. If Joey's monsters were near the
water, the location where they were at is probably flooded, causing them to get weaker
while you maintain your increased power. Keep hammering away at his monsters for victory.
Additionally, to defeat Joey get or buy water and other monsters that can go on land,
because thewater goes up and down.
