Yu-Gi-Oh! forbidden memories mastery

This guide has been written to get all achievements from the RetroAchievements website as fun as possible.

The decisions I made on this guide are to build the strongest deck to farm 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons from Seto 3rd.

Final deck list:

Raigeki x1 Widespread Ruin x3 Megamorph x3 Bright Castle x3 Meteor B. Dragon x3 Dragon Treasure x3 (Optionally, if you get Metalzoa, add it instead.) Skull Knight x3 Zoa x3 Beast Fangs x3 Dark Energy x3 Insect Armor with Laser Cannon x3 Horn of the Unicorn x3 Malevolent Nuzzler x3 Violet Crystal x3

Note: I will not explain the details of what to do exactly step by step in some parts.

Starting deck

The most efficient starter deck should have 1 Raigeki and 1 of either Beast Fangs, Insect Armor with Laser Cannon, Horn of the Unicorn, Malevolent Nuzzler, or Violet Crystal. (This last one is the best one because of probability and not caring a lot about farming, which can be the most annoying part. Or Beast Fangs is good enough to begin with to play with Twin-headed Thunder Dragon.

Beginning the game

You will run away from Simon Muran, then go back with him to challenge him in a duel (check the starting deck here; it's fine to then reset if you don’t get those cards). After beating him, you will defeat him 10 times more in free duels to unlock their achievement and also Duel Master K’s. Save Then you will go with Teana to defeat her and also Villager 1, 2, and 3 (it is important to do this right now because it is the only moment to play against Villager 3). After defeating them and going to see the cinematic of Jono and Seto to accept a duel with them, you will go to free duel and defeat them four 10 times. Save Going back to the camping, you will defeat Jono and Seto, then go to free duel and defeat them 10 times.

Side note: If your deck is not strong enough, Jono gives you a good opportunity to upgrade your deck by farming with him, Time Wizard, which can be fused with a dragon to create Thousand Dragon (2400 ATK), and it’s also a very good card for future farms in this game. Go back with Simon and skip all dialogues until losing a duel with Heishin (losing is the only option) and go to the world tournament.

World Tournament

After each duel of the tournament, you will go to Free Duel, defeat the duelist 10 times, save, and continue until you defeat Shadi. Shadi can drop you Beast Fangs, so we are going to farm with him 2 or 3 of them with POW B/C/D. (more details on Final TEC S/A farm) Note: Seto and Rex Raptor also drop Beast Fangs with POW B/C/D, and they have a little better drop of Thunder, and Rex drops Dragon Zombie. But it’s not that drastic a difference, and Shadi also drops Dragon Zombie but with fewer chances.

## POW B/C/D

## To get rank POW B/C/D, it is necessary to use 8 cards minimum from your hand in your first 2 turns, fuse as much as possible, and win from the third turn. At this point in the game, it will be easy to get this rank following this simple step; it’s necessary to remember this detail for future farming.

## You will play against Yami Bakura, defeat him 10 times, save, and then it is not necessary to keep playing 10 times in free duel for now. After each victory, you will save the game and go back to Egypt.

Egypt (kind of...)

You will play against Mage Soldier, where Simon Muran was before. Mage soldiers can drop Dark Energy, so we are going to farm him 3 of them with POW B/C/D. Save You will find Jono where he was last time and move you to the hidden battlegrounds; you will defeat him and Teana; they have a new deck, then defeat them in a free duel 10 times in their new free duel opponent. Save You will keep playing the campaign, then go against the Meadow Mage to defeat him and leave the place to start to farm with POW S/A 3 Meteor B. Dragon and 3 Skull Knights. To farm is necessary to build your deck around Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon (the equips you farmed can be equipped to him). I recommend building your deck with at least 9 Thunder monsters; if it is necessary, use passwords to get them, but you will also have a problem against the field spell Sogen, which can be counterplayed by the field spell Umi or Mountain instead of trying to summon Twin-Headed and equip it 2 times, which is hard. It's necessary to summon Twin-headed with Moon Star first, and the second one with Pluto Star, so if your opponent can defeat the first with the help of Sogen and their Sun Star monster, the second will destroy it. Also, the Pluto Star has a disadvantage against their 3000 DEF monster, and with Sogen it will become 3500 DEF. This is why it’s better to counterplay Sogen with Umi or Mountain. Also, while you are farming, you will get Gaia the Fierce Knight and Curse Dragon, which will make your farm easier, as the fusion of both summons Gaia the Dragon Champion with the Saturn star, which is enough to destroy a 3000 DEF monster (Gaia the Fierce Knight can be equipped with Dark Energy but not Gaia the Dragon Champion). This farm will take a lot of your time and patience.

POW S/A

To get POW S/A, you need to be precise when summoning Twin-headed Thunder Dragon with 2 or 3 monsters, and you can repeat the process several times without problems. In the future, a farm of this rank will be necessary to use equip spells instead of Twin-headed Thunder Dragon.

Thunder monsters recommended: LALA Li-oon; 09430387; 25 Oscillo Hero #2; 27324313; 30 Kaminarikozou; 15510988; 30 Mega Thunderball; 21817254; 30 Electric Lizard; 55875323; 35 Electric Snake; 11324436; 40 Bolt Penguin; 48531733; 50 Tripwire Beast; 45042329; 100 Dragon monsters recommended: Yamatano Dragon Scroll; 76704943; 25 Petit Dragon; 75356564; 30 Wicked Dragon with the Ersatz Head; 02957055; 45 Dragon Statue; 09197735; 55 One-eyed Shield Dragon; 33064647; 55 Lesser Dragon; 55444629; 70 Field spells: Mountain; 50913601; 55 Umi; 22702055; 55 Now your reward for this farm is even more farm. You need to get the rest of the equip spells for the final deck. You are going to play against Isis and farm 2 Widespread Ruins with POW B/C/D (while you do this, you probably also got Dragon Treasure). Then you will farm Pegasus with S/A Tec 3 Megamorph and 2 or 3 Bright Castle (more details on Final TEC S/A farm). For this you are going to specifically build a deck to farm.

TEC S/A Deck list: 5 Equip Spells that you can equip to any of your monsters in the deck, with preference on Twin-headed Thunder Dragon. 2 Widespread Ruin 1 Raigeki 3 Meteor B. Dragon 3 Psychic Kappa (dropped by Isis, Shadi, and Rex Raptor) 1 Kappa Avenger (if you don’t have one already, just buy it: 48109103) 6 Water Turtle monsters or 5 Water Turtles + Time Wizard (with less than 1400 ATK) (dropped by Meadow Mage and Isis). 10 Dragon monsters or 9 Dragons + Time Wizard (with less than 1500 ATK, priority on Lesser Dragon, Wicked Dragon with the Ersatz Head, and only 1 Dragon Statue) 9 Thunder monsters or 8 Thunder + Time Wizard (with less than 1400 ATK)

TEC S/A

I will not explain how the point system in the game works. Follow this step by step. There are other ways to get TEC S/A, but this one is the fastest.

• On your first turn, use all your cards in your hand, fusing as much as possible, always successfully equip all cards, and summon the highest attack monster you can. Do not use Raigeki or Widespread Ruin. Your opponent must not have a monster on their field. In the case of Pegasus, it can activate cards like Raigeki or Harpies’ Feather Duster if it begins the turn with a monster.

• Keep doing the previous step until you have in your hand either Raigeki or Widespread Ruin. You will play Raigeki or set Widespread Ruin (it doesn’t matter if your opponent doesn’t control a monster; play Raigeki). It’s necessary that both Raigeki and 1 Widespread Ruin are activated successfully. The second Widespread Ruin can be dropped while equipping or fusing.

• After you have set Widespread Ruin, instead of summoning the highest attack monster you can, you will summon the lowest instead. That monster will attack the opponent's defense position monster. It’s necessary that your Life Points are lower than 7000. If your opponent attacks, Widespread Ruin will be activated. If your opponent didn’t attack, you will have to remember you need to have this amount of life points, so try to force your opponent to attack somehow (in the case of Pegasus, it will be easy as it has high-attack monsters).

• If there are 5 cards left in your deck and you didn’t activate Raigeki or Widespread Ruin yet, it will be necessary that you reduce the number of cards used to activate them both. Using 3 cards instead can be enough. Also, this is important because the duel needs to have 9 turns passed, and using all 5 to get Raigeki in the last moment can make a duel have 8 turns.

• When your deck has exactly 0 cards, do step one 1 last time and win the duel.

If all of this was done correctly, you will get a TEC A; if not, it is probably bad luck at fusing or by winning on 8 turns. Perform 15 fusions that are necessary to happen, so I will list which fusions are possible with this deck. To unlock the achievement of getting a TEC S, add 3 Widespread Ruins, activate them, and attack 2 Attack position monsters, destroying them and inflicting damage to the opponent will make the TEC S happen in addition to all these steps.

Fusions for Tec S/A: Time Wizard + Turtle monster = Water monster with 1250 ATK Water monster + Thunder monster = Thunder monster with 1400 ATK Time Wizard + Thunder monster = Thunder monster with 1500 ATK Lesser Dragon or Wicked Dragon with the Ersatz Head + non-Dragon Statue Dragon monster = Dragon monster with 1500 ATK Psychic Kappa or Kappa Avenger + Water monster = Water monster with 1500 ATK Dragon monster + Water monster = Sea Serpent monster (that is a Dragon) with 1600 ATK Dragon monster + Thunder monster = Thunder monster (that is a Dragon) with 1600 ATK Time Wizard + Thunder monster with 1500 or more ATK = Thunder monster with 1900 ATK Dragon Statue + Dragon monster with 1300 or more ATK = Dinosaur monster (That is a Dragon) with 1750 ATK Dragon monster with 1600 or more ATK + Water monster = Sea Serpent monster (that is a Dragon) with 1800 ATK Dragon monster with 1800 or more ATK + Turtle monster = Sea Serpent monster (that is a Dragon) with 2000 ATK Dragon monster + Time Wizard = Dragon monster with 2400 ATK Dragon monster with 1600 or more ATK + Thunder monster = Twin-headed Thunder Dragon Dragon monster + Thunder monster with 1600 or more ATK = Twin-headed Thunder Dragon

Final TEC S/A farm This is going to be hard and annoying because you need 3 of Bright Castle, Beast Fangs, Insect Armor with Laser Cannon, Horn of the Unicorn, Malevolent Nuzzler, and Violet Crystal. You already have 1 because of the starter deck, and you have farmed Bright Castle and Beast Fangs by now. But there are star chips you didn’t get yet, and they can be useful. Violet Crystal: You are going to farm 2 of these with Isis; Isis also drops Malevolent Nuzzler. Insect Armor with Laser Cannon: You are going to farm 2 of these with villager 3; villager 3 also drops Malevolent Nuzzler. If somehow, you get 3 Malevolent Nuzzlers, you are going to change the farm to Weevil Underwood. As Duel Master K is not as good as Weevil. You are not going to do this farm with him. Malevolent Nuzzler: If you don’t have 2 already, you are going to farm it with Mage Soldier. Horn of the Unicorn: You are going to farm 2 of this with Meadow Mage. For the 3rd copy of each of these cards you are going to spend star chips on them, but you are going to do these later. You are going to defeat Kaiba 10 times in a free duel now that you have a stronger deck with Meteor B. Dragon, Skull Knight, fusions to create Twin-headed Thunder Dragon, equips, traps, and Raigeki.

Egypt

You are going to defeat 2 of the High Mages (the weakest are from Desert Shrine and Sea Shrine) and get 10 victories from them in Free Duel. Save Go back to the hidden battlegrounds and get a cinematic of Jono to save Teana; you have to defeat Labyrinth Mage and Seto 2nd. Then, defeat them 10 times in free Duel. Save You are going to defeat the rest of the high mages and defeat them 10 times in a free duel. You are going to use the star chips or farming for the remaining cards at a cost of 800-star chips (this order is based from hardest to get by drop): Violet Crystal; 15052462 Malevolent Nuzzler; 99597615 Insect Armor with Laser Cannon; 03492538 Horn of the Unicorn; 64047146 Bright Castle; 82878489 Beast Fangs; 46009906 Save

Final 6

You are going to win the game by defeating the final 6 with your deck. The final deck is going to be used against Seto 3rd. As you cannot have Zoa yet, you are going to use Dark Magician (dropped by Meadow Mage) instead. Then go back with a normal deck to defeat the remaining opponents. After beating the campaign, you are going to get the 10 victories against the remaining characters in Free Duel. If you are lucky enough, you can get, at this point, Metalzoa. It is not a creature that deserves a farm because its probability of being dropped by Sebek is extremely low. Save For the last POW S/A farm, you are going to farm against Heishin in the camping by starting it again. You are going to build a deck around the field spell Yami, which is not a starting field in free duel. Meteor B. Dragon, Skull Knight, Dark Magician, Gaia the Fierce Knight, Curse Dragon, traps, Raigeki, and equips are going to give you a lot of victories to get 3 zoa, and for the achievements you are going to get also Kazejin and Suijin. As losing the duel is mandatory to save the game, you are going to do this when you are tired of farming. Then build the final deck and farm the 3 copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon against Seto 3rd with POW S/A. Complete the remaining achievements and done. Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories mastered.
