===Excavation===
[[Solomon Muto]] retrieved the Millennium Puzzle, in the [[Tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh]].
===Yugi's completion===
[[Joey Wheeler]] and [[Tristan Taylor]] taunted Yugi by taking the Puzzle from him, with Joey going as far as throwing a piece into a swimming pool. [[Tetsu Trudge|Trudge]] later declared himself to be Yugi's bodyguard and beat up Joey and Tristan to extort a payment from Yugi. However Yugi defended Joey and Tristan, resulting in Trudge beating him up too. Moved by Yugi's actions, Joey recovered the piece of the Puzzle he threw into the pool. Yugi solved the Puzzle shortly afterwards and came to believe that befriending Joey was the Puzzle granting his wish.<ref name="ep 3" />
After solving it, Yugi's body bore host to part of Atem's soul, known as [[Yami Yugi]]. Yami Yugi was able to take control of Yugi's body while Yugi had the Puzzle. Yugi often wore the Puzzle around his neck on a brown rope allowing him to easily get Yami's help to play ''[[Duel Monsters]]''.
===Duelist Kingdom===
Yugi again used the Puzzle to switch to Yami Yugi for his first Duel with [[Maximillion Pegasus]]. (In the English dub, during this Duel, Pegasus called Yami Yugi oblivious to the power of the Millennium Puzzle. He explained that 5000 years ago, a powerful Pharaoh locked the magic of the Shadow Games away and captured their magical energies in the seven Millennium Items, one of which was the Millennium Puzzle. And that the magic in the Puzzle could change Yami's life forever if he knew how to unleash it.)<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|2|ref}}</ref>
Pegasus coerced Yugi into taking part in the [[Duelist Kingdom]] tournament.<ref name="ep 3" /> (In the English dub, Pegasus did this as part of a plan to steal the Millennium Puzzle.) Yugi used the Millennium Puzzle to switch to Yami Yugi for his Duels throughout the tournament. In the Duel against the [[Impersonator of Death]], Yami again used its power to deal the "Mind Crush" Penalty Game on his opponent.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|10|ref}}</ref>
[[Yami Bakura]] used the [[Millennium Ring]] to seal the souls of Yugi, Joey, Téa, and Tristan in ''Duel Monsters'' cards after starting a [[Shadow Game]]. He then attempted to take the Millennium Puzzle from Yugi's lifeless body, but the Puzzle activated and Yami Yugi took control.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|12|ref}}</ref> Yami Yugi continued the Shadow Game of ''Duel Monsters'' to free his friends souls, risking letting Yami Bakura take the Millennium Puzzle if he lost.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|13|ref}}</ref>
[[Shadi]] entered Yami Yugi's [[soul room]], looking for the secret powers of the Millennium Puzzle. Yami Yugi challenged him to a game, where he was to find the true mind room among the countless mazes of doors that were riddled with traps. Shadi failed, and was nearly killed by a particular trap which caused the floor of the room to collapse. But [[Yugi Muto]] saved him.
