Duel Puzzle Solutions (WC10)
In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2010: Reverse of Arcadia, duel puzzles are encountered in three places:
- Inside the training facility next to the main Arcadia Movement building (talk to Check).
- Inside Bootleg - the bar in the Daimon Area of New Domino City (talk to Owner).
- Via the 'Tutorial' menu in World Championship Mode, although these duel puzzles are downloaded via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, and so the heading 'Duel Puzzle' will only be there if you have downloaded at least one of these puzzles.
These duel puzzles, like the duel puzzles of past games, present you with a duel scenario where it is your turn and you must win during that turn using only the cards available to you. The following is a list of all of the duel puzzles in Reverse of Arcadia, as well as the solutions to each.
Arcadia Movement (Check)
Check can be found inside the training facility next to the main Arcadia Movement building, and presents you with five different duel puzzles to solve. Towards the start of 5D's Story Mode you are asked to hone your dueling skills in this facility, and one of the methods of doing this is to solve three of the five duel puzzles that Check presents you with. Check's puzzles are the easiest in the game and should be a breeze for anyone with any prior dueling experience.
Compact Duel 1: Normal Summon "Acrobat Monkey", as "Jerry Beans Man" will be destroyed and removed from play by Check's "Bottomless Trap Hole". Then, attack Check directly with Acrobat Monkey and "Tune Warrior" for the win. Do NOT Synchro Summon "Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth", as he too will fall to Bottomless Trap Hole!
