GX SPIRIT CALLER MAX LEVEL & CARDS SPEEDRUN

GX SPIRIT CALLER MAX LEVEL & CARDS SPEEDRUN

General Notes:
- Mash A and B (or click the touch pad) at once over and over to go through text quickly throughout the run
- Much of the game is going through text, dueling, and having time pass by clicking on areas quickly, and going to sleep in your room at night. Literally passing time quickly is a skill for this run
- I personally use a template I place over the DS emulator touch pad in order to know what areas I want to click on throughout the run. So I physically made a picture with a bunch of squares located where various buttons and stuff you click on throughout the run would be. Then I removed the background of the photo, then used a program called PureRef, which lets you control the opacity of the picture and whole program, then lets it be transparent to the mouse so you can click through the program, onto what’s behind the program. TLDR: Imagine a program that acts as a clear template to place over another program, that’s what I used to help guide what to click on regardless of what was showing on the screen in-game
- For duels, split after pressing “OK” during the Duel Result screen.
- Will probably save after every duel, it’s kinda slow but I hate brick hands

Duel Notes:
- If you don’t know how much damage you need for game, go for Cyber Twin. If you likely need to pierce thru stuff, go for Cyber End.
- If you have Cyber Dragon and Cyber Stein, if you go for BEUD you need 1400 after Cyber Dragon + Cyber Stein attacks
- AI will attack the strongest monster it can destroy. With Jinzo, Cyber Dragon, and Mystic Tomato on the field, it attacked Cyber Dragon with a Giant Orc
- If you know the opponents uses Scapegoat, going for Cyber End over BEUD makes sense
- The CPU is too dumb to go for game even if you have low life and could attack over a weaker monster. It seems to set if you have a monster it can’t climb and would lose next turn. Maybe it even has “scoop” AI, as in it basically passes a turn if it knows it can’t win

BEFORE RUN STARTS:

- Mash A and B (or click the touch pad) at once over and over to go through text quickly throughout the run

 - Keep mashing and wait until you run into Dorothy before school before doing stuff

*****

RUN STARTS:

- Lighthouse at night, run starts here during the black screen transition to the event

- Jaden triggers that night when you try to sleep. Can lose this duel and continue.

*****

- Next is to get 1 win on Brier and Beauregard. Tend to find Beauregard in the evening, Brier at night

- Event triggers when Crowler approaches you and Jaden at school for the 2nd time. When you go to your room at night, Jaden approaches you, starting an Endless Night

- For the event, you first find a random encounter in the Hot Spring area, then a random encounter in the Ra Yellow area. Called “Duelist in Disguise”, shortened to D-I-D in the splits

*****

- Next event is Chazz, must beat Torimaki and Mototani twice to trigger it. Mototani is pretty frustrating. Edit the deck:
 - Take out 3 Mystic Tomato, 3 Nimble Momonga, 1 Brain Control, and 1 Tryce for all 8 side cards. Beat Mototani twice
 - Mototani Notes: Don’t try to drag on these duels. After maybe 3-4 turns if it doesn’t look like an easy win just reset.

- Syrus will come to your room 2 days later when you try to sleep. Go to Ra Yellow area for the Chazz event marker.

*****

- Edit the deck back to how it was before

- Next event is Alexis, need to beat Mindy and Jasmine twice each to trigger it.
 - Mindy has Marshmellon, hold onto E-Con and potentially Shield Crush

- Event triggers when you get a mail message at night, go to the Obelisk Blue Girls’ Dorm

*****

- Get a duel spirit, equip it in your room by clicking on the closet and entering that menu.

- After 2 school days, duel Chazz at Duel Field

- Next day, edit the deck. Take out 1 Cyber Dragon, 1 Mystic Tomato, 1 Card Destruction, 1 E-Con, and 1 Tryce for 5 side cards not named Dust Tornado. Then duel Bastion at Ra Yellow Dorm

- Next day, Jaden goes to your room to trigger Blair event. Go to Obelisk Blue Boys’ Dorm first, then find her as a random encounter in Forest area

- The morning after, Bastion challenges you to your 2nd duel with him
 - (Noticed on a Friday, with Adhesive Explosive after Bastion morning duel, you skip school? Trying to figure bug stuff out, didn’t really lead to anything significant)

*****

- Trigger Chumley dropped cards event at night, try in Slifer Red area a few times and reset, then look in Forest area. Can take multiple tries. (Forgot to equip a duel spirit one time before, may be random, maybe not game is screwy)

- Next day Scary Stories event unlocks at night when you enter your room. Titan is the next day
- Titan Notes: Has DD Assailant, Spirt Reaper, Wall of Illusion, Night Assailant as sets, as well as Slate Warrior. Ring of Destruction and Battle Scarred are his scarier backrow cards

- 2 days later are the Para and Dox duels, must edit Jaden’s deck:
Monsters: 17
1 Avian
3 Clayman
3 Sparkman
1 D.D. Assailant
1 D.D. Warrior Lady
2 Stratos
2 Wildheart
1 Exiled Force
1 Goddess With The Third Eye
2 King of the Swamp
(Add basically 2-3 copies of all E-Hero Fusions)
Spells: 20
2 E - Emergency Call
1 Fusion Sage
1 Future Fusion
1 Graceful Charity
1 Hammer Shot
1 Heavy Storm
3 Miracle Fusion
1 MST
3 Poly
1 Premature
2 Righteous Justice
2 RotA
1 Swords of Revealing Light
Traps: 3
1 Call of the Haunted
1 Mirror Force
1 Royal Decree
Total: 40
- CPU plays Jaden’s deck, then you duel Para
- You don’t get a chance to save after editing Jaden’s deck, so if you lose you have to remake the deck

*****

- 3 days after, find and duel Chumley in the Hot Spring area as an event marker. Two days after this he goes to your room

- Chazz event marker appears at Ra Yellow Area for a duel.  Then beat both of Chazz’s lackeys twice.
 - You ideally run into Torrey during this split to trigger Jinzo. You can eventually find him at Obelisk Blue Boys’ Dorm
 - Try to reset for good Mototani duels with no deck edits. Putting in 3 Dust makes sense but if you can luck into a good duel without a deck edit, it’s faster.

- Then at night, meet Alexis at the lighthouse to trigger a cutscene, you don’t duel her here.
 - Event may not trigger if your last needed duel is the same night you try to trigger Alexis. Has failed for me when I duel lackeys first and Chazz after.

*****

- Next day Jinzo event triggers when you enter your room at night, go to new place in the upper right of the Slifer Red area

- Duel Dimitri in the Slifer Red area, try to find him during the evening or night. Directly afterwards, duel Tyranno right in front of the Slifer Red Dorm. (May need to wait until morning next school day)

- The next school day, Dimitri event triggers as a random encounter in the Slifer Red area at night

*****

- 2 days later, Tyranno 2 appears in your room at night, can save and head outside to duel him

- Bastion and Jaden school duel event triggers, beat both. After you beat Bastion, mash B and click the touch pad to make sure you can exit and save

*****

- 2 days later, Tyranno 3 appears in front of the Slifer Red Dorm

- 2 school days later, Chazz North Academy event triggers, it’s a match so beat him twice

*****

- 2-3 school days later, you go to Sheppard’s office and trigger the Shadow Riders event. You basically  have to manually enter a new 4th field inside the school over and over to progress this part of the game

- Nightshroud triggers as a random encounter at Slifer Red area at night

- Camula triggers 2 days later at Ra Yellow area (VERY LATE) at night as an event marker, then as a castle the same place next night
(Bastion’s simping throughout the game is just odd lol)

- Tania triggers next school day as a Colosseum at the Hot Springs area at night, then you duel her the next night

- Don Zaloog triggers when you try to sleep, then as an event marker outside Slifer Red dorm

- Abidos triggers at the Lighthouse at night

- Titan triggers by going to the Medical Office, a new area inside school building. Then, go to your room, Jaden appears. Then go to the Abandoned Dorm in the Forest area at night.
 - Titan Notes: Has DD Assailant, Spirt Reaper, Wall of Illusion, Night Assailant as sets, as well as Slate Warrior. Ring of Destruction and Battle Scarred are his scarier backrow cards

- Amnael/Banner triggers two school days later at the Abandoned Dorm, beat him twice. It’s a killer to reset out of the 2nd and face him twice again
 - Amnael Notes: Has 2 DD Warrior, DD Assailant, Spirit Reaper, Morphing Jar, and DD Warrior Lady. Also has Mirror, Torrential, and Ring, also has Grand Convergence. No Lightning Vortex

*****

- Event marker appears at the Harbor in the Slifer Red area, then another down low in the Hot Spring area. Beat Atticus and Chazz.
 - Atticus Notes: Magic Cylinder, 1500 ATK Searchers, Trap Hole, Fissure
 - Chazz Notes: Runs stall cards, Marshmellon, Spirit Reaper, Lava Golem, Mirror

- Leave the area and come back, Kagemaru triggers. Edit the deck, take out Crossout and a Monster Gate for a 3rd Tomato and 3rd E-Con. Have to beat Kagemaru 3 times after he summons each individual Sacred Beast
 - Kagemaru 1 Notes: Has 3 Decree as traps
 - Kagemaru 2 Notes: Lots of annoying traps, the only spell is Gold Sarc
 - Kagemaru 3 Notes: Fairly regular deck with plenty fiend cards
 - Probably the least consistent part of the run. 3 E-Con and 3 Brain Control are good counters, try to set more monsters to stall and hope the Sacred Beasts are summoned quickly. Resetting a duel that’s very slow or going nowhere is smart

*****

- Edit the deck back to how it was

- Next is another Chumley event, enter your room at night for a cutscene, then an event marker appears right outside Slifer Red Dorm, beat him. Chumley then leaves 2 school days later
 - Chumley Notes: Has Scapegoat, Dust, Magic Drain, and Sakaretsu Armor

- Zane event triggers, duel him the next day.
 - Zane Notes: Has 2 Gear Golem, 3 Reflect Bounder, Lightning Vortex, Bottomless, Mirror, Ring, and Torrential

- Aster triggers by manually entering the Slifer Red Dorm, not just clicking the button to go to your room automatically
 - Aster Notes: Has Magic Jammer, Mirror, Ring, and Torrential

- Tyranno 4 triggers directly after Aster
 - Tyranno 4 Notes: Has Spirit Reaper, Hammer Shot, Lightning Vortex, Smashing, Bottomless, Dust, Ring, and Torrential

*****

- The next day, manually head INTO the school to trigger the next Aster cutscene, talking about Zane. Yes, it doesn’t just happen automatically like almost every other event. Yes, it’s stupid.

- The same day at night, Jaden appears when you enter your room. Find Syrus as an event marker down low in the Hot Spring area

- Next day you’re told to go to Duel Field where Sheppard announces the tournament. Then, you need to get a ship arrive on a Sunday for Chumley appear. This can feel like it takes FOREVER but you literally need to skip time as fast as you can until Chumley appears in your room on a Sunday morning. Dumbass game tbh.

- Next a cutscene tells you that Chazz will duel Zane. Go to your room, another cutscene happens. An event marker appears right outside. Then at night, go to an event marker down low in the Hot Spring area, then the Forest area and head north into the usually hidden Volcano area for another event marker and duel Nightshroud/Atticus
 - Nightshroud Notes: Has Spirit Reaper, Smashing, 2 Stomping Destruction, 1 Sakaretsu, and Mirror

- A cutscene happens Thursday, then at night enter your room, and another cutscene happens that starts an Endless Night. Find Alexis at the lighthouse, then Syrus as a random encounter in the Slifer Red area. Then go to the Volcano for an event marker and beat Dark Zane
 - Zane Notes: Has 3 Gear Golem, 3 Reflect Bounder, Dark World Lightning, Lightning Vortex, Mirror, and Torrential

- On Friday, beat Aster and Jaden twice in match duels and the run ends. After you beat Aster, mash B and click the touch pad to make sure you can exit and save
 - Aster Notes: Has Doomcalibur Knight, Breaker, D-Counter, D-Shield, and Mirror
 - Jaden Notes: Has Marshmellon, Treeborn, Dandylion, Scapegoat, Shrink, Smashing, Call, Cylinder, Mirror, and Torrential
