DUELIST CHALLENGE #1 SOLUTION

The first Duelist Challenge is simple, but involves using the most powerful Ancient Gear monsters to take your opponent's lifepoints to zero. Your opponent starts with two facedown defense position monsters. You start with an Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem on the field, and an Ancient Gear Golem in your graveyard.

The facedown card on the left is Hane-Hane, which bounces one monster on the field back to the hand. The monster in the middle is Snowman Eater, which destroys a monster on the field when it is flipped face up.

Unfortunately, if you choose the wrong monster to attack you will fail this quiz. Follow these steps to complete the first Duelist Challenge:

  • Attack the middle monster (Snowman Eater) with Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem.
  • Activate Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem's effect after it is destroyed.
  • Special Summon Ancient Gear Golem from your graveyard to the field in attack position.
  • Attack the last monster (Hane-Hane) with Ancient Gear Golem.

Reward - 20 Gems
