Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel: How to complete Solo Mode

The Solo Mode in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, contrary to popular opinion, may provide several hours of playtime. Despite the fact that the mode only has four short gates (or chapters) to begin with, players can unlock many more after conquering them. Duelists will need to walk onto newly-unlocked gates in order to finish earlier ones, so this mode isn't as linear as it appears.

Apart from the Tutorial Gate, there are a total of 15 other gates that must be completed in order for Solo Mode to be 100% complete. However, some of the side tasks at these gates will require Orbs that can only be collected in subsequent gates in order for you to accomplish them completely. The Warrior of the Six Elemental Lords Gate, for example, cannot be completed unless 200 Light Orbs are gathered in order to unlock the side chapter's door (as shown below).

Because most new gates may be earned simply by completing prior Gates' main missions, we recommend that newcomers focus on completing the first four Gates' main missions before moving on to their side chapters. Check out the list below for instructions on how to unlock each gate and side chapter in Solo Mode.
