Understanding Blue‑Eyes Ultimate Dragon in Forbidden Memories
The Blue‑Eyes Ultimate Dragon is a powerful 4500‑ATK fusion monster that stands out in Yu‑Gi‑Oh! Forbidden Memories. It requires three copies of the iconic Blue‑Eyes White Dragon, and its presence can dominate duels against both AI opponents and other players. Because the card is not available in the standard shop, acquiring it involves a specific set of actions that many players overlook.
Prerequisites Before You Can Fuse
Before you even think about summoning the Ultimate Dragon, you need to satisfy three basic conditions:
- Three Blue‑Eyes White Dragon cards in your collection.
- The Fusion spell card “Polymerization” in your deck.
- A clear understanding of the game’s card‑acquisition mechanics, which differ from later Yu‑Gi‑Oh! titles.
In Forbidden Memories, the Blue‑Eyes White Dragon does not appear in the regular card shop. Instead, it is obtained through a combination of boss battles, hidden events, and the “Card‑Shop + Card‑Shop + Card‑Shop” glitch that can be exploited on certain stages.
Step‑by‑Step Guide to Getting Blue‑Eyes Ultimate Dragon
- Unlock the Blue‑Eyes White Dragon
- Progress through the main storyline until you reach the Egyptian Tomb area (Stage 5). Defeat the boss “Dark Magician” and you will receive a Blue‑Eyes White Dragon as a reward.
- If you miss this reward, you can still obtain the card by completing the “Secret Treasure” side quest in the same area. This quest requires you to collect three hidden “Ancient Relics” and will grant a second Blue‑Eyes White Dragon.
- Obtain a Third Blue‑Eyes White Dragon
- After the Egyptian Tomb, head to the Space‑Age stage (Stage 8). Defeat the “Space‑Age Boss” using a deck that contains at least two Dragon‑type monsters. The victory will unlock a special event where a hidden “Blue‑Eyes White Dragon” appears on the card‑shop screen.
- Alternatively, you can use the “Card‑Shop + Card‑Shop + Card‑Shop” trick: visit the shop three times in a row without buying anything. On the third visit, a rare Dragon card (often the Blue‑Eyes White Dragon) will be offered at a discounted price.
- Acquire Polymerization
- Polymerization is available from the regular card shop after you have cleared the “Battle City” tournament. It costs 3000 credits, a price that can be saved by selling duplicate cards you acquire during side quests.
- Build the Fusion Deck
- Place the three Blue‑Eyes White Dragons and Polymerization in your deck. It is advisable to include a few “Dragonic Sphere” or “Dragonic Revolution” cards to protect your fusion monster from opponent removal.
- Execute the Fusion
- During a duel, summon the three Blue‑Eyes White Dragons onto the field. Then activate Polymerization. The game will automatically fuse them into Blue‑Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
- If you face an opponent that can negate the fusion, use a “Shield of The Gods” card (available from the “Divine‑Beast” side quest) to protect the fusion process.
Tips for Efficient Farming
Getting three copies of the Blue‑Eyes White Dragon can be time‑consuming. The following strategies help you collect them faster:
- Replay the Egyptian Tomb boss fight on higher difficulty levels. Each victory increases the chance of the Dragon dropping as a bonus reward.
- Use the “Card‑Shop + Card‑Shop + Card‑Shop” method on any stage where the shop is accessible. This glitch works best after you have cleared at least 10 battles, as the game’s randomizer is more likely to present rare cards.
- Sell any duplicate cards you acquire from side quests. The credits earned can be reinvested in the shop to buy the Polymerization spell, which is essential for the fusion.
- Keep a “Dragon‑focused” deck when challenging side‑quest bosses. Many hidden events trigger only when your deck contains a certain number of Dragon‑
