Version Updates
===========================================================================
Version 0.1
20 December 2004:
Started with this Walkthrough, Completed Prologue.
Version 0.1.5
2 January 2005:
Added the first two parts and some parts of the Chart Tables.
Version 0.3
3 January 2005:
Completed the walkthrough up to Altin's Flood. Added some monster data as
well.
Version 0.5
5 January 2005:
Completed the walkthrough up to Suhalla Desert. Added some data on the
weapons to the chart tables
Version 0.6
8 January 2005:
Completed the Walkthrough of the entire game, still have small details to
add and rephrase some sentences. All of the boss battles have summaries of
all statistics now.
Version 0.7
5 May 2005:
Added some information about the Passwords in the proper Appendix,
included the controls section, introductions of all the main characters,
the story and started on the FAQ section. I also filled in some of the FAQ
questions.
Version 0.8
7 May 2005:
Continued on writing parts of the Walkthrough that haven't been done yet.
I added some more data to the Monster Compendium, added additional data for
some of the Boss Battles.
Version 1.0
15 May 2005:
Finally finished the first version of the Walkthrough at last.
Version 1.0a
[First Released Version]
30 August 2005: Uploaded the FAQ after reopening my account again. I added
numberings and totals for all the hidden items / chests, thus I found out
that I collected 170 hidden items & chests.
Version 1.1
23 February 2006:
Thanks the a few e-mails I've been able to correct some of the mistakes in
the FAQ. One of the main issues was that I thought the Mythril Circlet was
dummied whereas it is NOT! Fortunately there are people kind enough out
there to notify me about these matters (really, I do respond rather quickly
to most e-mails). Other than that there were some small cosmetic changes.
Version 1.2
12 July 2006:
With the aid of some more mails that I received two additional hidden
items have been found (thanks to Shadow Revnyx), a glitch in the ultimate
transfer password was fixed and the mix up between Power bread and Mint for
the hidden cavern in Vale was cleared. I also fixed some more simple typos.
Version 1.3
10 August 2006:
After playing GS2 and writing a walkthrough for it I discovered some
things about the class power ups that apply to this game as well. So I
revised the Class tables! Also I found out that I forgot to count the Blue
Keys and the Red Key from Crossbone Isle and some of the other scenario
items to the Hidden Item total. So the number gets increased by seventeen
giving a total of 214 Hidden Items & Chests.
Version 1.4
27 August 2006:
Small changes to the lay-out. Added the Hard Nut from the Bilibin
Barricade to the hidden item list (forgot to add it). Also added a
realistic password for those of you who wish to transfer all the important
stuff, but not the game spoiling overpowered statistics.
Version 1.4.5
29 September 2006:
I updated the password section and altered the Maximum password, because I
figured out a way to include the GS2 items. These are oh-so much more
powerful than the GS1 weapons. Second I also included a Collector password
which included about every single artifact that is not obtainable in GS2
(it even included the Ninja Sandals and other Dummied Out item). Other than
that some typographical errors are fixed as well.
Version 1.5
18 October 2006:
Added a method for getting the "5x Perfect Bonus" Match in the Lucky Dice
game at Tolbi. Using this method you can 999,999 Coins in no time at all.
The credits go to Eric Hokenson (also known as PPK on the gamefaq message
boards). Included some data about RNG methods as well, since the
aforementioned tactic abuses the RNG of this game. See the Stuff section in
Appendix F.
Version 1.6
27 February 2007:
Added the Warrior's Helm (located by Jeffry Ng) and an unknown Vial (found
by Kate) in Kalay to the item list. Hence there are 2 new items leading to
a cumulative total of 216 items in this game. Also included a strategy for
perfect leveling up at the bottom of the Stuff section at the end of the
FAQ also on credit of Jeffrey Ng.
Version 1.7
17 March 2007
Nis pat found a new treasure in Tolbi (9 Coins near the entrance of Babi's
palace). Jeffrey Ng revealed a secret trick to put ALL your Djinn on
standby/set in one go.
Version 1.75
18 June 2007
A small update which speaks about the problem of using the linkage system
with GBA SPs. Chris Maka found out about this problem. It turns out that
only GBAs with wired link seem to function properly.
Version 1.8
20 November 2007
This update fixes some of the errors in the walkthrough and includes a
method to get an infinite supply of Game Tickets for Tolbi's Slot machines.
Version 1.9
22 March 2009:
After some delays all the feedback I received from everybody has been
processed. Thank you all for your response! Don't hesistate on sending in
any missing / new info or other improvements This FAQ won't die for
quite some time. ^_^
Version 1.95
8 August 2010:
Update after some mails about some notes on the Lucky wheel. Also added
3 missed hidden items (2 in Xian and 1 in Bilibin). Also corrected smoke
bomb to sleep bomb in Lunpa.
Version 1.99
28 April 2013:
Added two missing Lucky medals (one in Lunpa & one in Tolbi). Reformatted
the Tolbi fountain's reward table.
Version 2.0:
11 June 2016:
Added missing sleep bomb (Imil) & Vial (Lunpa fortress). The latter was
already in text, but it wasn't mentioned in the short list at the start of
the section. It somehow amazes me that there are still things to be
discovered after all these years.
===========================================================================
Frequently Asked Questions
===========================================================================
Q: Is it Djinn or Djinni?
A: Actually both; you see Djinn is plural for Djinni. 'A single Djinni or
several Djinn'. That is the question.
Q: How can I use "Growth" Psynergy?
A: The answer to this is pretty simple: You need to have an adept in of the
right class in other to use Growth. Equip a Mars Djinni to Isaac or a
Venus Djinni to Garet and either one will be capable of using "Growth".
Q: How can I use Whirlwind Psynergy? Ivan can't use it anymore.
A: Put all of Ivan's Djinn on stand-by and he can use Whirlwind again,
this is caused by the class differences, similar to the previous
question. Take note that Felix and Jenna can use "Gale" as a substitute
in their Ninja class for "Whirlwind".
Q: I can't get over the sand streams. The currents are too strong!
A: Use the B button to make Isaac run. While running diagonally against the
current and into the direction you want, you can reach the other side
without falling down.
Q: Which Djinn/Class combination is the best to use?
A: For most of the game where you have only few Djinn you can best stick to
the standard and default combination:
Isaac: All Venus Djinn
Garet: All Mars Djinn
Ivan: All Jupiter Djinn
Mia: All Mercury Djinn
This party is strong and you can use many Djinn and Summons without
getting any severe downgrades. After you obtain all 7 Djinn of each type
you may want to switch to a combination of different Djinn like:
Isaac: 4 Mercury + 3 Mars => Dragoon
Garet: 4 Venus + 3 Jupiter => Samurai
Ivan: 3 Mercury + 4 Mars => Ranger
Mia: 3 Venus + 4 Jupiter => White Mage
Statistically speaking this is the best balanced and most powerful
overall combination, with very powerful mixed Psynergies. However if you
use any Djinn at all the downgrades become really terrible.
Also take note how the Djinn are distributed among the characters, you
can see that Isaac the Venus Adept (who is strong to Earth and weak to
Wind) only has Mars & Mercury Djinn. The same applies to the others. You
may want to check the Appendices for more information about Classes and
Djinn assignments. Also beware that the mixed setup makes it in some
cases more difficult to get Djinn Kills. See Appendix F under Djinn Kill
for more information about this matter.
Q: Those stupid monsters won't give me the required item drop I want!
A: Look at the bottom of the FAQ under the Stuff section. There I will
explain the tactic of abusing the random number generator of this game
in such a way that you can get any(!) rare item drop with 100%
guarantee.
Q: Is there a way to put all your Djinn on standby more easily? It is too
tedious to do it one-by-one.
A: Well, yes there is actually. Press and hold the "R" button in the Djinn
selection screen. Then tap 'select' to set or release all Djinn in one
go. No more sore hands! ;) Why this trick wasn't included in the manual
eludes me...
Q: I passed the Mogall Forest and can't return to any of the older places.
Is it still possible to return to any of the older locations such as
Vale, Vault, Fuchin and such?
A: After going through the Lamakan Desert and reaching Kalay there's a
small entrance in the mountains to its north. Inside the cavern is a
path leading back to the first part of the game. From there on you reach
any of the locations prior and including the Mogall Forest.

Controls
===========================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controller
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-Pad
------------
Walk around on the map with your leading character. Take note that you can
walk diagonally in this game too! It is also used to select different
options if those are available (you know, the usual).
Start
------------
Start the game or in the Field display the Pause Menu
Select
------------
Use it in the field to display Field Commands Menu. Or in the Djinn
selection screen hold R then press Select to put ALL Djinn on set or
standby in one go.
A Button
------------
Use it to confirm an attack or command. Also used to talk to people
in villages, open chests and pick up items when you examine objects.
B Button
------------
Most often the opposite of the A button: Cancel an attack or command. In
the field used to run. This can be very handy so use this option well!
Top L Button
------------
Use a direct Psynergy Link attached to the L button in the Psynergy menu.
Useful if you need to use a certain Psynergy often like Reveal or Move. On
the map you can use this to zoom out a little, so you can see where you
headed towards. Inside a battle this can be used to view your statistics
and settings for a certain character.
Top R Button
------------
Same as L button, but for another Psynergy you can select independently
from the L button. On the world map you can use this to bring the entire
world map on-screen. Inside a battle this can be used to view your
statistics and settings for a certain character.
In the Djinn selection screen hold R then press Select to put ALL Djinn on
set or standby in one go.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game Selection / Start Menu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This dynamic menu appears when you start up the Golden Sun Game Pack.
After you press 'start' at the Title Screen (or right away when it is the
first time you start the game). There are several options here that may
change depending on what you can do, at that moment. There are 3 save files
in total for you to use. Here are is a brief summary of all the options:
New Game (Light flash from a jar)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This does simply what it says. You start a new game, beginning at the
prologue. You do need to insert a name for your leading hero. Isaac is the
default name and that is the reference name I will stick to as well. This
option only appears if you have at least one empty file. You automatically
begin with a new game if you start up the Golden Sun Game Pack for the
first time.
Copy (Two papers; one is purple)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Indeed it copies a game save from one slot to another, however if you have
2 empty slots you cannot determine to which slot it gets saved though. This
appears only if you have 1 or more empty file.
Erase (A paper with a piece of gum on it)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This erases the selected game from the memory permanently. So be careful
when using this option. It only appears if you have at least one saved
game.
Continue (Some stairs)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
With this you can continue on where you left off the last time you saved.
It appears of course only if you have any saved games. With this you can
continue on where you left off the last time you saved. It appears of
course only if you have any saved games. If you have a damaged save file
than you may start from the last sanctum that you visited. But beware that
it might be possible that some items are lost, that may cause you to get
stuck. Use this option if there is no other way to retrieve the data.
Battle (Two people facing each other)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This brings you to the battle arena, which is actually a mini-game that
can be played for fun against a random enemy or you can also compete
against a friend in a Linked Battle (Check out the Battle Arena Section
below for more information). Your characters (Djinn, Items, Psynergy,
Statistics and Configuration) are read from one of the game files before
you enter the arena. Any alternations are NOT remembered, this means that
if you use an item in the Battle Arena and you continue on the regular game
with the same file the item will still be there. This option appears just
like continue, erase and copy when at least one Game Save is present, but
only after you obtain your first Djinni.
Send (Letter with a magenta stamp on it)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The last option that can be displayed in Golden Sun's Start Menu is the
secret Send option. With this you can transfer data from GS to GS: the Lost
Age. Check out Appendix F for more information about this Linkage system
and how to make this option appear out of the blue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pause Menu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
While playing the game you can press Start on the field screen in order to
bring a small menu up. Here you can do three things, save the game on one
of the game slots, put the game in sleep mode so you consume less battery
power (if you don't want to switch it off yet) and finally can change the
appearance of the window if you like too. Personally I like the default
blue or one of the lighter greenish tones.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Field Commands Menu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
During regular game play you can enter this menu, when you are in the
field. Sometimes the Field Commands Menu appears instantaneously if you
examine a peculiar object. This usually hints you that you need to use a
specific object from the Inventory. There are several options you can
choose between.
Psynergy (figure with a whirl of energy)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Select this to get the menu for Psynergy in which you see and use the
Psynergy for each character. Some of the Psynergies can do healing while
others like Move and Lift can be used in the field. Just select them and
press 'A' to use them right away.
You can also assign a shortcut to 2 Psynergies as well. Stand on the
desired Psynergy and press either L or R button to highlight that Psynergy,
and press 'A' to confirm that you want to assign that Field Psynergy to the
desired button. This way you can use it a lot easier than having to open
the entire menu time after time (e.g. "Mind Read" is often required in
villages).
Djinn (Venus Djinni)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Djinn Options may seem a bit complicated at first, but it is not that
bad. If you have some trouble however understanding the information about
the Djinn you can always press 'Select' in this menu to see additional Help
data on this subject. Also when you meet your first Djinni he will also do
some explaining on how to use Djinn properly. Therefore I will keep my
explanation here rather short. A Djinni can be in either one of the
following 3 statuses: Stand-by (white text), Set (red) and Recovery
(yellow).
Normally a Djinni is on Set which means you can use him in battle; this
can be changed into Stand-by by pressing either Top L or Top R button. The
color of the Djinni's name will turn into a red color to mark it on "Stand-
by". If a Djinni is on Stand-by it can be unleashed in a Summon (or it can
be set again using the Set command) this does more damage than a regular
attack. After this happens all Djinn used in the Summon will be assigned to
the Recovery status.
In Recovery a Djinni can't do anything other than waiting to recover to
the 'Set' status. This happens when you walk around in the field or when
you go through the next round in combat, 1 Djinn per turn can be recovered
this way until all Djinn are back in Stand-by again. When a Djinni is in
Stand-by or Set mode, they can be assigned to other party members as well.
Just select the Djinn with 'A' to highlight it and move it to the desired
party member. Of course you can't assign all Djinn to one member so they
can only have even amount of Djinn in which case you can only Trade it. In
the other case one character may have 1 Djinn more than the other so you
can also Give a Djinni next to trading it.
Item (An opened Chest)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This opens the inventory screen where you can see all the items in your
possession. A thing I didn't like about the inventory setup is that it is
chopped up in 4 parts of 15 items; one for each hero instead of one big
inventory. This means that in some cases you will have multiple copies of
items roaming over the place. It can be quite annoying sometimes when you
want to equip armor to someone whose inventory is already full, meaning
that you have to swap items usually more than once. Luckily most common
items can be stacked meaning that 1 character can carry up to 30 of the
same kind in one space. As displayed you can use the L+A buttons to arrange
all items by the default order, the other visible option is the R button
which shows you the current equipment for that character.
When you just entered this menu, you can select the inventory of the hero
you need by pressing right and left. If you found the required item press A
so you can select that item with the cursor. After doing so information
appears at the bottom of the screen and you can see six options of which
some may be grayed out.
Option What it does
-------- -------------------------------------------------------------
Use Allows you to use that item
Give Give the item to another character
Equip This only works on weapons and armors of course
Remove Unequip the weapon/armor if it was equipped initially
Details See additional detailed information of that item
Drop Throw the item away permanently. Use this to make room in the
Inventory if you really need to, else I'd recommend to sell
as much stuff as possible.
Status (Three papers)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In here you can rearrange your party format if you like. Just press L and R
to move the individual characters from left to right moving them next to
the other characters. If you press 'A' when you select a hero his/her data
will appear in the screen below it.
There are three different Status Screens on display. Starting with the
Detailed Statistics Screen. Here you can see the Class, Ailment Status, all
statistics and the current Djinni for that person (The statistics are
described in the next section). Press 'A' again to see the next screen;
with a list of Psynergies available. Here you can see all the Psynergy
spells that person can use. For each spell there are five things to see
here (from left to right): Icon, Name, Psynergy Point Cost, Type and its
Range.
For the types we have:
Color Type (Kind)
-------- -------------------
Yellow Venus = Earth
Red Mars = Fire
Blue Mercury = Water
Purple Jupiter = Wind
-------- -------------------
The following possible icons for the range are displayed:
Image No. of Targets Additional information
-------- ------------------- -----------------------------
| One Target -
.|. Up to Three Targets Center Target has most effect
.|||. Up to Five Targets Center Target has most effect
.|||||. Up to Seven Targets Center Target has most effect
||||||| All targets All Targets have equal effect
--------------------------------------------------------------
The last page displayed the current items in the inventory of you
character. Take note that you can also see the Elemental properties of some
of the weapons. For example the Gaia Blade has a Yellow dot next to it if
you display it here. This means that it is a Venus elemental weapon, hence
it cause more damage to enemies weakness to earth.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statistics
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like most RPGs the characters in Golden Sun have statistics that increase
by leveling up and equipping weapons and armors. Here's a brief summary of
kind of statistics used in GS.
LV - Level
- - - - - -
This is overall strength of a character measured on a scale from 1 to 99.
Each time you gain enough Experience by battling enemies you go up one
level and all your statistics are increased a bit. Sometimes you will also
receive a message about a new Psynergy that is learned.
Exp - Experience
- - - - - - - - -
As mentioned in the description for Level, experience is used for becoming
stronger. The first weak enemies you encounter will only drop 1 Exp, but
later on these numbers will increase quite a lot (and even more in Golden
Sun: the Lost Age). Take note that the amount of experience you get from an
enemy can be enhanced by killing an enemy with a Djinn Unleash of the
element type which that enemy is weak for. For example a Grand Golem is
weak against Wind. So if you unleash a Jupiter Djinni against it, it will
do more damage and if it kills the Grand Golem he will give 133% Experience
& Gold (the chance for item drop quadruples too).
HP - Health Points
- - - - - - - - - -
This number represents how much damage a character can take. If this meter
reaches 0 that person gets downed. If all party members are downed you lose
the game and have to start over at either the last sanctum or the last save
point (you are however allowed to save the data up to that moment though).
So always try to keep these numbers as high as possible using healing
spells and/or items. This number can also be increased by eating a Power
Bread.
PP - Psynergy Points
- - - - - - - - - - -
Using Psynergy requires energy, and so we have the Psynergy Points which
show how much Psynergy a character can use. Each time you use such a spell
this meter gets drained a bit. Take note that Psynergy is slowly regained
by walking around in the field. Similar to HP, PP can be increased if your
character eats a Cookie.
ATK - Attack
- - - - - - -
This number simply displays how strong your character is physically. The
higher this number the more damage direct weapon attacks will cause. It can
be increased permanently by devouring an Apple and temporarily in battle by
using Psynergy spells like Impact, Angel Spear and others.
DEF - Defense
- - - - - - -
The amount of defense determines how much damage you take from direct
enemy attacks. Of course the higher this number the stronger you are
against enemy attacks and the less damage you receive. It can be increased
permanently by using a Hard Nut on your character. In battle you can use
Psynergies like Protect and Guardian. Note that an attack in this battle
system will always do at least 1 point damage.
AGL - Agility
- - - - - - -
Agility appears to have only one function in battle; it determines who
will strike first in a turn. The higher this number is the earlier you can
attack, Ivan (Wind Elemental) is very fast and is usually always the first
character that may launch initial attack. By eating Mint a character can
gain a few points permanently and by using the Djinni Zephyr in battle you
can temporarily raise Agility as well.
LCK - Luck
- - - - - -
The final statistic used in this game is Luck. It's a bit hard to tell
what luck does exactly, but according to the manual the higher this number
the stronger you will become against special attacks and the smaller the
chance is that you will be affected by an Ailment. Luck is the only
statistic that cannot be increased by Psynergies, Leveling up or Djinn
Unleashes. The only thing you can do is using Lucky Pepper on a character
to increase it by 2 points or setting some of the Djinn may also increase
it by 1 or 2. Also some of the stronger and rare armors seem to affect luck
as well.
Elemental Power / Resistance
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Finally there is the elemental power and resistance that each character
has. The initial setup for each character is by default:
Property | Isaac | Garet | Ivan | Mia
-------------------------------------------
Strong | Earth | Fire | Wind | Water
Weak | Wind | Water | Earth | Fire
As you can see the main characters are all strong against one element (the
element of their own type) and weak to the opposite element. By setting the
proper Djinn to the four characters this may change into a different
setting. For example: if we give Mia a few Mars Djinn she will become
strong against Fire, but not necessarily weak against water. It depends on
the values of all four elements! Check the Status Screen to see these
values. For all Elemental Powers and Resistances the maximum limit is a
value of 200. The type with the highest value for Resistance is the type
against which the ally is strong against, the lowest value is the type
against which the character is weak. Some equipment (especially later on)
can dramatically change these values. So it would be wise to look at the
elemental properties of the armors too, instead of only looking at which
armor has the highest Defense value.
Also the same default applies to the Power values, e.g. Isaac can do more
damage with earth elemental attacks (be it Psynergy, Djinn Unleash or
Summon) and less with wind elemental attacks. Once again these numbers can
too be changed by setting the right Djinn / equipping items to your
characters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ailments
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I'll describe the main ailments that are used in this game. An
ailments is a special status that can be caused by an enemy attack like
poison or things like that. Most of the ailments are quite annoying, so try
to prevent them as much as possible.
- - - -
Poison
- - - -
The Poison status often is induced by enemy attacks, which cause your
character to take about 5 to 10% of Maximum HP damage each following round
until he/she is downed. The damage is luckily only little so you may last
several rounds without too much injury. Poison also remains active after
you leave a battle, if you walk around in the field with a poisoned
character it will take damage too. So do be careful with this in the long
term. In battle a character will have little green skull floating next to
him/her in order to denote this status. Here are some cures:
Antidote - This item will remove poison for one character
Cure Poison - The Mercury Psynergy will work on one ally too for 2 PP
Unicorn Ring - Using this item in battle removes Poison
Tonic - This Djinni can cure nearly anything for the entire party
Sanctum - In a sanctum you can also cure poison for some gold
Die & Revive - Not my favorite method, but it does work
- - - -
Venom
- - - -
Similar to Poison, but this Ailment does a lot more damage, usually like
20% of the Maximum HP. It doesn't occur that often, but it is lethal
nonetheless. If you get hit by this you will receive a message that you've
been struck with Deadly Poison and it is denoted by little red skull
floating over the infected person. Like I said Venom is nearly the same as
Poison so the same healing tactics apply:
Antidote - This item will remove poison for one character
Cure Poison - The Mercury Psynergy will work on one ally too for 2 PP
Unicorn Ring - Using this item in battle removes Poison
Tonic - This Djinni can cure nearly anything for the entire party
Sanctum - In a sanctum you can also cure poison for some gold
Die & Revive - Not my favorite method, but it does work
- - - - -
Delusion
- - - - -
A character that is deluded has a higher chance of missing its opponent,
although I haven't seen a real significant increase in miss rates it may be
annoying sometimes.
Elixir - This item will cure Delusion for one character
Fairy Ring - Use this ring in battle works like an elixir
Restore - Again a Mercury Psynergy will work for 2 PP
Luck - Sometimes a character can regain its sight by itself
Tonic - This Djinni can cure nearly anything for the entire party
Die & Revive - Not necessary since this status isn't that bad all the same
Battle End - After you finish a battle this status will vanish
- - - -
Sleep
- - - -
Some attacked can make a character fall in a vast sleep so they won't be
able to fight. Its effect is similar to sting since it has the same
property. Sleep is denoted by some "zZz" over the characters head.
Elixir - This item will cure Sleep for one character
Fairy Ring - Use this ring in battle works like an elixir
Restore - A versatile Psynergy will do the job for 2 PP
Luck - Sometimes a character awakens from slumber just like that
Tonic - This Djinni can cure nearly anything for the entire party
Die & Revive - Not necessary since this status isn't that bad all the same
Battle End - After you finish a battle this status will vanish
- - - -
Sting
- - - -
Odd, why they have two different statuses for one and the same effect...
At least the effect is identical to Sleep. Regaining from this status is
exactly identical to the previous status as well. If an ally is hit by this
you can see some yellow angular lines next to that person.
Elixir - This item will cure Sleep for one character
Fairy Ring - Use this ring in battle works like an elixir
Restore - A versatile Psynergy will do the job for 2 PP
Luck - Sometimes a character awakens from slumber just like that
Tonic - This Djinni can cure nearly anything for the entire party
Die & Revive - Not necessary since this status isn't that bad all the same
Battle End - After you finish a battle this status will vanish
- - - -
Haunt
- - - -
This is a bit similar to poison, since it can cause somewhat damage. The
big difference is that it doesn't do damage every single round, it only
happens randomly. Also this ailment can't be cured with conventional ways
and above all this ailment doesn't go away after the battle ends.
Tonic - This Djinni can cure nearly anything for the entire party
Die & Revive - It does get rid of the ghost...
Sanctum - In a sanctum you can also cure haunted people for some gold
- - - -
Downed
- - - -
Of all the status ailments this is naturally the worst since it causes a
character to fall down and disabling him or her permanently. This happens
when either the spirit gets drained (instant kill) or if his/her HP reaches
0. In most RPGs death isn't considered as an ailment, but in GS the game
clearly refers to it as Downed hence I included it here in this list. You
cannot heal a character in order to undo this status, but you may revive a
character using the following:
Quartz & Dew - These Djinn can revive (although it doesn't always work)
Revive - The Venus "Revive" Psynergy can cure this status
Water of Life - Revives and fills all HP
Sanctum - The spiritual can revive in exchange for some gold
- - - - - - -
Sylphon Seal
- - - - - - -
This ailment is also known as the more common 'Silence' Ailment, which
causes magic spells to be blocked. This means that your character can no
longer use Psynergy attacks. It is denoted by a rotating Purple Seal next
to the affected character. Unlike the other ailments this one can affect
bosses as well.
Luck - A character may regain Psynergy abilities automatically
Tonic - This Djinni can cure nearly anything for the entire party
Die & Revive - Not necessary since this status isn't that bad all the same
Battle End - Once the battle is over the seal is gone
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
'Predict Downed' / Curse
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
I don't know anymore how this status is called in battle, but it appears
when you get hit by an attack with in which you can see a candle burning
over your character. If it connects you will see 3 big flames and 1 small
flame. Each turn a flame is extinguished (big flame is 2 turns), and if all
flames are gone the Grim Reaper appears to deliver you the fatal blow,
causing Instant Death.
Elixir - According to the game description this should work
Restore - This will Dispel Grim Reaper
Die & Revive - That would be silly in this case
Battle End - Quickly end the battle and the bad omen is lifted
- - - -
Cursed
- - - -
The last status I will note here is the Cursed status. This status only
appears later on in the game when you find and equip your first cursed
weapon / armor. Cursed weapons are usually quite strong, yet they have the
annoying ability to paralyze the character in rounds 2, 5 and 7 (and more)
of a battle when he/she is using it.
Also once you equip a cursed weapon you can't take it off anymore, which
means that you are stuck to it. This status is attached to the item and
even though a sanctum can remove the cursed item from your equipped slot it
doesn't dissolve the curse on the item itself. Therefore the cursed item
will always remain cursed. There is of course one way to prevent the
paralysis; by equipping a Cleric's Ring you can use the weapon / armor
without the effect of getting paralyzed randomly. However this still
doesn't remove the curse from the item. So the only way to unequip is by
going to the Sanctum.
Sanctum - Removes the item from your equipped slot, but not from
the item itself (it remains cursed).
Cleric's Ring - Cancels the paralysis effect out, but does not remove
the cursed item for a character.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combat System
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The battle system of Golden Sun is a 'Turn based' battle system, in which
a good strategy much more important, than good timing at pressing buttons.
Battles in Golden Sun are almost always random encounter, with the
exception of certain events and bosses. All Dungeons/Tower/Caves and the
World Map in Golden Sun have an infinite supply of enemies in store for
you, the random encounter rate is in my opinion a bit on the high side at
some parts of the game. This is annoying especially if you're trying to
solve a big puzzle. There may be many battles, but it is not that bad as
Tales of Phantasia however which happens to be master of random battles by
far to my knowledge (that game is still nice though).
Anyway, when you walk around in the field you may have a chance to
encounter a random battle against 1 to 5 enemies at most. You'll hear an
enemy growl and the screen flashes to let you know a battle is about to
commence. Your characters get warped to the battle arena where they are
standing next to each other opposite of the enemies. At the start of each
turn there will be 3 options you can choose between:
Battle Options
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fight (Figure with a sword)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If you choose this you can select which attacks you want to use on your
enemy. See below for more information about these battle tactics.
Flee (Running figure)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
You can always try to run away in a regular battle. Most of the time this
will be successful, sometimes however there will be no escape and you will
have to endure the attacks of your enemies without having a chance to
strike back. So I recommend not overusing this option. I think you won't
need to use it if keep your party maintained, because you can take on most
regular enemies without too much effort on reasonable levels.
Status (Three papers)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Before you start combat you may wish to check your statistics and such.
You can do this by selecting this option. I myself hardly ever use it,
though.
Battle Methods
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take note that you can always go back to the Battle Options by canceling
(pressing 'B') in this menu. You can also use this to go back some steps if
you reconsider the attack you had assigned to an character.
Attack (figure swinging with a sword)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Use this option for a direct physical attack on 1 enemy with the weapon
your character is currently holding. If the targeted enemy gets killed
before he/she can land a blow the computer automatically executes the
Defend command for that character.
Psynergy (figure with a whirl of energy)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Use battle Psynergy on one or more targets. You will get an additional
list of the possible Psynergies that character can use, after selecting the
Psynergy you can (in most cases) choose the target on which the spell must
be applied to. If this is also a multi target spell the Psynergy will have
most effect on the center enemy; the enemy with the biggest Cursor arrow
over its head.
The power of the Psynergy is mainly determined by the amount of Elemental
Power that you have for that element. You can see the elemental power of
each character in the statistics screen; these powers can reach a value up
to 200, which is the maximum limit. Also take note that the Psynergy will
do less damage if the corresponding Elemental Resistance of the target is
higher.
Unleash Djinn (Venus Djinni)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Using this you can unleash the special ability of a Djinni in combat. Most
of these attacks are quite strong and useful. Do be careful that after you
unleash a Djinni your characters power decreases a bit since the Djinn will
go to Stand-by mode. Finally the statistics may drop even more when your
class degrades to a lower type, because the Djinni is no longer Set. On the
other hand putting more Djinn on Stand-by allows you to use stronger Summon
attacks at the start of the battle.
Summon (Tall black creature in a cube)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The summon attacks are truly the most devastating attacks you party
members can use. The Summon of a single Djinni on itself is not that
strong, but you can use Summons of up to 4 Djinn simultaneously. These
Summons are the very strong and if unleashed by a character of the same
element they are even more powerful. For example: When Isaac (Venus Adept)
summons a Venus elemental Summon he can do more damage than the other three
could do.
Item (Opened Chest)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
You can use items like Herbs and Elixirs in battle to heal and cure your
party members, but also you can use some of the weapons and armors. Since
some of these have an ability so you can use them as an item, be warned
that Weapons/Armors/Rings you use in battle may break if you use them too
often (Sometimes they already break the first time I use them). If this
happens the object will become useless and you will have to fix it at one
of the Weapon / Armor Stores around the continents.
Defend (Shield)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This option can be used if you don't want a specific character to attack.
In Defend mode a character will raise its defense and thus will take less
damage. Enemies sometimes do this too and oddly it seems that for your
enemy the defend works the entire turn, meaning that they have high defense
even before they actually get a chance to defend.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Environmental Elements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Around the world you will come across various puzzles that need to be
solved, these puzzles usually consist of making use of the objects that are
nearby in your surroundings. Here is a small list of the some of these
elements that you may encounter during the extensive travels.
Foliage
- - - - - - - - -
These little green bushes look lighter than the average normal looking
ones that are in the background. If you use "Whirlwind" or "Gale" on them
they may reveal hidden passages or objects.
Pillars / Columns
- - - - - - - - -
There are several types of pillars in this game and all of them can be
pushed around. Some however serve for other purposes too.
-Tall & Thin pillars
These are roughly twice the length of Isaac and can be used for
creating passages on the upper level of a map (climb a ladder first)
and you can walk over the tops of these columns.
-Small & Fat pillars
Only a few of these pop up in your adventure. Usually you have to push
these into the water so only the top will stick out creating a little
bridge Isaac can use to reach the other side of the water.
-Fallen Pillars / Logs
The kind pillars you'll find on the ground are the ones you can push
around (if no objects are blocking them). Most of the time you have
to push them in a certain order to create the desired path through a
maze.
Sphere Boulders
- - - - - - - - -
I can only remember 4 or 5 of these appearing in the game. The only way to
get past them is by using "Lift" Psynergy which you can obtain in Altin.
Water Puddles / Ice Pillars
- - - - - - - - -
Water puddles can be frozen using "Frost" in order to create an icy and
tall pillar. These ice pillars can then be melted into little puddles again
by placing a heat source next to them like a torch.
Small Plants
- - - - - - - - -
In some places you will come across a little plant that animates against a
huge wall. These plants can be transformed into long climbing vines if you
apply "Growth" on them. Reminder again: in order to get "Growth" give Isaac
a Mars Djinn or Garet a Venus Djinn.
Suspicious Marks
- - - - - - - - -
If you come across some stones that form a circle, a peculiar lone rock or
other odd (out of place) looking configurations try to use the "Reveal"
formula Ivan obtains just before traversing through the Lamakan Desert.
Also "Reveal" can also be used to make hidden objects (in pots, crates)
appear as twinkling little stars! This helps you searching every bit a lot
faster.
===========================================================================
Main Characters
===========================================================================
Isaac - Venus Adept (17 years)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main character of this game is Isaac; he is born and raised in Vale
with his mother Dora and his father Kyle. The people of Vale have always
been the protectors of the Elemental stars that are hidden deep within Sol
Sanctum to the north of Vale. After the dreadful incident with the boulder
on the rainy day Isaac lost his father just as Jenna lost her parents and
brother. A few years later Isaac goes with Garet, Jenna and Kraden to Sol
Sanctum to find out its secrets. Inside they meet the two people who are
their enemies: Saturos & Menardi. They take Jenna and Kraden away, and
leave Isaac and Garet behind in the crumbling ruins. After this event they
set foot outside of Vale on their quest to stop the two fiends.
Pros: Being the main character he pretty well balanced
Cons: -

Items 1. Herb (2x)
Djinn -
-----------------------
Garet - Mars Adept (17 years)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Born in Vale as well is Isaac's childhood friend. Garet is the grandson of
the mayor of Vale. He travels with Isaac right from the start of the game
and he usually makes rather dumb comments during the conversations though,
but is a good fighter although he is rather slow.
Pros: Physically the strongest member of the team
Cons: He the slowest party member
Initial Equipment
-----------------------
Weapon Short Sword
Armor Cotton Shirt

Items 1. Herb (2x)
Djinn -
-----------------------
Ivan - Jupiter Adept (15 years)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This young boy was an orphan found by Master Hammet the merchant of Kalay.
Ivan's most useful ability is to read other peoples' minds, which can be
handy during some parts of the game. Master Hammet gave the mystical
Shaman's Rod (also called the Rod of Hesperia) to Ivan and he seems to have
lost it somewhere in Vault a village to the south of Vale. You may have to
help him retrieve it, after this Ivan joins Isaac and Garet in their quest.
In battle Ivan is rather the opposite of Garet; being fast, but rather
weak.
Pros: Very fast chap
Cons: His physical attacks are weak
Initial Equipment
-----------------------
Weapon Wooden Stick
Armor Travel Vest
Shield Leather Armlet
Helmet Circlet
Items 1. Herb
Djinn -
-----------------------
Mia - Mercury Adept (17 years)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fourth adept to join your party is Miss Mia from ever frozen village
called Imil to the far north. She is protector of the Mercury Lighthouse
just like Alex who happens to be from the Mercury Clan as well. Mia's
greatest asset is her healing abilities. She is capable of healing the
entire party with her Wish Psynergy. Other than that her attack is not that
bad, but she tends to be a bit slow at the lower levels.
Pros: Great Healing abilities
Cons: She is somewhat slow (but not as much as Garet)
Initial Equipment
-----------------------
Weapon Witch Wand
Armor Travel Robe
Shield Leather Gloves
Helmet Wooden Cap
Items 1. Herb
2. Antidote
3. Elixir
Djinn Mercury - Fizz
-----------------------
Jenna - Mars Adept (17 years)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't know if I should place her here or among the main characters,
since she is a playable character too in this game. However she is only in
your group for a very short period so I decided to place her here for the
time being. Like I said at the introduction of Isaac she lost her parents
and her brother Felix after the accident that you will see in the Prologue
of the game. Jenna decided to come along with Isaac and Garet to Sol
Sanctum, but after she does so she is captured by Saturos and Menardi.
Initial Equipment

Weapon Wooden Stick
Armor One-piece Dress
Shield Padded Gloves

Djinn -
-----------------------
===========================================================================
Other important people
===========================================================================
Felix - (18 years)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We don't get to know too much about Felix other than that he was taken
away by the river after the accident during the storm with the boulder that
also took his parents leaving Jenna behind alone. Saturos & Menardi however
rescued him for some reason and he makes his reentrance in Vale again yet
he has different ideas about the issue of Alchemy than Isaac.
Kraden - (Too old)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The old man is a scholar who lives on the far west side of Vale. He has
studied alchemy for quite some time and has vast knowledge about it,
although the long conversations with him seem to be annoying sometimes.
Kraden helps Isaac and the others unravel the mysteries of Sol Sanctum,
which leads to a series of events that cause a great danger.
Sheba - (14 years)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even more mysterious than Felix is Sheba, this young girl appears near the
end of the game. She is called "Child of the Gods" by the people of
Lalivero, because according to the people she fell from the sky as a gift
from God. Lord Babi held her hostage for a long time so he could enforce
the people of Lalivero to build him his own lighthouse for his own needs.
Babi - (Unknown - Near 150 years)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somehow the ancient mayor of Tolbi has strange vitality for someone of his
unnatural old age. He seems to hold some sort of secret that keeps him
kicking around, but lately Babi isn't feeling that well...
Saturos & Menardi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two main villains of this game are both Mars Adepts with great power.
They tried to invade Sol Sanctum, but the defense mechanism in the Shrine
prevented them to enter and that also caused the chaos that one day which
meant the demise of Jenna's parents and Felix. After the prologue they
return to the Sanctum and take Jenna and Kraden hostage, Felix also travels
along with Saturos & Menardi although he doesn't seem to mind it as much as
the other two.
Alex
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last person noteworthy is Alex. He appears the moment Jenna is taken
hostage by Saturos. For some reason he has allied with the villains and
betrayed the Mercury Clan as it was his duty to protect the Mercury
Lighthouse just like Mia.
===========================================================================
Story (Taken from the Instruction Booklet)
===========================================================================
A forbidden power is unleashed...
Nestled away at the foot of Mount Aleph, the most sacred peak on the
continent of Angara, rests a quiet village called Vale. For ages, the
elders of this remote community have been the caretakers of Sol Sanctum -
an ancient temple on the mountain's slope that for eons has guarded the
seal on the ancient science of Alchemy.
Now, that seal has been broken. A mysterious figure is attempting to
release the powers of Alchemy upon the world, a power so great that one who
wields its full force can attain any of his heart's desires = countless
riches, endless life, even the power to destroy the world. Once the
combined power of the four elements - Earth, Water, Wind and Fire, which
together make up all matter - is unleashed, the world will fall to its
knees before the one who wields it. If this horrible fate is to be averted,
a brave soul must now arise!
===========================================================================
Walkthrough
===========================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beforehand
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the registry it is possible to give all main characters from the game a
new name. Normally you can only rename Isaac, but if you like you can
change the other names by pressing the following button combination. I will
keep to the default names myself to make the walkthrough clearer. The code
to do this works as following:
Rename - Garet, Ivan and Mia:
-----------------------------
When you get to rename Isaac at the beginning of a New Game press 'Select'
3 times.
Rename - Jenna, Felix and Sheba:
--------------------------------
When you are renaming Mia press the following button combination:
Up, Down, Up, Down,
Left, Right, Left, Right,
Up, Right, Down, Left and Up.
Now press 'Select' and there you go.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prologue: The Disastrous Day
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Vale--
Hidden Items: 0 (total hidden items / chests: 0)
-
Monsters:
Bat, Vermin, Wild Mushroom (All are the "Weak" Versions of that enemy)
At the very beginning of the game young Isaac is awakened by his mother
Dora. Outside its raining and storming, so your mother dons you in a simple
tunic. You can answer either "Yes" or "No" to all the questions, since that
won't affect the game in any other way. This goes for all conversations
except for really important ones, but I will tell you in advance about
those.
Downstairs Isaac and his mother are warned about the boulder by Isaac's
father Kyle. It turns out to be that the village has to be evacuated and
everybody must head to the plaza at the southern part of town. After some
more talking Dora sends Isaac out to find some shelter in the plaza.
Unfortunately at the moment you walk (or run using "B" button) down a
boulder falls right in your path blocking the way down. So go north until
you find a red haired boy pulling a little package. After telling him to
drop his stuff and save his own life he joins your party. This is Garet he
will accompany Isaac through most of the game.
Walk around (there's only one path possible) and as soon as you go over
the bridge a small cut-scene is displayed. It shows four people trying to
stop a huge boulder from falling down by using their "Psynergy" - a type of
magic used in this world - to levitate and hold it in its position.
Walk towards the west part of the village and go to the most upper part.
Here you'll see an injured man who thinks that he is about to die. This
part is optional and doesn't get you anything, but you can let him live or
die by telling him what to do. Very strange indeed! Head down the stairs
and go around the corner to find yourself trapped in the first battle of
the game. Kill the single Vermin which should not be too difficult since
you get a head start. After exiting this battle the Background Music
changes a bit, walk on to automatically come across the next battle versus
a single Bat. After this go to the right and continue on your path. Two
Wild Mushrooms appear so dispatch of those as well. Then go down, since the
path behind the bridge is blocked by a boulder for now.
The next scene shows how a few people (including Dora) try to save a young
boy named Felix who seems to be drowning in the current. He plays an
important role in the events in the future so remember him. After some time
Felix can't hold on any longer and let go of the pole he was holding after
a few seconds he comes back to the surface, but he can't hold on much
longer. The four people decide that his sister Jenna must go to the plaza
to get some help. Your mother also tells you to help her out by going to
the plaza again to find help for the drowning Felix. Once you're over the
bridge another fixed battle commences. Continue on and head down as soon as
you enter the next part of the village, since there isn't anything to do
around here.
At the bottom of the village Jenna and a strong guy join you, so hurry
back to Felix. Once you're back the moment you walk down to save Felix the
boulder falls down taking Felix and his parents and Isaac's father along
with it. You can talk to the characters here, but that has no effect so go
back to the village on the right and Garet will follow you.
Next you will hear two mysterious people talking about the fury unleashed
by Sol Sanctum (as the BGM suspects they are not very kind people). Since
you were accidentally eavesdropping the two decide that you must forget
everything you heard. They help you forget by fighting you, thus the battle
commences.

Of course you're way too weak to beat the Mysterious couple, so don't
bother just let yourself get clobbered for this time. Even if by some fluke
you manage to beat both of them up you get 0 exp, 0 coins and the game
continues on as if you lost (I've tried this with some codes by changing
both their HPs to 0).
The two people leave town abandoning the Isaac and Garet which are both
knocked unconscious for the moment. The intro screen pops up and the game
continues on 3 years later with the actual story.

* = opens up after completing Sol Sanctum
The town looks peaceful again and Jenna walks towards the home of Isaac.
He is repairing the holes in the roof together with his mother. Jenna walks
farther upward and meets up with Garet who is training intensely to become
stronger by training his Psynergy. After some talking all four meet up near
Isaac's house and after even more talking you can go to visit the old
scholar Kraden, his cabin located near the upper western part of the
village (Near the guy who thought he was going to die in the Prologue).
Garet and Jenna join your party and now you can go to anywhere (well...
nearly anywhere) you like in Vale.
Before continuing on it might be a good idea to get some better equipment
from the shop here in town. Two long swords and Travel Vests for Isaac and
Garet would be nice. You can also buy some new equipment for Jenna, but not
too much, since she will leave your party pretty soon. After talking to
some of the people you will hear about a group of men who have entered town
quite recently. They are described and considered as quite rude, since they
did not pay a visit to the mayor. Inside the inn you can find one of those
guys. He hides his face behind a mask and trying to make a conversation
with him leads to nothing. You better let him be.
The most northern path leads to Sol Sanctum, but first you must meet up
with Kraden so go one screen left near the upper bridge. Here you will find
the two mysterious people from the other day three years ago. They are
talking about Kraden as well, after a while they decide to let your group
go this time and also you get to hear their names: He is "Saturos" and the
woman is called "Menardi". After this conversation the puppies that were
blocking your path earlier on have mysteriously disappeared (as if you
noted that anyway).
Go to Kraden's cabin where you will automatically talk with him. He's
pondering about matters that are lighter than air, but after some sentences
he'll make you; Isaac the leader of the party and joins in too after
picking up some items inside. Proceed towards Sol Sanctum and be careful
not to be seen by the adept that hides behind the tree. He will walk around
in a set path and you can easily get past him, when he wanders off behind
the small shrine.
--Sol Sanctum--
Hidden Items: 8 (22)
Mythril Bag (4x) - Get them from Kraden
Venus Star - Get it from the Venus Elemental Statue
Mercury Star - Get it from the Mercury Elemental Statue
Jupiter Star - Get it from the Jupiter Elemental Statue
Mars Star - Get it from the Mars Elemental Statue
Chests: 3 (25)
Small Jewel (2x), Herb
Monsters:
Amaze, Bat, Slime, Vermin, Wild Mushroom (All are the "Weak" Versions)
In every dungeon/cavern you will come across random battles so be careful,
also in this dungeon you'll come across weaker versions of the 5 enemies
listed above! See appendix B for the complete Monster Compendium.
Your first dungeon starts off with a small puzzle room right away. Isaac
can only jump over gaps that are one space in width so take the rightmost
path to continue on through the corridor to the second Jumping puzzle. Take
the middle path and collect the Small Jewel from the chest, then head back
to the center part of the jumping tiles (the island made of 3 squares) and
take the path on the right. Here you can check the relief of the Minotaur
that is missing one eye. Coincidently you just found an eye, so check the
relief then you can open your inventory and 'use' the Small Jewel on the
Minotaur. This will open the door at the end of the left path, hence go
back, jump over the gaps towards the left and walk through the doorway.
In this room Kraden comes out and tries to find the hidden path, but the
old geezer fails. Isaac on the other hand can find it by pushing the left
and right most statues, however the left statue reveals only a dead end
since the statue in the room behind it cannot be moved. So take the right
path and walk around the mini-maze to find the second Small Jewel from a
chest. Directions are hardly needed here, but the chest can easily be found
by following the left path and the exit door can be found by taking the
path to the north from the central junction.
Once again Kraden comes out and tells you that you need to use your
Psynergy to find the correct path. Use "Move" Psynergy on the 2 left-most
statues to reveal a Minotaur and a doorway leading to another dead end.
Better use the Small Jewel on the Minotaur here too causing a pathway to
open behind the right-most statue. Take that path and follow the left route
and you'll find a chest with an Herb. Go up the middle to reach the central
chamber of the Sanctum bearing the Sun's Crest in the middle. They all
figure out that Saturos and Menardi are thieves trying to rob the Sanctum
of its riches and so they decide to find out what lies further on in the
Sanctum.
After some more talking Kraden stays behind and explores the room by
himself. Go up stairs and you can either go down or upwards. The lower path
only leads to a Psynergy Stone that replenishes all PP (Psynergy Points).
Walk to the north, then head to the left, place the three statues onto the
corresponding spots (Use "Move" Psynergy to place the middle on its correct
position). This triggers a small mechanism that allows you to move the
other four in the right chamber. Kraden comes back after moving the first
one to talk some more. As you notice the Moon changes into Sun and vice
versa, opening the path to the final room. Unequip Jenna here since she
will leave your party very soon, so you can at least sell the items that
would be lost otherwise. Kraden joins you again, then check the crack in
the wall from which the light beam appears. A portal will open up leading
to the very essence of the Shrine.
The sacred room the foursome stumbled upon contains the four elemental
stars of the four elements of which all matter consists. They are: Earth -
Venus, Fire - Mars, Water - Mercury and Wind - Jupiter. After some more
talking again, you have to get the elemental stars because Kraden is too
frail to get to them by himself. In order to do so he gives Isaac 4 Mythril
bags. So take the upper right path towards the Venus Star, next head
upwards for the Mercury Star and back to the Central Island since you can
only get the Jupiter Star. Something strange happens; Saturos and Menardi
show up again! It turns out that the elemental stars are what they were
after too and also they have tagged along the stranger with the mask.
Menardi asks the guy to remove his mask and he turns out to be none other
than Felix!
After some bargaining Isaac and Garet decide to bring them the Elemental
Stars, just after Garet takes off to deliver them a blue haired guy
appears. His name is Alex and he takes the stars over in Saturos' name from
Garet. Isaac still has to collect the Mars star, so go back to the Central
Island and take the right upper path. Head left and you can put the Mars
Star in the final Mythril bag. After removing the final Elemental Star the
Sanctum becomes instable, hence Saturos and the others (including Kraden
and Jenna as hostages) leave Isaac and Garet to their own faith that is
without collecting the Mars Star.
A Cyclops Rock appears which is referred to as the "Wise One", tells them
about the elemental Djinn that have started to appear again and the purpose
of the Elemental Stars. They are meant to ignite the flames of the four
corresponding Lighthouses which will unleash Alchemy upon the entire world
(Up to now alchemy is only known to the people of Vale and few people who
are adept to it). The Wise One can no longer hold the volcano from erupting
and teleports our heroes to a safer place. You might as well use "Retreat"
to get out Sol Sanctum at once. Once the Eruption takes place a huge amount
of Psynergy Crystals are send into the world, these crystals upset the
current balance and mean extra work for you to clear up (but later more on
that).
--Vale--
Upon returning from the Sanctum they tell the Great Healer of the village
about the events that have happened. He asks if Isaac is willing to
undertake this Mission Impossible together with Garet. If you choose "No"
here and you exit the sanctum you will receive a message that the world
will be destroyed and you get a Game Over screen. Then you'll have to start
over in the sanctum, so answer "Yes" to keep things short.
Finally it is determined that Isaac and Garet will save the world from
destruction, by finding the location of the lighthouses. Still not even the
Great Healer knows what they should do when they get there. His only advice
is to seek out for the elemental Djinn.
Preparations are made for the final goodbyes and you receive an Herb and
Catch Beads from Garet's sister and Isaac's nephew. After everybody said
'Farewell' you can leave the village and explore the world. Take note that
you can now equip the Catch Beads to learn the Psynergy "Catch". You can
use this to get the Nut from the tree in the west part of Vale mentioned
earlier.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Solving the Burglaries in Vault
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--World Map - Vale--
Djinn:
Venus - Flint
After setting foot outside Vale you will immediately catch up with a
little spark that is hovering around on the map. This is the first Djinni
you encounter on your travels. His name is Flint; even if you decline all
his offers he will still join your party anyway. He gives a brief
explanation of how the Djinn System works, so take note or just mash
buttons to get past the messages.
Go over the small bridge on the right and head south towards a small
village. Upon entering the village you will see a caravan under command of
Master Hammet leaving for Kalay; however they seem to get stuck near the
second bridge, for the bridge to Kalay is broken and they are attacked by
still falling Psynergy Rocks from the eruption at Sol Sanctum earlier on.
So they have no other choice than to go north towards Lunpa. You can visit
Lunpa too, but other than "Catching" a Nut from the tree there is nothing
to do. Lunpa is a town that is closed to any kind of foreigners.
--Vault--
Inn:
12 coins
Hidden Items: 6 (31)
Sleep Bomb - Barrel at right part of the Item Shop
Nut - Box just outside Mayor's Home
7 Coins - Jar inside home closest to lower village entrance
4 Coins - Barrel inside the home in center of Vault
Mint - Box on the left part on the main floor in the Inn
Bone - After beating the Bandit's team talk to the lady in the inn
(the only way to get rid of it is giving it to the dog)
Djinn:
Venus - Sap (You can't reach him, until you passed the Lamakan Desert)
According to the people of Vault, there have been many burglaries lately,
yet no one knows who stole the items and were they are hidden. After
wandering around you come across the mayor's residence. Inside there is a
young boy who seems to be in trouble. This boy is named Ivan and possesses
a strange power that you will notice as soon as you talk to him. He tells
you about Master Hammet's stolen Rod and asks you to help him find it back.
Ivan then joins your party and advises Isaac to use his Mind Read Psynergy
to find the whereabouts of the rod. Although Ivan comes along with you, he
won't leave the village until he has found the rod. If you do Ivan stays
behind.
Inside the Inn you will find two suspicious people, in order to have Ivan
"Mind Read" them you will need the help of Garet and Isaac too. Try to trap
one of them between the left most bed and the wall, after doing so Ivan
will automatically read his mind and obtains all the information Isaac and
the other need. The stolen goods should be located somewhere in the Inn, so
better start looking. Once you're outside you'll notice that the guy
obstructing the ladder to the broken roof is gone. Climb the ladder and
check out what's going on inside.
Inside the Inn's attic there is a single crate that needs to be moved with
the use of "Move" Psynergy. In the next room, you'll find the stolen goods
and a man who has been kept prisoner here for some time. After releasing
his ropes the bandits from Lunpa come charging in. Time for a Mini-Boss
Battle!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mini-Boss: Bandit and Thief(2x)
-------------------------------
Bandit
HP: 260 ATK: 46 AGL: 20 Weak: All
PP: 0 DEF: 8 LCK: 3 Strong: -
Special: Uses 'Herb' / 'Smoke Bomb', Glowers Ferociously
Exp.: 36
Coins: 46
Item: Bandit's Sword
Thief
HP: 110 ATK: 42 AGL: 9 Weak: All
PP: 0 DEF: 5 LCK: 1 Strong: -
Special: Uses 'Herb', 'Glowers Ferociously' / 'Intimidated' (Skip Turn),
Defend
Exp.: 15
Coins: 32
Item: -
I recommend focusing all attacks on the Bandit, then taking on the others.
Ivan's and Garet's Psynergies do quite well here. Also unleash Flint with
Isaac several times, and don't forget to heal when necessary. It shouldn't
be too difficult to win this battle, since human enemies are weak to all
elements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After their defeat the mayor comes in, takes away the bandits, puts them
in jail and all the stolen goods are returned to their rightful owners
including the Shaman's Rod Ivan was looking for. The mayor tells Ivan that
Master Hammet is taken hostage in Lunpa by Donpa. For now there is nothing
they can do about it, so they'll wait until Donpa makes his move. The Mayor
also requests Isaac to come to his home then he leaves the others behind.
At last Ivan can claim the rod back and thanks Isaac for his help and
leaves off too. Before you leave Vault go and see the mayor to obtain some
Water of Life from him. After everything is safe and sound again you can
leave Vault. Better head east to the Goma Cave Entrance.
--Goma Cave Entrance--
Jump over across the little river and move the two pillars in order to
continue on. Try to move the third one and Garet comes to the conclusion
that it won't work without removing those leaves. Suddenly Ivan reappears,
gives a demonstration of his "Whirlwind" Psynergy and joins your party
permanently. You can also backtrack to Vale and use the "Whirlwind" to open
up a little cavern behind Vale's shop. Inside that cavern is one chest with
a Power Bread in it. Anyway, move the pillar and cast "Whirlwind" on the
foliage to open the entrance of the Cavern.
--Goma Cave--
Chests: 1 (32)
Lucky Medal
Djinni:
Mars - Forge
Monsters:
Ghost, Skeleton, Slime, Will Head, Zombie
The route is pretty strait forward here, jump over the water stream, go
south, down the stairs and to the far right. Put the pillar in its place
and talk to the guy if you like. Go back to the left, jump over the water
near the bottom and follow the path. Go up the stairs again and move the
tall pillar on the right so that you can jump next to it, then walk down
and use Move to push the small fat pillar into the water one floor below.
You can also collect the Lucky Medal from the chest on the right side.
Go back down from here and use the newly created path to continue on to
the right, since you put the pillar in its place just a few minutes ago the
path to the Fire Djinni is opened. Touch him to start a battle:
------------------
Mars Djinni: Forge
------------------
HP: 172 ATK: 45 AGL: 22 Weak: Water
PP: 14 DEF: 9 LCK: 6 Strong: Fire
Special: Flare, Blast, Escape
Exp.: 28
Coins: 85
Item: -
This battle shouldn't provide any difficulty as well. Just make sure you
use the most powerful attacks and Flint to get the job done fast, because
most Djinn tend to leave the battle early by fleeing. If this happens you
must reenter the room so the Djinni is back in its position and try again,
until you are successful.
After collecting Forge, the man below you commends you and leaves the
scene. Jump back, go through the doorway and head up towards another small
pillar. Push it off ramp into the water and jump onto the platform it was
located on, run along the path leading up to find the exit and the village
of Bilibin close by.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Kolima's Curse and the Salvation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Bilibin--
Inn:
21 Coins
Hidden Items: 7 (39)
5 Coins - Jar outside home next to the Inn
Hard Nut - Barrel inside home next to the Yellow Statue in Town
Herb - The jar just outside Sanctuary
Nut - "Catch" it in the tree to the left of McCoy's Mansion
Smoke Bomb - Barrel lower Left corner on 2nd floor of McCoy's
Elixir - Barrel near chimney on main floor of McCoy's
Antitdote - Barrel in the house just to the left of the entrance
Djinni:
Jupiter - Gust
At the entrance of the little town is an odd looking tree sprout. If you
"Mind Read" it you will find out that a human soul is trapped inside.
Further on other people tell about that tree being a person that came back
cursed from the woods of Kolima and other people talk about the fountains
of the Mercury Lighthouse to the North near Imil and its sacred Hermes'
Water that flows there. As you might suspect from this there are two
possible ways to go:
- Go East to Kolima Forest to find out what is causing the curse
OR
- Go North towards the Mercury Lighthouse
Of course you need to do both of them, but going to Kolima first is a bit
easier since the enemies are somewhat weaker. On the other hand going to
the Mercury Lighthouse will introduce you to the fourth Adept of your party
right away. The choice is yours! I'll stick to the original route so I'm
going to Kolima Forest.
Also take note that there is a Jupiter Djinni hidden in Bilibin, go south
from the Sanctuary (walking over the pillar tops) all the way around
Bilibin until you reach a suspicious bush. Use Whirlwind on it and enter
the cave behind it. Move the yellow statue that you find down here and
collect the Wind elemental Djinni: Gust.

3.A Investigating Kolima Forest
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Head north towards McCoy's Mansion and then talk to the guard on the
right. After a conversation he permits you to enter the mansion and you can
go on audience with "zee big boss" of this place: McCoy. Walk up to find
yourself in McCoy's room. This McCoy guy seems to talk with a strange
accent, but never mind that. He declines Isaac's offer because in his eyes
they are nothing but mere children, after this scene the guard does give
some sort of hint that you do not need the key to get past the barricade
built on the east near Kolima... Better head for the barricade yourself
then.
--Bilibin Barricade--
Hidden Items: 1 (40)
Hard Nut - Get from the girl after rescuing her from the water as a tree
after beating Saturos AND before healing Tret. Cannot be done
afterwards!
The moment you get here you'll see the feeble wooden construction which
seems to be the barricade. Use "Move" Psynergy on the left crate to get
past the barricade. Note how three trees are peculiarly stacked up next to
the river, they will feature in one of the little side-quests later on, but
for now go east towards Kolima.
--Behind Kolima Barricade - World Map--
Hidden Items: 1 (41)
Turtle Boots
After passing the barricade you have the chance to collect the Turtle
boots if you head left after the barricade. Somewhere in the middle of the
forest area at the end of the long small island you can find the boots by
checking the ground. They are not that useful, but collectors may like
them. After you did this go head east towards Kolima.
--Kolima--
Inn:
N/A (32 Coins after you break the Curse)
Hidden Items: 4 (45)
Apple - Upper left barrel of the 6 clustered in right corner
Herb - Left Barrel just outside lowest tree home
Lucky Medal - Jar highest level of the Inn
7 Coins - Jar highest level of Weapon/Armor Shop
Djinni:
Venus - Granite
After entering Kolima Isaac and the other find out that all the residents
have been changed into trees. They also notice the sparkling stuff that is
lying around, and then all three characters (or four if you got Mia
already) get attacked by some energy flow and they fall down. Soon they
notice the sparkles falling down from the skies, this is what must have
cursed all the villagers. Somehow because Isaac and the others are Adepts
they have some sort of barrier that shields them from the harm the sparkles
do, thus saving their lives. Then the voices of Tret and Laurel - the two
tree spirit - are heard, Tret is upset that the villagers took their axes
to his brethren and in his madness he cursed all of Kolima. Laurel pleas to
Isaac that he reawakens the softer side of Tret once more and Isaac accepts
that task.
After the cut scene you can see a Venus Djinni (Granite) on the right side
of the screen next to a tree home, but you can't reach it or can you? Enter
the home from the back and go downstairs and follow the path in the cavern
below, eventually you'll reach the Venus Djinni. Granite will join your
party without any fuzz. Leave the village and head for Kolima Forest to the
north.
--Kolima Forest--
Hidden Items: 1 (46)
Nut - Second screen up a tree to the left of the first log
Chests: 1 (47)
Fur Coat
Monsters:
Drone Bee, Rat, Rat Soldier, Troll
Head to the upper left corner and push the left most log into the water
and cross the gap. Walk on to the left to the next screen. Push the first
log to the left, walk down past it, then push the lower left log down, but
don't move the third one. Follow the path to find the third log pushing
puzzle. Note that there is a Nut here, which you can "grab" from the tree.
For the logs you have to move the first one left, go up, around the log
and push it back to the right, push the lowest horizontal log down, the
upper one up and finally the first (vertical) one again to the left. This
log falls in the riverbed and keeps on floating so you can jump over it and
continue on to the next screen. The solution for getting the chest with the
Fur Coat on the right goes like this from the initial setting:
Flip the switch here at the bottom of the field.
Push:
Both horizontal logs -> up
Upper vertical log -> right
Left horizontal log -> down
Lower vertical log -> right
Right horizontal log -> down
Lower vertical log -> Left
Flip the switch a second time
Collect the Fur coat
The solution for reaching the exit from the setting of the "Fur coat" is
simple:
Flip the switch here at the bottom of the field.
Push:
Both horizontal logs -> up
Upper vertical log -> left
Left horizontal log -> down
Flip the switch a second time
Continue to the next screen
On the next screen you will find Laurel and Tret. The conversation with
Laurel tells you that Tret can't be saved. However "Mind Reading" her gives
you the information that Tret can be saved by the sacred Hermes' Water from
at the fountain of the Mercury Lighthouse. If you try to talk to Tret
you'll notice that his bad personality takes over before you can make any
contact with the real him. The only thing you can do is climbing up the
vine.
--Tret Tree--
Chests: 2 (49)
Healing Ring, Nut
Djinn:
Jupiter - Breeze
Monsters:
Creeper, Drone Bee, Gnome, Rat, Rat Soldier, Spider, Troll
Boss:
Tret
In the first room there is nothing else to do, but climbing upwards to the
second. The second level has some leaves over the spider webs on which you
can only jump once, so think about your actions ahead. The left exit is a
dead end. Jump on the leaves from the lower left corner toward the right.
Keep close to the middle path and climb up the vine so you can reach the
third level. You can use the leaf to reach the chest in the middle here; it
contains a Healing Ring. Doing this however does force you to fall down one
level, so backtrack again and use the leaf again to reach the vine at the
top of the screen. Exit the next interior level using the exit at the
bottom of the screen, then go right and climb the vine, before entering the
tree again you can also get a Jupiter Djinni if you take the upper branch
just outside.
--------------
Jupiter Djinni
--------------
HP: 243 ATK: 79 AGL: 42 Weak: Earth
PP: 22 DEF: 20 LCK: 7 Strong: Wind
Special: Flash Bolt, Ray, Plasma, Whirlwind, Wind Slash, Escape
Exp.: 88
Coins: 100
Item: -
This Djinni tends to flee sometimes, so try to stun it with Ivan's Witch
Wand (Stun Voltage Unleash). Take note that Ray can do quite some damage so
keep you HPs up at all time. Other than that there shouldn't be much to it,
shortly after beating this Wind elemental Djinni he joins your party under
the name of Breeze.
After leaving or collecting the Djinni enter the up most room here from
the right and you can collect a Nut from the chest here. Since it is a dead
end the easiest way to backtrack is to fall down one of those leaves. This
time take the left exit and follow the lower branch to find a vine here as
well. Climb it and enter the up most room from the left, once inside fall
down the center leaf that is located below broken leaf. This means you will
have to jump on it twice, after falling down five times you will come face
to face with Tret (I wonder how Isaac survives a fall from 4 stores high).
Better heal, save and set your Djinn right before starting the battle.
After a few words with Tret the battle starts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Tret
----------
HP: 710 ATK: 89 AGL: 30 Weak: Fire
PP: 36 DEF: 27 LCK: 28 Strong: Wind
Special: Growth, Sleep Star, Thorn, Quake
Exp.: 226
Coins: 700
Item: Potion
Better use Forge and the other Djinn to make yourself stronger after that
Summons like Ramses and Atalanta can do quite some damage too. Tret's
attacks are not that strong, but dealing 700 damage can take a few rounds
if you're party levels are pretty low. If you have visited the Mercury
Lighthouse already and met up with the Water Adept this battle should be
easy. Tret does use Sleep Star quite often which can put some of your
character to sleep. Nonetheless you should come out victorious without too
much damage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After beating up the 'evil' side of Tret he regains his senses and becomes
kind again. Then again his rage and this battle have exhausted him so much
that he can no longer save the people of Kolima. As you already heard from
Laurel you need that holy water from the Mercury Lighthouse. So we'll have
to go back to Bilibin and then we need to head north towards Imil.

In order to get to Imil and the lighthouse we have to go north from
Bilibin over the little bridge, then go west over another bridge and keep
on going west until you reach a cavern.
--Bilibin Cave Entrance--
At the entrance of the screen you can see a small plant growing against
the wall. You can make this plant grow a lot bigger by using the "Growth"
Psynergy on it, however your character can only learn this Psynergy only on
certain classes. The easiest way to learn Growth is to give Garet at least
one Venus Djinni or Isaac at least one Mars Djinni. This way you can enter
the Cavern from a higher level.
--Bilibin Cave--
Chests: 4 (53)
Elven Rapier, Vial, Psy Crystal*, Water of Life*
* = only reachable after Mogall Woods (see Chapter 8)
Monsters:
Ghoul, Gnome, Ooze, Troll
If you entered the cavern from the higher level by using "Growth" on the
small plant outside, you can easily grab the Elven Rapier from the chest.
Also there is an interesting formation of rocks near this chest. However
you need "Reveal" Psynergy to find a hidden entrance which means that Isaac
needs to backtrack sometime in the future. For now fall down and walk left.
Here you are back at the start again, keep on heading to the left route
until you reach an intersection go right here and you will reach a
different room with some icy pillars. Near the end you can move the right
torch down and right to melt the final Ice Pillar creating a puddle of
water. Jump over this puddle and continue on. At the end there is a chest
containing a Vial. Head toward the exit and walk around the icy fields,
until you reach the frozen village of Imil.
--Imil--
Inn:
24 coins
Hidden Items: 4 (57)
Lucky Pepper - Look in the oven inside the Inn
9 Coins - In the jar outside home upper level of town
Lucky Medal - Upper left grave near the Sanctum
Sleep Bomb - In a barrel on left side within the blacksmith shop
Chests: 2 (59)
Vial - Above the first home (See comments below)
Empty bottle - First house from the southern entrance
Djinni:
Mars - Fever
Talking to the people in this village gets you information about a woman
named Mia who is the healer of this village. Since many people have gotten
ill after a group of travelers can from the south, Mia is very busy now.
You can find a Mars Djinni by moving the snowman in the northern part of
town to the left and then enter the slippery ice part from the Sanctum on
the left. Slide in the following directions from here on to find the cavern
with the Djinni: RULULURULURU. You can see that the snowman will help you
reach the cavern in the very last part of the sliding process.
--Imil Falls Cave--
Inside the cavern Mars Djinni Fever joins you without a fight. You should
have two Djinn of all but the water type.
--Imil--
Also you can reach a chest by following this route from the same starting
point: RULULURULDLUR for another Vial.
On with our quest. After talking to most of the villagers and the two
children in the sanctuary Mia will show up in the first home where you
found the Empty Bottle. After seeing her heal the old man she mumbles
something about Alex and leaves for the Lighthouse. Now you can leave for
the Mercury Lighthouse.
--Mercury Lighthouse--
Chests: 4 (63)
Nut, Psy Crystal, Psynergy Armor, Smoke bomb
Djinni:
Mercury - Fizz, Mercury - Sleet
Monsters:
Mimic, Cuttle, Harpy, Lizard Man, Mauler, Siren
Boss:
Saturos
At the entrance you will meet Mia again (only after meeting her in Imil),
but she can't continue on because there is a statue in her path. Use "Move"
Psynergy to get rid of the first obstacle, also Mia seems to be able to see
your Psynergy which means that she is an Adept too! Then Mia opens the
barrier by using "Ply" and enters it, you'd better do the same thing so
it's time to enter the first Lighthouse.
Inside attack the Lizard Man so Mia can continue on in the Lighthouse. She
thanks you and leaves again, continue on you can take either left or right
passageway since they end up at the same path in the next room. Keep
heading up and take the stairs, here you'll find Mia again and another
obstacle that blocks her path. If you "Mind Read" her here you'll find out
that she's hesitating to believe that Alex has started to turn bad... Just
use "Move" on the blue statue over the pit to open the path for Mia once
again after some more talking she decides to come along with your party. As
a bonus she already has a Mercury Djinni: Fizz as a pet!
Continue on until you reach another puzzle room. Push the first pipe in
its place and continue (there is only one path) and push the pipe from the
other side into it original position. You can of course backtrack a bit to
get the chest with the Psy Crystal, in any case proceed on to the next
room. Jump over the gap, don't go down the ladder, but walk around the
entire room. Push the pillar in its position which should only take half a
minute. Fall down the slide and go through the doorway that is recently
opened. Slide down again and you will stand right in front of the goddess.
Jump over the gap onto the hands of the big statue, set "Ply" to either L
or R button and use it on the Statue. This should activate the cross tiles,
these tiles allow you to stand on water for a few steps. Jump back on the
tile just below to find out that you can jump on the water four times. Go
up one room and jump over to the very right side towards the exit.
Here you find yourself in a room with three waterfalls. Open the chest on
the very right to find out that it is the very fist Mimic in the game!
Mimics are imitations of Treasure Chests that look exactly identical, the
moment you open them the creature attacks you. The nice thing is that when
you beat it the treasure from the chest is ALWAYS automatically dropped in
battle.

Special: Debilitate, Psy Drain, Sleep, Wind Slash
Exp: 164
Coins: 178
Item: Water of Life
Walk into the right most Waterfall jump over the water to find a chest
containing a Psynergy Armor on the other side. Go back, walk up to the big
central room with several jump tiles in the water and step up the first
jump tile in the middle. Work your way around the room counter clockwise,
you should be able to get to the upper right corner using the tiles without
too much effort, just stay close to the right wall.
After this event you can also collect the Smoke bomb by going right
instead of down at this point, if you collect this bomb however you have to
work your way around the room a second time. Head down two rooms and you'll
find yet another room with three waterfalls. Enter the middle one, head up
two rooms, push the pipes into their corresponding places (starting at the
back) and the previous room will fill up with water. Jump over the water
and ascend the stairs 3 times and here is yet another pipeline puzzle room
to be found.
Walk down the path in the very back of the room, push the pipe to the left
(this will move the statue one space to the left). Let Isaac walk back,
push the pipe to the right, (moves statue down) then to the left a second
time. Before going back to the left again push the horizontal pipe down,
then head back and push the vertical pipe for the last time to the right.
This will cause the statue to fall down one floor allowing you to place on
top of the switch. After passing that doorway push the third statue from
the left aside to collect a Nut from the chest in the backroom, go back to
the previous room and move the lone statue on the right side. Go up one
room and push another pipe into position allowing you to continue on.
Here there is a room with many waterfalls located next to each other.
Enter the fourth of the right to find a Mercury Djinni inside this one
however does require you to do battle.

Continue on to the left and follow the passageway and at the end of it
enter the last waterfall. Move the statue with Psynergy and continue on
until you reach a room with a single blue statue and a rainbow over the
waterfall. Use Ply on this statue and the waterfall will magically reverse
into streaming upwards.
--Mercury Lighthouse Aerie--
Cure all your wounded people, Set/Reset all Djinn if you like and collect
the Psynergy Stone to completely fill all of your Psynergy power. Jump over
to the center of the Aerie and your party will notice that the lighthouse
as already been lit up. After some talking the group of Saturos shows up,
Saturos tells Menardi to leave for the Venus Lighthouse as he will deal
with Isaac and the others.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Saturos

HP: 1200 ATK:: 113 AGL: 51 Weak: Water
PP: 160 DEF: 35 LCK: 40 Strong: Fire
Special: Eruption, Fireball, Heat Flash (Delude)
Exp: 331
Coins: 800
Item: Psy Crystal
Saturos is naturally the strongest adversary you face up to this moment
(unless you count the Mystery Man as well). If we take a look at his
special attacks then Eruption and Fireball can cause quite some damage,
whereas Heat Flash (simply a Delude Psynergy) isn't that bad. I recon you
use the Mercury Djinni Sleet in the first round, because Saturos is weak to
water and Sleet can also lower Saturos' Attack power. You may wish to
unleash the other Djinn as well. Don't waste Garet's PP on Fire Psynergies
since Saturos has a very high resistance to it. The best strategy is to
attack with Mia's Djinn or unleash the level 2 Mercury Summon: Nereid on
him. Isaac can do some healing if it is really necessary, but I don't think
that this battle should prove to be too difficult as well. Saturos may have
a lot of HP, but he doesn't have real killer attacks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Saturos' defeat Alex shows up to explain why Saturos was defeated so
easily, as a Fire Adept the Mercury's watery environment drained him of his
powers. Also Alex just tried to stall some time to heal Saturos and after
some more talking before they leave you behind. Mia also decides to join
you in your quest to beat Saturos and Menardi to the Venus Lighthouse,
before you leave you better fill up your bottle with the sacred Hermes
water that flows once again from the fountain (the shop in Imil are now
opened too and you can buy a Blessed Ankh Artifact there).
--Bilibin Barricade (Optional)--
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
WARNING: THIS IS A ONE-TIME EVENT ONLY!!! It cannot be completed
after you heal Tret so you MUST do it now!
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
You can perform a small side-quest at the Bilibin Barricade. You will see
the three trees again, only now one of them has fallen into the river. Walk
into the shallow water just below the other fallen tree. Use "Move"
Psynergy on the tree in the water stream. Once you've cured Tret you can
receive a Hard Nut from the woman that was the tree back then (Don't get
any silly ideas about this, pervert).
--Kolima Forest--
Go back to (if you visited the Mercury Lighthouse before going to Kolima)
Tret and cure him with the Hermes' Water. After this happens Tret is
finally restored to his old friendly self and will free all the people that
have been turned into trees by the curse. Tret then tells you that he was
struck by falling rocks the other day and that caused him to get very
upset, whereas Laurel who was hit as well became very sad. It turns out to
be that the Psynergy Rocks emitted by Sol Sanctum were the cause of all the
problems. After some more talking Laurel tells you that the animals of
Kolima Forest have turned into monsters; this would explain why you had to
fight monsters in nearly every place. After doing this you can continue to
the bridge to the south-east of Kolima as well and Isaac can collect a
reward from McCoy as well.
--Bilibin - McCoy's Home (optional)--
Chests: 1 (64)
* = Technically speaking 4, but you can only collect 1 of them
(See below).
After talking to that weird man again he is so 'generous' you can pick one
treasure from the four chests in the basement. So the guard shows you the
way and Isaac follows him into the basement. Here are 4 reachable chests
that are arranged like this:
_ _ _ _
|1||2||3||4|
¯ ¯ ¯ ¯
1 = Vial
2 = Potion
3 = Psy Crystal
4 = Water of Life
None of them are really spectacular, but the fourth chest is probably the
most valuable in terms of money. Oh well, at least Isaac gets a reward at
all.
--Kolima Bridge--
After breaking the Tree Curse the guy at the opposite side of the river
will lower the drawbridge for you. From here on you can go strait to the
cursed woods (see chapter 5) or complete an optional side-quest that is not
necessarily required in the Fuchin Temple (see chapter 4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Fuchin's hidden power; the Art of "Ki" (Optional)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Fuchin Temple--
Hidden Items: 1 (65)
Unicorn Ring - Check jar next to Nyunpa's home
The environment of the temple looks very foreign; more or less very
eastern. Talk to the people at the foot of the temple and you will find out
that Mogall Forest sprouted from the soil in just 1 night, this is of
course very unnatural so indeed the power of the fallen Psynergy Rocks are
the blame of this. Enter the cabin at the top of the waterfall and talk to
Master Nyunpa using "Mind Read" Psynergy to get permission to enter the
trial at the base of the waterfall. Note that you can't enter the menu with
the 'A' button, because you will talk to Nyunpa when you are so close to
hom. In order to overcome this problem use 'Select' or assign a shortcut
key to "Mind Read".
--Fuchin Falls Cave--
Hidden Items: 1 (66)
Dragon Eye
Chests: 2 (68)
Arctic Blade, Orb of Force
Djinni:
Jupiter - Zephyr
Monsters:
Mimic, Bone Fighter, Dirge, Mole, Spirit
At the beginning you can read a tile that gives a hint about the solution
of the cavern. Use the right wooden pole to ride across the water to the
other side. Here awaits a chest for you. However this is not a regular
chest but a Mimic so start another battle.

Mimic

HP: 506 ATK: 133 AGL: 57 Weak: Fire

Item: Game ticket
Go back and use the left log to reach the next room, jump over the water
and you'll reach the upper right corner. From here on you can go two ways
for now take the left path since right leads to a dead end at this moment.
Also the doorway up ahead leads to another dead end, hence go left even
further, up the stairs and follow the route through the dark room. Actually
the invisible path on the right can be traversed so try that if you like,
that would make completing this quest a lot faster/easier. Descend another
stairway to find yourself in another room with a log in the water, use it
and follow the path on the left to get over the water with another log. You
are back in the first room although you entered it from the left, use the
log to go over to the other side.
In the next room you'll see a Jupiter Djinni on the right side of the
room, to get there walk down using the log, then place the vertical log
against the left wall and use the horizontal to go back to the previous
location. Now you can use the single pole in the water and the vertical log
to get the Jupiter Djinni.

Item: -
After Zephyr joins your party, go down, use the log and get up the next
doorway. In the next room go to 2 horizontal logs and move one upwards,
take the upper vertical log and go to the left, use the other horizontal
one to reach the doorway in the middle of the staircase. In the room below
you can find a Dragon's Eye lying openly on the little table. Go back and
take the stairway on to the north. Follow the path and place the eye in the
appropriate place of the dragon statue. This will make the shadow of an
invisible path on the ground visible. All you have to do backtrack all the
way to the left entrance of this room. Walk over this invisible path (don't
worry; you can't fall off) and read the tablet that speaks of the power of
"Ki" that is placed in the chest. Open it and you can obtain this Orb of
Force, equip it right away to any character that has room in his/her
inventory. Note that this is the only Psynergy in the game that is not
aligned to any elemental; it's Neutral!
--Fuchin Temple--
After returning from the dungeon, you get a message that master Nyunpa is
awaiting you. He tells you that you can use "Force" Psynergy on the tree
stumps to find your path through the Mogall Forest. You also get some
various other words of wisdom too for free.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Monkey Business in Mogall Forest
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Mogall Forest--
Hidden Items: 1 (69)
Nut
Chests: 2 (71)
Apple, Elven Shirt
Djinni:
Venus - Quartz
Monsters:
Ape, Bone Fighter, Dirge, Death Head, Mole, Spirit
Boss:
Killer Ape
With or without the Orb of Force you can continue on, although with the
orb you can more easily find the correct path yourself. From the entry go
down two screens and if you use "Force" on the tree stump on the left an
Ape will appear and attack you. Further on you can push the vertical log to
the right, the horizontal down, the vertical left and finally the
horizontal one upwards. Use "Catch" Psynergy to get the nut from the tree
if you like. Move up and use Force again on the tree stump to see a monkey
showing you the route or just go right 2 times.
Here are 2 tree stumps, use "Force" (or not) on them and from one of them
a Monkey will show up running in to a path leading south, the other goes
east. The eastern path leads to a chest with an Apple inside. The southern
path leads to another log pushing field. Use "Move" on the small rock to
push it backwards, then push the log down so you can move on. Next move the
horizontal log down, the vertical log left, horizontal log up and finally
the vertical log to the left so it falls into the water. Venus Djinni
Quartz can be found at the bottom of the screen here too; he will put up a
fight before joining you.

Coins: 201
Item: -
You can use "Force" on the tree stump in the middle and then on the left
stump to find out the route, or I could just tell you that it's left. Next
there are three tree stumps to be found, the right one contains an Ape that
will attack you. The middle one has an Ape that goes down and the right one
awakens an Ape that flees to the left. Also if you go north here you can
find a Psynergy Stone.
First we take the left route which gives us a chest with an Elven Shirt
after completing a really simple puzzle. Just move the rock a few times
until there is enough room to push the log to the right. Equip it to either
Garet or Mia, because they are normally so slow and will get a huge boost
from it. Go back and head one screen down, here you have to do nearly the
exact same thing and use force on the tree stump if you like so a monkey
will jump over to the lower stump. Walk around the other logs on the left
and push them so that the last tree stump will fall down into the river
(there is only one way to move them so it should be easy). Use "Force"
again to see a monkey leaving via the south entrance. So go down and you
will find a lone stump in the middle of the field, you can already hear
some sounds coming from it. This noise doesn't sound too good, but you have
to continue on. Time for a boss battle:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Killer Ape
----------------
HP: 1000 ATK: 156 AGL: 94 Weak: Fire
PP: 35 DEF: 97 LCK: 26 Strong: Wind
Special: Bind, Debilitate, Ransack, War Cry, Douse
Exp: 460
Coins: 1500
Item: Douse Drop
This boss is statistically nearly Saturos' equal so if you were able to
beat him, the Killer Ape should be easier since you have better equipment
now. Just use the Djinn followed by a summoning of the most powerful
Summons you have and the Ape is gone, before he even has the chance to hurt
you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After beating the Killer Ape you get a Douse Drop. This seems odd to me
since Mia can already use "Douse" Psynergy. Head down towards the exit for
Xian on the World Map.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Altin's Extraordinary Flood
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Xian (Optional)--
Inn:
40 coins
Hidden Items: 4 (75)
Elixir - Barrel inside small home in the middle of Xian
Lucky Medal - Jar outside upper left corner Mulberry Orchard
Sleep bomb - Jar in the left house that is grown into the wall
Antidote - Barrel in Master Feh's School
Djinni:
Mercury - Mist
The people of this village are very good at Kung Fu and creating Silk
garbs. If you disturb the water carrying woman she will drop the water and
creates a small puddle of water, when you make her drop the water one space
next to the right wall you can use "Frost" Psynergy to get to the Mercury
Djinni that is located there. This Djinni named Mist and he joins without a
fight.
At the most upper part of Xian you can find the Kung Fu School of master
Feh. If you don't have the Orb of Force you can leave for Altin right away.
On the other hand if you do have you can trigger a small cut-scene inside,
use "Force" Psynergy while standing on the white line to make the big tree
trunk fall down. After you do this the door at the bottom will unlock, open
and a girl named Feizhi comes outside together with Master Feh. Feizhi will
leave for Hsu, since she sensed that he is in danger.
Feh will then give a small explanation between the difference of "Ki" and
"Chi". Also at the entrance of town Feizhi will await you if you used Force
on the wooden pole inside the training school.
--Xian World Map--
Djinn:
Mars - Corona
To the far north of Xian (You can see Kolima village at the top of the
screen here) there is a lone island and on this field you may encounter the
wild Mars Djinni: Corona.

--Alpine Crossing--
Chests: 1 (76)
Power Bread
Just located to the west of Xian you will come across the Alpine crossing
before entering Altin. If you met Feizhi before she will appear here too,
but there's not much to do here. The only thing you can do is create an Ice
Pillar from the water puddle and using "Growth" Psynergy on the little
plant to make it grow bigger (give Isaac a Mars Djinni so he learns
"Growth"). Go up and walk to the lower right corner where you can find a
chest with a Power Bread. Isaac and companions can head for the north exit
towards Altin.
--Altin--
Inn:
48 Coins
Hidden Items: 2 (78)
Nut - Barrel in home accessible after receding water once
9 Coins - Barrel in weapon shop after draining water completely
Upon entering the town you can easily see that it is entirely flooded. The
first villager explains to you that water spewing creatures have caused the
town to get flooded, of course it is up to you to solve this problem.
Talking to other people learns you that Altin is usually dried out so much
that there is hardly any water which makes it even more odd for a flood.
Later on you'll discover that the Psynergy Crystals have caused the
Guardian Statues of the inner shrine in Altin to become alive. Use Move on
the first statue here and you can enter a cavern.
--Altin Peak--
Hidden Items: 1 (79)
Frost Jewel - Receive it from the first Living Statue
Chests: 6 (85)
Cookie, Dragon Shield, Lifting Gem, Lucky Medal, Psy Crystal, Vial
Djinni:
Mercury - Spritz
Monsters:
Mimic, Bone Fighter, Calamar, Dirge, Rat Fighter, Slime beast, Tarantula
Boss:
Hydros Statue
A Psy Crystal is located in inside a red chest around here. That's all
you can do here so go back outside.
--Altin--
Descend the ladder and walk on further to the south; at the bottom of the
screen you can see a blue creature spitting water. As you approach it, it
moves 'slowly' into the mines.
--Altin Peak--
Inside the cavern you can watch as the creature jumps over the pit. Chase
and watch it fleeing again, chase once more and you'll have to do battle
against it. Of course I don't have to tell you that this creature is weak
to Fire and strong against Water. Just use you Djinni and summons to take
it down quite fast (it has about 500 HP). I don't know why, but you get a
Frost Jewel for your efforts. Again this is strange, because you can use
"Frost" already with Mia.
--Altin--
As you come outside again, it is clear that the water level has dropped a
bit. You can follow the mine-cart tracks into the second level of the
cavern.
--Altin Peak--
Follow the tracks as far as possible since the other paths all lead to
dead ends, when you reach the end follow the left path. Near the mine cart
hit the switch so the arrow points east, enter the cart itself and you'll
run into the next living statue. Fight it and the water level drops again,
backtrack to the beginning of the cave, but don't go outside. (You cannot
yet reach the chest that lies behind the door on the right here). Enter the
passageway in the upper left corner, climb down the ladder and continue on.
In the next room follow the lower left path and flip the switch so it
points left, head back and go right. Enter the cart, enjoy the ride, get
out and follow the upper left path.

Coins: 267
Item: Game Ticket
Go a few steps back and follow the lower route. In the next room use Frost
on the water puddle before climbing the ladder then proceed to the next
chamber. Use Frost on the pillar in the center of the lower level of the
room, climb the ladder to the left of it, enter the mine-cart and collect
the Dragon Shield from the chest at the end of the ride. Go back and climb
the other ladder, change the switch and do another mine-cart ride. Now you
can completely backtrack towards the entrance.
--Altin--
All the water in the town has been drained at last. This allows you to buy
new Armors and Weapons (although I have to say that most of these items are
rubbish). Enter the mines from the lowest level for the last part of this
semi-dungeon.
--Altin Peak--
Follow the path to the right until the tracks come to an end, then go
south and open a chest on the left side of the screen containing a Lucky
Medal. Keep on running through the corridor on the right until you reach a
big room with a Mercury Djinni near the entrance, go right here, move the
pillar and freeze the puddle to create a new path. Climb the ladder due
north and freeze the puddle there too, hit the switch, go to the mine-cart
and enter it twice. Now you will be very close to the Mercury Djinni which
will fight you before aligning with you.
--------------
Mercury Djinni
--------------
HP: 361 ATK: 140 AGL: 84 Weak: Fire

Special: Drench, Froth Sphere, Hail Prism, Ice Horn, Tundra, Escape
Exp: 190
Coins: 226
Item: -
With Spritz on your side you should be able to use Wish (Mia has 4 Mercury
Djinn now, which makes her a Cleric) which restores HP for all party-
members! Use the Mine-cart to get back, go to the left past the frozen
pillar, freeze the other puddle as well, climb the ladder and follow the
path using the newly created pillars to exit this room. From here on follow
the path and navigate past all the small rocks until you reach a sign at
the top. Use Force on it to strike the pillar, but if you don't have the
orb of Force, Garet will come out and kick the pillar by himself.
After doing so a huge boulder appears luckily Isaac will run automatically
following the correct path into safety. Climb down the gap that is created
just a few seconds ago, down here no random enemies appear so you can
freely regenerate you PP if you want. At the end of the corridor there is a
bigger Living statue; the so called Hydros Statue. You may want to equip
your fur coat here, since that protects against water attacks!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Hydros Statue
-------------------
HP: 1300 ATK: 156 AGL: 62 Weak: Fire
PP: 80 DEF: 53 LCK: 30 Strong: Water
Special: Drench, Froth Sphere, Ice Horn, Restore, Tundra, Water Blessing
Exp: 496
Coins: 2400
Item: Lucky Medal
The Hydros Statue is basically a bigger and stronger version of the Living
Statues you encountered before. It is resistant to water so Mia does best
to keep as much Djinn as possible on Stand-by. This way she can use Wish
which cures the entire party. Of course you may want to use Sleet or Mist,
but return them to Stand-by again.
So your main attacks are with Isaac and Garet. A level 3 Mars Summon;
Tiamat should dispatch the Hydros Statue quickly, also Cybele can do a nice
amount of damage on this boss. In order to use Cybele after 2 rounds set
Quartz to Set before the battle (you probably don't need to revive anyway).
All of the Hydros' attacks are Water based which means that equipping the
Fur Coat is actually a good idea even though it is a bit weaker.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After beating the Hydros Statue it turns into a real statue again and
disintegrates right in front of you. Open the chest behind it, collect the
Lifting Gem and equip the gem in order to lift those brown sphere-shaped
rocks you've come across earlier. Head towards the entrance (follow the
southern path) and you will find one of these boulders that can be lifted;
so use "Lift" Psynergy. Enter the crevice and take the far left branch,
move the statue and open the chest for a Vial. Head back and take the
central path use lift again and you will finally reach the exit of the
cavern.
Note: You can backtrack here as well and go to the room where you fought
the second Living Statue, climb down the stairs on the right side of the
chamber and you can find another chest by using Lift on the boulder. Inside
the chest is a very rare PP increasing Cookie.

7. Revealing the Mirages of the Lamakan Desert
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Lama Temple--
Hidden Items: 2 (87)
6 Coins - Check jar inside Hama's Home
Water of Life - Chest; Use "Reveal" on the lone rock
There isn't much to do around here so head up to the only building around.
Inside you will find Master Hama meditating. She is a Jupiter Adept just
like Ivan and will teach Ivan Revealer Psynergy, Hama also seems to know
more about the fate that has befallen Felix. Feizhi comes charging in and
tells Hama that is was able to foresee the event of Hsu getting trapped by
a boulder. This seemed odd to Hama first, even though she taught Feizhi to
learn Psynergy, she'd never thought it would actually succeed so well
because Feizhi isn't an Adept. Then Feizhi explains that she was hit on the
head by a falling rock a few days again (the same day as Sol Sanctum's
Eruption). This explains everything and after some more talking Hama and
Feizhi will leave the scene to rescue Hsu.
Note that with "Reveal" you can also see hidden items in jars and boxes
which makes it a lot easier to locate them. You can use it right away on
the rock to the east of Hama's place. This hidden chest contains some Water
of Life.
--Alpine Crossing (Optional)--
This part is purely optional, but it will give you some help in Golden
Sun: the Lost Age if you use a linked game. After learning "Reveal" go to
the Alpine Crossing directly from the Lama Temple, use Reveal to open a
hidden path that leads to Hsu. Use Lift to remove the boulder and Hama and
Feizhi will save him from under the boulder. Later on back at the Lama
temple Ivan feels rather uncomfortable, because Hama hasn't looked him in
the eyes ever since the last conversation. The reason for this will be
explained much later on, though.
--Lamakan Desert--
Chests: 5 (92)
777 coins, Lucky Pepper, Mint, Potion, Vulcan Axe
Djinni:
Jupiter - Smog
Monsters:
Ant Lion, Fighter Bee, Grub, Orc, Rat Fighter, Salamander
Boss:
Manticore
To the south of the Lama Temple you will find the Lamakan Desert. This
desert is quite huge and can be hard to navigate through, as soon as you
step on the sand the gauge on the left will fill up and if you don't find
any water (use "Reveal" on the rock circles) to cool down you will take
quite some damage (approximately 50% of current HP).
Here are some directions: Go left from the start the first rock circle has
a water pool in it. Also take note that in some rock circles there is an
Ant Lion hiding. Continue on and take the left branch if you wish to find a
Vulcan Axe (Good Fire Elemental Weapon), the right route has an Ant Lion in
the first circle and a pool in the second.
The next screen is quite huge, the first formation to the north has a pool
in it as you can see in the picture below. I tried to make an ASCII picture
that is as accurately as possible. There may be little mistakes in it, but
it should provide a good guideline to find all the good things.

Legend
------------------------------------------------------
P = Rock Circle with a hidden Pool
A = Rock Circle with a hidden Ant Lion
D = Rock Circle with a hidden Jupiter Djinni Smog
1 = Rock Circle with a hidden Chest with Potion
2 = Rock Circle with a hidden Chest with 777 coins
3 = Rock Circle with a hidden Chest with Lucky Pepper
' = Cactus
¥ = Skeleton
S = Sand fall
. = Safe Area
^ = Entrance
<- = Exit
The next field has several sandy rivers, walk over the first one (use
diagonal up-left to get past it without falling down. Climb the stairs go
over the next sandy river by touching the upper wall and then running over
to the left. Continue on to the left and you will find a sandy river, use
reveal on it to enter a secret cavern. Walk through it and continue on to
the left.
The sand fall in the upper left corner here conceals the room of the boss.
You can go there right away, but you can also fall down and walk to the far
left where there are three rock circles. The lower one is a pool, the
middle an Ant Lion and the upper one has a chest with Mint. Now you can go
back to the upper left corner, use reveal on the sandy river to make a
Manticore visible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Manticore
---------------
HP: 1700 ATK: 168 AGL: 62 Weak: Water
PP: 83 DEF: 53 LCK: 36 Strong: Fire
Special: 'attack 2x', Curse, Delude, Impair, Mad Blast, Nova, Poison Tail
Exp: 590
Coins: 3400
Item: Psy Crystal
The Manticore boss has a huge arsenal of attacks and is also the first
monster that can do 2 attacks in each round. He can cause a lot of ailment
statuses like: Venom (Deadly Poison), Delude and Curse. As you can see he
is weak to water so it is time for the ultimate Mercury Summon: Boreas.
In my strategy I would set all Mercury Djinn so Boreas can come right
away, after a few rounds Mia's Djinn should all recover so she can do some
healing or attack with the Djinn over again. Since Mia will be attacking in
this battle Isaac has to do some healing if necessary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After beating the Manticore simply follow the path behind him to find
yourself in a cavern corridor with an exit that leads to the World Map.
--Lamakan Desert West Exit (World Map)--
Djinn:
Venus - Vine
To the north west of the Lamakan Desert Exit there is a small island which
contains Venus Djinni 'Vine'. The location may be a bit hard to find
sometimes, but he is definitely around here somewhere.
------------
Venus Djinni
------------
HP: 421 ATK: 175 AGL: 91 Weak: Wind
PP: 30 DEF: 45 LCK: 10 Strong: Earth
Special: Briar, Clay Spire, Gaia, Mad Growth, Quake Sphere, Escape
Exp: 230
Coins: 277
Item: -
The attacks of this Djinni are stronger than those of the previous Djinn,
but with only 421 HP an escape is the only thing you need to worry about.
After this Vine joins your party and with 4 Venus Djinn you should be able
to summon the power that be: Judgment!
From here we can do some backtracking since Isaac and the other have
learned some new Psynergies and the bridge to the north is repaired (the
one that was broken at the time Master Hammet tried to go to Kalay), but
first perhaps take a visit in Kalay to get some new weapons and armors.
--Kalay--
Inn:
60 Coins
Hidden Items: 6 (98)
Nut - Barrel in right room of Hammet's home
Sleep Bomb - Jar behind the armor store
Nut - Use "Catch" on a Nut hanging in the tree near east exit
Elixir - Barrel in the basement of the Inn
Smoke bomb - Oven in most eastern house
11 Coins - Barrel in the home in the lower right corner
Vial - Check the northernmost jar in the graveyard
Chests: 1 (99)
Water Jacket - Left room of Hammet's home
If you exit the town via the north exit you will trigger a cut-scene where
Isaac and the other meet up with Lady Layana; Master Hammet's wife. She
tells some things about Ivan's origin and the use of the Shaman's Rod.
After all of this she asks of you not to save Hammet, but to continue on
with your own quest. At this moment it is not possible to save Hammet, but
we will do that in later on in the game.
In Kalay itself there isn't much to do right now. The only thing I can
think of is that you can climb up the upper right building and move the
statue to find the entrance to the Kalay Tunnel.
--Kalay Tunnel--
Hidden Items: 1 (100)
Nut
Chests: 6 (106)
200 Coins, Apple, Lucky Medal, Potion, Sleep Bomb, Spirit Gloves
Djinn:
Mars - Scorch
Inside this place move the statue to the left and climb down the drained
water pool, climb up the on the other side and touch the Mars Djinni and
Scorch joins for free. Here is the moment where you should have 16 Djinn; 4
of each kind. This means that all Summons are ready to be called at your
disposal! Later on we can come back here to collect the chests and hidden
item, but for now continue on with the story or do some backtracking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Some Backtracking (Optional)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's all Isaac can do here for the time being. Below follows a short
description of the things you can do if you back track your steps to the
north. Some of the following backtracking parts are not really that
helpful, but if you wish to explore every corner of this game you may wish
to complete the following parts.
These can be taken individually (and in any order) you like, but I would
like to recommend that you do at least the first two since they both give
you a Djinni as reward. Isaac can also find an extra Psynergy in Vale Cave
as well.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8.A Vale Cave & Garet's Family
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--Vale (Optional)--
In Vale you can go back to Isaac's Mother or Garet's folks if you like,
there is nothing you will get in return of doing so, but some people find
it nice that the game has these kind of details. You get to hear quite a
long dialog. If you don't feel like it, then don't go inside the home of
Garet's parents. Garet will introduce Mia & Ivan and some other non
important business will be handled.
Next to Kraden's Cabin (where that Guy was 'dying' at the beginning of the
game) is a boulder that be lifted using "Lift", behind it is a dungeon that
has a Djinni as reward.
--Vale Cave--
Chests: 2 (108)
Halt Gem, Nut
Djinni:
Jupiter - Kite
Monsters:
Fighter Bee, Ghost Mage, Mad Vermin, Ravager
At the entrance go left, use revealer to make a hidden pole visible,
continue on to the left, walk up and move the right crate into the water.
Walk over the crate and head down, go through entrance and obtain the Nut
from the chest. Go back to the previous room and move the left crate two
the right 2 times. The crate will fall in the water and you can jump on
over to the log behind it. Walk to the other side of the water pool, jump
off and enter the passage behind it.
Walk around and go down to the next room, roll both logs into the water,
fall down and move the horizontal log upwards. Use it to reach the other
side and continue on. Open the chest to collect the Halt Gem and equip it
on someone, walk down and the Jupiter Djinni will get scared. Follow him
and use "Halt" Psynergy on him to catch him, without doing combat Kite adds
his power to yours. That's all there is to do in Vale.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8.B Vault Cave
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--Vault (Optional)--
You can get a Venus Djinni here that you may have seen here before. First
ring the bell at the watch tower to wake up the sleepy head. Then use
Reveal on the 6 gravestones to open up a passageway down below.
Talking to the mayor also has influence later on it Golden Sun: The Lost
Age, so I recommend you do that. He will tell you that the prisoners have
escaped into the world. (You will meet them again if you link the game to
GS:TLA)
Also you can get a worthless bone from a woman in the inn (You'd better
not get any ideas about that too!). You can use this for the dog close to
the gravestones so he gives you a hint where to search for the entrance...
nuff said. Use "Reveal" near the six gravestones and you'll automatically
find the entrance.
--Vault Cave--
Chests: 1 (109)
Vambrace
Monsters:
Mimic, Cave Troll, Death Cap, Fighter Bee, Gargoyle, Ghost Mage, Ravager
You can go down one screen and the either left or right. Before we
continue I would like to remind you about ringing the bell again, or else
we have to go through this cavern twice. For the Djinni won't appear at the
end, if you didn't ring the bell on the north side of Vault. The right
branch contains a fake chest in the shape of a Mimic.
-----
Mimic
-----
HP: 690 ATK: 156 AGL: 89 Weak: Fire
PP: 42 DEF: 56 LCK: 13 Strong: Wind
Special: Debilitate, Psy Drain, Sleep, Sonic Slash
Exp: 321
Coins: 356
Item: Vial
The left path leads up to two torches and one peculiar tile with a fire
crest on it. Place the left torch on it to open the gate which comes
together with a small fanfare for some reason. Head up and use Whirlwind on
the bush to open a doorway to a lone chest that has a Vambrace inside.
Freeze all but the most right puddle to create a path to the next room.
Descend and ascend the stairs, go one room up and activate the switch. This
drains the water from the room and transports it to the basement level
below preventing you from going back the way you came, so you need to clear
it from the other way around.
Go back downstairs, head down, go down again, walk up to the next puzzle
and move the lower torch as following. Push it up 1 space, 3 spaces to the
right (push just after the drop lands on the tile to your right, 2 up, then
push it to the far left avoiding the water drop near the middle. Move the
other pillar out of the way. Once it is somewhere else, push the pillar
with the flame 1 down, 2 left, 2 up and 3 to the right (avoiding the water
drops again). Finally push it upwards onto the tile with the flame crest.
If for some reason the flame is extinguished go back to the previous room
and enter again. Somehow the flame is relit again.
After you placed the Flame pillar on it spot it opens the gate with a nice
little tune (again), continue on and ascend the stairs, do it again on the
left side of the next room, head down, go down the ladder and go through
the door you just opened with the switch. Jump over the gap, climb the
stairs go right, ascend the stairs and run towards the exit. Outside Venus
Djinni Sap joins you without a hassle. I don't know but it seems that Venus
Djinn seems tend to be less aggressive.

8.C The hoard in Lunpa
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--West Lunpa Cave (Optional)--
You can enter Lunpa if you like, although there's nothing to do right now;
You can't save Hammet yet, the salespeople won't sell you any armor or
weapons, but you can collect some of the hidden items in town itself. So if
you like enter Lunpa via the West Lunpa Cave (north-east of Vale). Use
Frost on the water puddle beneath the half closed gate, this opens it up
and you can enter Lunpa.
--Lunpa (Optional)--
Inn:
Not open yet
Hidden Items: 5 (114)
Nut Use "Catch" on the tree in front of the south entrance
Sleep ball Check upper left gravestone
Vial Barrel weapon/Armor shop's attic
Nut Barrel outside most eastern home
Lucky Medal Wooden box inside most eastern home
Chests: 6 (120)
44 coins, Antidote, Elixir, Lucky Medal, Smoke bomb, Water of Life
As you can see most of Lunpa is sealed off, you can however open up a
secret cavern. Use Reveal on the rock near the upper exit. Freeze it with
Frost, climb the ladder on the left and walk around town until you reach a
dead end. Use reveal and touch the sprinkle on the wall, this will open up
a secret cave. There are six chests inside, just as listed above.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
8.D Minor Treasure in Bilibin Cave
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--Bilibin Cave--
First enter the cave as usual and use "Douse" on the little fire in the
second room, then go to the spot where you found the Elven Rapier and use
"Reveal" on the northern wall, this shows that there is a path behind it.
Use Douse on the little fire to remove it, continue on to find two chests
(mentioned earlier) containing a Psy Crystal and some Water of Life. It's
hardly worth the effort, but who cares...
--'Insert Isaac's Current Place here'--
Time to go back to Kalay, where we strayed away from our main story!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. An entertaining Journey from Kalay to Tolbi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Kalay--
I don't know if you did all the backtracking, but I will continue where I
left off before starting Chapter 8. After talking to Lady Layana (or not),
talk to the people in the Inn and try to exit Kalay via the west exit.
Another 'small' cut scene will appear where a group of tourists leave of
for the carnival and the Colosso event in Tolbi. You'd better follow them
to the west, because Tolbi will be our next stop as well!
--Kalay Docks--
Hidden Items: 1 (121)
Boat Ticket - Buy it from the vendor inside the only building
Djinn:
Venus - Ground (We can reach this one only after the boat trip)
After viewing the scene where Garet thought he saw the ocean in the
Karagol Sea (Which is technically not an ocean) go inside the only building
around and buy some tickets for the boat ride. At the top of the screen you
can see a lone Djinni sitting at edge of the dock. You can't reach from
this side, so go back when you have reached the other side of the Karagol
Sea. Talk to the man on the left and give him your tickets in order to
enter the boat.
--Tolbi-bound Ship--
Hidden Items: 4 (125)
23 Coins - Wooden box in Passenger's Room
Anchor Charm - Barrel in Crow's Nest
Lucky Medal - Barrel in the ship's hold
Nut - Jar inside the Captain's Cabin
Boss:
Kraken
Walk around on the ship and you'll automatically participate in several
dialogues. A little anchor charm is supposed to guard the ship from any
harm and the captain won't leave if it's not on the boat. Then you see a
suspicious guy walking into the "cap'n cab'n", if you try to investigate it
he comes outside and swears that he didn't do a thing (right...). There's a
Nut hidden in the Jar inside the cabin, a Lucky medal in a barrel down the
stairs on the center part of the ship and 23 coins in the passenger room.
Climb into the Crow's Nest via the ladder against the main mast and
collect the Anchor Charm from the barrel. Walk into the passenger room and
you'll overhear a conversation between some of the passengers. When you
return the charm to the captain you'll get caught in another conversation,
at the end you'll be able to give the charm to the captain and we are set
to go to Tolbi. But first you do need to show yourself to the rowing crew
below the passenger compartment. After this we can really leave, at last!
Of course what's a nice trip without some excitement; you will have to
fight through four different stages in order to reach your destination. The
first 3 are very easy, that still leaves the Kraken since a simple tactic
won't work on him.
Round 1: 3 Man o' Wars
----------------------
Not soon after the ship has left the docks some monsters start to appear
and go strait for the oarsmen (As if they were trained to do this). One of
the men gets hurt and you have to battle the three creatures that invaded
the ship. This is not a hard battle so just fight this first round against
the three "Man o' War". After the battle pick a character that you think
replaces the oarsman best. Note there is a possibility that your selection
will get you to Crossbone Isle instead of Tolbi. The people you have to
select for this are:
1. Nearly bald brown haired man
2. Bald, old, gray haired man
3. Young man in the back of the room
4. Girl with light brown hair and a light green dress
Round 2: Lizard Fighter + 2 Rabid Bats
--------------------------------------
Once again the ship is invaded. This time you have to fight a Lizard
fighter and two Rabid bats. It shouldn't be too hard to beat these goons.
So select another oarsman/woman. Check the list above if you wish to go to
Crossbone Isle first.
Round 3: Virago + 2 Man o' Wars
-------------------------------
Yep, the same thing going on as before... This is getting a bit lame. Just
fight the Virago and two Man o' Wars. I am not going to describe this
battle since it's Easy, Peasy. After the battle you will have to select
another oarsman/woman. See the list above if you want to travel to
Crossbone Isle.
Round 4: Kraken
---------------
This is a lot more of a challenge. The gigantic Kraken is quite strong so
don't underestimate him. Here's a strategy for beating this oversized
Squid:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Kraken
------------
HP: 2400 ATK: 216 AGL: 94 Weak: Fire
PP: 44 DEF: 60 LCK: 21 Strong: Water
Special: 'attack 2x', Dark Blessing, Drench, Froth Sphere, Ply,
Poisonous Beating, Spinning Beat, Water Blessing
Exp: 711
Coins: 5200
Item: Water of Life
I found this one of the harder battles in the game, especially since I
wasn't expecting a strong enemy all of a sudden after all those wimps.
Therefore I am going to give a more detailed strategy. My idea would be
putting Quartz on stand by already before the battle, then as the battle
starts:
Isaac: Granite
Garet: Scorch
Ivan: Kite
Mia: Mist
This will most surely mean that the Kraken will get either stunned or
falls asleep. The second round:
Isaac: Sap or Flint
Garet: Forge
Ivan: Breeze & Zephyr
Mia: Reset Mist (with 4 Mercury Djinn she can use Wish)
Also water attacks are not that strong so for this battle she can do the
healing or use Mist once again the next round. Depending on the actions and
the damage the Kraken inflicts on you. You can choose to be offensive or
defensive (you should have 3 Venus & Jupiter Djinn on Set now). If you get
the feeling you can take him out by summoning then do so, just subtract all
damage from the 2400 HP the Kraken has and it is easy to predict when this
squid goes down.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaja comes to you and commends you on your effort and for the last time he
asks you to pick an oarsman. Finally choice the lucky person and you'll
soon reach either Tolbi (skip the next part) or if you succeeded in
creating an UNbalanced party like the example above Crossbone Isle.
--Crossbone Isle (Optional)--
Talk to the two warriors Ouranos and Sean on the main deck and they will
ask if you want to explore the shore. Answer "YES" here and you are allowed
to go to Crossbone Isle right away. Check Appendix: B for more information
on Crossbone Isle, since you're party doesn't have all Psynergies you can
only reach the 3th floor (and the beginning of the 4th floor). This doesn't
matter because we can go back here later on, so return to the ship after
collecting the items you want and the crew changes the rowing setup so they
ship eventually reaches Tolbi.
--Tolbi Docks--
Hidden Items: 2 (127)
35 Coins - Box upper right corner of the dock
Potion - Chest upper left corner of the dock; use the crates
After everything is settled the ship reaches the docks and you can
disembark. Use Move Psynergy on the two crates to create a passage to the
far corner of the docks' field. Move the left crate twice and the other
once. Ascend the stairs to your right and jump over the crates to reach a
chest with a Potion. Other than this there isn't much to do here. You might
as well exit the docks and head for Tolbi, but first we are going to
collect a mighty fine Venus Djinni: Ground.
--World Map - Near Tolbi--
Or go west over the bridge and keep on following the path to the east to
reach the docks of Kalay via the northern route. This will bring you to the
next Venus Djinni he surrenders right away and is named: Ground. By the
way: Doesn't it seem odd to you that your journey with the boat made the
Karagol Sea look like a vast ocean, whereas you can simply run from east to
west in 10 seconds... Very weird!
--World Map - Far west of Tolbi--
Djinn:
Mercury - Hail
Another Djinni can be reached by walking around near the far west fields
of Tolbi. This only is usually very easy to find so it shouldn't be too
hard to get a battle against him:
--------------
Mercury Djinni
--------------
HP: 466 ATK: 207 AGL: 116 Weak: Fire
PP: 46 DEF: 48 LCK: 16 Strong: Water
Special: Drench, Froth Sphere, Hail Prism, Ice Horn, Tundra, Escape
Exp: 279
Coins: 340
Item: -
As with most world map Djinn make sure he doesn't run away, or else you
have to walk around that place for an even longer time. So using Djinn that
can stun and such are always welcome in the very first round. After you
beat this Djinn (it only has little over 450 HP) Hail will join you in your
quest.
--Gondowan Cave--
Chests: 2 (129)
Apple, Lucky Medal
Monsters:
Dirty Ape, Kobolt, Rat Warrior
There is a Cavern near the far east of Tolbi. Going through this cavern
creates a shortcut between Tolbi and Kalay so this may come in handy.
Follow the left path from the entrance and jump on the poles in the water
to reach a chest with a Lucky Medal. The chest at the top of the screen has
an Apple. Continue on the right, in the next room move the short and big
pillar to the left into the water creating a shortcut to the previous room.
Move the long pillar on the right into the water as well and continue on
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Disappearance of Tolbi's Mayor
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Tolbi--
Inn:
No Vacancies (Fully Booked)
Hidden Items: 9 (138)
Power Bread - Chest use "Reveal" on the gravestones to the left
Hard Nut - Jar basement of Babi's; Alchemists
Vial - Barrel in small home near the northern exit
9 Coins - Wooden barrel near Babi Palace's entrance (in Tolbi still)
Corn - Get from Merchant in town*
Lucky Medal - Barrel in room 2nd floor of the armor/weapon/item shop
Lucky Medal - Barrel top room in south east corner Babi's Palace
Lucky Medal - Jar behind most eastern home
Lucky Medal - Barrel in the upper right room of the Inn's basement*
* = after Colosso Event
Djinni:
Mars - Ember
Before doing anything here you can get to a Mars Djinni, by walking back
under the entrance arc and the moving along the right wall towards a small
plant. Use Growth on it (give Isaac a Mars Djinni) and climb the vine, use
Frost on the water puddle and backtrack to the Inn and go over the frozen
pillar and you'll reach the Mars Djinni. Ember comes along with you right
away.
When you try to walk to the north-west exit you are stopped by two guards
who ask if you have seen a missing person. That guy is Babi as the Guards
explain and he's been missing for quite a while now. If you enter the
palace and head up towards Babi's room you'll overhear a conversation
between two people. They speak of Babi's disappearance and the Altmiller
Cave to the north of town. Walk around in Babi's place and you can even
enter the tribunes of the Colosso to see qualifying rounds for the
Gladiators. In one of the room is a young girl that appears to be held
hostage by Babi for some reason.
Also there are three mini-games that can be played in Tolbi: Lucky Dice,
Fountain of Tolbi and the Slot Machine. The latter two can give you
valuable armors and other stuff that can be equipped. Also note that the
shirts you win in the slot machine can be worn underneath the regular armor
so you can wear both at the same time! Here's a description of the mini-
games you can play here in Tolbi.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Fountain
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In the center of Tolbi's Square you can find a small fountain. Talk to the
guy in front of it and you are allowed to go near the fountain itself. The
goal of this game is pretty simple: Turn your back to the fountain and
throw a coin or a Lucky Medal in it, and see where it lands. Throwing in
coins is rather useless since you hardly get anything back for it:
Coins
-----------------------
Center Circle: 20 Coins
1st Circle: 10 Coins
2nd Circle: 2 Coins
3rd Circle: 1 Coins
Outer Circle: 0 Coins
Outside: 0 Coins

I am not entirely sure how the choice for each specific item is determined,
when you throw in a Lucky Medal... I would like to point out that it is
impossible to miss, since you always get an item. For the real collector it
may be hard to get at least one of each item, if you are a real collector
though. It could also have something to do with the number of time you hit
a Turtle or a Crab, but I cannot confirm this. There is an infinite supply
of Lucky Medals, since the Orc Lord (we'll meet him later on) has the Lucky
Medal as Dropped Item. So you can try indefinitely if you really want to.

Next to the entrance of the Inn is a staircase that leads to a room above
it. Inside you can participate in the Slot Machine Mini-game. This is
actually one of the more interesting ways to spend your time, at least try
to get some shirts and boots for these are very handy. The shirts can be
worn underneath your regular armor, so be sure to equip them anyway even if
they may appear to be a bit weak. Also the Hyper Boots have the ability to
increase the chance your weapon does an Unleash (if the weapon has one in
the first place), these unleashes are quite important since those attacks
are very strong.
You can either spend 1, 2, 3 or 4 tickets at once. It would be a waste to
spend 4 tickets in one turn, since you can easily get an item if you play a
little strategically (I can say this out of own experience that 2 tickets
is more than enough usually). Walk up to the slot machine and press A to
start playing.
After the first turn select the group you want that has the most aligned
items already. For example if you want to win either any Ring, Shirt or
Boot then look at which row has the most of either of these items (e.g. has
the greatest chance). Lock those Slots including the Slots on which the row
has a Moon (Moon is a "Joker" that counts for anything) and pull the lever
again and hope for some good results, then go for that type for the next 4
rounds. 9 out of 10 times I can get the desired prize this way.
Boots Shirts Rings Star/Heart Moon
------------- --------------- -------------- -------------- -------------
Fur Boots Mythril Shirt Adept's Ring Vial Anything
Quick Boots Running Shirt Sleep Ring Water of Life
Hyper Boots Silk Shirt War Ring Potion
Note that it is even possible to get more than one item using this method.
I once managed to win some boots and a shirt with another row.
Theoretically this would mean that you can earn up to 7 prizes, but I think
it is impossible to pull this off in practice without hacking the game.
If you run out of Game Tickets you can sell or buy some equipment, but the
more Game Tickets you obtain the higher the value of your purchase needs to
be in order to get a game ticket. You can however get Game Tickets for
a relatively cheap price by doing the following.
Additionally, each time you reset the GBA the first item you win cannot
be either Hyper Boots or Mythril Shirt. Also game does not reward you with
the same prize in a row. Thus after getting the first boots / shirt you
have 50-50 chance of getting Hyper boots / Mythril shirt for the next time
if you get the a win in the category boots or shirts respectively. Lastly,
because the RNG is highly time dependent (in frames) it's impossible to
generate a decent RN strategy to fool the game. To get infinite amount of
game tickets see the Extra appendix for a trick.

Lucky Dice
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Inside the small tent (Marked with a Dice on the front) you can play the
Lucky Dice Mini-Game. The idea here is that you either match up the same
dice or you throw the dice in such a way they land on the same area on the
table. This is called a pair.
Single Match: 1x your bet (No loss / Profit)
Double Match: 2x your bet
Triple Match: 3x your bet
Quadruple Match: 5x your bet
This game doesn't give you any prizes other than coins, but there is a
strategy by PPK (Eric Hokenson) that allows you to get the grand prize of
5x Perfect Bonus by following these steps:
Step 1 - Save in the lucky dice hut. I prefer saving right in front of the
NPC who gives you the dice.
Step 2 - Soft OR hard reset the game. For those who don't know a soft reset
in holding down A+B+Select+Start and a hard reset is simply
turning off the system then turning it back on.
Step 3 - Load your file and get your dice.
Step 4 - The lucky dice game should start with the perfect bonuses as x3 as
a 2 and the x5 as a 1. Move the hands all the way up till they
won't go any higher then toss them. You should get a "Two Pair!"
of 3,3,2,2.
Step 5 - The perfect bonuses should be x3 a 2 and x5 a 3. Throw the dice
straight that means DON'T move the hands leave the D-Pad alone
just toss. You should now get a "One Pair!" of 3,6,3,5.
Step 6 - The perfect bonuses should now be x3 a 6 and x5 a 4. Move the
hands all the way down this time and toss. You'll get a
"One Pair!" of 4,2,1,4.
Step 7 - Perfect bonuses should be x3 a 4 and x5 a 3. Move the hands all
the way down again and toss the dice. You'll now get a
"Perfect!!!" of 3,3,3,3 which you see is the x5 perfect bonus.
You can continue playing or quit Lucky Dice. It's possible to extend the
Perfect Bonus strategy a second round after this. Just do the following
upon winning the first round:
Step 8 - Don't exit out. Instead, continue throwing.
Step 9 - First, throw straight (don't touch the D-pad).
Step 10 - Press all the way down and throw,
Step 11 - Go all the way up and throw
Step 12 - Finally go all the way down and throw.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In short: To get two perfects in a row it's:
Up, Straight, Down, Down, Straight, Down, Up, Down.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Get your money, save, hard or soft reset, and then repeat this method
again and again to max your coins which is pretty trivial if you fought a
lot of monster to begin with.

Okay, let's continue on with the plot. Like I said before the Altmiller
Cave and the disappearance of Babi seem to have some connection, so check
out that cavern to the north.
--Altmiller Cave--
Chests: 3 (141)
Cookie, Mystic Draught, Vial
Djinni:
Jupiter - Squall
Monsters:
Mimic, Clay Gargoyle, Dread Hound*, Foul Dirge, Gnome Mage, Golem,
Mad Mole, Wight, Worm
* = Rarely drops Prophet's Hat
Inside walk according to the given path and the room will start becoming
darker. After 2 rooms you come to a big room with a Mimic on the right
side.
-----
Mimic

PP: 48 DEF: 63 LCK: 15 Strong: Wind
Special: Debilitate, Psy Drain, Sleep, Nettle, Curse
Exp: 374
Coins: 415
Item: Water of Life
Keep on following that path and near the middle of the room you will come
across a mysterious and invisible person lying on the ground. This person
seems to have been exhausted so much that he cannot move and therefore asks
Isaac and Co. to get the draught that will rejuvenate him that is located
down the bottom of the cavern. Mia asks whether there is a pharmacy down
there and the figure replies to that witty comment. He tells that at the
end of the cave there are 5 rocks aligned, you must then rotate the rocks
on the left and right sides. If you turn these in the right order some
lights will appear. Turn the rocks according to those lights and the path
will open up to the draught. The rocks are ordered like this:
______ ______ ______ ______ ______
| Blue | |Green | |White | |Yellow| | Red |
¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯
Just before you leave he also tells that the draught is on a table behind
those stones. Go down the stairs and take the upper route to find a chest
with a Vial. The lower route leads to the next room, there's no need for
directions since you can't get lost here even though it's dark around here.
In the next room go to the north and ascend the stairway, move the first
log to the right, the lower horizontal one up, freeze the puddle and push
the last two logs back into their original direction. The Icy pillar will
stop them so you can get past them from both directions, move the upper
horizontal log down and you can reach the Jupiter Djinni which will do
battle with you.

Item: -
Squall joins you move the pillar on the right into the pit and jump over
it to reach the next room. Follow the upper wall here and you'll reach a
chest with a Cookie inside. Head back to the right and follow the wall on
the right and after a long walk the exit to the next room will become
visible. Leave the logs as they are and walk down, ascend the stair and go
around the room. Fall down the edge, move the log to the left enter the
passage, the next room contains those five rocks the guy from earlier on
spoke about. The five lights appear and start to rotate around a few
seconds until they stop with the blue one at the top. Hit the corresponding
rock. The order is blue, green, white, yellow & red, but just in case you
forget it you can also use "Reveal" to display the colors as well. In the
chest behind the newly created path you'll find the mystic Draught.
Backtrack to the shadowy figure lying on the ground and give him the
Draught. He becomes visible and it turns out to be none other than Babi.
After a small conversation about an ancient civilization called Lemuria
Babi's Guards come in and escort him out. Just before Babi leaves he
invites them to the Colosso's main event. Exit the cave and head back for
the Colosso by exiting Tolbi via the central north entrance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Of Gladiators and Glory
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Colosso--
To most of the others displeasure Isaac will have to enter the battlefield
alone, although the other three can help Isaac out by using their
Psynergies in the field. I'll explain this later on.
In the main hall you can talk to all of the seven other Gladiators, here's
a list of all of them. Not that it is very useful, but take a look at it
anyway. It turns out to be that the three Gladiators you are going to fight
were not even the highest ranked Gladiators!
Rank Name Color
---- -------- -----------
1st Morgan Blue
2nd Azart Orange
3rd Galahad Purple
4th Satrage Green
5th Dekka Light Blue
6th Navampa Magenta
7th Buford Black
8th* Isaac n/a
* = Improvised
One of the guards gives a tour through the first arena. He explains that
getting to the center of the stage gives you a better piece of equipment.
Don't bother too much with the items along the way since they are simple
healing items. Also Unleash Venus Djinni Sap in Battle against the
Gladiators will heal most of your wounds and inflicts damage all the same,
making healing items rather useless. Listen to the descriptions of each
stage and place one of the adepts according to which Psynergy fits bet to
help Isaac, here my set up for the first round. Here's what your party
members can do:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Round 1:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Chests: 3 (144)
1st: Nut
2nd: -
3rd: Oil Drop
4th: Nut
"Lend a Hand" Party Member Help per Stage:
Stage Character What to do
----- --------- ---------------------------------------------------------
1st: Garet Use "Move" on the Central Pillar
2nd: Ivan/Mia Use "Douse" to fill the bucket (Need Douse Drop equipped)
3rd: Ivan Use "Growth" (if Ivan has a Venus Djinni)
4th: - No help possible
So put either Ivan/Mia in either 3 or 4 since she can't help this round,
unless you gave Ivan a Venus Djinni so he can use Growth in the 3rd part.
This however means that Isaac will be weakened and the gain is very minimal
so I would say not to use this. Too bad you can't use Halt on the Operator
Guy...
Talk to the guard so you can go back and stand on your circle to start the
event. You should have plenty of time in this first round so don't worry
too much about the other guy, in fact if you used help in the first two
stage you can pick up all three items without worrying about getting in too
late! In order to get the Nut in the fourth stage you'll need to do the
following for the most efficient route:
- Move Vertical Log Right
- Walk around the pool
- Move Horizontal Log Down
- Walk back to the vertical one
- Move Vertical Log Left
- Climb down ladder
- Collect Nut
- Move Vertical Log Right
- Exit
The moment you reach the middle Isaac will automatically pick up the
strongest (upper) shield if that is available. Once both warriors reach the
middle the battle commences.
-------------
Battle: Azart

Item: -
Take note that Azart will have more defense if you let him collect get to
the center first; his defense will be 20 instead of 2. Since Azart has only
450 HP you can use 4 Earth Djinn and Summon Judgment to beat Azart right
away, easy as pie. After the battle Isaac will be healed miraculously! If
you manage to get go down in battle you'll be automatically transported to
the bedroom of Babi's little palace, where the game continues on with the
story line.

Stage Character What to do
----- --------- ---------------------------------------------------------
1st Garet Use "Move" on the middle pillar
2nd Ivan Use "Halt" (equip Halt Gem) on the operator guy
3rd Mia Use "Frost" on the left puddle (right puddle is useless)
4th - No help possible
5th Garet Use "Force" on the log from the right
Garet has two options here, either use Move in the First Stage or Force in
the 5th Stage. Using Force in the 5th saves you a lot more time that using
Move in the first, but the choice is up to you. BTW with the first stage I
mean the stage closest to the entrance to the Main Hall.
Talk to the guard again and do your best to reach the middle as fast as
possible. The time limit is fairly tight even with all the assistance you
get from your friends, so don't waste too much time on the useless items
anyway. Here are some extra hints for some the fourth stage: Isaac has to
slide down the middle part or else he has to start over again, of course
you could use growth (if Isaac has a Mars Djinni) to minimize the climbing
time in this stage, but that doesn't really help you at all.
The hero will automatically pick up the strongest armor up that is still
there. After both fighters reach the middle the battle starts just like in
the previous round, note that if you collected any items in the previous
round you can use them here too!
---------------
Battle: Satrage
---------------
HP: 570 ATK: 228 AGL: 73 Weak: All
PP: 0 DEF: 6/28 LCK: 12 Strong: -
Special: Use "Smoke Bomb" / "Nut", Defend
Exp: 0
Coins: 0
Item: -
Use the same fighting strategy on Satrage that you used for Azart to beat
him, Use Djinn (use Sap for the last unleash) and unleash the wrath of
Judgment to finish Satrage off. Also just like in the other round Satrage
will have more defense if you let him pick up the better armor. After the
battle Isaac will be miraculously healed again! If you go down here the
game continues on as if you'd won, but you won't get the Lure Cap and a
special event in the Lost Age won't take place either.

Stage Character What to do
----- --------- ---------------------------------------------------------
1st Mia Use "Frost" on the hidden puddle below the elevator
2nd Garet Use "Move" on the pillar and push it to the RIGHT
3rd Ivan Use "Halt" on the Operator (need Halt Gem)
4th - No help possible
5th Ivan Use "Force" on the Log (need Orb of Force)
6th - No help possible
Same strategy as with the previous field, don't bother too much with the
chests. Ivan can do field 3 or 5, but the third with Halt gives a bigger
time saver. Also the last field will take quite some time so look carefully
at the field to find the quickest possible path when you get instructions.
If Isaac has a Mars Djinni in his Inventory he can use "Growth" on the
plant in the 4th field. This can save some time, but that also means your
fight with Navampa will be harder for your class will become weaker with a
Mars Djinn among your Venus Djinn. Although it is possible to reach the
middle with collecting all the chests it is hardly worth all the fuzz, so
ignore them and go strait to your target!
If you manage to get in first you'll pick up the upper weapon (Claymore)
and fight a weaker Navampa, if he gets first you'll have to face his
stronger form.
---------------
Battle: Navampa
---------------
HP: 820 ATK: 232/274 AGL: 84 Weak: All
PP: 0 DEF: 54 LCK: 16 Strong: -
Special: Use "Smoke Bomb" / "Sleep Bomb" / "Nut", Defend
Exp: 0
Coins: 0
Item: -
This battle goes nearly the same way as the other two, but be careful he
is somewhat stronger than the previous two. Since he has 820 HP one
Judgment by itself isn't enough to finish him. Of course it is no problem
if you lose this fight, but you won't get the Lure Cap and no additional
treasure in GS:TLA. After beating up Navampa Isaac is totally exhausted and
collapses right away, while your own partners are making only silly
comments, instead of helping him.
--Babi's Palace--
Hidden Items: 2 (153)
Lure Cap - Get it from Babi if you beat the Colosso event
Cloak Ball - Get it from Babi after he goes to bed
After waking up in Babi's place, listen to the conversation again and jump
out of bed by pressing Left. Go up to Babi's room and Babi gives you the
Lure Cap if you bested Navampa and then read or skip through the very very
VERY looonnng conversation. It comes down to this:
Babi prolonged his life to unusual old age by drinking that Mystic
Draught. Babi explains that the Draught comes from a hidden place called
"Lemuria". This Lemuria is a bit like what we would call Atlantis; an old
and lost civilization. He once went there when he was sailing with Lunpa
during the "Great Flood" (indeed that villain who founded the village Lunpa
close to Vale).
Because Babi is running out of his draught he needs to acquire some new,
so he sent out many ships to find Lemuria again which is located somewhere
in the open ocean. All the ships came back without ever finding the place,
for it seems to be the mist and the ever changing currents make it
impossible even for the most accomplished sailor to navigate through.
Therefore Babi has started building on his own Lighthouse similar to that
of the Venus Lighthouse. Using the beacon from this immense tower a ship
could have fixed point which it focus on in order to navigate through these
current and find Lemuria once again. However this didn't work out as well
as planned up to now; Babi is running out of Draught and the lighthouse
isn't finished at all. Fortunately for him he met Isaac and the other who
are Adepts. As Babi tells he left Lemuria with a Lemurian ship that he was
able to guide with the little Psynergy that he learned during his stay over
there. He needs Adepts capable of using Psynergy to use the ship and since
Isaac and the others are the only who can do this he requests them to go to
Lemuria on his behalf.
A bit later the Venus Lighthouse becomes the topic of the conversation,
You go to the south to solve the riddles of the Venus Lighthouse and Iodem
will help you on your way to that place. He will meet up with you on the
Gondowan Bridge to the south of Tolbi. Babi goes to bed and follow him (No,
not like that), try to pick up the Cloak ball next to his bed and you can
borrow it for a while. This item will be very useful to you later on so
don't forget about it (I know it is easy to miss).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Rescuing Master Hammet (Optional)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you get the Cloak Ball go east through the Gondowan Cave we already
passed (if you followed my instructions) then head north towards the cave
next to Lunpa.
--West Lunpa Cave--
Perhaps you've already been to Lunpa when backtracking as suggested in
chapter 8, but now we can save Master Hammet with the use of the Cloak
Ball. Use "Frost" on the water puddle beneath the half closed gate, this
opens it up and you can enter Lunpa.
--Lunpa--
Head up and stand in the shadows near the left side, equip the Cloak ball
to any character and use the "Cloak" Psynergy (Stay in the shadows or else
you will uncloak).
--Lunpa Fortress-
Hidden Items: 1 (154)
Vial
Chests: 6 (160)
Power Bread, Mythril Circlet, 100 Coins, Elixir, Lucky Medal
Djinni:
Mercury - Tonic
Monsters:
Brigand, Kobolt, Rat Warrior, Vile Dirge
Boss:
Toadonpa
Once inside follow the upper right route and stay cloaked (So don't go
into the light). Head up to the stairs, cloak again and keep going north.
You can go to the small room in the back here too. There an old man and a
Vial in one of the Barrels here. Cloak again, and go down to the next room.
(Keep cloaking every time you come from an entrance) Wait for the guard to
pass by and then go down. Take note of the locked door on the left side;
after we get the Cell Key we can use it on this door to get four treasures:
Mythril Circlet (the most powerful Circlet), 100 Coins, Elixir, Lucky
Medal. In the next room follow the path and go upstairs.
Run up as soon as the guards turn around, wait in the middle and do it
again for the second part, follow the path and eventually there are three
guys with red caps. These guards won't set you out but will fight you.
After their quick defeat continue further on to east. Here's another guard,
dispatch of it swiftly and enter the room above to find Donpa asleep. Go
south, carefully run past the moving guard here (the guard comes back half
way!), go down again, use "Catch" on the key and fight the next guard. Note
that you can't enter the menu via the 'A' button, when you are close to the
locked door so use 'Select' or assign a shortcut key to "Catch". Go
downstairs twice use "Whirlwind" on the bush, use "Reveal" on it too and
then press the hidden switch on the left.
Enter the doorway, go to the upper-left corner, use "Whirlwind" on the
bush here for another hidden entrance. Go inside open the middle cell for a
chest with a Power Bread, continue on to the south, go through the cell
door and push the large crate into the gap to the south. Go west and use
"Whirlwind" & "Reveal" once more to open the secret passage. After this
point you will find Master Hammet, but also the devious Dodonpa. He sends
his Toadonpa pet after you. It's time for another boss battle although
Toadonpa isn't really hard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Toadonpa
--------------
HP: 2800 ATK: 266 AGL: 82 Weak: Fire
PP: 0 DEF: 52 LCK: 18 Strong: Water
Special: Dark Blessing, Rotten Blood, Sticky Poison, Trash,
'regenerate 80 HP'
Exp: 999
Coins: 3200
Item: Psy Crystal
You could try to Summon Rush this Boss by setting 4 Djinn of each type and
using Summon all 4 in the first round. This way you can nearly beat the
Frog in one go, although it won't be enough. Use some more Attacks /
Psynergies / Unleashes and the toad is squashed. Don't worry about his
regenerating abilities for 80 HP nearly nothing compared to the damage you
can inflict against him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toadonpa falls on it back and Dodonpa gets trapped under his own
disgusting pet! Isaac and the others save him, yet he still keeps low to
the ground. A little later Donpa comes in and solves all the problems. It
seems to be Donpa spoiled his son Dodonpa too much as a son, so will make
up for that now and sets everybody free again and the shops sell the
weapons and armors again. However some of the henchmen inside the fortress
are still loyal only to Dodonpa so Isaac, Master Hammet and the others
still have to sneak out.
--West Lunpa Cave--
Upon exiting the cavern Master Hammet spots Bunza (one of Hammet's
soldiers) who is trying to enter Lunpa to trade with them even though they
are hostile people. He has a wagon nearby that makes it easier for Hammet
to escape from Lunpa without having to deal with all of Dodonpa's men. You
can also get a free ride to Kalay if you choose for that option. Perhaps
you want to stay behind, since you still have to collect Mercury Djinni:
Tonic from Donpa. In order to stay behind you have to answer: No, Yes, Yes
if Garet asks you to go or not to go.
--Lunpa Fortress--
If you visit old Donpa again, he'll let you into the back room, here you
can find another Mercury Djinni named Tonic. This Djinn joins your party
for free and above all the abilities of Tonic can be very handy in the more
difficult Boss battles as he can cure any ailment for all party members,
when he is unleashed in combat.
--Kalay Tunnel Entrance--
Hammet goes towards his palace using the secret entrance in order to avoid
contact with any of Dodonpa's men that may be around in Kalay. Then Bunza
takes you to the entrance of Kalay where you find the end of the line and
disembark the wagon.
--Kalay--
Now that Hammet went through the secret entrance you can backtrack the
path he used in the sewers for some extra items. Go to Hammet's palace and
enter the room on the right, go down the stairs and go up (the locked gates
are now open). Also you can get another small cut-scene if you go to Lady
Layana and Master Hammet's room. Hammet will hint you that you should take
the Shaman's Rod to Hesperia; the continent west of Angara (remember that
name well).
--Kalay Tunnel--
Open the four chests to obtain a Sleep bomb, Lucky Coin, Potion and 200
Coins. Move the statue in front of the waterfall to create a new
passageway, freeze the puddle down drained lake and then you'll find some
Spirit Gloves. Head north go up the stairs, follow the left path, go up two
more stairs and collect the Apple from the chest in the cavern. Walk
outside and lastly collect the Nut from the tree. Slide down the slope and
that's it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Crossing Suhalla Desert
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After saving Hammet (or not saving Hammet) you can go south from Tolbi to
the Gondowan Bridge. Enter it and you will meet Iodem who will join your
group to help you cross Suhalla Desert. Continue on to the east after the
bridge and Isaac and friends reach Suhalla.
--Suhalla--
Inn:
72 Coins
Hidden Items: 4 (164)
5 Coins - Jar just below the entrance of the town
Smoke Bomb - Oven in the small home; an oven in the desert?!?
Lucky Medal - Jar next to shrine, jump over the water behind it
Hard Nut - Chest farther on to the left from the Lucky medal
Enter the house in the lower right corner and Iodem will come forth and
talks to the two injured men on the beds. They start to speak about a woman
named Sheba, she turned out to be the sole reason why the villagers of
Lalivero aided in building Babi Tower. They also tell that you can stop
cyclones with water, make a mental note of that. There is not much else to
do here so either stay at the Inn or leave for the desert to the east.
--Suhalla Desert--
Chests: 3 (167)
Virtuous Armlet, Lucky Medal, Cookie
Djinni:
Mars - Flash
Monsters:
Mimic, Tornado Lizard, Brutal Troll, Magicore (drops Aura gloves), Roach,
Stone Soldier, Harridan, Tempest Lizard
Boss:
Storm Lizard
From the start go right and listen to Iodem's advice. Make sure you have
"Douse" (You should have a Douse Drop or Mia) Psynergy and use that on the
cyclone the moment you get caught. Doing this will force you to do battle
with a Tornado Lizard which drops over 600 experience points, which is
quite a lot (a combination of Flint/Sap, Scorch, Smog/Squall and Hail
should finish one in one round) Continue on and open the chest for a
Virtuous Armlet.
Go back and take the left path use the Douse Psynergy again on the cyclone
for a fight and continue on. In the lower part of the screen is a chest
with a Mimic, but first you need to take out one of the storm lizards to
get there.

south and go toward the next screen. Here are three paths you can choose
from the right one leads to a chest with a Lucky Medal, the left one a
cookie and the center for the path to the next field.
Near the stairs that lead to the lower part of the level use Reveal on the
left side to make a pillar appear, jump over the pit and head down the left
towards stairs. Here you'll find your next Mars Djinni: Flash; this one
will put up fight before he surrenders so here goes.

Item: -
Enter the cavern if you like and you'll end up near a big tornado. This is
the Tempest Lizard if you DON'T beat him and you can actually get a free
ride to Crossbone Isle. I recommend you do this later on after you learn
the final Psynergy in the Venus Lighthouse or else you will have to
backtrack several times, but feel free to go if you like. Alternatively, you
can beat him for training purposes. He gives even more exp and coins than
the Storm Lizard plus he always returns after you exit the desert and come
back to this place.

Tempest Lizard

HP: 3000 ATK: 295 AGL: 114 Weak: Earth
PP: 45 DEF: 94 LCK: 26 Strong: Water
Special: 'attack 2x', Impact, Storm Ray, Sonic Slash, Tempest, Ward,
Wing Stroke
Exp: 1360
Coins: 6400
Item: Potion
I'll continue on with the plot here right now. Go back to the other
stairway and walk around in the desert, Isaac will automatically catch up
with another big tornado. Use douse as always and now you have to fight the
Storm Lizard. Although if you run a very efficient route you can actually
outrun the tornado to the exit! This is one boss you are not necessarily
forced to fight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Storm Lizard
------------------
HP: 2900 ATK: 291 AGL: 112 Weak: Water

Special: 'Attack 2x', Impact, Sonic Slash, Storm Ray, Tempest, Ward,
Wing Stroke
Exp: 1300
Coins: 6100
Item: Psy Crystal
This guy isn't that tough; he's actually weaker than the Tempest Lizard.
Use the same tactics as with the Tornado Lizards to beat him. Of course
boosting your statistics a bit by releasing some Djinn may be wise, even
though this Lizard isn't as hard as it seems.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Near the exit of the Suhalla Desert Iodem appears again, he asks what
could have happened to Sheba. Then they decide to continue on to the Venus
Lighthouse and Lalivero. Our next stop will be the Venus Lighthouse!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. The Riddles of the 2 Lighthouses
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Suhalla Gate--
Chests: 1 (168)
Mint
Monsters:
Nightmare, Gnome Wizard, Cannibal Ghoul, Horned Ghost, Mole Mage, Goblin
Djinni:
Mercury - Dew
Iodem will appear again as you get close to the two fallen guards that
appear here. They tell about the Felix's group who has just passed by,
they're very near to the Venus Lighthouse so Isaac must hurry on. On the
next screen fall down the very first slide to find a chest with some Mint
at the bottom. Then fall down the third slide from the left on the next
screen in order to reach the Final Mercury Djinni: Dew.

Mercury Djinni

HP: 654 ATK: 281 AGL: 172 Weak: Fire
PP: 59 DEF: 77 LCK: 19 Strong: Water
Special: Deluge, Froth Sphere, Glacier, Ice Horn, Hail Prism, Escape
Exp: 606
Coins: 484
Item: -
--Gateway Cave (optional)--
You can enter the cavern on the right here to get an extra cut-scene
further on, but this is not necessary. The cut-scene shows Iodem using a
Black Orb on the shipwreck, Iodem thought that this might have been a
Lemurian ship, but it is not so he takes the Orb back and you can leave for
Lalivero now once more.
--Suhalla Gate (east)--
Here Isaac finds a nearly dead soldier, he tells about a group of traveler
that passed by here just a while ago after saying this he evaporates.
Continue on and the Venus Lighthouse will be in sight!

13.1 Venus Lighthouse - Dead End!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--Venus Lighthouse Entry-
Lots of injured people are lying around, surely Saturos and Menardi have
been here already. Mind Read the second guard here and he will speak about
an Alchemist who served Babi: Kraden. One of the Scolars tells you that the
Venus Lighthouse finally opened up, which means Saturos and the others have
passed by here quite recently. Another guard tells you that the boy in the
group started glowing just before the lighthouse started to open. This
means that Felix opened the doorway, however only a Venus Adept could do
such a thing... Enter the lighthouse so you can grab some more items.
--Venus Lighthouse (Base Section)--
Chests: 2 (170)
Carry Stone, Lucky Cap
Monsters:
Earth Golem, Goblin, Horned Ghost, Nightmare
Inside walk the fallen scholar tells you that Kraden made the villains
stop killing everybody. Go up one room and examine the wall, it says:
"If ye seek to climb Venus Lighthouse, first seek the power
within. To obtain this power, see with the eyes of truth.
Then the way shall open. But the path I reveal is not the
beginning. The true beginning lies down ancient pathways
on distant soils."
Use "Reveal" on this wall in the middle to make a stairway visible, use it
and obtain the Carry stone. Equipping this learns you Carry (Note: Now you
are ready to tackle Crossbone Isle although you can do that after going
through Lalivero as well).
Go back upstairs and follow the left route until you find yourself stuck
with a gray square stone, use Carry on it to move it out of the way. Head
through the next entrance go up, use Reveal right away, go up another set
of hidden stairs and walk up to the big statue. Stand in front of it and
some magic happens and a path is opened, if you talk to it again a
different path is displayed. This has influence on the route you take, but
they both end up at the same goal.
You can go back and follow the right path jump over the tile in one of the
rooms on the right side (using the left route) and find some more stairs
and the end you can find a chest with a Lucky Cap. Use "Retreat" right away
to exit the Lighthouse, since you can't continue on using this path. You
have reached a dead end here. Take the right exit at the Venus Lighthouse
Entry and go to Lalivero.

14.2 Babi's Tower
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--Lalivero--
Inn:
100 Coins
Hidden Items: 5 (175)
Psy Crystal - Check Stone pillar in center of town
Lucky Medal - Barrel in left room of the 1st floor in the Inn
Antidote - Barrel in the item shop
Water of Life - Jar atop the item shop
Black Orb - Get it from Iodem after you light the Venus Lighthouse
Chests: 1 (176)
Warrior's Helm
Djinni:
Mars - Torch
At the entrance of Lalivero are even more soldiers that have been slain.
After talking to these as well go to the shop to buy some stronger
equipment (They have a lot of new Artifacts here). Enter the lower left
home ascend the ladder and jump over to the wall on the left. Walk around
the town, climb down the vine and collect the Warrior's Helm. Isaac's
Ultimate Helm!
Enter the weapon shop, climb up to the roof and make your way to the
Djinni atop the Inn. The last Mars Djinni is called Torch; Garet's
Collection should be complete now. Continue up to the north for Babi's
Lighthouse.
--Road to Babi's Lighthouse--
Hidden Items: 1 (177)
Lucky Pepper
From the start go right, move the rock to the left and use Carry on it
twice to create a path to the chest on the upper level for a Lucky Pepper.
--Babi's Lighthouse Entry--
Just outside in front of the entrance go down the stairs on the left side.
Move the pillar one space to the left and go upstairs again. Move the
pillar on the right side of the Lighthouse to find another entrance leadin
down. Go down the stairs and also move this pillar to the left here so you
can pass by. Climb the ladder at the end and use "Growth" on the plant
outside. Go up the vine and fall down the slide inside the lighthouse on
the second level.
--Babi's Lighthouse--
Djinni:
Jupiter - Luff
Monsters:
Chimera Mage, Ice Gargoyle, Nightmare, Manticore King
If you went inside Babi's Tower using the path I described you can reach
another one of those Djinn here. Inside go down another slide and you'll
meet the final Jupiter Djinni in this game: Luff.
--------------
Jupiter Djinni
--------------
HP: 688 ATK: 302 AGL: 177 Weak: Earth
PP: 62 DEF: 85 LCK: 21 Strong: Wind
Special: Blue Bolt, Destruct Ray, Shine Plasma, Tornado, Wind Slash,Escape
Exp: 677
Coins: 506
Item: -
After getting Luff fall down the slide, go up the two left stairs then
slide down the upper slide and you'll go past the locked door on the
basement level (you can actually open it now, by walking through the south
entrance). Here Isaac & Iodem reach Faran and after some talking about
Sheba and Lavilero. Iodem stays behind and will let you travel on under the
lighthouse. Use "Reveal" to find a hidden switch that allows you to open
the door in front of you. Head up and follow the path behind it to reach
the Tunnel Ruins.
--Tunnel Ruins--
Chests: 2 (179)
Asura's Armor, Oracle Robe
Monsters:
Chimera Mage, Manticore King, Skull Warrior, Wild Gryphon, Willowisp
Inside walk up to the huge statue that should been activated by your visit
to the Venus Lighthouse previously. If you haven't been there you'll have
to backtrack to the Venus Lighthouse right away and activate the Statue
(see section 14.1).
Go down one screen and move one pillar to the right so path is created on
the upper layer to get past the wall here (why are there two pillars here
if you only need 1?). Continue on down and here you will notice a
difference if you walked up to the statue in the Venus Lighthouse once or
twice. Either left or lower path will be opened, either path leads to a
strong armor and the same exit. If you want to have both armors you have to
go through it twice which means more backtracking. So I suggest you take
both paths if you have enough time (and you should have). You can use
"Retreat" to speed up returning to the start of the Tunnel Ruins.
--Left Path--
Move the two pillars down and left in order to create a new passageway to
the next room. In this next room use Whirlwind on the hidden left pillar
twice then bring it down by using move. Move it all the way around to the
right and do so the same for the upper right pillar so you can pass on to
the next part. Use Whirlwind once again, go past the next corridor and use
the two right blocks in combination with "Carry" Psynergy on the right
elevator to make the left rise up. Head down, take the left path and cast
"Reveal" on the statue to make a chest appear. Pick up an Oracle Robe and
go back so you can take the right route.
--Lower Path--
Move the water pillar onto the water crest and the platform rises up, do
the same for the other after using "Douse" on it. Follow the right path in
next room to find an Asura's Armor. Go back and take the other route, move
the small pillar into the correct spot and use Douse and Frost to create a
path to the next room.
--After the Left/Lower Path--
In the next room there is a simple Colored Statue Puzzle; "Mind Read" the
statues to figure out the pattern. Of course instead of thinking you could
just look at this picture, it should look something like this:
R B
O
G V
R = Red B = Blue
O = Orange G = Green
V = Violet
Go through the door and you'll make it past the dead end you saw earlier
on. You're now in the last part of the last dungeon in this game: Venus
Lighthouse - Upper layer!

If you go up the left stairs from this initial room and you can return to
the lower level of the Lighthouse. Continue on, go up the middle path,
after that take the far left passageway, Carry the block into the pit,
continue on to the next room (across the Sand Slide; walk diagonal up
left).
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If you have troubles getting to the other side of the Sand Slide
try to Run (hold B) diagonally against the current; the net effect
will be that you will move horizontally!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Go down the lower path to find a Cursed Thunder Crown (equip if you like
after obtaining Cleric's Ring). Head back and use the path to find a room
with three sand falls on your left. Go through the most right one, hop over
the rocks via the left side to the south exit. Behind this room is a very
simply puzzle, just move the block with the vertical stripe into the hole
to continue on. Hit the button and use the newly created path to go back to
the main room.
You'll notice that the Sand slides have shifted. Enter the door to the far
right that was previously unreachable, use Move on the left pillar, head
north, push upper pillar to the left, go back, jump over to that pillar and
ascend the stairs. For the next ball course puzzle slide the two corner
piece into either left or right two holes and the horizontal slide into the
upper or lower other hole. Should be simple to do without making a mistake,
continue on and to the upper left corner of the following sand slide room,
go through the south passage first and collect the Dragon Scales behind the
right sand fall. Behind the left sand fall is the path to the next puzzle
where you have to use Carry to get two blocks onto the left elevator. Press
the button in the next room and use again the newly created path to get
back to the room of the three slides of which two are filled with sand now,
this allows you to reach the lower left corner exit.
Go to the lower left corner door, proceed on and take a careful look at
the shifting Sand maze to find a path to the lower right corner. Here is
the most powerful sword available for Isaac in this game the: 'Gaia Blade'.
This is Isaac's ultimate Weapon and the Unleash does a huge amount of
damage. So equip it right away. Run to the upper left exit and follow the
path to the right to find the final slider puzzle. First move the left
corner piece (next to the vertical slide) into the upper left hole, move
the piece farthest to the right into the gap beneath the previous one,
place the third corner piece in hole 5 squares down. Finally push the
strait vertical piece into the slide in the lower right corner and the door
will open for you. Press the third button and use final path to return to
the '3 slides' room. Go through the door in the upper right corner and
continue on very final room.
If you want to go back and do something else do it now! This is the point
of... "No Return", you can still save later on, but after you fall down the
slide here you can't get outside of Lalivero anymore!!! Slide down the gap
here and you'll land on a small floating platform similar to the one you
saw at the Mercury Lighthouse. Yes, you are transported to the Venus
lighthouse Aerie! Let's go on to the last part of this game.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. The Final encounter: You shall not light the Beacon!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once Isaac & Co. reach the top of the Venus Lighthouse they finally meet
up with the other group (Where they just waiting for you to show up?).
You'll hear Menardi speaking about lighting the Venus Lighthouse Beacon at
last. Saturos is there as well together with that young girl you may have
met before at Babi's Palace the other day. Menardi then says that all that
remains is the Jupiter Lighthouse as lightning Mars is easy, so after that
it should be a cakewalk for them. Felix shows up as well, Menardi however
seems to be upset since she ordered them to go to the ship docked at
Idejima (The ship you found together with Iodem if you went there,
remember). They talk about this girl Sheba, she seems to be the key to
opening the Jupiter Lighthouse as she is a Jupiter adept just like Ivan. It
seems to be that Felix is having an argue with the other two member. He is
traveling along Saturos and Menardi for some time now, yet he isn't trying
to reach the same goal after all. After some talking the game goes back to
Isaac and his group they decide that it is time to attack now, while the
others are busy arguing. BTW: here's my final set-up for this battle:
| Isaac Garet Ivan Mia
------- | --------------- --------------- --------------- ---------------
Weapon | Gaia Blade Wicked Mace Swift Sword Crystal Rod
Armor | Asura's Armor Storm Gear Feathered Robe Oracle's Robe
Shield | Spirit Gloves Mirrored Shield Spirit Armlet War Gloves
Helmet | Warrior's Helm Thunder Crown Lucky Cap Jeweled Crown
Shirt | Mythril Shirt Mythril Shirt Mythril Shirt Silk Shirt
Ring | any Ring Cleric's Ring any Ring any Ring
Boots | Hyper Boots Hyper Boots Hyper Boots Hyper Boots
Of course you may want to change some of them for Running Shirts /
Quick Boots if there are any weak members in your party. Also one of
Those Kikuichimonjis for Ivan would work out nice too.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
WARNING: This is the last point where you can save! If you have any
unfinished business make sure you do it now. Once you start the
battle against the upcoming boss you will not be able to save,
other than an unplayable "Clear Data" file for the Password.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Walk over to the central part of the Aerie and the 8 of them have some
more argue, until Saturos tries to make a deal. He mentions the rod of
Hesperia and Ivan hands over the Shaman's Rod (it was cluttering your
inventory anyway) after a while, hoping to see that Sheba and Felix are
freed. Of course Saturos doesn't let Sheba go, he had only said that he
wouldn't hurt Sheba. He never mentioned releasing her, so they decide that
it is quite enough and thus the battle between the two members of the Fire
Clan and the four Adept begins!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Saturos & Menardi
-----------------------
Saturos
HP: 3000 ATK: 409 AGL: 160 Weak: Water

Special: Death Size, Nova, Flare Wall

Coins: 4200
Item: -
Menardi is the faster and the weaker (in HP) of the two so I recommend
starting to focus your attacks on her. After one of them is gone the other
should be even easier to beat. Remember that they are weak to water so
Boreas is the Summon you need, but with 4 Mercury Djinn on Stand-by Mia
can't use "Wish" anymore, so don't make any hasty decisions. Also Judgment
and the others do fair amounts of damage as well. A very important note
that I would like to make is that after this battle the true battle has yet
to begin, therefore don't use too many Djinn because you'll be needing them
the next battle against the ultimate boss.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the two are defeated Felix doesn't want stop his quest, he seems to
have other reasons to light the beacons. Suddenly Saturos comes back to
life. He may be weakened, but he's still there and so is Menardi. The two
tell Isaac that the Venus Lighthouse's Beacon will restore their powers and
so they throw in the Elemental Star after all. Now that the beacon is lit
you'll have to face the true might of the Northern Fire Clan. The two of
them unite into one being: The Fusion Dragon!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultimate Boss: Fusion Dragon
----------------------------
HP: 5000 ATK: 439 AGL: 190 Weak: Water
PP: 500 DEF: 150 LCK: 50 Strong: Fire
Special: Outer Space, Drain Fang, Dragon Diver, Evil Blessing
Exp: 0
Coins: 0
Item: -
If you managed to beat Deadbeard on Crossbone Isle this battle shouldn't
cause much trouble. If you had a difficult time with the previous battle
this is going to get hard though.
First start by unleashing any Level 4 Summons if you have those; the
elemental power of a character will increase greatly after doing this
making all the attacks that follow a lot stronger. If possible try to not
to unleash too many Mercury Djinn, since "Wish" is one of the key healing
Psynergies. Mia may need to use "Restore" to remove evil spirits as well,
so mainly attack with the other 3 characters. Also don't hesitate to use
Fire Based attacks to which the dragon may be resistant to; those attacks
can still do quite a lot of damage nonetheless.
Of all his attacks Outer Space and Dragon Diver are probably the most
dangerous ones, therefore have Mia use "Wish" or Djinni: Spritz to heal all
members. Granite and Flash are very useful in this battle as well, since
they can divide the damage you receive in that turn by a factor ten.
Don't use the psyphon seal on this enemy as it has no effect (i.e.
Fusion Dragon doesn't use any psynergy spells!).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you finally manage to beat this enemy the epilogue of this game
begins. There isn't much to do, but you have to go through it in order to
create a save game for sending your data to Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Epilogue: What happens next?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Venus Lighthouse (Continued)--
After the last battle you'll see that Saturos and Menardi will take a
suicidal Death plunge into the same hole where they threw the Venus Star.
That is the last the world will see of Saturos and Menardi. However this
doesn't end the game at all. Felix is going to continue where the villains
left off, he's going to light the other two lighthouses. Garet asks Felix
why he insists on lighting the beacons up, but Felix answers that there is
no time to discuss this issue now.
All of a sudden the Venus Lighthouse's Beacon starts to illuminate. As the
beacon starts glowing a great amount of energy is released and it is so
much that it tears the lighthouse apart. The entire group falls
unconsciously on the ground and Felix is in trouble too. Sheba fell off the
edge by the earthquake and can barely hold on to the edge. Felix tries to
rescue her, but is too late and Sheba 'slides' (that's one odd way off
falling) down the edge. Felix won't accept to let it end this way and dives
in after her.
Isaac makes his first sentence in the game, he says: "!!!". I thought he
was a total mute as most RPG / Adventure heroes tend to be (just think of
Link in the Legend of Zelda). The other allies start to awaken again and
the Lighthouse restores itself to its original form. According to Ivan
Felix jumped into the sea after Sheba did so, but according to the world
map there is no sea around (doesn't this seem a bit weird?). They then
remember about Jenna, who was left behind at Idejima. After hours of
searching they give up and go back to Lalivero.
--Lalivero--
Faran and Iodem are inside Faran's home as well, they start having a
conversation with Isaac and the others. It turns out to be that Felix,
Sheba, Jenna and Kraden have disappeared! The continent of Idejima was torn
loose from Gondowan after the Venus Lighthouse lit up. After some more
talking about Sheba and Adepts Isaac and the other want to take of for the
next step in their adventure, but Iodem asks them to wait outside, you can
do so or walk away in which case Iodem comes outside anyway.
Iodem talks about Lemuria again, he gives you the Black Orb and permission
to enter the shack on the north-west part of Lalivero. Garet mentions the
ship at Idejima being Saturos' Ship, but there is no time and no way to
confirm that now. Talk to the guard in front of it and he'll allow you in.
Enter it and walk to the left, go up the pier and use the Black Orb at the
end to enter the Lemurian Boat docked there. After everybody makes their
final farewells to the player, they step aboard the boat and leave. Their
next goal is to find Lemuria and finding Jenna! At least that is what you
would think, that would happen... But we'll find out in GS:TLA. Now the
credits you must endure. After those you are asked to save your data into a
"Clear Data" File, which can be used for the "Golden Sun: The Lost Age"
connection. If you say yes such a file will be created, this also means
that you can no longer use it (other than to do a battle in the battle
arena).
--Idejima--
After the ending titles you will see a final cut-scene featuring Kraden
and Jenna. They are lying on the ground pondering about thing this that
will happen. It appears to be that they are not alone at this moment, Alex
is there too. He guides them to the other side of the island where they
find Felix and Sheba. Alex must have saved them out of the water (quite
possible seeing him as a Mercury Adept). The screen fades out and Golden
Sun has reached its ending, if you want to find out what happens after this
moment you'll have to play sequel to Golden Sun.

Appendix A: Djinn & Classes
===========================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Djinn Descriptions
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Golden Sun there are 28 Djinn you can find throughout the continents.
Most of them are quite easy to find, while others may prove to be more
difficult to locate. Here's a list of all Djinn sorted by element and the
moment you can find them in-game.
There is one remark that has to be made here; the statistic boosts of the
Djinn may differ from the values given here, this is so because higher
classes affect the statistics relatively (e.g. in percentages). Simply put
this means that the upgrades may vary a bit. All the statistic upgrades
were checked using "Base Class" for each character, for more information on
that topic see the following paragraph. The exact Djinn locations can also
be found in the FAQ, just search for the Djinni's name with "Ctrl+F" in
most Windows based Text Editors / Viewers.

2. About the Summons
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 16 Summon in Golden Sun, each representing a spirit for a
certain element. All the Summons of the same level are equal in strength,
but because of the elemental resistances of the monsters you oppose this
may seem different. Many believe Meteor or Judgment is the strongest
Summon, but this purely depends on the enemy you battle against. This game
has many enemies weak to fire, so naturally fire based attacks will work
pretty good.

3. Class & Psynergy Effects
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next to these effects assigning a Djinni to a character may change his/her
class level. In some cases these changes can create huge statistic upgrades
and stronger Psynergy Spells, however in some cases the class may actually
downgrade a character so experiment yourself to find out which classes are
most suitable. Of course the clean sweep with all Djinn assigned to the
characters with the same elemental is a good combination. Actually it seems
to be the only good combination, whereas assigning 1 Djinni of another type
to the list breaks up the entire set-up weakening the character to the
lowest class possible. Later on however when you have more Djinn more
interesting combinations take place. Here's a list of all the Class levels
that each character can reach.
A word about the notation here:
- "x|y" means all number of Djinn between x and y. For example: 3|5
means either 3,4 or 5 Djinn of that kind.
- All percentage were calculated after subtracting the effects of the
Djinn, so the actual percentage may appear even higher than listed
here.
- An "*" after a class name means that 1 extra Djinn of any type, may
be included for this has no effect on the class.

10. Monster Compendium
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the Monster Compendium and it has detailed data about all the
monsters in this game. Most statistics speak for themselves, but some of
tem are a bit harder to understand.
-Elemental properties are abbreviated:
E = Earth F = Fire W = Wind w = Water
-ICC stands for Item Chance Class, there are 9 classes ranging from 1 to 9.
Each class has its own percentage with ICC1 = 100%. The next class (ICC2)
has a drop chance of 50% and this gets halved each time. We get the
following list:
ICC1 = 100.0%
ICC2 = 50.0%
ICC3 = 25.0%
ICC4 = 12.5%
ICC5 ~= 6.3%
ICC6 ~= 3.1%
ICC7 ~= 1.6%
ICC8 ~= 0.8%
ICC9 ~= 0.4%
ICC9 is in this game only used for the Fenrir's Kikuichimonji. Other than
that ICC2 is non-existent in this game. Most drops have a chance of ICC5
and ICC6, but most of those items are just weak and regular items. If you
manage to get a Djinn Kill / "Dark Panther Method" (see below in stuff
section) this class is lowered by 2, meaning that the chance is quadrupled!
-Monsters are sorted in four lists, one for regular enemies, one for the
bosses (and non-regular enemies), one for the Mimics and the last is for
the Djinn. Also all monsters are listed by alphabetical order of their
names.
-(WM) means that the monster is found mainly on the World Map.

===========================================================================
Appendix C: Crossbone Isle
===========================================================================
You can get yourself a ticket to the infamous Crossbone Isle on two
occasions. On the first occasion you may however not be able to traverse
anything farther than B3. This is so because you need the Cloak Psynergy to
make it past B4, but it is nice anyway to collect some of the treasures on
the first routine. Also you probably need to make 2 trips anyway since
there are so many items to be found here and the inventory set-up doesn't
allow you to carry more than 60 items (including the stuff you can't drop).
A. make the Tolbi bound ship dwell of course by selecting the people as
oarsmen/women:
1. Nearly bald brown haired man
2. Bald old gray man
3. Young man in the back of the room
4. Woman with light brown hair and a light green dress
B. Don't fight the Tempest Lizard at the end of Suhalla Desert. If you
let him carry you around you will net you free ride from Suhalla to
Crossbone Isle and back. In any case after reaching this place you'll find
a nice dungeon consisting of 10 layers with the dreaded Deadbeard at the
bottom as boss. There are many interesting items to collect here so let's
go.
--Crossbone Isle--
Hidden Items: 5 (5)
Blue Key (4x) - on B3 use "Catch" to get these
Red Key - on B3 use "Reveal" and "Catch" near the top to get it
Chests: 38 (43)
Outside - 1 Coin, Mint
B1 - 111 Coins, Antidote, Nut, Hard Nut
B2 - 222 Coins, Elixir, Lucky Pepper, Mystery Blade
B3 - 333 Coins, Fairy Ring, Cookie, Smoke Bomb
B4 - 444 Coins, Psy Crystal, Storm Gear, Sleep Bomb
B5 - 555 Coins, Ninja Garb, Lucky Medal, Potion
B6 - 666 Coins, Elixir, Demon Axe, Water of Life
B7 - 777 Coins, Lucky Medal, Psy Crystal, Wicked Mace
B8 - 888 Coins, Potion, Cleric's Ring
B9 - 999 Coins, Water of Life, Sleep Bomb, Muramase
B10 - Demon Mail
Monsters: Mimic (2x)
Djinn: Venus - Bane (B7)
Boss: Deadbeard
From the start go left and use 'Growth' (equip Isaac with Mars Djinni) on
the vegetation against the wall 3x times. The bush next to the third vine
conceals nothing so you can leave that foliage. Use Catch to reach the Nut
on the right tree. From here you can go down the slide from 3 different
places. First take the middle slide and you can collect a chest with 1
Coin. Fall down, climb up the wall again and pick the slide on the right,
move the log and open the chest for Mint. Finally repeat the process again
for the left slide and use Whirlwind to enter the dungeon of Crossbone
Isle.
--Crossbone Isle Cave--
B1

Touch the door to start a battle against 2 Viragos and a Hobgoblin. These
clowns aren't hard, beating them give you a Lucky Medal.
Enter the door and walk around the main room at the end there is a chest
with an Antidote. Next go back to the entrance, jump up the left square
tile, move the pillar to the left and collect the Nut from the red chest.
Next go back through the doorway, enter again (this to reset the pillar),
this time move it to the right and collect 111 coins from the chest by
jumping to the left. Move the pillar north of you to the right and collect
the Hard Nut from the chest here.
Reset the room again and move the same pillar to the right and collect 111
coins from the chest by jumping to the left. Move the pillar north of you
to the left, jump along the tiles until your reach the pillar on the most
upper platform. Use move to pull in towards the middle section of that
platform. Go back and use "Move" on the pillar just below the most upper
one to the right. Jump onto the platform, go left, up and move the pillar
you just placed in the middle to the far right. Jump over this and other
platform and you can reach the exit.
Push the pillar into it place so you don't have to do this all over when
backtracking. Also take note of the Mimic Chest here, if you open it will
fight you.

Open the door to commence a battle against 2 Grislies and a Succubus. Just
like the previous floor these monster are easy, but don't get too
overconfident for the monsters of the lower floors are no pushovers.
Defeating them nets you a potion, afterwards enter the doorway for room #2.
Walk up to the chests with an Elixir, 222 Coins and Lucky Pepper right
away.
Move the upper vertical pole, the two horizontal ones (starting with the
upper one), the lower vertical one to the left and finally the left
horizontal one up that was previously inaccessible. Open the chest and
collect the Mystery Blade from it.
B3

Touch the door for a visit by 2 Fiendish Ghouls and Lich. Beating the
goons gives you a Psy Crystal. Enter the third room and collect the first
blue key by using Catch Psynergy. Move three platforms to the right and
head up, here use Catch on the blue key above you in order to obtain it. Go
to the far right using the lower route and pick up the third key from the
platform two spaces to the right of it.
Go back to the start and take the left route this time, follow the left
wall and from the 'two square sized' platform go right, up, continue right
and pick up the fourth blue key with "Catch" on the platform below. Open
the four blue doors with the keys and step down from the fourth door, use
Reveal to make the concealed red key visible and pick this one up with
"Catch" as well. The chests contain from left to right: 333 Coins, Fairy
Ring, Cookie and a Smoke Bomb. Go a few steps back and jump to left towards
a red door. Use the red key on it and proceed to B4.

Note: People who came here via the Tolbi Bound ship will get stuck in the
next room, since they have yet a few more Psynergies to learn. They can
however fight the Gryphons for the Experience and the money. Use Retreat to
make the returning journey a lot quicker!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Inside door #4 are two Gryphons. These guys are pretty strong so be
careful. Try to focus your attacks on 1 Gryphon so you can eliminate one
right away. Victory on them will give you yet another Potion. Enter the
door, go right use Halt on the two statues, when they are on either side,
the left one defends a chest with a Sleep bomb. Behind the second statue
use "Cloak" Psynergy and walk by the statue in the shadows, to the north
you can find a chest with 444 Coins. Walk past the right statue from the
left side and collect the Storm Gear from the chest. This is one great
armor!
Go back to the entrance, then go left and use cloak whilst making sure
that Isaac's body is entirely in the shadow. Walk past the Pushing Statue
and collect the Psy Crystal near the exit.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Two Stone Soldiers + Harridan + Lizard King appear here, with the
exception of the Lizard King these are just regular enemies from Suhalla so
they shouldn't be too hard to beat. Only the Lizard King may provide any
resistance, but not that much (Beating them gives you a Psy Crystal). Once
inside the room you can instantly collect 555 Coins from the chest at the
top of the screen. Here are directions to get all the items and reach the
exit:
Move the upper left horizontal log down
Move the lowest vertical log left
Move the horizontal log just above the vertical one down
Push the vertical back into position
Push the upper horizontal one back into position
Hit the switch
Collect Ninja Garb from chest
From the previous end setting:
Drain the water
Push the vertical logs to the left
Push the lower horizontal log upwards
Push the upper vertical back into position
Push the horizontal log just to the right of the vertical one down
Push the other vertical log back into position
Push the horizontal log back into position
Hit the switch
Collect the Lucky Medal
From the last setting:
Drain the water
Push the upper horizontal log down
Hit the switch
Collect the Potion
Exit the room
B6
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hit the door for 2 Chimeras to pop up. These guys are getting stronger
than the average enemies so don't rush (their weakness is water and HP =
1350 each). As with most of these longer battles focus on 1 enemy, before
taken on the other and you'll get a potion at the end. After they're
disposed of go inside the next room.
Push the pillar with the chest up in the back of the room and the two
pillars at the start to the left so you can jump over them to the path that
is behind them. Go over the new path and pick the Elixir up from the chest.
To the left you can see Bane; the final Venus Djinni. He gets scared flees
to a safer place, we'll get him soon enough. Go around the room and push
the pillar down, fall down as well, then freeze the puddle so an Icy Pillar
is created. Climb the ladder on the left, jump on the pillars and go up to
collect 666 coins from the chest, go up even further and Bane gets scared
again.
Move the pillar that is next to his former location to the right twice and
climb up and down the ladders to collect the Demon Axe, but don't equip it
yet. You need the Cleric's ring to prevent the curse from taking your
character over. Now move the lower pillar so that you are north of it, when
you get it in its final place (Use Move Psynergy over the small stone to
get this job done). Walk all over the place and collect the chest some
Water of Life.
Go back to the upper right corner and meet up with Bane again. He flees
for the final time to the other side of the room. Follow him and use Halt
to prevent him from escaping again. Touch him and he turns to your side,
now you can use his poisoning abilities (This is very handy in longer
battles). Time to head for the exit of this room.
B7
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Only two enemies here which are both Earth Lizard (HP = 1550 each and
weakness = Wind), they're quite strong so don't underestimate them. Use
your newly acquired Djinni Bane right away and hope that he inflicts
"Deadly Poison"; if he does this battle will be easily finished in 3
rounds. You get some Water of Life for your effort.
The next room is a bit more complicated to explain. The easiest way of
collecting all the chests is used the square block in combination with
Carry to get one item each time. The go back and reset the room, because
you won't be able to get all items in one go.
-A Lucky Medal is hidden in the chest on the right
Be sure to Carry the block on the upper space near the gap
-A Psy Crystal in the upper left corner
Be sure to Carry the block on the right space!
-The chest in the middle has a Wicked Mace (cursed)
Place the block between the smallest part of the left gap
Also near the exit is a chest with 777 Coins. Go outside and push the
pillar in the pit again.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And what behind door number 8? What's gonna' come out? We'll soon find
out! First you have to beat two Thunder Lizards and a Poison Toad. This
battle can be quite hard if you haven't been to the Venus Lighthouse's
upper level yet, but it can be done. The Thunder Lizards are exactly the
same as the ones in the Lighthouse only the Poison Toad (HP = 2250 and
Weakness = Fire) is new, once again unleashing Bane on him is a good idea.
Water of Life is your reward for beating him.
The next puzzle is a real jinx so be careful about the moves you make.
Inside jump over the first puddle, turn around, freeze it and use it to
reach a chest with 888 Coins. Go left, jump over another puddle, move the
small block to the right, jump back over the puddle, freeze it and use that
to reach a chest with a potion. Go back to the dragon statue, slide down
near it and raise the platform with Frost. This also melts the pillar
giving you an extra chance to go the left again. Don't forget to push the
log down before going back to the left again. Jump over the puddle after
pushing the log and freeze it a second time. Climb the stairs, collect a
smoke bomb from the chest on the right if you like, go left, slide down one
of the slides and push the upper log down.
Finally you can collect the Cleric's Ring, be very careful with this ring
because it is the only way to negate the cursed item effects. This one is
very special again since you are going to get this One in BOTH Golden Sun
Games so make sure to transfer this one. Currently the ring goes best to
Garet with a Wicked Mace and Thunder Crown. I prefer the Wicked Mace over
the Demon Axe, because the difference in Attack Power is little and the
Wicked Maces' Unleash causes Venom Status which is soooooo much more
effective.
B9
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The final door challenge; two Cerebuses. As you might suspect these guys
are no pushovers (HP = 2200 each, Weakness = Fire). Mia probably has to do
some healing here, for their attacks are very strong. Use the Wicked Maces'
Unleash and Bane to make this battle a short one; Venom Status does about
450 Damage per turn on them!
Behind them is the last puzzle room, walk over the left log towards the
back then take the vertical log to the right. Take the horizontal log on
the right, go up again, jump over to the other log and move to the right.
Switch over to the lower log and go to the right shore. You can collect 999
Coins by taking the lower log to left. Switch back to the log you just and
go to the left. Use the horizontal log above you and go upwards to another
chest with a sleep bomb inside. Go back, go ashore on the left side and
collect some Water of Life here.
From here you can already reach the exit or solve another puzzle:
-First move all three horizontal logs upward
-Move the lowest vertical log to the left
-Move the center horizontal log down
-Move the center vertical log to the left
-Move the right horizontal log down
-Finally move the upper vertical log to the left
This should allow you to reach the chest with the Muramase. An item that is
not that strong, but you may argue differently. Go outside and push the
final pillar in its place. You can go down another level here, but the
dreaded Deadbeard lurks down there on the haunted Pirate ship. If you feel
like you can take on the world go down there. Deadbeard is absolutely the
strongest adversary you'll encounter in this game.

--Pirate Ship--
After nine layers of beating demons and solving puzzles you reach the
bottom of the pit where a Pirate Ship is located. The first chest you come
across is the last Mimic of the game and it's a bit stronger than the
others.
-----
Mimic

HP: 1206 ATK: 367 AGL: 167 Weak: Fire
PP: 68 DEF: 126 LCK: 18 Strong: Wind

Exp: 1009
Coins: 643
Item: Potion
Once again try to unleash Bane and the Unleash of the Wicked Mace. The
"Venom" Status just helps so much in battles like these. Although this
battle isn't that hard, the Cerebuses were harder IMO.
If you walk up to the front of the ship you automatically have to fight
Deadbeard; THE strongest adversary in this game. You may want to "Retreat"
if you feel weak at this moment. You can always come back later to beat
him. First off try to raise all (or at least some) Party members AGL over
180 (Take note that there has to be some room for Djinn unleashes). This
way you should be able to outrun Deadbeard and get the first turn.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Boss: Deadbeard
-------------------
HP: 6000 ATK: 468 AGL: 180 Weak: Earth
PP: 600 DEF: 178 LCK: 60 Strong: Water
Special: 'Attack 2x', Break, Debilitate, Freeze Prism, Guard,
Impact, Inferno, Spark Plasma, Ward
Exp: 8000
Coins: 9000
Item: Water of Life
To start of with this analysis: Statistically speaking Deadbeard is
stronger than the Fusion Dragon. So if you can beat him you can beat every
monster. As you can see he has top level Attack Psynergies of all elements,
Break (to undo your power ups), Impact + Guard + Ward to protect himself
and he may strike 2x per round.
Of course any enemy can be beaten so start of with Unleashing Bane
(Venom), Luff (Block his Psynergy), Scorch (stun Deadbeard) and such. From
my own experience I can tell that Mia will probably be healing each round,
so don't waste too many Djinn with her for Wish Well / Pure Wish is very
handy in this battle. Get Isaac to use Judgment as soon as possible, since
Deadbeard is weak to Earth. Although I say that you should use Bane I do
have to admit that Deadbeard's extremely high amount of Luck makes him
nearly invulnerable to ailments.
Another possible tactic is interchanging Granite and Flash each round; 1
turn unleash Granite and set Flash, then the next turn you can do the
opposite. This however leaves you with only 2 members to attack, but your
defense will be very strong and Deadbeard will hardly be able to hit you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After beating him you can get a Demon Mail from the chest behind him. This
armor looks strong, but actually lowers your wind resistance. So it isn't
that good all the same, too bad I was expecting something better.
That's it you completed the entire Crossbone Isle Side-Quest. If you link
your game to GS:TLA some people will tell you about the great Isaac who
bested Deadbeard, this doesn't give you any items or rewards, so this is
more a matter of honor.
===========================================================================
Appendix D: The Battle Arena
===========================================================================
The Battle Arena is a special feature in the game that you can play just
for fun. There are no treasures to be won here (actually you can't earn
anything other than a new high score), but this is a nice additional
section that can be good especially if you have some friends to compete
against. The main thing the Battle Arena consists of is the Monster Battle
and the Linked Battle as described below.
In order to do battle you will have to collect your first Djinn (Venus
Djinni: Flint) if you which to participate in the Battle Arena. I guess
don't know the main reason behind this, but that is all that is needed. To
get to the Battle Arena select the "Battle" option from the Main Selection
screen after you start up your GBA. Then you will have to choose one of the
save file. Pick the data file which you want to use; all your Characters,
Djinn and Statistics will be used from that data file. After doing so Isaac
will enter the Arena Waiting Lobby. Check the map below for all the
interesting parts (Looks more like a boat, if you don't see the perspective
of this picture...):

Monster Battle
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talk to the lady (1. on the map) behind the counter and the lady will ask
if you want to battle a monster right away, when you don't have a second
GBA connected to your GBA. If you do have a second GBA attached you will
have to opt for the single player battle if you want to battle a monster.
She'll tell you stand on the central circle (marked with o ) to start the
battle. If you do so you'll enter the arena where you have to fight any
monster that you have defeated in battle. This includes the bosses and so
on, which means that even Fusion Dragon and Deadbeard may pop up if you
have defeated them in that particular save file.
I noticed that you'll only battle the strongest monsters you have
defeated, which usually means many Deadbeards and other bosses if you
bested them. After checking out the statistics of the monsters I found out
that the monster in the Battle Arena are a lot stronger than the ones in
during regular game play. Just take a look at this example:

As you can see in the above table even a weak enemy like an Amaze can
become a fierce opponent if your levels are really high. I am not entirely
sure if only the levels alone determine the strength of your opponent, but
it is certain that they become stronger when you are strong too. Therefore
the monsters in the battle arena are a lot harder to defeat than during
regular game play. Only the Elemental Resistances and Luck remain the same
for each monster.
There are some other differences with the regular battles too. For one
thing you don't receive any item drops, experience and coins from the
enemies you defeat in the battle arena. Secondly, if you party dies this
has no further consequences other than that your consecutive Battle counter
gets a reset. Third thing is that all items you use aren't removed from
your inventory if you play the regular story again. If you manage to beat a
monster and you return to the main lobby you are asked to battle another
random monster or quit. If you quit all your characters' HP and PP gets
restored to the original values.
Linked Battle
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When two GBAs who are both equipped with a Link Cable and they both have a
game pack of Golden Sun(1; no mixes with "the Lost Age" are allowed) of the
same language you can do a Linked battle against your friend (Watch out
when connecting European Versions of the game). An important rule in the
Linked battle is that there can only be three allies in the same group in a
Linked battle. Therefore Mia will fall out by default, if you wish to
change this you need to move the characters in the statistics screen (press
select, select the Statistics option and use L and R to move the characters
from left to right here). Second Rule is that again you can't earn any Exp.
and coins with these battles. Third and most important rule is that after
the other player has inserted all of his commands you only have 15 seconds
to set your characters attacks or else the will become "Defend" by default.
Talk to the receptionist again and if the GBAs are connected properly you
will get an extra option that allows you to challenge your opponent; if
your opponent accepts this challenge you both have to step to the center
circle for the battle to start. I myself didn't have much experience with
the linked battles, but what I did remember from the few battles is that
trying to Summon Rush (using all Summons at the same time) doesn't work
well if you have an opponent that is not incredibly weak. Therefore you'll
need to create good tactics to beat him, since with all the Djinn and
healing/reviving spells it sometimes may take a very long time for the two
of you to complete one battle.
Most tactics you may have used against bosses in the regular game may
prove ineffective, but you may find other weaknesses and exploit these. A
very effective tactic is entering your attacks very quickly; leaving the
other player only 15 seconds to think. This may seem a lot, but many people
usually need more than that to come up with a good strategy so playing fast
may be a possible tactic to win. Of course you need to bear in mind that
playing fast can cause you to make errors all the same.
===========================================================================
Appendix E: Golden Sun: The Lost Age Linkage
===========================================================================
Introduction
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
So what's the deal with this linkage system you may have heard about
already? Well, basically it allows you to transfer your data from GS 1 to
GS2: the Lost Age so you can continue on where you left off in GS. This is
a very nice idea and works fine although if you don't have a link cable & a
second GBA you will have to do some very tedious and error-prone work
first. To make things a little easier there are three levels of passwords
which allows you to choose what you do want to transfer and what doesn't
get transferred.
What gets Transferred
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I said in the introduction you can choose 3 levels of password you wish
to transfer data. They are Bronze, Silver and Gold Medal passwords.
Bronze Silver Gold
------------------- ------------------- -------------------
Character Levels Character Levels Character Levels
Djinn Djinn Djinn
Psynergy Items Psynergy Items Psynergy Items
Quest Data(*) Quest data(*) Quest data(*)
- Character Stats Character Stats
- Coins Coins
- - Items in Inventory
(*) = This data doesn't appear on the list, but it is in the password.
Basically there are six different events that the password memorizes and
sends to the Lost Age. Each event will give you something in Golden Sun:
The Lost age.
1 Event: Talk to the Mayor of Vault after the bandits escape
GS2: The bandits come across again, you also get the Golden Boots
2 Event: Beat the Colosso Event in Tolbi
GS2: the Gladiators return, you also get the Golden Shirt
3 Event: Save Hsu at the Alpine Crossing before Hama does
GS2: You receive the Golden Ring
4 Event: Beat Deadbeard
GS2: Some folks in Alhafra tell you that Deadbeard was defeated.
5 Event: Save Master Hammet from Lunpa Fortress
GS2: You receive a chest with Orihalcon, when your ship gets wings.
6. GS1: Talk to Dora in Vale after she gets ill (after reaching Altin)
Event: Isaac has an extra segment of conversation with his dad about
his ill mother in Prox during the epilogue.
How to transfer data
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually this is described in detail in the Golden Sun: the Lost Age
manual, so you should read that. It is possible however to look at the data
right away using the "Send" option in the Game Selection Menu. In order to
make this appear you need to have at least one "Clear Data" file. If you
have one or more do the following:
Start up your GBA with GS
Press 'start' to get to the main file selection menu
Press and hold left on the D-pad
Press and hold the R shoulder button at the top of your GBA
Press 'B'
A new option should appear on the far right of the selection menu: Send.
Select it and you will have to choose which data file you which to
transfer, you can only select the "Clear Data" files; e.g. the files that
have been saved after finishing the game.
Select one of those files and you get another option: Password or Cable.
If you choose "Password" you can choose which level you want, before the
game shows you the password. You have to write it down or (memorize it) and
enter this in GS:TLA. This password is not that long for Bronze and Silver
Medals, but Gold is lengthy 6 pages * 50 characters per page = 300
Characters. So I recommend you write it down carefully, since you don't
want to receive an error after filling in all those characters in GS:TLA.
The Cable Option will automatically transfer the Golden Password to the
Lost Age using 2 GBAs and 1 GBA Game Link Cable. This is a lot easier than
writing down, but not everybody has 2 GBAs around.
Furthermore Chris Maka found out that using GBA SP with wireless linking
doesn't work. You really need two GBAs with a wired link, in order to
transmit the password over to the other cartridge. Apparently Nintendo
didn't design their hardware to be backwards compatible. If your uplink
doesn't work because of this, then you still have to use the manual
password.
Passwords
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some of the most interesting patches you may want to use. There
are three prefabricated passwords:
-Maximum
-Realistic
-Collector
The first one has everything maxed out to get the strongest characters
available. The second is game file played by me with normal items and
statistics at the end. Finally the third password has about nearly every
single artifact so you can get a complete inventory in the Lost Age.
Take note that all passwords have been verified with the Password
Generator made by Paulygon. I did this to prevent typographical errors in
the password codes (I know how irritating an error can be if you just
entered 260 characters). In other words:
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
ALL PASSWORDS ARE VERIFIED AND ERROR FREE!
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
There is however one thing I do wish to point out. On www.neoseekers.com
some of the characters are misinterpreted into HTML codes (e.g. "&" sign
becomes "&"). I cannot resolve this problem as the error lies at
Neoseeker's servers not mine. Please interpret the aformentioned html code
with the ampersand sign. See this picture for an example:
http://i17.tinypic.com/6g2ergj.jpg
Maximum - a hacked password for THE strongest setup
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This password was generated with the objective of making the game as
simple as possible (from the perspective of the battles). Initially I used
Paulygon's Password Generator to create this password, but I noticed that
it is possible to get ANY item from GS2 transferred to GS2. So, I made up
my own password that features all of these Uber-items. The statistics are
raised to the highest possible levels, but the actual effects may vary due
to Djinn or Class properties. I deliberately put the characters on level 54
so all the Psynergies are available and yet you can train them even
stronger by leveling up.
I also included four of those pretty Ninja Sandals (dummied out...
normally), because they seem to be more effective than Hyper Boots. At
first I tried to include "Orihalcon *30", but that didn't work out properly
and the same goes for the others like Mist Potion and Mythril Silver. You
only get 1 of them once the password is read in GS2. I know the problem
lies in the GS2 cart, because the password itself did store it as
"Orihalcon *30".
The main features of the password are:
999999 Coins
All Djinn
60x each Statistic Increasing Item
All Psynergy Items
All Side-Quest completed
All Characters Level 54
All Statistics maxed out (as far as possible, that is)

to be a god and ruin the game play. To be even more specific it is the game
file I used for the creation of the GS1 walkthrough. The main features of
the password are:
813168 Coins
All Djinn
4x each Statistic Increasing Item (except 5x Hard Nut)
All Psynergy Items
All Side-Quests completed
All rare item drops that can only be found in GS1

This password mainly focuses on getting a complete inventory so you have
ALL artifacts this game provides. There are more than 60 Artifacts not
attainable in GS2, therefore I had to drop some of them. This is so because
the party members can only carry 15 * 4 = 60 Items at most. I chose to drop
the following items/artifacts:
-Frost Jewel Mia & Piers have it already
-Douse Drop Mia & Piers have it already
-Cloak Ball "Cloak" isn't required in GS2
-Halt Gem "Halt" isn't required in GS2
-Hermes Water Just a Potion with a different name
-Empty Bottle Useless in this game
-Cell Key Useless in this game
-Machete I had to drop 1 more item to get all the others in
-Fur Coat It is not enlisted as a Rare Item, but it can only be
found in this game.
If you can find a way to drop even more artifacts (i.e. that can be found
in GS: the Lost Age) it might be possible to transfer these items as well.
Password Features:

Appendix F: Bugs, Glitches and Stuff
===========================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't found any bugs in this game that can seriously block your
progress, so far.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glitches
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I will describe some of the mistakes in the game that may seem odd,
but don't influence game play too much.
Stone soldier can't use his "Mad Blast" Psynergy Attack
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to this moment this is the only enemy script glitch I could find in the
entire game. The Stone Soldier you come across in Suhalla Desert has 6 PP,
but in order to cast Mad Blast (a spell this creature has) he needs 10 PP.
So this means that this creature has to skip a turn, if he tries to use
this Psynergy. I guess the programmers didn't take into account to give him
at least 10 PP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stuff
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rename all main characters
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you get to rename Isaac at the beginning of a New Game press 'Select'
3 times to rename Garet, Ivan and Mia.
When you are renaming Mia press the following button combination:
Up, Down, Up, Down,
Left, Right, Left, Right,
Up, Right, Down, Left and Up.
Now press 'Select' and you can also give Jenna, Felix and Sheba a new name.
Put all your Djinn on Set / Standby in one go
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A little trick that may be very handy before entering a boss battle to
save yourself from doing tedious work is pressing and holding the 'R'
button and then press 'select' to set or free all Djinn with a single
command. Handy if you do not wish handle each one separately.
Warp back to the last Sanctum
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whenever you continue a saved game you can start in the sanctum you last
visited by pressing: Shoulder L, Shoulder R & Start buttons.
The hidden GS2 items and enemies
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After going through the ROM I found out that there are three dummied out
weapons in it that are used in Golden Sun: The Lost Age, these are Sol
Blade, Kunasagi, Masamune and Mysterious Robe. Also something that is less
known is that enemies like Wise Gryphon and Doodle Bug are in the GS ROM,
which are (if you played GS2) enemies from the second game. Although I
haven't been able to fight them their names do appear in the internal list!
Infinite supply of Game Tickets
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you run out of Game Tickets you can sell or buy some equipment, but the
more Game Tickets you obtain the higher the value of your purchase needs to
be in order to get a game ticket. You can however get Game Tickets for
a relatively cheap price by doing the following. Note that this tactic
doesn't work 100% of the time, but it should get you tickets with 2-out-3
chance.
1. Go to any item shop
2. Buy 30 Nuts from the item selling clerc for a Game Ticket
3. Return to the main menu (where you choose between Buy/Sell/Repair)
4. Repeat step 2. & 3. and sell them if your inventory is full.
The crux of this strategy is that you return to the main menu
(Buy/Sell/Repair) before buying any more Nuts. If you don't do this the
trick won't work. KrrA_InAgOtAbLe who found this interesting method made a
video about this on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ynt3X5KK2z4
Crossbone Isle's Location
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is something weird going on with the location of Crossbone Isle. If
you try to access the World Map, while you are on Crossbone Isle you will
receive a message that it is not on the map. So this means it is somewhere
of limits. But as we all know we can reach Crossbone Isle with the Ship
Trip over the Karagol 'Sea' (also see App. B for that) from Kalay to Tolbi.
The Karagol Sea which is technically a huge lake since it is enclosed by
land from all sides, would prevent any ship to pass through bounds of the
lake to a place that is not on the map.
We can come to the conclusion that either Crossbone Isle is hidden
somewhere in the Karagol Sea or the Programmers allowed to pass this small
glitch, so you could enjoy a part of CI a lot earlier.
Statistic Boosting Item List
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not so important that I want to spend an entire section on, but
here is a list of where you can find all the Statistic Boosting Items in
this game. I listed these because they are very rare and also, because this
is the only way to increase your character's stats manually.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Apple (Increase Attack +3)
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
---------
1. Kolima
---------
Check the upper left barrel of the six in the right corner.
----------------
2. Mogall Forest
----------------
Take the right exit after you reach a screen with 2 Tree Trunk next
to each other. On the next field you'll see a lone chest containing
the apple within sight right away.
----------------
3. Gondowan Cave
----------------
From the left entrance keep heading up, until you reach a room with
two chests. The upper chest contains the Apple.
---------------
4. Kalay Tunnel
---------------
After saving Lord Hammet, you can enter the Kalay Tunnel from
within Hammet's Palace. Just follow the path to the exit and you'll
automatically come across the chest in the last part of the cavern.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Cookie (Increase PP +5)
= = = = = = = = = = = =
-------------
1. Altin Peak
-------------
You can use "Lift" Psynergy on the brown sphere rock in the room where
you fought the second Living Statue (Take the middle level entrance inside
the mine).
-----------------
2. Altmiller Cave
-----------------
The second chest you come across in this cave has it (Not counting the
Mimic). It can be found very near to where you meet up with Squall; the
Jupiter Djinni.
-----------------
3. Suhalla Desert
-----------------
Near the part where the path splits up in three smaller paths leading
north (one screen after the Mimic) you'll have to take the left branch.
Beat the Storm Lizard and collect the delicious cookie from the chest.
--------------------
4. Crossbone Isle B3
--------------------
You can reach this part of Crossbone Isle using the Boat trip. In the
third layer of this dungeon you can get it by opening the second right door
with a Blue Key.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Power Bread (Increase HP +5)
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
-------
1. Vale
-------
After Ivan joins, use "Whirlwind" on the bush behind Vale Shop.
------------------
2. Alpine Crossing
------------------
Freeze puddle south of the right entrance to this area and use "Growth"
on the plant to reach the chest.
--------
3. Tolbi
--------
Use Reveal on the Gravestones on the western part of town for a chest
with the item inside.
-----------------
4. Lunpa Fortress
-----------------
The only chest you can find in this fortress. It can be found near the
end, just before the part with where you have to push the big box.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Hard Nut (Increases Defense +3)
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
----------
1. Bilibin
----------
In one of the barrels inside the home next tot the Yellow statue in the
center of town.
-------------------------------------------------------
2. Bilibin Barricade (Only if you save the little tree)
-------------------------------------------------------
It is easy to miss this one, if you don't save the small tree from the
river after you collect the Hermes' Water. Jump in the water from the right
and you can use "Move" on the tree to save the soul, which happens to be a
young girl. She'll give a Hard Nut after the Tree Curse is released. This
can not be done be done anymore after you used the Hermes' Water on Tret.
--------
3. Tolbi
--------
Inside Babi's Palace you can go down stairs several times, until you
reach a room filled with scholars and alchemists. In one of the Jars at the
bottom of the screen you can collect the Nut for free.
----------
4. Suhalla
----------
In this little village jump over the water, while standing next to the
building that is supposed to be a Sanctum. Walk to the far left and collect
it from the chest.
--------------------
5. Crossbone Isle B1
--------------------
Hmmm... It seems to be possible to collect five of these in this game!
In the very first puzzle room of Crossbone Isle you can collect it from the
chest by jumping on the first tile, pushing the pillar to the right, going
past the 111 Coin Chest and pushing the next pillar to the right as well.
After this you can reach it.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Mint (Increases Agility +3)
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
--------
1. Vault
--------
On the main floor of the Inn check the box on the left side of the
screen.
-----------------
2. Lamakan Desert
-----------------
After the big field where you could find the Jupiter Djinni Smog, you can
find a Mint leaf in a chest on the far left side of the screen. In order to
get there go down the stairs and use Reveal on the upper stone circle ring.
---------------
3. Suhalla Gate
---------------
In the only chest around here, fall down the very first slide you can
find here.
---------------------------
4. Crossbone Isle (outside)
---------------------------
This one is easy for the grabbing; Go up the vines 3 times using "Growth"
and fall down the slide on the far right side of the screen, you'll
automatically reach the desired destination.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Lucky Pepper (Increases Luck +2)
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
-------
1. Imil
-------
Check the oven inside the inn.
-----------------
2. Lamakan Desert
-----------------
On the big field (I drew an ASCII picture of it, see Chapter 7.) you'll
have to open the hidden chest in the far north west corner of the screen.
Use Reveal on the rock formation here to make it visible.
----------------------------
3. Road to Babi's Lighthouse
----------------------------
When you exit Lalivero from the north exit you can go to the right, right
away. Use Carry on the grey block and use it to create a path to the lonely
chest containing the Pepper.
--------------------
4. Crossbone Isle B2
--------------------
It seems to be that about every Statistic Boosting Item is present on
CBI. Go to the second level and push the fallen pillars away to collect it
from the third chest you can nab. Easy...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's it for all the statistic boosting items in this game. You'll have
to play Golden Sun: The Lost Age to get other boosters if you really must.
How to find out your enemies' Elemental Weakness
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't know which to which element an enemy is weak you can easily
check it by looking at the end of the line, when you perform an attack.
'Damage here' !!! = Enemy is weak to this element
'Damage here' ! = Enemy is not weak nor strong (normal) to this element
'Damage here' . = Enemy is strong against this element
It can be quite convenient to find out which type of element you need to
use on your opponent. Of course there are more uses for knowing your
opponent's weaknesses and strength see the sections below here for
additional data on those.
Special Djinn Kill Bonuses ("Dark Panther Method" for enlightened people)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many people know this common and nifty trick already, but if you don't
read on. If you can kill an enemy with a Djinn Attack of which the element
is the weakness of that enemy you will see that the enemy will make a
second Growl and changes color several times before it dies. Next to that
you receive 133.3% of the regular Experience and Coins, on top of that the
chance for an Item drop get Quadrupled too (ICC lowers by 2). This method
is handy if you wish to gain more experience or if you want to increase
your chances for one of those Rare Item Drops like the Kikuichimonji.
For example take the Fenrir, which is weak to Fire and has ICC 9 for
dropping a Kikuichimonji:
Regular Kill Djinn Kill (Mars Djinni in this case)
------------------------ ------------------------
Exp. : 402 Exp. : 536
Coins: 212 Coins: 283
Kikuichimonji Drop: 0.4% Kikuichimonji Drop: 1.6%
As you can see the numbers can increase quite a lot if you are fighting a
strong enemy. 1.6% is still not much chance for an Item Drop, but there is
a way to increase this to 100% by exploiting a little programming glitch.
This makes use of so-called RNG methods (see below for some setup that
allow you to get a dropped item guaranteed) that provide information about
these strategies.
Luckily for you these kills only work in your advantage; if you kill an
enemy with a Djinn against which the enemy is strong you still receive
normal Experience and Coins.
There is however one small drawback to this method that may cause this
method to fail sometimes. The elemental power of the attacker must be at
least 41 points higher than the elemental resistance of an enemy. For
example a Tempest Lizard is weak to earth (Earth resistance = 48). So the
attacker must have at least 48 + 38 = 86 Venus Power the moment he/she
unleashes the lethal Venus Djinni, if it is less the Tempest Lizard will
not flash and does not drop more Exp. & Coins then usual.
As a final remark I would like to say that this method for getting more
Rare Items is by some people also referred to as the "Dark Panther Method"
for he was the first person to find out about these properties.
Abusing RNGs (Random Number Generators) for your benefit
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This game (as well as GS:tLA) uses 2 RNGs (random number generators) to
determine everything that should happen with a 'random' chance. Computers
however are actually not suitable to generate true random numbers, because
they behave deterministically (i.e. applying the EXACT same input from the
same starting state always yields the same results). This leads some people
to find strategies that abuse these RNGs so they can force specific
outcomes, which should normally be determined by pure chance.
Golden Sun actually has a pretty simple RNG function that can be abused
very easily to get the specifically required result time after time. The
first RNG is used in battle and determines the whether weapons use their
unleash, attacks cause a status or a monster drops his item. The other RNG
is there to determine randomness of effects in the field. Examples of these
are your chances of success in the Lucky Dice / Slot Machine games at
Tolbi. Below I've listed several exploits that allow you to get certain
things done (100% of the time), which are normally near impossible to
attain in one single attempt.
Field RNG
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Like mentioned in the section above the second RNG determines your chance
of in the chance games at Tolbi.
Lucy Dice - Get 5x Perfect Bonus
--------------------------------
Here is an example of abusing the RNG to get a 5x Perfect Bonus in the
Lucky Dice game in Tolbi. The strategy is created by PPK (Eric Hokenson)
and allows you to get the grand prize of 5x Perfect Bonus by following
these steps:
Step 1 - Save in the lucky dice hut. I prefer saving right in front of the
NPC who gives you the dice.
Step 2 - Soft OR hard reset the game. For those who don't know a soft reset
in holding down A+B+Select+Start and a hard reset is simply
turning off the system then turning it back on.
Step 3 - Load your file and get your dice.
Step 4 - The lucky dice game should start with the perfect bonuses as x3 as
a 2 and the x5 as a 1. Move the hands all the way up till they
won't go any higher then toss them. You should get a "Two Pair!"
of 3,3,2,2.
Step 5 - The perfect bonuses should be x3 a 2 and x5 a 3. Throw the dice
straight that means DON'T move the hands leave the D-Pad alone
just toss. You should now get a "One Pair!" of 3,6,3,5.
Step 6 - The perfect bonuses should now be x3 a 6 and x5 a 4. Move the
hands all the way down this time and toss. You'll get a
"One Pair!" of 4,2,1,4.
Step 7 - Perfect bonuses should be x3 a 4 and x5 a 3. Move the hands all
the way down again and toss the dice. You'll now get a
"Perfect!!!" of 3,3,3,3 which you see is the x5 perfect bonus.

Force Item Drops
----------------
This random number generator can be abused in such a way that you can
always get the required item drop from an enemy. This can be very handy if
you wish to get an item that is extremely rare like the Kikuichimonji from
the Fenrir. It has normal drop rate of 0.4%, and even with a Djinn Kill it
is only a mere 1.6% chance (see above in the stuff section).
You can get the item guaranteed if you manage to kill the required enemy
when the RNG has used exactly 28 numbers. To be honest the number turns out
to be 31 deploying the Djinn and killing the enemy consumes 3 more random
numbers. So to keep things simple I will stick to 28. Furthermore, there
are other magic numbers too, but they won't work on enemies with extremely
rare item drops. The question is how do you know at which number the RNG
is? You can't see it and even if you could you wouldn't know at which
random number it is. The solution to this problem is using the following
method in general:
-Restart your game with a Hard Reset by turning the power switch Off
and On. When you reload your game the battle RNG resets and it will be
on the first number; this is your reference point.
-Enter the battle with the enemy that has your item of choice. This has
to be the very first battle you come across, at least for the strategy
I am going to describe below.
-Use exactly 27 random numbers before killing the specific enemy that
holds the item with a Djinn Kill. The death of the enemy will use
another random number, hence it will be on 28 (your magic number) when
it is downed.
-If the monster had the flashy colored death with a double growl AND the
RNG was on number 28 THEN you will automatically receive the item you
desired.
In case there are any other monsters left in the battle you can finish
them off any way you like, just make sure you complete the battle. The item
is going to appear no matter what in the battle end messages if these first
four steps are completed. This sounds complicated, but it not too hard.
Below I will provide a short list of all the RN eating battle methods. If
you don't want to spend time on creating your own RNG methods just look at
the examples below.
Type of event in battle | RN usage | Example
----------------------------|--------------|-------------------------------
Start of Battle | 1 | -
Enemy's Turn (per action) | 1 | -
Enemy's Death | 1 | -
| |
Attack (w/o Unleash) | 1 | -
Defend | 0 | -
| |
Psynergy: Attack | 2 per target | "Briar" on 3 targets = 6 RN
Psynergy: Heal | 2 per target | "Wish" on 4 allies = 8 RN
Psynergy: Additional | 1 per target | "Resist" on 4 allies = 4 RN
Psynergy: Ailment Status | 1 per target | "Bind" on 1 target = 1 RN
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some initial requirements that have to be met or else the
following strategies will NOT work.
First point: Make sure that the Djinn Kill will cause the double growl and
colored death of the enemy, because if the elemental power of the character
that unleashes the Djinni is too weak the Djinn Kill itself will fail
rendering the entire strategy to be doomed (see Djinn Kill Bonuses for more
information on this topic). Therefore you should stick to the Djinn setup
with Isaac having all Venus Djinn and Mia getting all the Mercury Djinn and
so on for the others. Just make sure the power of their natural elemental
type is as high as possible. The elemental power of the adept who delivers
the final blow with the Djinni needs to have at least 38 more elemental
attack poewr than the enemy's corresponding elemental defense when (s)he
unleashes the Djinni.
Second point: As you can see in the methods below there is one initial
attack in the second turn for most of the strategies. This means that the
Djinn unleashing character has to be slower than the fastest member. This
could give rise to a problem if you need Ivan to unleash his Jupiter Djinn,
because he is by far the fastest member. In order to overcome this give
somebody an Elven Shirt, Running Shirt and/or Running Boots to boost the
agility to a level that he/she can outrun Ivan.
Third point of interest: you have to make sure the statistics of your
characters are not too weak/strong, because prematurely killing on of the
enemies in the group will consume an additional RN and thus screws up the
entire strategy once again. If this happens, just use a weaker version of
the Psynergy that is mentioned (e.g. use "Flare" instead of "Flare Storm").
Now without further ado here are some strategies I came up with for
collecting those pesky ultra rare item drops. There are strategies here for
the following enemy / item combinations:
Dropped Item Linked Enemy
--------------- ---------------
Prophet's Hat <-> Dread Hound
Aura Gloves <-> Magicore
Giant Axe <-> Earth Golem
Unicorn Ring <-> Recluse
Healing Ring <-> Nightmare
Lucky Medal <-> Orc Lord
Feathered Robe <-> Wise Gryphon
Spiked Armor <-> Chimera Mage
Kikuichimonji <-> Fenrir
Blessed Mace <-> Thunder Lizard
Zodiac Wand <-> Grand Golem
Fourth point: you canNOT wear any cursed equipment on any of your
characters. This because cursed items eat up additional RN, causing any of
the strategies to fail. Using the Cleric's ring won't make any difference,
if you are stuck with such an item you must unequip it at a Sanctuary.
Last note: I will leave out the Battle Start, 'Enemy' attacks and 'Enemy'
dies after the first strategy. Also note that the enemy will NEVER attack
the very first turn, when you load a new game. This makes this kind of
strategy even better to use, because your opponents won't do anything the
first turn (but they do use up 1 RN per enemy though).
Prophet's Hat
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dropped by: Dread Hound

Perfect Leveling Up
-------------------
Furthermore the battle RNG can also be forced to yield perfect leveling
up. This term is coined quite some time ago and results in your characters
having the highest stats available. Usually at a level up each person gets
upgraded stats, but the amount by which a statistic increases seems to be
variable per level up. Hence if you wish to get the best possible
statistics you need a special strategy for obtaining the most proficient
level ups. First of all a perfect level up for a character should look
similar to this:
| Isaac Garet Ivan Mia
----- | ----- ----- ----- -----
HP | 8 8 7 8
PP | 3 3 3 3
ATK | 4 4 4 4
DEF | 2 2 2 2
AGL | 4 4 5 4
To get such statistic boosts every time you need to do the following for
each character. These leveling up strategies are very tedious and
cumbersome, but unfortunately not better solution seems to be apparent...
There are different strategies for all four characters:
Isaac
-----
Save in Suhalla Desert's first area, but make sure that the sand isn't
blowing. Hard reset to encounter a Harridan as the first battle on this
screen. First Isaac attacks him with Flint, then Ivan kills him with
Squall.
Garet
-----
Save in Suhalla Desert's first area, but make sure that the sand isn't
blowing. Hard reset to encounter a Harridan as the first battle on this
screen. Ivan attacks with Smog, then Isaac kills him with Flint.
Ivan
-----
Save outside the desert on the world map. Soft reset and encounter a
Kobold paired with a Warrior Bee. Have Isaac kill the Warrior Bee with
Flint, and then have Ivan kill the Kobold with Gust.
Mia
-----
Save in Suhalla Desert's first area, but make sure that the sand isn't
blowing. Hard reset to encounter a Harridan as the first battle on this
screen. Isaac attacks with Flint, and then Ivan kills with Smog.
