Copyright Information --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Introduction and Notes --------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my second walkthrough I have made for Golden Sun. Translations for Towns, Villages, Weapons, Psynergy, and Djinn were amazingly done by Matthew Whitehead (E-mail found in 'Credits'). Picard's name will change when the English version is released! New versions are always submitted to the sites listed at the end of the Walkthrough. The first place that it can be seen on is on my website. Make sure you check it out at: http://www.planetnintendo.com/goldensun If you ever need further help, contact me with your problem. Have fun reading and enjoy the second book to Golden Sun! --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. The Story of Golden Sun 2: The Lost Age --------------------------------------------------------------------- The story of this game is much easier to understand if you have played the first game, Golden Sun! The game takes place after the end of Golden Sun. The Venus Lighthouse was just lit, and the island with Jenna, Kraden, and Alex were on broke off. There are four lighthouses in all, each representing a special element. The elements are Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. If all lighthouses are lit, it will bring chaos to the world. Isaac, the hero of Golden Sun, along with his friends, Garet, Ivan, and Mia, are trying to prevent them from being lit. They have stopped Saturos and Menardi, the enemies of Golden Sun, but couldn't stop the lighting of the Venus Lighthouse. So far, the Mercury and the Venus Lighthouses are lit, and only the Jupiter and Mars Lighthouse remains. After diving for a young girl named Sheba, Felix ends up on the shores of the broken island of Idejema, where Jenna, Felix's sister, Kraden, an Alchemy sage, and Alex, a mysterious Mercury Adept, waits. More information about these characters are found in the 'Adepts' section. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.

The Walkthrough --------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************* 0. P R E L U D E ******************* ========================================= [1]. Begin a New Quest ========================================= You'll be asked to input a password or not. This is used if you have completed the first game, Golden Sun. The password will transfer the data, along with items recieved, and levels gained, only if you completed the game. The names of your characters will also be transferred. Passwords are classed into Gold, Silver, and Bronze categories. Gold trasfers all the data, but is done by a very large password, while Bronze is almost the opposite. If you don't have Golden Sun, answer 'No', and you'll be asked to name Felix, then Isaac. Enter their names, and the story begins. ============================================== [2]. Before the Fight ============================================== ++++++++++++++++ Venus Lighthouse ++++++++++++++++ The game starts with Jenna, Felix and Kraden at the Venus Lighthouse where the electrical barrier was. Felix [Moves] the statue onto the switch to turn it off. He gives his farewell to Jenna, and leaves to meet Saturos and Menardi. After Felix's leave, Jenna and Kraden will talk for an extremely long time about Felix, Isaac, and she worries about them. In the middle of their talk, Alex appears in front of them, and speaks to them about Felix, and what they have to do next. After talking, Jenna will automatically leave, and the electrical barriers appear right after your disappearance. You'll now finally have control over Jenna. Go through the door and continue the path and go through a doorway. Go through another doorway, then go south to exit. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Venus Lighthouse Entrance +++++++++++++++++++++++++ You're outside the Venus Lighthouse. Go south, until suddenly a group of people and a group of guards shows up. They want Sheba back. They'll have another long talk, then Alex will come out and talk to them. They won't let you through, so he goes up to one of the guards, and throws him up in the air using a burst of water from the ground. He goes up to another guard, and does the same. When there are two guards left, the group of other people flee. Then Alex stares the two guards down until they disappear from the screen, but he also leaves temporarily. Now, go west from where you are, at the end of the path, a man blocks your way, and you'll have to go into battle with him. Your first battle is easy, use your first attack. It looks a lot like Dragon Cloud from Golden Sun, except a lot more graphical. Once the battle is over, exit. ++++++++++++ Suhalla Gate ++++++++++++ Suhalla Gate. To the north, another guard shows up. One Dragon Cloud can finish the job. After, run through the path of stairs. Go up or down on any vines you find. Explore everywhere, then soon enough you'll find a doorway. When you attempt to go in, three guards show up. Use the same battle techniques, use Dragon Cloud each turn to take them out one-by-one. Once that's finished, enter the cave, and continue down. Go through the path, until you find a Psynergy stone. When you get close to it, an insect monster will ambush you. Attack it with your fire Psynergy to beat it. Continue through the path. You will eventually exit and appear on Idejema. +++++++ Idejema +++++++ Here you are, on the island that was shown before the end of Golden Sun. Kraden suddenly spots the ship that's docked here. He jumps in to check what's inside, then comes back out. It was Saturos'ss ship, and Jenna and Kraden are suppose to be there waiting. Alex appears once again, to state that he had handled the guards. Suddenly, an earthquake occurs, and everybody looks at the Venus Lighthouse's way. It has been lit, it looks like Isaac's battle with Saturos, Menardi, and the Fusion Dragon has ended! The island of Idejema is broken apart, and slowly drifts away. This is a familiar scene to those Golden Sun players who have conquered the game. Jenna and Kraden are found lying on the ground, and they talk. They talk about Isaac, and Felix, and are wondering where they are. Suddenly, Alex shows up and tells them that there is something they need to see. The two follow him, and on the shores, they suddenly find Felix and Sheba alive but unconsious. This is the ending of Golden Sun, but now in Golden Sun: The Lost Age, it finally continues. ============================================== [3]. Lost in the Sea ============================================== +++++++ Idejema +++++++ The group wonders if Felix and Sheba will ever wake up. And to their words, Sheba's eyes open. She wonders, and stands up. Now she wonders if Felix will wake up, and to her words, he does. Now that the unconsious are up, the group wonders what to do, since they're on a floating island, and they don't know where it'll go to. A sound of crashing water is heard, and Felix looks. A tsunami is coming their way! It comes and storms down on them in a white flash. When the screen comes back to color, everybody is lying on the ground. It looks like Idejema has bumped into another continent. Felix wakes up first, and asks you a question. Now, you control Felix, go to Jenna and check if she's okay. She'll be happy to see you. When she joins your party, wake up Kraden. Lastly, go to Sheba. They all join your party, but are we missing somebody? Where's Alex? He has disappeared! It looks like the ship has, too. It's almost as if Alex had conjured up the tsunami just to disappear.. The group decides to look on the continent they're on, and look for Alex in the process. After a series of questions, leave the island of Idejema, and enter the Overworld for the first time! ************************************ A. I N D R A C O N T I N E N T ************************************ ========================================= [4]. Idejema To and Through Delhi ========================================= +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ --------------------- Find a Nearby Village --------------------- Once you're on the World Map, head south. You'll immediately bump into a friendly, peaceful village called Delhi. +++++ Delhi +++++ Explore everywhere, buy items, weapons, and armor for your party. There's nothing to do here for now, but you'll have to come back when you recruited your fourth member. Once you're done visiting, it's time to meet your first Djinni. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ ------------------------------ Obtain Your First Venus Djinni ------------------------------ Once you leave town, you'll find a sparkling red dot flying around (doesn't it look familiar, GS players?). It will stop and notice you. It'll come closer, then appear as its visible form. This is a Venus Djinni, it'll ask you a question, then it'll become your ally. Once you learn more about the Djinn, you'll be wanting to use them all the time. Duo has become your ally! It can be very helpful. ------------------------- Get to the Kandora Temple ------------------------- Now that you're on the World Map again, go southwest, then northeast to reach a Temple filled with meditating monks. ============================================== 5. Learn the "Release" Psynergy ============================================== ++++++++++++++ Kandora Temple ++++++++++++++ At the entrance of the Kandora Temple, the guards will not let you through no matter what you pull. To get in, head for the east, then go north. Use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' Psynergy to blow the ivy away, and go through the cave. At the end, climb the rope, and you'll appear outside of the temple, but inside where the guards cannot see you. You'll find three monks meditating, but inside you'll also find another three. In this automatic sequence, the 'teacher' of the monks appear at the top of the room, and asks how well the three monks inside the temple are doing. Each of them could levitate, but not too well. Once the leader disappears, you have to solve the maze to earn an important new Psynergy, and a new Djinni, too. ----------------- Solve the Puzzles ----------------- You will find yourself in a room full of pillars. The first thing you want to is going down and left. You will meet a fallen man, but he will only speak to you. This little maze can make your eyes boggle, but you can see right into it. For percise directions, from the red stone near the man, go right to the next red stone. Then go directly up, then left, and north two steps. There is another opening in the right side you can go to. Then you can go up again, and reach an open area where you can climb a ladder. Do so, then go down past 2 rocks, and when you reach the end, jump on the pillars. Jump 2x to the east, 1x to the south, 1x to the east, 1x to the north, 1x to the east, 1x to the north, 2x to the west, 1x to the north, 1x to the east, then finally 1x to the north. Go through the doorway. Through the cave, you'll eventually reach two paths. Take the left one, since the right path leads to a dead end. At the end of this path, is another doorway. Here, you'll see rushing water. Climb down the ladder, and run all the way down. There will be an opening of water that you can run across. Accomplish this by holding 'B' and running north-east. There will be two ways you can go, you want to go north other than just right across. Continue running up the river, and when you reach the top, finally go right and down the dry path. This will take you to another cave door. This next puzzle room contains a pillar and two gysers. Push the pillar on top of the left gyser if you want to get a valuable Psynergy card, which changes your class and lets you learn new and strange Psynergy. Once the pillar is on, run to the right gyser, and stay on it until the gyser brings you up. Once at the top, you can jump down and recieve the card. Jump back down on the gyser, and move the pillar from the left to the right gyser. Stay on the left gyser, and it will bring you up to the next puzzle. Climb up the ladder and walk on the tightrope. No balance is needed, but there is an obsticle on the second one you should watch out for. To avoid this, there is a pathway through the pillars that leads to a doorway and a pillar. The doorway leads to a deadend, so go to the pillar, and use Felix's 'Move' Psynergy. Move it right, then jump across, and continue moving it until it blocks the water flowing down. Now you can safely walk across without any water pushing you down and to the lower level. Do not take the ladder when you arrive at the end. Go to the right and run down. When you reach a deadend, jump left, go down, jump right, go down, and jump left again to get by the rocks. Jump across one more time and down the ladder. Exit by running down. Here, you'll spot a Mercury Djinni and a rope. Don't worry about that yet, you will soon learn the Psynergy that is required to reach it. Run by, up the ladder, and through the doorway. Then to the doorway to the right of it. Run around, and you'll reach a ladder. Climb the ladder, and you'll find a sign. The sign will tell you to move the boiling pot without touching it. If you do move it by touching it, you'll get burned! But you won't lose HP. Use Felix's 'Move', and move the boiling pot either left or right. Jump over the spot of lava, and at the end, you'll reach your first boss. Three blue apes. They look a lot like the apes in Golden Sun, but they are a little bit different. In this battle, the larger Ape has a lot more HP than the smaller ones beside it. Use your party's Psynergy to attack and inflict a large amount of damage. When using Psynergy that attacks all three, make sure you have the larger arrow on the middle ape. If your HP is running low, use Felix's Cure, or any Herbs that are equipped on your party members if you haven't already. Don't forget about the Earth Djinni Duo. You can unleash its power upon the middle ape, or if you have done that already, unleash Venus upon all three. After a few turns, you will be able to do it again. These apes are resistant to Sheba's Jupiter Psynergy, but are weak against Jenna's Mars Psynergy. For her, use the last Psynergy she has. One thing you should note, is that these apes know how to use items! They will use Herbs on each other whenever HP becomes low. Contiue these tactics, and the apes will be defeated. After your battle, a ladder will mysteriously appear. Climb it, and run through the purple corridor. Once at the end, and to a new room, you will find the same leader you saw when you first entered this temple. In this room, you will also see a rope. He has seen your powers, and has decided to pass along the Psynergy he has learned. He demonstrates the power to you, by going to the rope, and extending it to the nail. Follow him and climb the rope, and examine the rock. Equip this rock to any party member, and 'Release' will be available to you. Now, you can go back and recieve the Mercury Djinni that you saw before. Redo the whole temple until you reach it. Use the new Psynergy 'Release' on the rope, and climb up. Watch out! This Djinni will attack you. You have to defeat it in a battle before it joins you. Use the same tactics as you did while fighting the three apes, and it will fall soon eough. Once it joins you, you can quickly exit by using Felix's Retreat Psynergy. Fog, the Mercury Djinni works best on a Mercury Adept, but you won't have one for quite a while. Continue on! ============================================== [6]. Visiting the Sea God's Shrine ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ Return to Delhi, and go east. You'll discover a cave connected to a tower This is the Sea God's Shrine. ++++++++++++++++ Sea God's Shrine ++++++++++++++++ ----------------- Save the Two Boys ----------------- When you go inside, you will discover a two boys, one of them is stuck at a higher level across a river, while the other is trying to get him down. There is also a rope and a nail, and that is where 'Release' would come in handy. The one boy leaves to find some help. Use 'Release', and the one boy will climb down. The other boy returns and finds that he is safe. They will both thank you and leave. ------------------------ Chase the Jupiter Djinni ------------------------ Now, climb the rope and get to the doorway. In this next room, there are wooden bridges that connect from one cliff to the other. Walk through the first two bridges, but don't go through the doorway that is at the end. Go south, and you'll spot the Jupiter Djinni. Unfortunately, the bridge that leads to it is a bit broken, and will collapse if you attempt to walk on it. Walk on it to fall, then climb the ladder to reach it. This Jupiter Djinni is just as stubborn as Cannon, the Mars Djinni that you encountered in the Dekan Plateau. Before you climb the ladder, the Djinni will spot you and flee, but only across a bridge. Get across and it will fly away. Chase after it, and go through the doorway at the end. Here, you'll immediately spot a few Djinni footprints. Follow the directions that the footprints are going to. The footprints will end at water, and here there will be three staircases you can take. Out of the three, take either the top left or top right. Walking on a bridge will cause the Jupiter Djinni to flee at the lower level. Go back to the three staircases, and take the bottom ones. Climb down the ladder, and run through the path that the Djinni took to find it again. It will then flee once more on a purple ledge. Don't attempt to chase it now, because it will run away whenever you get close. Move the pillar with the torch up so it fits right into the wall. Now attempt to chase it, but it cannot run anymore because of the fire. You've finally trapped it, but it will attack you! When you first battle it, it might attack you the first thing. Defeat it quickly before it runs away. It is weak against Earth, so use Felix's Spire (if you have it), or unleash Duo or Venus. It has about 175-196 HP. If it runs away, leave the room and just come back. It will then most likely stay for a few more turns. Once it is defeated, it joins your party. This Djinni is called Rescue. Its powers will heal some of a party member's HP. It will give you 43 EXP and 89 coins once defeated. You can set it on Sheba, it will work best on her. Now you have one Djinni of each element. Decide which character recieves the Mercury Djinni Fog, until you get your fourth member. Your job is done here for now, but you'll have to come back later in the game. To exit quickly, use Felix's 'Retreat' Psynergy. ============================================== [7]. Through the Dekan Plateau ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ Go south of Delhi, then take the east route. Continue the light-colored paths, and at the end you will find some sort of a mountain. It is the 'gate' to get to the other side of the mountains. +++++++++++++ Dekan Plateau +++++++++++++ Through a few stairs, you'll come across a whole bunch of cracks on the floor and an unreachable treasure chest. The lighter colored cracks allows you to step over only once, then they become a bit darker. If you walk on the darker cracks, it will drop you down to the lower level. You wouldn't want to fall down, but in this case, there is no other way. Drop down to the lower level. In this cave, there will be two doorways to go through. To get to the treasure chest that you saw earlier, go to the bottom door. In the treasure chest is an armor you can equip on a party member. This will either raise any character's defense by 13 or 14, so choose a character that currently has low defense. Once that is finished, go through the top doorway. Now you're at the other side of the cracks. Get to a new screen by heading right. In this screen, you can either get the treasure chest, or continue on. These grey pillars are just like the cracks you met with earlier. The uncracked pillars allows you to jump on them once without falling. After jumping, cracks will appear. If you jump on it again while cracked, it will collapse and you will fall with it. The ones you are seeing are uncracked, so you can only jump on them one time. Jumping on the top pillar leads to a treasure chest, which contains an Elixer. Once it is recieved, jump back, and let it fall. You can climb the vine to get back. Now jump across on the first pillar, then across on the second pillar. At the north is an oddly shaped pillar that looks like a large nail dug to the ground. This can be knocked down after acquiring a new Psynergy. You will learn that in this gate. For now, head south, run through the path, and you'll find a pillar that is unreachable unless you get to the other side. Don't worry about that one yet, head north of that pillar, and you'll come across another path full of cracks. Between two rocks is one crack. Walk across, then to the right crack that is a lighter color. Then go up a little bit, and jump to the right above the hole. Continue going up a bit, and walk across the last crack. Then you're through! You can then head north to a new screen. Another pillar puzzle, but much larger. There is also a treasure chest you can find here. To get it, jump on the first pillar that is available to you, then the pillar in the west (not the south one), then on the pillar that is to the right. Once you jump on it, jump back, and jump again to make it collapse. Climb the vine to recieve a new weapon for Felix. If you're at level 8, most likely your attack will jump from 55 to 79. This may be different in other games. This axe is no ordinary weapon, it is an artifact that unleashes a power in battle. The time it is unleashed cannot be determined, because it is based on the Luck your character has. It unleashes a lot more common than a Critical Hit, and that is depended upon your 'Luck' status. These unleashes can be useful, they are very powerful and it doesn't require any Psynergy use. This weapon, in this case, unleashes a a kind of rock shower upon the enemy. Artifacts can be sold in shops for a ton of money, and they can be bought back again, but for a higher price. Once the axe is recieved, go up the stairs, and exit. Come back to restart the puzzle all over again. This time, with fresh new pillars, jump to the only one available to you again, then jump on the south pillar. Keep jumping across to get to the other side. Head north, until you reach a deadend, and jump on the pillar, then to the one beside it, go up a bit, then jump to the left pillar to reach the other side of the rock that was blocking your way. Run all the way around to get to the new screen. You'll find another 'cracked-floors' puzzle, only that this time there are no dark cracks. You can even run across all of them once without falling. Get through, and you'll discover a Mars Djinni on the other side of the wall. You'll get to it later. You'll also find out that you've reached a deadend. Go back to the cracks and fall through. Go through the doorway, run through the path, to reach another doorway. Now you're outside again, but this time you're on the side where the Mars Djinni was. You'd think it would be as easy as the first two you already have, but this one runs away as soon as you get to it. It will go across a light-colored crack, and jump down through a hole. You can't get through unless you fall, so fall down the crack that the Mars Djinni left. Use the doorway to exit the cave, and you'll spot the Djinni again, at a higher level than you are. Head down, climb up the vine, and run to where the Djinni is. When you get to the Djinni, it will run away, again. It will scurry to the right to the next screen. Follow it. Now it's on a bridge. It will jump over the whole and run away as soon as you get close to it. Don't follow it this time. Instead, go down the vines, and across on the two tightropes. Since you have 'Release', you can get the treasure chest here. Move the first pillar two times to the right, and climb up the vines that cover it. Use 'Release' on the ropes, and climb up to the chest. Up here, you'll spot the Mars Djinni again. In the chest is a Nut, which recovers 200HP anytime. Climb back down through the ropes and down the vine. Move the second pillar two times and climb down. Run through the twisted path and climb the vine. Before you climb it, the Mars Djinni will see you, and use a strange new Psynergy on the oddly-shaped pillar. A big fist appears and pounds the pillar down. The Djinni runs through and to a new screen. The Mars Djinni can be spotted; again. This stubborn one runs away again once you get close. It will jump on the pillar, forming a bunch of cracks, scurry to the next pillar and does the same. It goes on top of a crack, and falls through. Now it has left you pillars that cannot support you. Climb down the vines, and move the other pillar to the right two times. Climb it, and run to the right. Here are two fresh new pillars that hasn't been jumped on. Jump on the first one, and jump back and forth until it collapses. Now go north, and around, until you reach a pillar with vines. Use Felix's 'Move' and move the pillar to the left. Then move it again. Climb it, and jump on the second pillar until it collapses, too. Go up and climb the vines. Push this next pillar all the way down to the lower level. Run all the way around and meet with that pillar you just dropped. Use Felix's 'Move' and move it to the left. Now, run all the way back to where you just pushed that pillar down. Jump across, and through the doorway. In the cave, run through and get to the next doorway. This next room is filled with numerous cracks, and the Mars Djinni. If you get close to it, it will use its strange Psynergy to knock you down to the next level. You want to go to the light-colored crack that is one step north-west of the very first light-colored crack. Then go up two steps on the crack, three steps right, two steps down, and straight to the right. Go through the doorway here. Then go to the next doorway. Don't mind that pillar. You're outside again, going up leads to the three holes that the Djinni fell into. Go to the most eastern hole and fall. Look who you have fallen on. It's the Djinni! After you hit it, an orange box-like gem pops out, the Mars Djinni will get mad at you, and escape using the doorway. Grab the gem, and equip it onto one of your characters. Now you've learned a new Psynergy, 'Press'! Now go throgh the doorway, and through another one. The Djinni is here, with two different kinds of pillars. Don't even try to go close to it, it will then become impossible to reach. Go directly south, down the vines, and use the Psynergy, 'Press' to pound the odd pillar down. This will trap the Djinni, and it won't be able to run away again. Be careful with this Djinni, it will attack you, too. Unleash everything you've got, the Mercury Djinni that you have will come in handy while fighting it. It has about 156 - 231 HP. Once it is defeated, it'll give you 58 EXP points, 93 Coins, and will join your party. A perfect ally for Jenna! Cannon is finally yours now. That was long! Now you have the Djinni, make sure you set it to Jenna. Now, climb down the vine, run across, and climb up the vine. Use the doorway to exit. Run along through the next two doorways. Once outside, head down through many staircases. When you see a pillar, make sure you go to it. Push it into the hole, so you'll have a shortcut to get through. Keep going down the stairs, and you'll eventually find the exit. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ Finally out, you can spot a strange ship on the beach nearby. That ship is the ship that was on Idejema! You can't do anything for now, unless you want to explore how massive and beautiful this ship is, but just remember where it is so you can come back. ------------------ Get a Combo Tablet ------------------ What is a Combo Tablet? It allows you to combine two or more Djinni of different elements and summon a large monster to attack enemies. There is one nearby, so from your ship, go left, and you'll see a cave. Inside, use Felix's 'Move' to move the pillar one step to the right. Now use 'Release' on the rope, and climb up. Jump across using the pillar you just moved, and get to the tablet. This one allows you to summon a monster using a Venus Djinni and a Mars Djinni. You've got those now, so you can summon the monster anytime (as long as the Djinni are in Standby)! Exit the cave and continue on. -------------------------- Find Your Next Destination -------------------------- There is only one town to visit right now, the town of Madora. There is a wavy river that stretches far, and it might block your way to get there. Find two bridge and get through, Madora is almost directly south of you where you found your ship. You're going to find your fourth member here, except he won't join your party for a long while yet. ============================================== [8]. Someone in Prison ============================================== ++++++ Madora ++++++ Once you get to the entrance of this very peaceful and colorful place, two men appear and speak with you. Kraden will appear, also, and speak with them. Eventually after a lot of talk, both of them will step back and let you through. -------- Shopping -------- Go in, buy weapons, armors, and items for each of your party members. Hopefully, you have gained lots of money in battles against monsters and bosses. If you don't have enough for something, you can always come back, or wait until the next town. The next town sometimes has better weapons and armor. Make sure you buy Herbs and Nuts, they will be extra helpful and would save a ton of Psynergy. When buying weapons and armor, if one of them raises a character's stats, don't buy it yet! There may one one beside it that is even better. Doing a little math, you can save coins and buy the best thing. The more costly weapons and armors are usually better that cheap ones. Make sure you remember to get circlets for the girls and armguards for the boys in during your journey! -------------- Visit the Jail -------------- The jail is the small grey building that is found in the southwest of the Mandora. Once you're inside, you'll get into an automatic sequence. It seems like somebody is locked in jail, and is being spoken to by some of the townsmen. He has blue hair and his name is Picard. He just happens to be your fourth member of your party, but you can't get him yet. Picard is locked up in jail because the villagers have him confused with a pirate from the village of Champ, which is located on the Angara Continent. If you can bring the village elder, Picard will be free. He'll get angry, then he'll use his 'Frost' Psynergy on the puddle underneath the closest man. Kraden notices his Psynergy right away. The puddle becomes a frozen pillar, and the man is stuck on top of it. He'll jump off and run away with the rest of the men. Picard will face the wall, and will only say a few words to you, saying that his Black Orb is missing. The Black Orb is found in the mayor's house, and when you try to get it, a lady will stop you. There's nothing more to do in this jail for Picard, so exit. --------------------- Go to the Underground --------------------- There are actually two entrances to get inside. One is through the ladder that the little girl is staring down, or from near the cemetary that is near the entrance to Madora. You can learn a new Psynergy here, so go through the cemetary entrance. Go to the beginning of the town, and go directly east to find a girl and a cemetary. From the cemetary, go north to find a ladder. Now you're through... ============================================== [9]. In the Underground ============================================== +++++++++++++++++++++ Underground of Madora +++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------- Earn the 'Slide' Psynergy ------------------------- Climb down the ladder and get to the new screen. There are now two doors you can take, you can talk to the man if you go south, or you can continue on by going north. Once you're done talking to the man, go north, then climb down the ladder. In the new screen, climb up the vine and use Felix's 'Move' to bring down the pillar. Walk across, and go down the vine that is at the end. The doorway that you see, is the one you should go to. Inside, jump to the right, then go down the staircase and into the door. You'll find a treasure chest that contains a gem that you can equip to learn the Psynergy 'Slide'. This Psynergy won't do you any good for a long while yet. Your job here is done for now, you'll have to come back later, but it's time to exit. ++++++ Madora ++++++ Make sure you go to an Inn before you leave to restore your HP and PP from battles. Remember where this village is -- you'll have to come back later. ============================================== [9]. To the Next Continent ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ From Madora, go northeast to find a bridge, that leads you closer and closer to the Oceania Continent. ++++++++++++ Indra Bridge ++++++++++++ Two men are found guarding on the bridge. They will let you through, so run by until you exit. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ From the bridge, go east to get to a continental crossing, getting by here will let you get to a new continent. ++++++++++++++++++++ Continental Crossing ++++++++++++++++++++ A shattered boat lies here, with many people here, too. To get a great weapon for either Felix or Jenna, go north, and climb down the rope, onto the ship. Then jump up, then to the right. Use 'Release' on the rope to extend it, and climb it. You'll find the treasure chest that contains it. If Felix still has the weapon that you got in the Dekan Plateau, equip this one on Jenna. This weapon is also an artifact, and will unleash a tsunami attack. Get back to the entrance, and climb up the vine. The vine leading down will lead to nothing. Jump across on the rock, climb down the vine, and go right to exit. **************************************** A. O C E A N I A C O N T I N E N T **************************************** ============================================== [10]. Navigating Through the Yampi Desert ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ ----------------------- Get to the Yampi Desert ----------------------- On the Overworld, go southeast, in between mountains. Then go east to enter Yampi Desert, your next destination. ++++++++++++ Yampi Desert ++++++++++++ In this desert, there are pillars similar to the ones you encountered while in the Dekan Plateau. Nagivate to the south, east, the north, past the unreachable treasure chest, then east. In the new screen, you'll find the Madora's village elder and his company, that cannot get to the higher level of the ledge to get to Alafura. You will have to help them by navigating through yourself and finding a way. Coninue south, then east to get to a new screen. ---------------------- Get the Jupiter Djinni ---------------------- You can find yourself a Jupiter Djinni here, but it'll take a completed puzzle to reach it. First, use the Psynergy 'Press' on the first pillar. This is the left one. Once you have done that, go right, avoid the two pillars that are beside each other, and use 'Press' on the next pillar after the two you passed. Go north, then a little to the left, and use 'Press' on this pillar. You can climb up to the next level once you have done that. Climb it, go left, jump across on the pillar, go south, jump across to the right on the next pillar, avoid the slope, go south, jump across on the two pillars, then finally jump to the right on the last pillar to reach the Jupiter Djinni. Be careful, this one attacks you. This Djinni has about 166 - 224 HP. Be ready to heal if needed, and make sure you use Venus against Jupiter. It will fall easily. A new ally for Sheba, Blitz can shock enemies. Now with two Jupiter Djinni, you can summon the heavenly hunteress, Atlanta. There is also a treasure chest here. Slide down a slope, and use 'Press' on any of the pillars since they are no longer needed. Get through, and you will eventually reach it if you keep going northwest. You should've been able to spot it while jumping to the Jupiter Djinni. Inside is an Antidote. Now you can continue on to learn 'Scoop'. Go back to the part where you used 'Press' on the pillar that allowed you to climb to a higher level. From here, go southeast to find a slope you can use. Slide down, then go east to get to a new screen. There is a Psynergy stone here so you can replenish your Psynergy Points. Out of the three pillars, use 'Press' on the middle one. Climb up, and head north. ---------------- Hit the Scorpion ---------------- In the next screen, when you go a little bit north, you'll spot something moving underneath the sand. Your objective here is to time your 'Press' on a pillar so it hits the moving object at the same time. An easy way to accomplish this is to set 'Press' on either the buttons L or R to use it quickly. To do this, go to the menu, then to your Psynergy, go to your character that has the technique, press either L or R, then select 'Press'. Now whenever you press that button, you will immediately use it. Go to the left side of the pillar. Press the button that you set for 'Press' when the moving object lines up with the green bush that is right across from you. The Scorpion moves in a clockwise motion, shown as dotted lines. 'P' stands for 'Pillar'. Press the button that triggers 'Press' when the scorpion reaches the number 1. ..................... . . . . P Bush 1 . . . . ..................... This would cause it to be hit by the pillar as it is moving down when you used 'Press' on it. Once it gets hit, it will reveal itself as a red scorpion, and moves on to the next screen. Follow it to the east. In the next puzzle, hitting the scorpion becomes much more harder. Instead of moving in a square, it alternates its route. It might not start at where I have the number 1 at, but that is its pattern. The scorpion moves in the ascending order of the numbers that I have listed below: 1............2 . . 5.............6 . . . . . . . . . 4...P............3 . . 8.........7 When the scorpion gets to number 2, press the button that triggers 'Press' to successfully hit it. It will flee to the north. This next one is the last one before you have to fight your second boss. 4............5 . . 8...P.........1 . . . . . . . . . 7.............P..6 . . 3.........2 From the pillar that is right beisde number 6, press the button that triggers 'Press' when the scorpion appears a little bit before number 5. When you hit it, it will go to the circle of rocks and stay. Before you go up to it, heal your party members. Once you meet it, it will reveal itself once more, use 'Scoop' on the sand beneath you, and make you fall to the bottom level. It jumps after you and attacks. You will then have to go fight it. It has about 1024 - 1071 HP, and is weak against fire. Unleash a fury of Djinni and summons, they will do lots of damage. Sheba attacks first, and Felix attacks last, yet he has curative Psynergy, and the scorpion attacks before Felix makes a move. If Sheba is hurt, let her use her own Herb if she has them, and let Felix heal himself. Just make sure that none of your party members fall, you won't be able to revive them until you reach a sanctum that is found in villages and in towns. The battle shouldn't take you long, keep slashing it with your Djinni and it should be finished quick. After your fight, it will give you 440 EXP, 228 coins, and Douse Bubbles. It will also give you a green gem that you can equip to learn the Psynergy, 'Scoop'. Your job here isn't quite over, yet, you still have to help the group of people get through this desert. Take one step back from the middle where you first dropped, and use your newly recieved Psynergy, 'Scoop'. It will cause a gyser to rise. When it goes down, step on top, and it will take you back to the higher level. ---------------------------------- Help the Village Elder and Company ---------------------------------- Now that you have 'Scoop', exit the puzzles. To get off of the ledge, go east and down a slope. Exit that screen, too. Go left, the use 'Press' on the pillar. Climb up, and keep going left until you are out of the screen. Now go southwest to find four rocks. Use 'Scoop' on the middle to reveal a hidden ladder. Go down, through the cave, and climb the ladder at the end. Once you're out, you'll find yourself very close to the village elder. Climb up twice, run across, and climb down, where everyone can see you. They'll thank you, and go through the way you went to get up there. They all disappear. Now that's finished, you now have to get past the desert. Continue north. ----------------------------- Puzzles Throughout the Desert ----------------------------- You'll find the same rounded parts of sand as you did before. The first two will bring you nothing, but the most southeastern one contains 315 coins. Enter through the doorway, and you'll encounter a new puzzle. The rushing sand will take you to whichever direction it is flowing. You can't go backwards, so you'll have to get carried away until the sand takes you to that spot again. Ride in the sand, until it takes you to the very north. Quickly jump off onto dry land. To get to the other side, hold 'B', and northeast on your control pad. This shouldn't let the sand carry you away. To get the treasure chest, go south, then let the sand carry you away, then quickly walk on the dry land where the chest is. Inside is a rare item, Peanut, it will boost any of your character's Defense stat by about 4 points. Get carried off and get back to the top (the part before you lept to get the chest). In this rushing sand, make sure you don't get carried down back to the beginning. Run up on the sand, then off, then on to get to the top easily. You can quickly get between the three rocks so you can use 'Press' on the pillar and reach the next treasure chest. Be careful, the sand pushes you very quickly. Inside, you get a new weapon for either Felix or Sheba. If you bought that artifact for Sheba in Mikasera, the weapon is good for Felix. It unleashes a very quick strike upon the enemy in a red flash. After recieving the weapon, get carried down the sand river, and quickly squeeze through the right side to get on dry land. Climb down the ladder, and get to the next screen. Continue this new path to get to the next screen. You're almost done, just this one last obstacle. Get carried down the large sand river, and you'll find 9 rocks aligned to make a square. If you had Sheba's 'Reveal', it would point a direction. You won't be able to do anything about this yet. Run to the right, and you'll find the exact same rocks as you saw before. They too, point out a direction, and you won't be able to do anything about this yet, like before. Keep going east, and climb to the next level. Run past the two sand rivers, using the same technique as you used in the last puzzle. Head south to reach a rope and nail. Use 'Release' on the rope, and climb the rope afterwards. The chest can be found when you go to the right side while being carried by the sand. The treasure chest contains a special item, that sort of acts like the card you recieved at the Kandora Temple. It changes a character's class, and lets you learn new and strange Psynergy for battle. You can always de-equip it, so it wouldn't hurt much to try. Once it is recieved, drop down. Climb back up, run through the two rivers, and this time, climb up to the higher ledge. Run above the sand, and across. When you reach the second hill of sand, make sure you try to go to the left side while you fall, because if you are able to squeeze through the rocks, you can find your exit. Once you're through, there are two ways you can take. For now, take the north exit. You'll have to come back later to take the south exit. Once you've taken the north exit, you're finally out, and on the Overworld. ============================================== [11]. Defeat the Pirates ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ ---------- To Alafura ---------- The town of Alafura is found just north of where you exited the Yampi Desert. +++++++ Alafura +++++++ In Alafura, if you go a little bit north, the Madora people that you saw in Yampi will appear. They will follow the old man here to the house. What you should do here is give the pirates a little visit. Go to the east of town, past the beach and to the next screen. You can see a large boat, and a whole bunch of men, that happens to be pirates. On the boat, there are rocks and logs that prevent the boat from sailing. They want to take it and sail away from Alafura. Go inside the boat, and you'll be fighting another boss. ----------------- Fighting Payayamu ----------------- Payayamu is the pirate from Champ that has the people of Madora worried. They also think that Picard is him. Now it's up to you to defeat him and release Picard of his imprisionment. Once you spot Payayamu, he'll be speaking to one of his men. Jenna gets angry and speaks, causing Payayamu and one of his men to spot you. Time to battle! This battle is a little tricky, because Payayamu has a special technique that calls more pirate members to join the battle. The thing you should do is knock him out first. They are weak against all elementals, so unleash anything you have, whether it be Psynergy, Djinni, or summons, they will do a lot of damage. Make sure when attacking all the enemy's party, that you have the larger arrow on Payayamu, or single Psynergy works well. The battle starts with one pirate member, but in the battle, Payayamu will eventually call more members. Prevent a whole army of them by wiping Payayamu, like I stated before. You will be glad when you defeat him. They'll lie all over the floor in pain. A girl will show up and speak to you. She seems like she knows Payayamu. Then, Mikaera's elder shows up with the mayor from Alafura. Payayamu and the fallen pirates get up. The guards take them to jail, and everyone leaves, except for the girl. She also leaves after. Before you leave, go south and use Felix's 'Move' on the box. Go through, go right up to the half-fallen box, and use 'Slide' to drop it. Grab the item that just fell, and head out. ---------------------- Removing a Few Weights ---------------------- You'll be required to remove the boulders and logs that prevents the ship from sailing. Start by using Felix's 'Move' on the rock below the log down. Jump across and push the rock furher down until it falls. Jump back, go to the very left of the log, and push it down as well. Go down on the long wooden pole. Push the rock until it falls. Then use Felix's 'Move' on the box beside you to make a bridge. Return back to where the log was, and walk across on the pole. Climb down the rope, and jump across to the right. Use Felix's 'Move' to bring the box over. Head back to where the log use to be. Go up, climb up the rope, and use 'Release' to extend the second rope. Climb up, then climb down vines. Use 'Press' to knock down the pillar. Jump on, and continue the path. When you get back to the box, use Felix's 'Move' to move the box over to the left. Get behind it, and move it into the water. There is still one rock left to go, but you'll need to learn a new Psynergy before you are able to do that. When you try to exit, Kraden will ask if you are sure to leave. Once you get out, exit Alafura. +++++++ Alafura +++++++ ---------------- Rest Up and Exit ---------------- If you go north, a lady will find hidden money in a pot. Not too important, so run along. You can find a little boy crying, so since you have the item you got in the ship, give it to him. He'll stop, and will let his dad let you go through a secret path. There's not a lot you can do inside, so and exit Alafura, unless you want to shop more or stay at the Inn. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ Get back into Yampi Desert, the other way leads to a broken bridge so the Desert is the only way to get to Alafura, unless you get your ship. ++++++++++++ Yampi Desert ++++++++++++ Go south, past a sign, and down the sand waterfall to get through. Then go through the cave, past the circle of rocks, and out of Yampi Desert. There is a Psynergy Stone in the circle of rocks, but you'll need Sheba's 'Reveal' to find that. ============================================== [12]. Visiting Popichi and Mikasera ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ Back on the Overworld, go east, south, then west to find a village called Popichi. +++++++ Popichi +++++++ You will have to get to the top of the mountain here to actually reach Popichi. There are a series of pillars and slopes that you have to use in order to reach the top. Push down any pillars, and slide down any slopes. It will gradually get darker as you get higher, and once you are at the top, it would seem as if it was night. In the next screen, run up until somebody speaks. Your party appears, and at the north, a wolf child appears beside a small pool with a reflection of the moon. The child sees you, and quickly runs away. Kraden speaks to you about this, so it may be time to explore around. When you reach the inside of the village, all of the people here are hooded. The shop and the Inn keepers are underground. They won't provide any service for you. One thing you should check out is up the stairs at the north of the village. After half-way up, you will witness a 'Reveal' effect, and an adult werewolf appears. He'll suddenly see you, use 'Reveal' again, and disappear back into the large rock. You can't do anything about it until you learn the Psynergy 'Reveal'. Now you know that you would have to return to this village, so leave and exit. Don't be afraid to explore around a while longer, but you won't find anything important. To get down the mountain, push all the pillars down that are blocking your way, and go down any slopes that you see. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ --------------------- To the Second Village --------------------- From Popichi, go south, past a bridge, west, past another bridge, west, past yet another bridge, then southwest. ++++++++ Mikasera ++++++++ ------- Rest Up ------- There is nothing much to do in Mikasera, yet, but you can buy a new artifact and other weapons and armor for your party. The artifact is worth 1600 coins, and it great for Sheba to equip. Jenna can also equip it, but you might have equipped that one weapon you got in the continental crossing to Jenna. The weapon unleashes a Jupiter attack that might bind the enemy's Psynergy. After shopping, go to the Inn if needed. There is a Mars Djinni here, but you won't be able to reach it until much later in the game. Exit the town. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ ---------------------------------------- Find a Mercury Djinni and a Combo Tablet ---------------------------------------- There is a Mercury Djinni that you can obtain in a random battle. If you go north of Mikasera, then east, then north, walk around a bit. This area is near a cave. In a battle, you might encounter the Djinni. The Mercury Djinni has about 287-341 HP, and is weak against fire, but resistant to water. It won't be as hard, but you should defeat it as soon as possible. Sheba tends to lose a lot more HP than Felix or Jenna, so you can use Felix's 'Cure' if needed. Just make sure she doesn't lose all of her HP. Also rely on your current Djinni and the summons you have. After it falls, Shelly joins your party. Once you appear on the Overworld again, check out the cave at top. There is another Combo Tablet in it, so once you're inside, use the new Psynergy 'Scoop' on the darkened patch. Climb down the ladder to reach the other side. Then get to the Combo Tablet. This one allows you to combine 1 Mars and 1 Jupiter Djinni. ============================================== [14]. Learn 'Reveal' From Ayers Rock ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ -------------------- Travel to Ayers Rock -------------------- Return where Mikasera lies. From there, return to Popichi. From Popichi, head east, then north, and enter the desert-like plain. When you set foot into it, you'd expect to enter a larger place like the Yampi Desert, but you don't. On the desert-like plain, go west, to find a pink-colored mountain. That place, is Ayers Rock. Keep an eye out for places that look like that. ++++++++++ Ayers Rock ++++++++++ --------------------------------------- Using Sheba's 'Whirlind' to Get Through --------------------------------------- There is a suspisious rock that is found when you enter Ayers Rock. That is your key to remove the sand that blocks your path. Beside the rock, face in the same direction as the path you are heading to. Using Sheba's 'Whirlwind', you can blow away the sand that blocks your way. For example, if you were to blow sand that is in the north of you, stand behind the rock, facing that direction. You'll have to do this throughout the whole mountain. Clear the north sand wall. Head north, left, down, left. Go on top of the rock and use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to blow unsightable sand away. Go back to the right, then up. Here you'll spot a large purple tornado statue, and a treasure chest. Watch out! The treasure chest is actually a Mimic. You can get rare items and lots of experience if you decide to battle it. It is weak against fire and has about 392 - 434 HP. You also get 272 EXP, 241 coins, and a Lucky Medal. With that done, go right, then down. Keep continuting the path until you meet up with four rocks. Go right from here. Then south to a whole group of rocks. From the rocks, go right, then down to meet another strange stone. Use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to blow away the sand. Head back to the bunch of rocks, and go south. Continue the path to reach another stone. Use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to blow away the sand, and use it again right after to open up a path to a treasure chest. Head back to the group of rocks and go north. Go right, then up to reach a stone. Use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to blow the sand away. Go back to the beginning of Ayers Rock. Use Felix's 'Retreat' if you are impatient. From the beginning, go north, right, down, and left to reach the same stone. Use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to clear the left path. Return to that spot and go through now that it is cleared. Find the stone, and use Sheba's 'Whirlwind'. Go down to get the treasure chest that contains a Smoke Bomb. Now, return to the beginning and go north again. Go left, down, left, then up. At the end, you'll reach that purple tornado statue. Use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to witness a huge tornado blast to clear away the giant sand wall. Now you can climb higher. When you reach the top, go left. You can also spot tiny tornadoes that appear from the statues. Climb up, go to the left, then climb up again. Drop down the slope and let the tornadoes carry you off. Drop down a slope again, then let another tornado carry you. Now you can push the pillar down. Continue to the right and push another pillar down. If you want to get a treasure chest, go right, then climb down. The treasure chest contains a new weapon, that can be given to Felix only. Once you're done, climb back up and head left. Climb up, then go right, climb down, and get carried by a tornado. Climb up, then push the pillar down. Get carried by the tornado, then climb up. Here, climb up. You will have to avoid being hit by a lot of tornadoes. If you do get hit, you'll drop to the bottom and you'll have to try again. Move right after a tornado is released, so you're moving behind the tornado. Go right after you completed it. You're almost to the Air Shrine! Climb up, and use Felix's 'Move' on the first pillar, and move it to the left. Climb down a little bit, and jump off on the platform. Slide down the slope, and go right on top of the right statue to get blown to the top. Move left, then use Felix's 'Move' to move the second pillar to the left. Jump across, then slide down to be carried upwards by a tornado. Climb up and across. After you climb higher, fog appears. This makes it so if you ever climb higher, it will take you to the same screen. Just like a loop, and you have to stop it. Use Felix's 'Move' on the pillar and move it to the right. Now you have to get back down. Get back to the last puzzle, and slide down two slopes to get to the lower level of the two pillars. Climb up to the top again, pass the two pillars, and continue. Now you've reached the other side of the foggy place. Climb up to the pink tornado statue, and use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to clear all the fog away. There is a treasure chest here, to get it, climb back down, and repeat the steps that took you to the part where you pushed the pillar down so the path would be open to the pink tornado statue. Now on the right side, climb up to reach the chest. Inside contains some sort of shield that can be equipped by Felix only. It unleashes a tiny splatter of rain upon the enemy, then Felix runs to them and slashes them, also causing them to lose some Attack in the process. Climb back down, and hurry back to the left side. Now on the left side, climb up. This is the opening of the temple. Go north and use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' on the pink tornado statue. This will cause lightning bolts, and opens up a new doorway. Climb down, to reach the Inside Ayers Rock. +++++++++++++++++ Inside Ayers Rock +++++++++++++++++ ------------------------ Climb to the Sixth Floor ------------------------ Yet, after all of the Whirlwinding, there's still much more to do. Six floors to the top, and you must complete them to reach the area to learn 'Reveal'. Now you're here, you might as well grab the Psynergy Stone that appears right beside you. There is also a combo tablet found here, but we'll get to that sometime. From here, go south, left, up, and around. Easy enough, yes? It will soon get harder. Once you've reached near the end, a giant statue is found here. It looks like the tiny ones that blew tornadoes before. Keep running south and around again, then climb up to the doorway. The second floor. You can find out by looking at the number of dots that appear on a square in front of a doorway. Go right and through the next doorway. Continue the easy path, if there are two paths, one of them has rocks to block your way. Continue through, and soon you'll hit yourself with a pillar puzzle. There are two kinds of pillars, a normal one, and one you can use 'Press' on. First thing you want to do, is move the most western brown pillar to the right two times, and up one time. Then go to the right grey pillar and use 'Press' on it. Now move the brown pillar in the same square on top of the pillar you just pressed down. Climb up, then jump from brown pillar to brown pillar, then across to make it. Jump behind the rock, and use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to blow the sand away. Jump back down and go through the path you just opened. Facing down, use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' on the stone to blow away the next sand wall. Climb down, go left a bit, climb up, and head down through the new path. At the end of the path, move the pillar on top of the orange square. Run all the way around to the beginning of the pillar puzzle, then go left, south and to the right, and back to reach the ledge near the pillar you just moved. Now you can jump across and through the staircase that leads to the third floor. Here at the third floor, is a water and pillar puzzle, with a combo tablet included. Go north, climb down, run across, and climb up. Head north and move the pillar over. This will cause the water that is blocking your path to stop. Go past the hole, then go north, right, and north. Climb down and run left past the water. Use Felix's 'Move' to move the pillar to the right. Run up, and stand beside the hole facing the pillar. Use Felix's 'Move' and move the pillar back so it blocks the hole again. Climb up, jump across, and get to the end of the path. Go south, climb down, and move the pillar on top of the orange square. Go left and climb up, head south, left, then south. Move the pillar to the right, then go back. Jump across the pillar you moved before, then south. Move the pillar here to the right once. Slide down, go left a bit, climb up, go past the hole on the wall, and continue south. You're outside once again. Jump across the ledges to reach another doorway. Go up, climb down, and use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' while facing west. This will cause the large statue to turn, allowing you to cross. Jump across, climb down, go to the left, and climb up. Go left, and run through the whole path until you reach a stone. Use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to move the large statue. Return back to the way you came in, but this time go north and across the tightrope to reach a pillar. Push it to the right to knock it down. Walk through the tightrope again, then go immediately south. Walk on another tightrope and continue the long path, to reach a doorway, that leads to the fourth floor. Here, if you want to recieve an Elixir, go left and get it. Going up takes you on a long path. At the end, climb down, jump across all the floating platforms, then jump down. Jump down further, then climb up. Jump across, and climb down. Use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' on the stone to move another identical statue, so you can walk across it. Climb up, and walk the tightrope. Walk another tightrope, and climb down. Use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' on the stone to move the statue again. Climb up and run across. Jump down to the pillar and onto the tightrope. Head south, then right, and continue the jumping to get to the doorway. Being outside once more, jump across and climb down. You'll go by the sixth floor doorway, but you won't get there yet. Keep climbing down, and go through the doorway. You'll enter a large purple crystal room that contains a large blue Psynergy stone in the middle. Examine it if you are low on Psynergy. Run through until you reach the other doorway. You will spot another huge statue that looks like the tiny statues that blew tornadoes. It's almost time to awaken it and the others that are found in the Air Shrine. Jump across on the many floating platforms, to reach the large pink tornado statue. Use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to awaken the large and the small wind statues that you see here. One thing you should do before leaving this area, go back to the doorway, go right, and jump through the floating platforms there. At the end, you'll appear outside the Air Shrine. Push the pillar to the grey square. Now get back inside. Go back to the small wind statue, and stand on top of it to get blown to the top. This will take you to a much higher floor, and to another pink tornado statue. Use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' again, and it will awaken the rest of the statues. Go on the floating platform, and use Felix's 'Move' on the pillar. Jump across and move it again. You're back at the beginning, but that's okay. Get to the small wind statue and get carried to the treasure chest. Inside are Douse Bubbles. Use Felix's 'Move' on the pillar and move it to the orange square. Now, run south and around to get to the doorway. This looks familiar, and this time you can go to the left doorway instead of the right. Go north, climb down, and push the pillar to the orange square. Return back to the beginning, and be carried off. Jump on the pillar you have moved, and go north. In this room, move the statue all the way up. Then get carried to reach a treasure chest that contains a crown for either Jenna or Sheba. They both can't have it at the same time, so see the difference of Defense that goes up for each of the characters, and choose the character that has the most change. Slide down the slope. This time, move the statue down five times and get carried. This will take you to the next doorway. First, move the pillar to the orange square. Go left, then down, and jump on the platforms. Jump until you reach the ledge with the pillar blocking the water. Use Felix's 'Move' to move it to the left on the orange square. Get back to the beginning, to where you pushed the first pillar down. Go south, and to the next doorway. It's the third floor. Climb down and run to the right until you meet tightropes. Go through, then down, through another tightrope, climb up, then through the third tightrope. Head south and through the doorway at the end. At the new room, go left, then use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to clear away the sand. Then use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' while facing down to move the statue over. Now go through the new path you opened. Climb down, and run southwest to find the newly placed statue. Climb up to meet it, and get blown across to reach a treasure chest. Inside are 666 coins. Slide down the slope and go down. Go right and climb up. Before you go through the doorway here, go past it and push the pillar down. Now, go through the doorway that you went by. Floor five! Almost there. Go southwest, and continue up to reach a treasure chest. It contains Douse Bubbles again. Keep going up, and walk beside the wind statue. Use Felix's 'Move' and move the statue to the right. Return back to the beginning of floor five, and go up. There shouldn't be any more tornadoes to push you down because you just blocked it! Go up and through the doorway to floor six. The last floor. After going through the path and to the next screen, climb down. Get blown by the tornado, then climb up. Keep climbing, until you reach the top. Jump on all the floating platforms, and go through the door. You're finally here, where Sheba will learn 'Reveal'. The room's bottom is filled with purple clouds, and with floating platforms. Go up and jump through. The platforms will disappear one-by-one as you jump on them. When you're at the end, you'll find a tablet. Examine it, and Sheba will come out to talk to you. She'll examine it, and the tablet will start to float. Energy starts to fly out of the tablet, and into Sheba, causing her to float in the air. Soon, both of them will drop down, and Sheba will finally have 'Reveal'! The work has paid off, hasn't it? To get a treasure chest, go left. Use Sheba's 'Reveal' when you meet a circle of platforms. Inside is a Psycrystal. Head back, and go to the right side. Do the same, and you'll be at the entrance. What has ever happened to the combo tablet? Use Felix's 'Retreat' and we'll get it! Since you've done all the puzzles, getting to the third floor should be easy. The third floor is the third screen from the beginning. Once you're at the start of the water and pillar puzzle, climb down, run to the right, and climb up. Go north, then move the pillar to the left. Go left, then down, and push the pillar here to the right once. From the pillar you just pushed, go north, jump across another pillar, go up, climb down, go to the right, climb up, and go north until you reach a wind statue. Get blown to the left, and run down. Go behind the stone, and use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' one last time. This will cause the pillar you moved before to be carried across the room. Slide down, jump across on the pillar again, then south, slide down, and you're there. Push the pillar to the right, then jump across. There it is! The combo tablet is yours! It will allow you to summon using two Jupiter and one Venus Djinni. Time to exit using Felix's 'Retreat'! Use it twice to get out of Ayers Rock! ============================================== [15]. Returning Back to Popichi ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ ---------- To Popichi ---------- After a long puzzling time in Ayers Rock, and having Sheba learn 'Reveal' in the process, you can now return to Popichi and discover the mysteries of the werewolves. Journey to Popichi, it is nearby. +++++++ Popichi +++++++ ----------------------------------- Use 'Reveal' to Find the Werewolves ----------------------------------- Climb up the mountain, just like you have done before. It will gradually get darker once again. Once you've reached the top, return to the odd rock that is found northeast in Popichi. The werewolf will appear, then disappear in a flash of his own 'Reveal'. Now that Sheba obtained its power, you can enter his home. Use Sheba's 'Reveal' to find an opening in the rock, and enter. --------------------- Follow the Wolf Child --------------------- Go north, then the wolf child appears and runs back to the right at the sight of you. Go after it, by jumping to the right, then going north. In the next screen, go up, jump left, continue the path, and finally go north. You will stop, and notice an odd-looking pillar. A 'Reveal' vision appears, and a door appears where the pillar lies. The werewolf comes out, with the wolf child behind him. It's time to listen to an important story. ------------------- Listen to the Story ------------------- First, the werewolf explains how they got their strange powers, like the 'Reveal' that you saw earlier. Remember that large Psynergy Stone in Ayers Rock? He claims that they got their powers from that stone. Kraden will speak about the Elemental Stars, that the werewolf knows about. The wolf child will keep yapping, as it did when you first met him. Kraden will see them as 'hideous', then, he'll jump out at Jenna, having the werewolf knock him down. The wolf child then leaves. Kraden apologizes, thn the werewolf suggests that they rest at the Inn before they talk again. It's the next morning, and you'll all see regular people outside, no hooded, or cloaked ones. It's daytime, but give the werewolf one more visit. Return to his home, follow the same path, and the werewolf will appear from the rock once again. The werewolf will tell you much more, then Sheba will bring up Ayers Rock again, and it seems as if she has discovered something, that shocked the werewolf and Kraden. Then, the werewolf will bring out a Jupiter Djinni, that, Jenna is surprised of. Zen joins your party, a good ally to Sheba. Exit the cave. --------------- Leaving Popichi --------------- Again, buy any weapons, armor, or items you may need. If you feel weary, go to the Inn. Now, let's get that treasure chest that was at the beginning of Popichi where you first met the wolf child. From the weapon shop, go directly north to find an entrance. This entrance is beside the Sanctum door of Popichi. Once inside, go left, then down to find platform pillars. They are formed in a ring, so you know what to do. Use Sheba's 'Reveal' to find the middle platform. Jump across, then through the doorway. Run across the path to reach the next one that will lead you outside. Now, go down, past the tightrope, and to the treasure chest. Either Felix or Jenna can equip this, but if you have followed the weapons throughout this walkthrough, it will be perfect for Jenna. Your job here is done, go on the tightrope, and down the slope. Leave Popichi like you have done before. ============================================== [16]. From Oceania to Gondowan ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ -------------------- Stopping at Mikasera -------------------- It's time to leave the continent of Oceania, and to a very familiar continent, that Golden Sun players will know of. It's the continent of Gondowan! Unfortunately, you won't be able to visit the places like Lalivero, or Suhalla. Now, from Popichi, find your way back to the Indra Continent. To do this, follow the same directions it took you to get to Popichi, except reverse the order. The regular order is found in the earlier chapters. It also wouldn't hurt to level up a bit, it would defiantely come in handy later on in the game. While traveling back to Indra, make a pit stop at Mikasera. ++++++++ Mikasera ++++++++ -------------------- Get your Mars Djinni -------------------- You've got unfinished business to do here. There used to be an unreachable Mars Djinni here. Now you have 'Scoop', you can finally reach it. Go southwest of town, to meet a chicken and a sheep. Use 'Scoop' all around that area, if you want to discover a Sleep Bomb. The ladder is found right in the middle of the whole fenced area. Here is the underground area, similar to the one that was found in Madora, except it's a lot shorter. Go north, then up the ladder. You should appear outside once again, this time, the same area where the Mars Djinni was. It will also join you immediately. You'll also spot a treasure chest while acquiring the Djinni. Now that's settled, exit the whole place, except don't leave Mikasera yet. Once you're at the entrance, climb up the ladder near the Inn. Don't climb up the second one, while on the first one, you can jump to the right. Go through your path and recieve your treasure. Well, it's not that big, but you'll never know when 82 coins will come in handy. Now you can exit Mikasera. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ --------------- Check on Picard --------------- Once you've crossed the continental crossing from Oceania to Indra, you should be near Madora, where you first met Picard. Let's check on him, shall we? ++++++ Madora ++++++ The two men that were in Madora, will come to speak to you again. Apparently, Picard is not in Madora, but far away in Gondowan. Well, it too, also seems that you are going there as well. Picard has left to retrieve the Black Orb from an African viliage, called Kimbombo, because it has been stolen. Let's follow him. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ ------------------- Watch out for Iron! ------------------- Yes, well, there is a Djinni lurking by this area. If you haven't met it already while going to Madora in the beginning of the game, here's your chance. Roam around the west of Madora, eventually in a random battle, a Venus Djinni will appear. Make sure you don't let it run away, or you'll have to leave the Overworld and come back! Iron is weak against Mars, so burn away at it. Doing leathal damage using summons and Psynergy, it will go down easily. Finally one more for Felix! ---------------------- To the Gondowan Cliffs ---------------------- No more pit stops, time to get to your destination. Go northwest of Madora, past a bridge. Then southwest again, and past another brdge. You'll immediately spot a third bridge, go through it. Then to the left, you'll discover the Gondowan Cliffs. +++++++++++++++ Gondowan Cliffs +++++++++++++++ --------------- Getting Through --------------- Here, you'll immediately spot a puppy. Yet, why is it there? It is giving you a clue to get through the cliffs. Do you see the rounded patch it's sniffing? Use your 'Scoop' Psynergy to reveal a hidden gyser. Quickly walk on top of the hole, and let the gyser carry you up. Hop off, then slide down the slope. Jump across to the left. There is a red mushroom at the higher cliffs, it's not very important, but you'll get that later. You have two choices now. One, you can slide down the slope to find a deserted cave. If you came to the cliffs a lot earlier, you'd find a lot of men, but apparently they have disappeared. If you chose this path, head north, use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to blow away the vines to reveal a hidden doorway. Get back to the entrance and hope onto the gyser. Get back to the part where you spotted the red mushroom. This time, climb up the vine. Then go northwest, and up another vine. Then, up another. Go left, where you'll find three slopes, and a Mars Djinni. You'll get that one later. Choose the middle slope. Once down, you'll spot a green mushroom. This one is important, and will lead you to yet another Mars Djinni, not the one you spotted earlier, but the one that two elders are keeping in their house in Madora. You'll know now that you'll be making a return trip to Madora. Once down, jump across, and up. Don't go down the slope yet, while up, use Felix's 'Move' on the tree stump to create another bridge, that will take you to the Mars Djinni. Now, go down the slope. If you want to get back to the beginning, go right, up the vine, and use 'Release' on the rope. Otherwise, go down and climb down the vine. From the first step once you've climbed down the vine, jump three steps to the left, two to the north, one to the left, one to the north, one to the left, go up, one to the left, two to the south, one to the left, three to the north, two to the right, go down, two to the right, three to the north, then two to the left to reach the vine. Go north up another vine, then down a little. Just a little so you can jump across to the left. Go north, up the vine, go right, then down to find a treasure chest. Nothing great, but you'll get yourself a Sleep Bomb. Return to the vine and head south. Go down another vine, then head north up two more vines. Go past the tightrope, then up another two vines. Go directly south to find the Mars Djinni. This one will fight, and it fights pretty good. With plenty of HP (about 344-434), this one hits you with Blast, Dragon Cloud, and all the ones Jenna knows. Heal frequently, while your Djinni are going to Standby one at a time, your stats are being lowered. Procne hits it with an all-mighty blow of 150. When that battle is done, Excel joins your party. It will also give you 228 EXP and 273 Coins. Now, we seem to have three Mars Djinni, three Jupiter Djinni, two Mercury Djinni, and only two Venus Djinni! We'll be meeting up with anoter Venus soon enough. Return to the tightrope. Walk across, climb down two vines, head south, the west, to find the exit. ****************************************** C. G O N D O W A N C O N T I N E N T ****************************************** ============================================== [17]. Resting at the Village of Niri ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ ---------- Visit Niri ---------- Head directly north, shortly you'll meet up with Niri. ++++ Niri ++++ --------------------------- Rest Up and Gain Some Items --------------------------- A nice peaceful village, you can upgrade your weapons, armor, and gain more useful items. After many fights in the Gondowan Cliffs, your HP and Psynergy must be low. Take a break, and go visit the Inn. Near the Inn, is a rope and nail. Use 'Release' to extend the rope where the treasure chest is. Inside, is a crown, a useful armor, that can be equipped on anyone. It will raises two stats up, so choose the right character to equip it. After, go to the middle of the village where the fire is. Go inside the house that is the left of it. Go through, until you're outside, then use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to blow away the vines. Climb up the ladder, and use Sheba's 'Reveal' to reveal a treasure chest. Inside is a ring that you can equip on any party member. These rings are useful, they can be used anytime, even in battle. Each ring has a special ability that can heal or attack. Well, looks like you're done here. Let's travel to the Ming Mountains. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ ----------------- To Ming Mountains ----------------- Yet another short path, go directly north of Niri, then a little to the right. Here are the Ming Mountains, it'll be tough to get through, but you can do it! ============================================== [18]. Sneaking Through the Ming Mountains ============================================== ++++++++++++++ Ming Mountains ++++++++++++++ ---------------- Sneaking Through ---------------- Whatever you do, you do not want to be spotted by any guards here. They will not permit any being from getting through. Time to be sneaky, you must be sly and get through barking dogs and watching guards to successfully get to Kimbombo. Go north, up the three stairs. While you go right, the screen moves up, showing one guard you have to avoid. They show that the place will be heavenly guarded, because of a ceremony that is happening in Kimbombo. Go right, and push the box to the right four times. Then push it up. Use Felix's 'Move' on the second box and move it to the left one time. Climb up the vines and jump across. Climb up another vine and head northwest across the plank near the first guard is. Push the pillar over, go across and climb up the vines. Head up the stairs, and watch out for this wandering guard. There is a box that will help cover you. Push it over two times, then climb up. Run through, don't go down the vine here. Use 'Release' upon the rope, and climb over. Run down, and push down the pillar. Return to the rope and continue up to a new screen. Go to the box, but not down the vine. Use Felix's 'Move' and move it to the left once. Then push it to the left, then down once. When the guard appears right below you, push it down and send the box pummeling down upon him. He's trapped inside, so go down the vine and get the treasure chest. Inside contains a Power Bread, it raises up a character's maximum HP. Go to the left and climb the pillar filled with vines. Jump across and push the pillar down when the dog is on the lower side of the pillar. This causes the dog to be trapped and you won't be bothered. Climb back down and run up, but watch out for the guard on the left. Go inside the cave, and use Sheba's 'Reveal' to find a Smoke Bomb in one of the crates. Then head outside. It seems like the dog is outside again, right to the right of you. Be on the left side of the box, and use the 'Slide' Psynergy to knock the box over. The bone on top will fall and the dog will immediately take it. This stalls the dog, while you can grab your treasure chest at the southeastern part. Inside is a strange blue blob-like item, it cannot be equipped, nor used. Keep it for a while and see what you can do with it. Head back where the dog is, then go northeast, and use Sheba's 'Whirlwind' to blow away the vines. Go inside the doorway, and go through the path in the cave to reach the end. Go up the two vines and run across to the left. Climb down the next two vines, the head directly south. Well, well, well. Looks like there's another Jupiter Djinni to get, we'll get to it after you acquire Picard, your fourth member. Go down all the stairs until you reach the bottom. Jump over to the left, head up, then you're finally through. That wasn't so hard, was it? ============================================== [19]. Finding Picard at Last ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ ----------- To Kimbombo ----------- Go left across the bridge, then northeast. You will notice instantly that the sky turns dark as you move. Still walking, you'll find Kimbombo. ++++++++ Kimbombo ++++++++ ----------- Sneaking In ----------- It's all dark, and a ceremony is approaching. The Inns and shops are even closed, and all the people are gathered at the north. They won't even let you through, and thus, you'd have to sneak in once again. First, go to the very beginning of the village, where all the red poles lie. Through the side, are openings where no rock blocks your way. Once through, use 'Release' on the rope and climb up. Now jump across on top of the red poles and get to the other side. Head north until you meet the Sanctum's keeper. Jump to the left across the poles beside him. Jump three times to the left, one time south, three times to the left, one time south, then one time to the left, avoiding the water puddle nearby. Through this path, you can jump on top of the roofs of the houses. Jump across again to reach the side. Now head up. -------------- Acquire Picard -------------- As soon as you reach the new screen, somebody will speak. The screen will move to the right where a lot of people are, and the person who just spoke. You'll immediately spot the Black Orb, the item that was stolen from Picard. A big monkey statue, that seems asleep, holds the Black Orb. Once you gain control, it's time to go up. But look who's just nearby, it's Picard! He will speak to you as soon as you meet him. Jenna, Sheba, and even Kraden appears to talk to him. They speak to each other, Picard explains that the people here are planning to sacrifice the Black Orb to the Gamboma, the large statue that appears before them, in order to wake it up. After, the ceremony is about to start. The chief Akafubu, uses 'Lift' and lifts the Black Orb high in the sky. Picard is then shocked, that he may lose his Black Orb if the ceremony is a success. The Akafubu chants and the eyes of the Gamboma awakens. Then, they close, and Akafubu cannot tell why it is happening. Picard is then determined to get it back, by fixing the circuits inside Gamboma. He then looks for a way to get through without being spotted, but is still confused. Kraden then tells you to help him, and demonstrate that you can use Psynergy. Go up beside the pillar, and use Felix's 'Move' to pull it back. Picard notices that, and is delighted. After a lot of talk, Picard is going to go after the Black Orb, until Kraden suggests that he gets help from them. After a little bit more talking, he joins your party at level 18. Finally! ============================================== [20]. Inside the Gamboma ============================================== ++++++++ Kimbombo ++++++++ -------------- Picard's Stats -------------- Picard joins your party at level 18, it won't matter if you're below him, though he has more EXP gained than any of your party members, he levels up slower. Gradually you'll be at the same level as him, and then he'll be the last to level up! It's strange, but it's een made like that so your party levels will be even throughout the game. Picard also carries two Mercury Djinni named Piko and Shade, so now you can even de-equip the Mercury ones you have now and give it to Picard. -------------------------- Find a Way Into the Statue -------------------------- Now with Picard in your party, climb up the vine to recieve a Psynergy stone, if you have not went to get it while demonstating your Psynergy to Picard. Climb back down, then run through the whole path around until you reach the other side. Climb down the vines, and go towards the back of the monkey statue. Picard will notice that there is something strange on the ground. Kraden will see that there are four cracks, and they will not make a person fall once stepped on. He asks you to use your Psynergy, then Felix will use 'Scoop' upon the bottom square. Everybody will spot an arrow pointing upwards. Felix will use 'Scoop' on the top crack, then on the left, then on the right. All the arrows point to the middle. They talk a bit more, then will give you control. Go back to where the vine was, and use 'Scoop' on the crack there. It will reveal a ladder, so climb down, and you'll enter the Gamboma. ++++++++++++++ Inside Gamboma ++++++++++++++ ------------------- Through the Puzzles ------------------- Once you're here, go left, and continue the whole path, past red gears, until you reach a ladder that leads to two more gears. Climb up, then get pushed, then climb up the next ladder. In this next room, seems like a very large puzzle. You can gain some experience by fighting a Mimic, that appears as a treasure chest southeast of you. It is resistant to wind but is weak against fire. With a lot of HP, it will take a few turns. It will give you 400 EXP and 380 coins once defeated. Once back to the screen, head up, then go one step to the right, then down to reach another treasure chest. Inside contains an armor good for either Jenna or Sheba. Once that's finished, return to where you were, then head for the ladder you see to get to the next room. We see a lot more gears this time. It really shows that Gamboma is a machine! Go down, left, then up to find a rope. You have to use 'Release' at the right time, because the gear with the nail is turning all the time. To make things easier, put 'Release' as a L or R button. When the nail is as close as it can be to the rope, use it. The gear will stop and the tightrope will be available. There's no point in climbing it, as it will lead you no where. Return to the red gears. They have stopped now, so go through. Go left, then use 'Release' on the rope there if you want to. Otherwise, climb up the ladder. A lot more gears, but a Venus Djinni, also! You'll get to it soon enough. Go down, then jump over the gap. Continue left, then go up, then right, and up the ladder. And I said the last room had a lot of gears, this room is full of it! Go south, then right, then down. Don't go up the ladder here. You'll be trapped, and will be forced to go back anyways. Continue running all the way up, avoiding the gears. Once you try to turn left, you'll spot a rat. It'll spot you, then jump on the gear, and continues from gear to gear. That's the key in completing this puzzle. Go left, then down, and jump over the gap to reach the ladder. Here, go to the next ladder, by going left, then through. In this room, go left, up, right, then down. Out of the three paths, go to the left and continue south. At the end of this path, you'll find a shining gear, and two pillars on each side. Use 'Press' upon the pillar. Now to get to the other side. Exit this whole area, and return to the part where you first saw the rat. From this exact area, go right between the blue and red gear. Hop on top of the red gear from the right side. Once the gear is carrying you through, quickly jump onto the blue gear. Then jump on the green one to the right of you, then to the green one below you. Jump on the blue one, then onto the green one. Jump onto the blue, then across on the two green ones. Jump on the red gear, and you're finished. Get to the other side, then go left, to find a ladder. Then, go down the next ladder. Go left to find a treasure chest that contains an Elixir. Now return, and go right. You'll soon find yourself on the side with the second pillar. Use 'Press' to cause the shining gear to fall down. Now everything is reversed, and now you can get through parts you couldn't get to before. Now exit this area, and get to the same screen where the rat jumped. Find the two red gears that are parallel to each other. One of these will take you to the Venus Djinni. Take the left, one, and after falling, you'll find yourself right near the Djinni. This one will fight, so prepare yourselves. This one may run, too. It's strangely weak against Jupiter, and resistant to Venus, so attack with Sheba and her Jupiter Djinni. It has about 366-668 HP (I defeated it using Boreas, causing a large unacurate HP estimation). It'll also give you 279 EXP and 340 coins. After the battle, Kiss joins your party. Now, use 'Release' on the rope. Climb through, go down the small ladder, then go and return to the ladder up north. Go south, right, then down, and finally go up the ladder that you avoided before. Now that the gears go backwards, the two red ones here will push you in instead of pushing you out. Use 'Release' on the rope if you desire to. Now, go up the ladder. Here's something new, it's some sort of mini-Gamboma inside Gamboma! The large orange thing here is surprisingly the tongue. Go right and climb the ladder. Akafubu will immediately speak. You'll find yourself at the head of the Gamboma, where the eyes lie. The large statue's face appears before you, and Akafubu is willing to try again. He uses 'Lift' once again, and the eyes of Gamboma opens. All four of you will notice sparks appearing on the floor. They all disappear quickly due to the odd paths that moves them. The eyes then close. Akafubu is then upset again, and decides to try again later. Kraden has an idea, and if you can fix this, the Black Orb will be spared. Akafubu will try again in 20 seconds, so you have a clock to fix up the circuits of Gamboma. Don't worry, if you're too slow, he'll state that he'll try again in another 20. So take your time if you need it. Once you gain control, head towards the pillar, and use 'Press' upon it to start. It will cause some of the floor to float, and it's up to you to move the the floor directions around so that the sparks from both the red and blue eyes get to the miniature statue in the middle of the room. When you use 'Press' on the pillar, you have to step on the arrows beside it to rotate the pieces. When one part is placed correctly, you have to use 'Press' on it to put it down. If you mess up, use 'Press' on the pillar again. The piece with the dots won't do anything, so leave that for last. Here's what I did: . . . . . . . * * * * * . * . * . * (S) * ..*.. * * * * * * * . * * * * . * . . . . . *(B) .(R) It's not to accurate, as it doesn't show which direction the panels go. It should do some good, as it shows the direction I went. You can do it completely different, this is the way I decided to go. When you're done, wait a while, until Akafubu speaks. He uses 'Lift' once again, and you get to watch the sparks go through your path that you created. Gamboma's eyes open before you, and sticks out its tongue. It quick devours the Black Orb, but leaves its tongue out to the open. Akafubu is delighted, and enters Gamboma through the tongue path. Picard and compony looks at the small statue of Gamboma, where the tongue is. They wonder where the Black Orb is, also. Then, to their words, the Black Orb appears, and goes underneath the small statue. Sheba peers down underneath to try and see where it went. Akafubu then appears, and Picard is angry because of the theft of the Black Orb. Jenna tells Akafubu that they fixed Gamboma and he is no more than a statue. He doesn't believe this, and so Jenna takes him to the puzzle room. Akafubu then puts in a red jewel inside the small statue of Gamboma. It moves aside, revealing a new path behind where it used to be. Akafubu then enters it. Now follow him. Go straight up, then you'll go down an elevator. Continue going up, and you'll find Akafubu, another small Gamboma statue, and the Black Orb, sitting in the statue's hands. Go past Akafabu, and examine the Black Orb. The room will get dark and the Black Orb floats up high. The statue speaks to you, speaking about the black magic Akafubu posesses, and that it itself gave it to him. When Akafubu leaves, a treasure chest is given to you. After a few more words, the treasure chest disappears. Kraden speaks with the statue, and it tells you that you can posess the black magic as well. It'll reveal a hidden ladder to the right of you. The room will return to normal, and the Black Orb falls back down. Felix then goes to it and recieves it. Both you and Kraden leave. ++++++++ Kimbombo ++++++++ ------- Rest Up ------- You're back in the village, inside the Sanctum hut. You all explain to Akafubu's father about Gamboma, but Akafubu himself feels very angry because you were allowed to posess the same black magic that he does, and turns his back away from you. You may not know what he means yet, but you'll get back inside Gamboma once you obtain the Cyclone Piece. Down the ladder that Gamboma showed you, is a room filled with grass. 'Cyclone' is needed to get through. Once you gain control of Felix again, leave the hut, and you'll discover that the sky is normal and the darkness has disappeared. Go buy weapons, armors, items, and heal if needed. There should be a few weapons and armors that you'd want to upgrade. Also take a look at the artifacts. It looks like your job here is done, but you'll have to come back sometime once you have learned Cyclone, the new field Psynergy that you'll be recieving really soon. ************************************************************ D. G O N D O W A N - I N D R A C O N T I N E N T ************************************************************ ============================================== [21]. Return to Madora ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ -------------------- Going Back to Madora -------------------- You need to go through the Ming Mountains and the Gondowan Cliffs to get back to Madora. But since Picard is in your party, you can now check out the places that were unreachable, unless you had his 'Frost'. The first place to use that technique is in the Ming Mountains. ++++++++++++++ Ming Mountains ++++++++++++++ ----------------------- Get Your Jupiter Djinni ----------------------- Once you've reach the Ming Mountains, you should've spotted a puddle near the exit while storming through. From the exit of the Ming Mountains, jump across the river, and go up three stairs. From there, go south and you'll find the puddle. Use Picard's 'Frost' to make an ice pillar. You always must be careful with Picard's 'Frost' and 'Douse', as each of them take 5 PP to use them. Always be accurate and know where you're using them, because you don't want to waste too much Psynergy. Head back north and go up one more time. Then head south, and jump across using the newly created ice pillar. Climb up the vine to find a sapling. You need to use 'Growth', which requires a character to have at least 1 Venus and Mars Djinni. Just move one Mars Djinni to Felix, and he'll have the technique, only if he has a roster of Venus Djinni, and no other element, and vice-versa. Once you have 'Growth', use it on the sapling, then right after, if you want, return the Djinni back to its original owner. Climb up the vine, and you'll find the Jupiter Djinni. It will defiantely attack you, so prepare. It is weak against earth but resistant to wind. It has about 346-469 HP, and once defeated, it'll give you 225 EXP and 309 coins. Bouquet becomes your ally! Now that's finished, it's time to continue on. ----------- Continue On ----------- Now that Bouquet is in your posession, climb back down, jump back across using the ice pillar, and go up. Go right, then down, then right, then down. In the next screen, don't forget to grab the treasure chest that you left behind. Inside is an odd-looking weapon for either Felix or Picard. Continue your way south to exit this whole thing. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ Go all the way south, past Niri. Then when you see the Gondowan Cliffs, go to it. +++++++++++++++ Gondowan Cliffs +++++++++++++++ ---------------------- Find an Important Item ---------------------- Go right, then up, and climb up the two vines. Walk through the tightrope, then go down. Climb down the two vines, then climb up the vine you see next. Jump to the right, go up, then climb down the vine. Continue through, then you'll be back on the stepping stone puzzle. Navigate yourself through it, to reach land once again. Go right and up a vine. Use 'Release' on the rope and climb across. Go down the vine and down the slope. Go right, then up, and use Picard's 'Frost' on the puddle. Climb up the vine nearby and jump across using the ice pillar. Go up the next four vines. Go down the one vine you see nearby. Use Picard's 'Frost' on the puddle, then go north, up a vine, then go south. Jump across using the ice pillar and go down the slope. You'll see another slope, but don't go down this one! Go past it instead, and you'll find a green mushroom. It may not look much, but this item will grant you a Mars Djinni. Though it won't make any sense at all now, you'll understand once we get to Madora. Now go down the next two slopes, up the vine, across the rope, down the vine, down the slope, and go to the northeast. You're at the entrance of the Gondowan Cliffs, so exit the whole place. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ You know where Madora lies, just go east and follow the bridges until you find it. Remember, it is directly east! ++++++ Madora ++++++ -------------------------- Meeting Your Enemy At Last -------------------------- You've always wondered when your enemies will show up, and this is the time. The only problem is, that only one of them will show up and that one won't bother you yet! When you head to the mayor's house, you'll spot Karst right away. She'll also see you once you pass her, and will mysteriously speak a few words to you, like it's nothing at all. Just continue towards the mayor's house. -------------------------------- Learn Cyclone and Get Permission -------------------------------- Once you enter the room, the mayor will immediately see that Picard is back. They'll also know that he retrieved the Black Orb back. Once you gain control, leave the house. The boy will contact you again and will speak to you outside. He gives you the Cyclone Piece, once equipped, you'll learn Cyclone. It creates a whirlwind and blows away grass from below. It's very much different than the 'Whirlwind' technique. He'll also give Picard pemission to sail the ship using the Black Orb. After he leaves, Karst speaks to you about Isaac. It's very strange that she knows a lot about him. She also mentions that she is Menardi's younger sister! She wants revenge for her sister's death. Karst then quickly leaves. Don't forget to get something else here, and with the green mushroom you have, you can get a Mars Djinni. ---------------------- Swap for a Mars Djinni ---------------------- Go to the area with the four houses. Go insid the northwestern one to find two elders. If you go up the stairs, you'll find a Mars Djinni inside a fence. Give the elder the green mushroom, and he'll bring you the Mars Djinni down. Chili becomes your ally right away! Give your thanks and exit Madora. ============================================== [22]. Sail Your Ship ============================================== +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ -------------- Find Your Ship -------------- It's time to backtrack to the ship you left behind. It seems that with the Black Orb, you can finally control it. Now it seems that it's not even Saturos'ss ship, it's more like Picard's ship! Go northwest of Madora, through one bridge, then north, through another bridge. Then go north a little bit and then to the east. You'll find the Dekan Plateau again, and the ship. Enter it. +++++++++++++ Near the Ship +++++++++++++ If you haven't been here before, Kraden will speak about Saturos and Menardi's ship. They think that this could be it. When you gain control, head south and to the right through all the shallow water. Get on the ship and examine the dragon door. Picard will appear with the Black Orb and open it. Now let's get inside and get the ship moving! +++++++++++++++ Inside the Ship +++++++++++++++ ---------------------------------- Destroy All the Enemies & Set Sail ---------------------------------- With a very nice inside and jolly music, the ship is infested with squid enemies. Once these enemies are defeated in battle, they transform into a water puddle, as sick as it may sound. You can then use the puddle to turn into an ice pillar. This is when Picard starts to lose a lot of Psynergy, because with over ten puddles and five PPs are used every time, you have to make sure you use them wisely, or else Picard won't be able to use his 'Frost', or heal, or whatsoever. Let's get started on the first enemy. From the entrance, go to the next door, and you'll immediately spot one. It won't attack you right away until you examine it. Each Aquajelly are weak against fire and have about 198-245 HP each, and each will reward you with 96 EXP and 99 coins. This first one, can be easily defeated with Felix's Ragnarok and another single attack. Once it turns into a water puddle, avoid it. There's no purpose for this one. Go straight down and defeat the next one if you want to get the treasure chest. Inside is a Potion that recovers all HP of one party member. Continue down the stairs and through the next door. There happens to be six Aquajelly all cluttered up! You can't reach them yet, so go right to the next door, and the door after that. It's another room filled with them. You can train and defeat them all if you desire to. Now, when all are defeated, except for the one at top, move the box to the very bottom right. Then use Picard's 'Frost' on the ones beside the box. You've now created a path you can use to jump across. After you've jumped across, go down to a door. Here, push the box until it falls, so you have a shortcut to go back. Go towards the right and enter the door. This room is a little bit harder, with all the pipes around the Aquajelly. Go up and climb down the ladder. Defeat the Aquajelly and use Picard's 'Frost'. Jump across using the new ice pillar and climb down the ladder to find the next target. Defeat it and use Picard's 'Frost'. Go up to the box and move it 1x to the west and 1x to the south. Now return to the beginning of this room. Climb down the ladder and defeat the Aquajelly. Use Picard's 'Frost' and jump to the other side of the room. Climb down the defeat the next Aquajelly. Use Picard's 'Frost', then go north and defeat the next one. Use Picard's 'Frost' once agian, then head to the beginning of the room. Go north, jump across, and jump further using the last few pillars you've created, including the box you moved earlier. Now at the north of the room, go down the ladder and defeat the second last Aquajelly and use Picard's 'Frost' afterwards. Why did I say second last when there were a whole bunch in the other room? You'll find out soon enough. Head back around and jump across to get to the door, then go through the next door after that. Immediately the last Aquajelly will flee and hide underneath a metal bridge. Go towards it and defeat it. Use Picard's 'Frost' and walk over the bridge. Enter the door, and the door after that. Now heal! Heal all your party members, and set your Djinni whatever way you please. Go down the steps and jump across using the boxes. You can only get to the middle Aquajelly. When you do examine it, they'll all gather, and combine into Aquahydra! This is one tough cookie, with an unbelievable amount of HP! For a start, attack it using all your Djinni, but make sure you use the Mercury Djinni Shade, as it creates a great protection and it is the very first to act, no matter the speed of the enemy or the party. Once all of the Djinni of an elemental group are on Standby, unleash your attacks! When they're resting to be set again, attack using Felix's Ragnarok and with your best Psynergy moves. Using a level three or four summon creates so much leathal damage, you wonder when the Aquahydra will go down. Its attacks include Douse, poison inflicting attacks, lowering your party's Defense status, and even tsunami waves. It's weak against fire, just like the Aquajelly. It has a whopping 2633-2794 HP. It'll give you 1251 EXP and 2095 coins only if you defeated it using a Mars Djinni (I defeated it using Mars Djinni Cannon). You'll recieve less if you didn't. It'll possibly give you a Douse Bubble when defeated. When you've defeated the boss, the room is 'Aquajelly-less', but the area you're in has filled in water. The treasure chest that appears underneath you is unreachable, unless Picard learns 'Dry' from Aqua Rock. That won't be for a while, but the item inside is a potion that recovers all your party's HP. Go left and up to the door, and through the door after that. Go south and down the ladder. In this cavern, go to the right pillar and move it on top of the water drop square. Then, use Picard's 'Douse' upon it to fill the top with water. The pillar will sink down, being identical with the opposite one. The door opens, now go inside. Run through the path until you reach the last doorway. Here, Picard will appear and take the Black Orb out. The room will light with gold and the ship moves! You've finally set sail, now we can journey to a lot more continents and islands! ============================================== [23]. Return to Kimbombo ============================================== -------------------- Options of Your Ship -------------------- There are many things that you can do with your ship, not only do you sail from continent to continent, but you can also fish for weapons, armors, items, and coins! Pressing 'A' will allow you to search in the water. You either find something or don't find something. Much later in the game, the ship will be upgraded, and you'll be able to soar through the air! If you find a wide river opening, you can squeeze through and still sail. Once you're in a river of a continent, you can jump off anytime you'd like, even if it isn't a beach. +++++ Ocean +++++ --------------------------- Find an Opening to Kimbombo --------------------------- You want to head towards the Gondowan Continent. Go to the north, then around the Indra Continent until you reach Gondowan. There is a small island between Gondowan and Indra, on it is a lone dock, with some people, a dog, a boat, and a small house. It isn't important now, but you'll be needed to visit the dog when you're in the trading sequence. Avoiding the island for now, to the left of the island are two beaches. Dock your ship at the larger one, then start running. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ Go west, and you'll find the Ming Mountains. Then to the north is Kimbombo. We now have to go inside the ladder that the Gamboma statue revealed, and learn the black magic that Gamboma and Akafubu spoke about. ++++++++ Kimbombo ++++++++ ------------------------- Get to Gamboma Once Again ------------------------- Remember to heal at the Inn if you feel a little woozy from traveling everywhere. Then, head to the north, then into Gamboma, by walking on its tongue and getting in. ++++++++++++++ Inside Gamboma ++++++++++++++ In the familiar room, head north. Keep going through the path and go down the elevator. Then keep going north until you reach the Gamboma statue, and the ladder. Climb down. ++++++++++++++ Gamboma Cavern ++++++++++++++ -------------------------------- Blow Away the Grass with Cyclone -------------------------------- Make sure you equip the Cyclone Piece to a character. First, we'll get a Venus Djinni. Go down and climb down the ladder. From the ladder, go just a little bit to the left, then immediately northeast, so you're beside the wall. Going north just a little bit past the two pieces of grass until you align yourself to be as close as you can be to the large path of grass in the northeaster room. It sounds very confusing, but if you use 'Cyclone' near that patch of grass, you'll reveal some sort of hole, then fly in the air being carried by a tornado, and get dropped in, and into a new room. When you drop, you'll drop right near the Venus Djinni. This one attacks, and is weak against wind, just like Kiss. It has about 451-585 HP and will become easily defeated if you inflict the Stun and Sleep status upon it using Blitz and Bouquet. After the battle, you'll recieve 360 EXP and 358 coins. Then, Mad joins your party, making an even number of elemental Djinni for your party! You should now have four of each element. Your charactes will be a lot more powerful if they have their own elemental Djinni, as in Felix having all Venus, and Jenna having all Mars. It'll just make things a lot easier! Now that's finished, slide down the slope, go down, go up the ladder, then to the right, then north, and through the stairs. Slide down the slope, and you'll find yourself at the beginning again. Don't move from where you slid down. Go left and use 'Cyclone' on the patch of grass, and you'll find another hole. You'll be taken down by the tornado. Here, go left, then north, then to the right where you'll find a doorway. In this area, there is a large patch of grass. If you use 'Cyclone' here, you'll uncover a Mint item. Now, go further north, then down the ladder. When you go south, you'll find a small patch of grass, using 'Cyclone' reveals a hidden puddle. Use Picard's 'Frost' upon it, then climb back on the ladder and jump over using the ice pillar. Then, when you go north, you'll find six pieces of grass, when you use 'Cyclone', it will reveal 6 puddles. They are not used for anything. Use Sheba's 'Reveal' in that area to reveal a hidden doorway. Here, you'll be near rushing water. Go left, then run across the river. Stop at the middle, and you'll be able to squeeze to the top when you run up. Keep finding a spot to squeeze through until you're at the highest point, where you see the water falling down. Go to the middle, go down, and make a direct 'U' to get to the very left of the river. Run along to the left, then use 'Cyclone' upon the grass to find a hidden puddle. Use Picard's 'Frost' to build up a pillar. Now head back to the beginning of the whole puzzle. Once you're at the beginning, where you first touched the water, run all the way across to the other side. Go to the left and climb the ladder, and jump across using the ice pillar you created. Enter the staircase. Climb down the ladder. The patch of grass that appears nearby includes a hidden plant monster once 'Cyclone' is used in the right spot. Sort of like a Mimic, it'll be good for experience. It's weak against fire and resistant to water. It has about 430-519 HP, and will give 321 EXP 347 coins, along with a Game Ticket. Continue up and up the ladder. The small Gamboma statue will speak to you, and will give you the black book that will grant the new Psynergy. This is also like the card you recieved in the Kandora Temple, your class will change and new Psynergy will be given to you. You can equip and de-equip it anytime. This place is finished, to get out quick, use Felix's 'Retreat'. You should appear on the tongue of Gamboma. Exit Kimbombo and get back to your ship! Don't forget to heal if you need to! ============================================== [24]. Travel to Champ ============================================== +++++ Ocean +++++ ---------------------------------- Travel to Champ - Home of Payayamu ---------------------------------- Our next destination is going to Champ, a small village on the coast of Angara. You've heard me right, the continent that you started in at the beginning of Golden Sun! It's a long way there from where you are, but you want to head northeast, past the Venus Lighthouse. Go right of the Venus Lighthouse, then directly north, where you'll find a fairly large beach. Keep going right, being right beside the beach, and you'll find Champ at the very end. +++++ Champ +++++ -------- Shopping -------- Sort of looks like Madora, with all the bright lights from the sky. Go north, and check out the shops. If you go inside the shop, the storekeeper has some pretty new artifacts. Watch out, the mace artifact with a red blast from the top is cursed. Cursed weapons cannot be de-equipped unless you go to a sanctum and pay for the fee. Even so, eqiupping it again will result in the same pattern. Though it is a powerful weapon, you'll be cursed in the battle as well. In battle, you'll be damaged if you use Psynergy. Though a lot of these weapons you can buy here are effective, there's some more powerful on in the next destination. If you're a rich traveler, buy everything here, otherwise, save 10,300 to get an awesome weapon for Felix or Picard. Pack up items and anything you'll need. Also stay at the Inn if you didn't at Kimbombo. ------------------------- Your Antagonists are Here ------------------------- It's surprising that Payayamu isn't the antagonist I'm speaking of. You won't meet him yet, until later in the game when you make a second visit to Champ and Alafura. Once you exit Champ, Alex will catch you from the north and speak with you. Then, eventually, Karst will join from the right. Then, lastly, Agatio appears from the left. Will they fight you? They don't. No fights with them until later in the game. After a very long speech from all of them, Agatio leaves. Then Karst. Alex starts to make a leave until Kraden gets upset. Sheba gets upset, then Alex leaves. After, Jenna gets upset. They all seem to be angry with Alex. Who wouldn't? Alex seemed like a good person until he suddenly is seen with Agatio and Karst, who are related to Saturos and Menardi! Before you leave yourself, go to the right and use Sheba's 'Reveal' in the circle of stones to find a treasure chest that contains a helmet. Now, off to the Galbas Island, which is at the very east, and quite far away from you! ******************* G. I S L A N D S ******************* ============================================== [25]. Open the Entrance to Aqua Rock ============================================== +++++ Ocean +++++ ---------------- To Galbas Island ---------------- It's a long path, but I'll try and make it sound quick. From Champ, go directly east until you can go no further. This means going to the edge of the world map! Then, go south following the falls to find the island. It may seem short, but it will be quite a path to take. Find your beach and go inside. +++++++++++++ Galbas Island +++++++++++++ ----------------------- Douse the Water Droplet ----------------------- Before you want to do this, you possibly want new weapons and armor. The most expensive weapon is pretty pricy - costing 10,300! It does up the attack a whole bunch for Felix and Picard, and it's also an artifact. There's a Jupiter Djinni here, but you can't get it until Felix has learned 'Sand', a Psynergy that allows you to burrow underground. Now, to the large water droplet statue, it's found right in the middle of the village, surrounded by water. Use Picard's 'Douse' upon it, and it will cause rain, and a rainbow color in the water surrounding it. You'll see the rainbow go from the river, into the ocean, and to Aqua Rock. The five green statues that would block your way into Aqua Rock is now pushed back. Now exit the Galbas Island and hop onto your ship, it's time to go to Aqua Rock! +++++ Ocean +++++ ------------ To Aqua Rock ------------ You should know where Aqua Rock is, after seeing the rainbow go towards it. Dock at the beach, and enter Aqua Rock! ============================================== [26]. Solve the Puzzles of Aqua Rock ============================================== +++++++++ Aqua Rock +++++++++ ----------------------------- Find Your Way Into the Inside ----------------------------- The green statues spitting water out are now pushed back. You may notice that the very right statue is tipping over towards the edge. You would want to use 'Slide' to knock it over, but nothing will happen. Go left, down, left, then up. Climb up the mountain, and before you go any further, wait for the water up above to stop for a while. Then quickly run to the left. Climb up, wait for the water to stop, then run to the right and climb up again. There will be two ways to climb, both with water running down. You can't go anywhere by going to the right side, so climb up the left. Wait for the water, then keep going. When you get to the part with two climbing ways, keep going left, towards the pillar. When you reach the top, use Felix's 'Move' to move it down, then push it in front of the mouth of the statue so no water will go down. Climb down and get to the other side of the pillar. Use Felix's 'Move' just one step away from the pillar, so you can move it to the right, pulling it towards yourself. You want to get the pillar to cover the mouth of the right statue. Now that no water is flowing through the right statue, climb all the way down, then take the right path to climb. Once at the top, go to the right and get carried by the rushing water. Then, don't move. Quickly go to the right without being carried off the cliff to get the treasure chest. It's a Nut, it can be useful in battles, instead of using Herbs. Get carried further down. Climb down the cliff, and use Picard's 'Douse' on the grey statue. Go to the left and get swept away. Stop, then quickly go to the right without falling futher south. Get swept away by the river you just created earlier using Picard's 'Douse'. Follow the one-way path until you find an identical water droplet statue. Use Picard's 'Douse' to cause rain, and you'll make the water you see here rushing up, instead of rushing down. If you go on top of that water, you'll get carried further into Aqua Rock. From the statue, go down, left, then up, where you'll find another climbing frame with water going down. Climb up the left path to get to a treasure chest, which contains an Elixir. Go to the right path to continue on. Be careful while climbing, time your movements right to get past the water that rushes down, and stops. Once you've reached the top, climb up and go left. Push the pillar over, then head back to the right. Climb up, and jump on the river. You'll get carried up, closer to the inside of Aqua Rock. Get to the right side of the river, then use Felix's 'Move' on the blue stones to create supports for you when you cross the next river. Go to the bottom stone, then cross. Go to the very top, and cross to get a treasure chest containing an Oil Drop. Climb up, and go to the left, and use Picard's 'Frost' on the water puddle. Go further up and use Picard's 'Frost' on the two puddles up north. Now head back down, go to the right, and climb up, and up again. Go towards the two ice pillars beside each other, and jump across to get this treasure. It's a weapon for Felix, Jenna, or Picard, and it brings your Attack by a whole lot. You can give it to Picard to make his Attack even with Felix and Jenna. Jump back across and head to the single pillar, and jump across this one. Climb down and run to the left. Climb down once and use Picard's 'Douse' on the water droplet statue to cause rain, and a new opening in the water. Climb down, and jump on top of it to enter the inside of Aqua Rock. ++++++++++++++++ Inside Aqua Rock ++++++++++++++++ ----------------- Solve the Puzzles ----------------- For Golden Sun players, this looks a lot like the Mercury Lighthouse. Go south to a new screen, then grab the Psynergy Stone right beside you. This is a massive puzzle, and you could get lost very easily. Try going to the right side, jump 1x to the right, 2x to the south, 2x to the right, then 2x to the north. Then go up the next door. Here, go north, and push the first pillar to the right. Go in between the two pillars, and use Felix's 'Move' to move the second pillar towards you. Then use Fellix's 'Move' again, except on the first pillar, and pull it towards you. Then go to the right side of the second pillar and use Felix's 'Move' to move it to the left. Climb up and get to the treasure chest using the two pillars. Inside is a Douse Bubble, that could help restore your HP. Continue down, and into the new doorway. Use Felix's 'Move' and move the one pillar to the right so it blocks the water from running down. The water will disappear and you'll be able to climb down. Use Picard's 'Frost' on all three water puddles. Use all three of them to get across and to a new doorway. Go south, then when you meet a two way path, go south first. Jump over the floating platforms and enter the doorway. You'll find a treasure chest which contains some Ice Powder, which can be used to attack with ice in a battle. Exit and return to the two-way path, then go north to the doorway there. Then go to the next doorway. Jump over to the left towards the water droplet statue and use Picard's 'Douse' upon it. It will create a bridge over the water. Walk through until the end. In the next puzzle, go to the left. Jump over all the platforms until you find yourself at the left side of a water spout. Use Felix's 'Move' on the pillar and push it away from you. It should cover the second water spout and should prevent water from leaking out. Go into the water to get pushed out. Go to the pillar that's covering the water, and go past it. Go through the path to reach the doorway. In this next puzzle, you'll find a grey statue and a water droplet. Before you use anything, climb down and push the furthest north pillar once to the right and once to the south. Then climb back up and use Picard's 'Douse' on the grey statue to fill up the bottom with water. Then use Picard's 'Douse' on water droplet statue to make the bridge across the water. Go through the doorway, then continue the path to another doorway, and the next one after that. You'll enter a purple crystal room, looking almost exactly like the one in Ayers Rock, and like Ayers Rock, it too, also has a large Psynergy Stone in the middle. You can't get to it yet, but go through the next doorway. Climb down, and run down, jump through the platforms, climb up, and to the next doorway. From where you are, go directly left and fall down the river, make sure you're heading towards the left, too. You should be on the other side of the river, and so continue down. Right before you start climbing down, go up about three steps, then go right a little bit. Get carried down and you'll stop at a rock, right near a pillar. Use Felix's 'Move' on it and move it away from you. Go back to the area where you went up about three steps from the climbing area, and go to the very right, and time yourself so you'll fall on to the top of the pillar you pushed. Then you'll reach the treasure chest, and inside contains another strange item, identical to the one you found in Ayers Rock. It's non-equippable, and it doesn't seem to have a use yet. Slide down the slope and enter the doorway. Jump through all the platforms, and continue to the right. Then jump over. Go to the left and enter the doorway. Climb down, then go up and climb up. Use Picard's 'Douse' on the grey statue to fill the room with water. It will cause the platforms to rise and you'll be able to cross with them. Get across, climb up, and go through the doorway. Jump on the platform, and keep going left. Through the doorway is another puzzle. First thing we'll do is get the treasure chest. Push the blue rock once to the left. Then use Picard's 'Frost' on the puddle, then use Picard's 'Douse' on the grey statue. Jump through until you reach it, inside is a very valuable Water of Life. It's very rare, and you can get only one in all the shops together, through the artifacts. It revives one character and restores all HP on that character. Felix should have Revive himself, due to all the Venus Djinni he currently has. Just make sure you don't sell this weapon, and you should save it until one of the hardest battles. Now, exit this puzzle and return to reset the whole thing. This time you want to push the blue rock all the way to the left, then use Picard's 'Douse' on the grey statue, then jump across all of the platforms to get to the next doorway. In this next path, jump across on all the platforms on the water, then use Felix's 'Move' on the pillar. Then push it all the way to the right. Continue up and into the doorway. Push the pillar all the way into the grey circle, then climb up and jump on to the pillar. Head north and through the doorway. Walk across the long tightrope and go all the way to the right. Jump on the platforms, then enter the next doorway. This puzzle is the same as the one you have encountered before, except a lot more harder. Here is how the blocks are aligned: Water Droplet 1. Move #2 up two spaces. Statue 2. Move #2 right eight spaces. | 9------End 3. Move #2 up two spaces. | | 4. Move #3 left two spaces. | | 5. Move #5 down three spaces. | | 6. Move #5 left two spaces. 1---2-3-4-5-6 7. Move #5 down one space. | | | | | | 7 8 Your final result should look like this: Water Droplet Statue | 9---2--End | | | | | | | | | 1---3---4---6 | | | | | | 7---5 Now, climb up, use Picard's 'Douse' on the grey statue to cause the water flowing, then use Picard's 'Douse' on the water droplet statue. The bridge should go through #1, #3, #2, #5, #4, #6, #2 to end. Walk across and you're through. Go through the next door and push the pillar down. Jump across and go up. Jump through the platforms and continue through. The treasure chest that you spot is a Mimic. You should have four of each element of Djinn. One blow from Thor and Meteor will take care of this enemy very quickly. You can get quite a lot of EXP and coins for this enemy, since most likely Sheba will attack with Thor first, then Jenna will attack with Meteor, Mimic's weakness, and finish it off. Continue through the path and to the next doorway. You'll be in the purple crystal room with the big Psynergy Stone, touch it to restore your Psynergy. Then continue on. You'll emerge from the waterfall and you'll be right near the next water droplet statue. Use Picard's 'Douse' on it, then it will create a bridge on both sides. Go to the left and grab the treasure chest, which contains some useful Pepper, that will increase a character's Luck status. Continue down, but don't go left. Jump on the platform at the south of you to get off the bridge. Get to the treasure chest, and recieve the Aquarias. Now, go to the left across the bridge and go all the way south. Take the left door other than the right. Here, go to the door that's closest to the green water spitting statue. This should be the door that you haven't been to yet. Place the Aquarias on top of the stone pillar and the water that appears before you will move to the side, revealing a path that leads to a secret door. Run through it, and enter. You're almost finished. Jump through all the platforms on the water, and get to the tablet. Examine it, and Picard will appear. This procedure should look familiar, as you've done the same thing for Sheba when she learned 'Reveal'. After all the light disappears, Picard will finally learn 'Dry'! It can be used in special spots to make the water disappear. You'll suddenly notice that the water rises to surround you. Now with Picard's 'Dry', you can make the water drained. Just stand right beside it, then use it. The water should disappear, then you should make your leave. There is one thing you need to snag before you entirely leave Aqua Rock. You need to grab a Mercury Djinni that sits nearby. Exit the whole area here, then go to the very right and enter the doorway. Climb up and go north. Out of the two doorways, go to the bottom one. Climb down, go right just before you walk on the water. Then go up until you meet against the wall. Quickly go right, then climb up. Head north and you'll spot the Djinni, taking a bathe in the water. Use Picard's 'Dry' on the statue spitting out the water, and all of it will disappear. Climb back down and grab your Djinni. This one attacks, unfortunately, make sure you save just in case this one runs away. You'll see many of Picard's Psynergy attacks, so make sure you heal at all times. If all of your Mars Djinni are Set, Jenna should have an ability like Wish and Wish Well, that heals all of your party's HP. Another alternative, but quicker strategy, is to follow the same strategy as you used against the Mimic you might've encountered earlier. Have all of Jenna and Sheba's Mars and Jupiter Djinni on Standby. Then attack with Thor and Meteor. After those turns, the Mercury Djinni is history. It will give you 571 EXP and 457 coins if you defeated it using Meteor. Once that's finished, Mellow joins your party, making five Mercury for Picard! Now, head back to the previous room, where you exited from the room that you placed the Aquaria on. Then head south, where you'll find a treasure chest in the water. Use Picard's 'Dry' on it, then climb down and get it. inside is a rusty sword, that cannot be equipped. Just keep that for a while and see what you can do with it later in the game. Now, you can exit by climbing up on the left side and leave. Exit all of Aqua Rock and the Galbas Island. ============================================== [27]. To Izumo and Gaia Rock ============================================== +++++ Ocean +++++ ------------------------ Nagivate to Jipan Island ------------------------ Now that Picard knows 'Dry', it'll become very useful in your travels. Though there is some time before you do use it anymore, there is yet another technique that needs to be learned. Your next destination is to Jipan Island. It is directly north of the Galbas Island. There are two in a straight line, as you can see in the map by pressing the 'R' button. The smaller one is closest to you, but that's not Jipan Island. It's the one further north, past the small island. Go there, dock your ship, and pay a little visit to Izumo. +++++ Izumo +++++ -------------------- Shopping and Resting -------------------- You should really check out the shop they have. You should have a lot of money by now, because of all the monster encounters in Aqua Rock. There is a great sword for either Felix or Picard, that's worth 10,000 coins. There will also be a lot of weapons and armors that you should be able to afford, and it will bring up your stats by a whole lot. Make sure you sell the weapons that you're not using, like the ones you've replaced when you found better ones while traveling. Rest at the Inn for 60 coins. If you use 'Cyclone' on the large patch of grass, just southeast of the village, near an old woman, you can find yourself two free Antidotes to take. Just northwest of the village, inside the house that has two men guarding the door, is a girl crying, because her love went to slay the dragon in Gaia Rock, and hasn't returned. You can't do anything for her, until you slay the dragon, rescue her love, and complete Gaia Rock, and that's where we're heading to right now. +++++++++ Overworld +++++++++ Gaia Rock is just northeast of Izumo, it's real easy to see. ============================================== [28]. Slay the Dragon of Gaia Rock ============================================== +++++++++ Gaia Rock +++++++++ ---------------------- Climb From the Outside ---------------------- Go north, right before you enter the large entrance. Then go directly left. Start climbing, then push the pillar over. Climb up further, then go to the right and climb down. Use Felix's 'Move' to move the pillar on top of the grey square. Go to the right, then climb down at the end. Return to the left, climb back up, and jump across using the pillar you pushed. Continue to the right, then climb up two times. To be Continued... --------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.

Now that the Mercury and Venus Lighthouses were lit, and the enemies were defeated by the main characters of Golden Sun, he now journeys with his sister Jenna, a hostage kept by Saturos and Menardi named Sheba, an Alchemy sage named Kraden, and an imprisoned man named Picard. =============== JENNA / JASMINE =============== Element: Fire (Mars) Home Town: Vale English Name: Jenna Japanese Name: Jasmine Information: Jenna is Felix's sister. She had thought Felix and her parents died in the storm three years ago in the village of Vale. Jenna lived in Vale in the care of the villagers until the day she and Kraden were held hostage by two fiends named Saturos and Menardi. Her friends were two of the main characters in Golden Sun named Isaac and Garet. When the Venus Lighthouse was lit, she and three more were swept away on the island of Idejema, lost at sea, until now. ===== SHEBA ===== Element: Wind (Jupiter) Home Town: Lalivero English Name: Sheba Japanese Name: Sheba Information: This young adept was taken hostage by the ruler of Tolbi, then taken by Saturos and Menardi to gain access to the Jupiter Lighthouse.

Suddenly his feelings have changed, and decided to follow Saturos and Menardi to light the lighthouses for power. Alex had then protected Jenna and Kraden when they were going to Idejema, but when he suddenly disappears, he has somewhat joined Karst and Agatio in their quest to stop those preventing the lighting of the lighthouse. Is he one of the good people? Or another of the evil side? Alex is very unknown. ===== KARST ===== Element: Fire (Mars) Home Town: The North English Name: N/A Japanese Name: Karst Information: One of the antagonists of The Lost Age, she is Menardi's younger sister.

He has always had faith in Isaac's decisions, and would be at his side for as long as life takes them. Sometimes Garet would speak without thinking, thus causing some very strange replies. Most of the time, Garet relies on Isaac's decisions. ==== IVAN ==== Element: Wind (Jupiter) Home Town: Kalay English Name: Ivan Japanese Name: Ivan Information: Ivan is the youngest out of the party in Golden Sun. His Jupiter powers are very useful, whether it be to read a person's mind, or to reveal hidden truths. Ivan was stuck in the town of Vault, due to the disappearance of the Shaman's Rod - a staff that Master Hammet, a person Ivan looks up to, owned. When Isaac and Garet helped them out, he decided to follow to help them on their quest, and freeing Master Hammet from his capture in the process, and he had succeeded. ========== MIA / MARY ========== Element: Water (Mercury) Home Town: Imil English Name: Mia Japanese Name: Mary Information: Mia is part of the Mercury Clan, protecting the Mercury Lighthouse from any enemy who wishes to light it, but she failed once Alex, Mia's apprentice, suddenly turned evil. The lighthouses require an adept of the same element to open up the entrance.

Now Karst, her younger sister, appears and attempts to light the lighthouses with Agatio, and get revenge for her sister's defeat as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Djinn Guide --------------------------------------------------------------------- ================= What is a Djinni? ================= Djinn are creatures that grant new and powerful types of Psynergy. They can do a lot of damage, and can summon monsters to help you in battle. While some Djinni can be in plain sight, the others are found by solving puzzles or locating hidden areas. Djinn will join your party right away, but if they have their doubts, you'll have to take them on a battle. Win and the Djinni will join your party. If they run away during a battle, leave the area and come back, they'll be waiting in the same spot. There are a total of 72 Djinn in the game, 9 for each character, 18 of each element -- Earth, Fire, Wind and Water. Once all of them are gathered, something mysterious happens... =============== Monster Summons =============== If you have more than 1 Djinn of a certain element, they can summon gigantic monsters that do a ton of damage. This chart shows the 16 monsters you can summon using 1-4 Djinni of a certain element, including some mixes using the combo tablets found in the game. --------------- Regular Summons --------------- =# of Standbys= =Earth= =Fire= =Wind= =Water= 1 Venus Mars Jupiter Mercury 2 Ramses Kirin Atlanta Nereid 3 Cybele Tiamat Procne Neptune 4 Judgment Meteor Thor Boreas For pictures, check out this page: http://planetnintendo.com/goldensun/screenshots/djinn ------------- Combo Tablets ------------- NOTE: There are many more summons, these are just the ones I have obtained and witnessed. =Standby Djinn Needed= =Name= =Description= 1 Venus, 1 Mars Zagan This beast appears in a blast and smashes the enemies using its large axe-hammer 1 Mars, 1 Jupiter Megaera Two swords stabs the enemies from the sky, and explodes revealing an angel-like woman afterwards 1 Venus, 1 Jupiter Flora In the sky, flower pedals appear to reveal a beautiful angel-like woman, and she gathers the pedals to form a circle and attacks the enemies with them 2 Mercury, 1 Jupiter Moloch Snow falls from the sky, revealing a dog-like beast, a snow blast is then shot out of its mouth at the enemies 2 Mercury, 3 Jupiter Eclipse A large dragon appears in the night sky, and prepares for a large blast, the blast is very similar to Judgment's For pictures, check out this page: http://planetnintendo.com/goldensun/lostage/screenshots/summons =============== Set and Standby =============== There are 2 settings linked Djinn could be in, Set and Standby. Each Djinn have a special power. A Set Djinni is when it is ready to use its power in battle. Once you've used that power, it automatically goes into Standby. Djinn in Standby mode can summon monsters, but when you do, you'll lose some of your stats, attacks, and maybe change to another class, until the Djinn is Set again. Djinn work best with characters of the same elements, like the Earth Djinn working best with Felix. On the Djinn screen, Djinn in red text means that they are in Standby mode, white text means that they are Set, and yellow text means that they are recovering from summoning monsters. You can press 'R' on the Djinni to Set or Standby, except for recovering Djinni. =============== Djinn Locations =============== ----------- Venus Djinn ----------- Duo - Appears on the World Map after you go through Delhi. Iron - Appears in a random battle at the west of Madora. Kiss - Found inside the Gamboma statue. ------------- Mercury Djinn ------------- Fog - Found in the Kadora Temple, 'Release' is needed.

Boss Guide --------------------------------------------------------------------- ============ Blue Apes x3 ============ HP - ???? Type - Water Weakness - Fire Resistance - Wind The larger Ape has a lot more HP than the smaller ones beside it. Use your party's Psynergy to attack and inflict a large amount of damage. When using Psynergy that attacks all three, make sure you have the larger arrow on the middle ape. If your HP is running low, use Felix's Cure, or any Herbs that are equipped on your party members if you haven't already. Don't forget about the Earth Djinni Duo. You can unleash its power upon the middle ape, or if you have done that already, unleash Venus upon all three. After a few turns, you will be able to do it again. These apes are resistant to Sheba's Jupiter Psynergy, but are weak against Jenna's Mars Psynergy. For her, use the last Psynergy she has. One thing you should note, is that these apes know how to use items! They will use Herbs on each other whenever HP becomes low. Contiue these tactics, and the apes will be defeated. ============= King Scorpion ============= HP - 1024 - 1071 Type - Earth Weakness - Fire Resistance - ???? Unleash a fury of Djinni and summons, they will do lots of damage. Sheba attacks first, and Felix attacks last, yet he has curative Psynergy, and the scorpion attacks before Felix makes a move. If Sheba is hurt, let her use her own Herb if she has them, and let Felix heal himself. Just make sure that none of your party members fall, you won't be able to revive them until you reach a sanctum that is found in villages and in towns. The battle shouldn't take you long, keep slashing it with your Djinni and it should be finished quick. ==================== Payayamu and Pirates ==================== HP - ???? Type - Human Weakness - Earth/Fire/Wind/Water Resistance - N/A This battle is a little tricky, because Payayamu has a special technique that calls more pirate members to join the battle. The thing you should do is knock him out first. They are weak against all elementals, so unleash anything you have, whether it be Psynergy, Djinni, or summons, they will do a lot of damage. Make sure when attacking all the enemy's party, that you have the larger arrow on Payayamu, or single Psynergy works well. The battle starts with one pirate member, but in the battle, Payayamu will eventually call more members. Prevent a whole army of them by wiping Payayamu, like I stated before. You will be glad when you defeat him. ========= Aquahydra ========= HP - 2633 - 2794 Type - Water Weakness - Fire Resistance - Jupiter This is one tough cookie, with an unbelievable amount of HP! For a start, attack it using all your Djinni, but make sure you use the Mercury Djinni Shade, as it creates a great protection and it is the very first to act, no matter the speed of the enemy or the party. Once all of the Djinni of an elemental group are on Standby, unleash your attacks! When they're resting to be set again, attack using Felix's Ragnarok and with your best Psynergy moves. Using a level three or four summon creates so much leathal damage, you wonder when the Aquahydra will go down. Its attacks include Douse, poison inflicting attacks, lowering your party's Defense status, and even tsunami waves. It's weak against fire, just like the Aquajelly. It has a whopping 2633-2794 HP. It'll give you 1251 EXP and 2095 coins only if you defeated it using a Mars Djinni (I defeated it using Mars Djinni Cannon). You'll recieve less if you didn't. It'll possibly give you a Douse Bubble when defeated. More information when the English version is released. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.

Combo Tablets --------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================= What are Combo Tablets? ======================= Combo Tablets are found all over the the world in The Lost Age. They are not easily found, but they can provide you new and powerful monster summons when used with Djinn. They can mix two elements together making a stunning display of power and new strategies of attacking the enemies! ====================== Combo Tablet Locations ====================== More information when the English version is released. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. FAQ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Q. How many players are available in The Lost Age? A. 8 Q. How many Djinn are in the game? A. A whopping 72! Q. Are there really Light, Dark, and Psy Djinni? A. No! They were just rumors. Q. What happens when you transfer data from Golden Sun? A. Weapons, characters, and much more are sent to the Lost Age, they can then be used for special parts of the game. Q. Are there transportation Djinni? A. Nope, they were just rumors. Q. Where is Picard? He escaped from jail but now I can't find him! A. That part can be found in the walkthrough. If you can't find it, here are the steps to reach him! 1. Go west of Madora, and through the Continental Crossing. 'Scoop' is needed to get through. Make sure you get the Djinni here! 2. Once through, go north to find a native village. You can buy weapons and all of the sort, but once you're done, head further north. 3. There is a mountain pass here. Sneak in without the guards noticing to reach the end. 4. Now you're on the other side. Go further north, until the sky gets dark. Enter the village, and sneak in. 5. You'll find out there is a ceremony in place. Picard can be spotted here. Q. How can you transfer data to Golden Sun: The Lost Age? A. Two ways, by password or by link cable. On the black screen in Golden Sun, hold L, R, Directional Left, then press 'B'. It will bring up a new 'Send' option, by clicking there, you'll be asked if you want to transfer by password or link cable. If you have a link cable handy, and another GBA, just link them up and the data will be transferred easily. By clicking on Password, you'll be asked if you want to choose Gold, Silver, or Bronze. Gold will transfer the most data, but requires a six-paged password. Bronze transfers the least data, but only requires a few pages. Capitals count, copy down the code, then when you start a new game on Golden Sun: The Lost Age, input the password to transfer your data. Q. Is Isaac playable? A. Yes, when you reached the top of the Jupiter Lighthouse and have completed it. Q. Is the Mars Lighthouse accessable? A. Yes Q. I can't find it on the map, I think you lied! A. One thing's for sure, it's not on the map. Think of the most obvious place it would be... Q. I don't know where to get/learn Lift!! A. Don't worry, Garet carries it with him when he joins your party. Q. How come you can't get 'Force'? A. You can only get 'Force' if you transferred your clear data in Golden Sun. If not, Ivan won't even know the technique. It is not used for any importance, but it is used to get the remaining Djinn. Q. When are you going to update your Walkthrough?? A. Please, be patient, my friends! These are actual questions from people who have e-mailed me. The question is refrased to make it acceptable to read. Have a question? My e-mail is listed further towards the end of the walkthrough. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 11.

About the Author --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello to all that is reading this, my name is Cindy. My alias in the internet can be seen as either Cinder or Cinderquil. (mostly it's Cinder nowadays) I want to be indepenedent on my work and not fully depend on others to do it for me. It's not that I want 100% credit, I want to show myself as a reliable person and work hard for the future, without depending on other people. That's good, isn't it? Though many people send in missing Psynergy, or other information about the game, I do not want to accept it. This results in upsetting replies back to the senders, and hate mail sent back to me. If you were one of these people, please forgive me. I have had Golden Sun Realm since the middle of January 2002. I am really proud of it! Sometimes I have to ask for help, and that's when all the e-mails start to flow in. Friends that I know so well, I recieve help that really makes me feel much more better. I have quite a few projects to finish, so I'm always busy. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 14.
