A) See the Djinn section or search for a particular Djinn name in the walkthrough by pressing Control + F on a PC. Q) What are those numbers in parentheses after "go back from whence you came." A) These numbers are some stupid joke that the author of the FAQ through in that count the number of times up until then that he has used that phrase. Anyone else notice I'm talking in the third person point of view? Q) Can I get back to Vale, Vault, etc. later in the game? A) Yes, look at the section Vale...again and a few of the sections before it. Q) What do I do with Game Tickets and Lucky Medals? A) Game Tickets are used for a game in Tolbi. The game is one of the ones near the fountain, I believe. Lucky Medals are also used in Tolbi in the fountain coin throwing game. Q) I have a question not answered here. How can I ask one? A) E-mail me at [email protected] Q) How do you get those nuts in the trees? A) Thanks to [email protected] for this information: Use the Catch Psynergy on the trees that contain nuts in order to get them. Nuts are quite helpful in the early part of the game. Q) Who is Robin? A) The default Japanese name for the main character. Q) How do I Mind Read the monk? Whenever I go up to him and want to bring up my menu I just talk to him. A) Press Select or set Mind Read as a hot key button. Q) Where do I get the Cloak Ball? A) It's on Babi's Desk next to his bed. You can get this after you talk to him after winning Collosso. Q) What things do I need before entering Crossbone Island? A) You need the Cloakball, the Halt Gem (not required), and the Carry Psynergy. Q) What level do your characters learn their last spells? A) Somewhere around 54 if you're at the right classes. Look for an in-depth FAQ on Class Changes for more information. Q) How do I get the pink tornado that goes to Crossbone Island back if I accidently use Douse on it? A) You have to head out of Suhulla, and when you re-enter it will be back. Q) Is there any advantage to going to Crossbone Island from the ship to Tolbi Docks? A) No, you can't go very far in there without Cloak, Carry and Halt. Q) I heard this code that if you tap the R button 3 times then the B button 7 times finally the A button 5 times and you'll hear a click and all of your charaters have infine PP. Where do I do this? A) This code is BS and doens't work. However, there are a few Game Shark codes avalible at http://www.gameshark.com/gameboyadvance/objects/379896_106.html that can give you infinite PP, although the game is less fun to play when you cheat. Q) What is the correct way to pronounce "Djinn"? A) Well, Djinn is from, I believe, Arabic and it means Genie. So, the singular form of Djinn (Djinni) is Genie, leading me to believe Djinn is pronounced like the alcoholic drink "Gin." Here's some updated information from Taz 2012 on the dictionary defintion: jin�ni or jin�nee also djin�ni or djin�ny (http://www.atomica.com/lookup2/pronkey.html) n., pl. jinn also djinn (jin http://www.atomica.com/lookup2/pronkey.html). In Muslim legend, a spirit often capable of assuming human or animal form and exercising supernatural influence over people. [Arabic jinn?, demonic, demon, from jinn, demons, from janna, to cover, conceal.] Q) Can you give me the Rom of Golden Sun? A) No, I do not support roms and/or emulation. Go pay for the game you lousy cheapskate. Q) How do I get Growth? A) Equip 1 Fire Djinni on Isaac or 1 Earth Djinni on Garret to have the spell growth (see the Leveling and Characet Classes Section) Q) I missed Force! What do I do? A) You don't actually need force to accomplish anything in the game. However, you do need to enter the cave in Fuschin Temple in order to get the Djinni Zephyr, and without Force you don't get the Xian sidestory. However, if you don't have force you can still go through Mogall Forrest, and Garret will kick the log in Altimer Mines instead of you using Force on the tree stump. Anyways, if you missed Force, keep going to Kalay, then head north across the bridge to reach Vault again. Retrace your steps to Fuschin Temple, and see the Walkthrough about getting Force. Q) Is it true that no one really asks these questions, but you like to make it appear as if people talk to you? A) Quiet you... plus, this question was actually asked. Give Kevin Mofo and e-mail at [email protected] for further information. Q) What is the best way to contact you? A) I prefer e-mail via [email protected]. I dislike pepole instant messaging me, but I usually will ask questions via AIM if you're direct, to the point, don't talk in big type, don't have a colored background on your text, don't talk in all caps, use reasonably good grammar and don't do a lot of chit chat. I will also not go to chat rooms for help. Instant Message me at screenname: ikillkenny. Also, posting a question on the Golden Sun boards at www.gamefaqs.com is a good way for me or someone else to get an answer to your question. Q) What exactly does the Mystery Blade do? A) I don't recomend using the Mystery Blade because it's not very powerful. Occasionaly Mystery Blade will let out Life Nourish which has a chance of restoring a little bit of health to the character that its equipped on. Q) I saw this code on the GameFAQ's Message Board: I don't know if this has been found out yet but I'll tell you how to get her. In order to get her to join your party you need the cursed emerald necklace. To get the necklace you need to go to Tolbi springs and win it from the fountain. I would advise you to get as many lucky medals as possible and save before you start tossing them. The odds of getting it are probably less then 1%. It took me about 300-350 tosses(I lost count). When I did win it, the medal bounced 3 times( once of crab and twice of the turtles)and it landed in the middle. Unfortunately this happened to me before and I didn't get so I'm guessing this just increased your chances of getting it. Anyway when you get the cursed emerald necklace, go back to Xian and talk to Feizhi. She will say"Where did you find my necklace?" Give it to her and then she'll join your party. You have to alternate between characters since you can only have four at a time. The best thing about her is she can equip all cursed weapons and she won't be cursed(with or without the clerics ring)!!!! A) This is a BS code started by an idiot I don't want to give the credit of naming. Q) I'm having trouble getting across the sand waterfalls. How do I do it? A) You need to hold the B button (aka run), the direction you're going and up on the D-Pad. This should keep you from falling down. Q) What is the maximum level that you can get to? A) You can get to Level 99, but I've only heard of anyone getting to this level with a Gameshark. In theory you could level up this high, but it's not worth it because it would take an insane amount of time and you stop learning spells in the mid-50s. Q) How do I get the Bastard Sword? A) You can't get the Bastard Sword as it was changed from its earlier name to the Bandit's Sword (or maybe the Assasian's Blade. I've heard two different accounts). Plus, you don't want it anyways (in the manual there's a screenshot of it doing about 7 damage) later in the game. Q) When I go to load my save, it says "Corrupt Data. Would you like to save from the last sanctum?" What does this mean? A) This means that somehow the power went out when you were saving the game (either you turned it off or the batteries ran out.) Luckily you can still play (as oppossed to other games where all of yoru data is gone), although you may be missing some of your items potentially. Q) When should I turn off my Game Boy Advance to avoid getting a Corrupt Data save file? A) I recomend not going for longer than 30 minutes after the light starts turning red or you risk losing power during a save which could be devastating. Q) Is it possible to get to Lemuria or Hesperia in this game? A) No, you'll just have to wait for the sequel ;-[. Q) When is Golden Sun 2 coming out? A) It will be out June 2002 in Japan, and will be out by Christmas 2002 in the United States. Q) Do you know of any secret codes or secret information on Golden Sun 2? A) Anything I know is in this FAQ. I don't hold anything back from the readers. See some other FAQs at my Quick Tips Section: http://comicsoft.hypermart.net/gsa/quicktips.html ============= CHAPTER 2: INTRODUCTION ============= ------ About This FAQ ------ This FAQ (short for Frequently Asked Questions which you should already know) should be a helpful guide to anyone stuck and wanting tips for the Gameboy Advance game Golden Sun. This FAQ was written by me, Ikillkenny, for use on Gamefaqs.com and my web site Golden Sun Anonymous (see the link in the header). I wrote this FAQ because I love Golden Sun and I wish to help others playing it. If you'd like to contribute to this FAQ, give me an e-mail at [email protected]. For easy navigation to the chapters, hold Control and hit F (when you're on Windows anyways) in your browser window and type in the chapter you want to go to. For example, type in CHAPTER 3 to go to the walkthrough chapter. |
| ============ CHAPTER 3: GAMEPLAY ============ ------ Controls ------ D-Pad: Select choice Menus/Battle/Conversation: A: Yes/Confirm/Next L, R: Next B: No/Back Walking: D-Pad: Move A: Talk To Someone/In-game Menu Select: In-game Menu Start: Pause Menu L, R: Use preset command B: Run/Back Notes: Golden Sun's controls are pretty straightforward and you shouldn't have any problem with them. ------ Regular Play ------ A good deal of Golden Sun is spent in regular play, where your character is walking around performing certain tasks within towns, forests or dungeons. In regular play, you can talk with different people, use psynergy that will have effects on the map (for example: using Move will move a rock out of the way), and move around accomplishing whatever goal you may need to achieve. When you're outside of protected towns or villages, each step you take will have a small chance of a random enemy coming up, unless that attempt is thwarted by obtained a feather or something to that extent. ------ World Map ------ The World Map operates much like Regular Play, except there won't be any people to interact with or villages to explore. Instead, the World Map (which is available once the first temple has been beaten) allows a player to move from one place to another quickly due to the greater scale of movement (you'll notice that your character is more pixilated because he is zoomed in on more.) You will be able to go through trees, but not over water or mountains. Random battles occur here, too. ------ Battle Screen ------ The battle screen, like most other RPGs, is a separate screen from the regular game window where you and your allies fight various enemies that come along. You will have the option of picking what attack, item, etc. each character uses and on who before each round of attack. Generally your faster characters will attack first, then the enemy will attack, then your slower characters will attack. This cycle is repeated until you or the enemies are dead. There are several important things to look out for in the Battle Screen. Each character has HP which represents how much health he has left, and PP which represents how much psynergy he or she has left. When HP runs out, that character will die and can only be brought back by an item that revives, or a Djjin that has a revive move. When PP runs out, a character can no longer use Psynergy attacks with psynergy requirements greater than what is left. PP can be restored by finding energy stones. ------ Villages ------ Inside each village there are several things to look out for. The first is an Inn where you can rest for a small charge and replenish all of your party's HP and PP (note: this doesn't affect passed out characters who have no HP left.) To revive a character, cure a poison or a bad spell, look for a Sanctum which is a building with an old man in it (note: If all of your party members die in battle, you'll end up in the last one of these you visited.) For a larger fee than what you paid in the Inn, you will be able to get treated with the things listed before. Other important buildings include the Armor and Weapons shops where you can buy the latest and greatest attack and defensive boosts for your characters. I recommend getting the most expensive weapons and armor that you can afford for each character in each town, because it is very important. Also in each town is a shop where you can buy items, but this is not a very important shop because you should have plenty of the items that the lady sells from random battle collections. ------ Djinn ------ These little characters probably made their way into the game thanks to the success of Nintendo's Pok�mon, but they are a very welcome addition. Djinn are collected usually by battling them (they usually put up a pretty good fight) when you encounter them in the wild. A Djinn has the power to alter a character's stats, moves and even his or her type. Djinn are useful because they expose different abilities in different characters, so mix and match between characters to find the best combination for your situation. When Djinn are on standby, a character can summon an extremely powerful elemental attack that uses the power of many Djinn's combined to inflict strong blows on the enemy. If you fight a Djinn and it runs, head out of the screen and come back to fight it again. There are 28 total Djinn located in a variety of places along the map. Use this FAQ to find the Djinn as you go along, or in the future use this section as a stand alone to find where the Djinn are. And now, Baby M's Djinn Guide (exclusive to this FAQ): Golden Sun Database Guide by Baby M-Version 2.01 1. Thanks OK everyone, thank you to Camelot/Nintendo for making the game and me for my amazing RPG skills, and other web sources. 2. Copyright I copyright this database�that means you can put it on your site or whatever provided you DON�T ALTER IT IN ANY WAY (That means KEEP MY NAME ON IT!!!). Baby M is a worker of Mario Nursery, a subdivision of the division of Useless Products Inc., which is a division of SushiWorld. Please send mail regarding SushiWorld or any of its divisions/subdivisions to: SushiWorld Tower Main Tower of Crystal Street Kirby�s Dream Land-The closest thing to Heaven in your mortal life. 3. The Guide Well�here it is. Part 1-The Djinn Djinn are vital to your quest. When I was constantly being wiped out at Venus Lighthouse, I went back and got all the Djinn I missed. My HP nearly doubled, my Psynergy was much stronger, and my stats were greater! Don�t skip a single Djinni-you�ll regret it later if you do! Set and Standby-some of the simplest yet toughest strategy decisions you�ll make in your RPG gaming life. To get the great stats, you must put your Djinn on set. So why, you ask, would you put them on Standby? The answer is summoning. When you summon, a great being will come out and make a great attack on your opponent. Your Djinni won�t be able to be on Set or Standby after being summoned until it has recovered. Summons can be anything from the weakest summons (yet still powerful) such as Mars and Venus to the amazingly powerful wraths of Judgment and Boreas. Experiment a bit�and save a lot! ALSO: Save before you try to get a Djinni. Some might run away! Earth Djinn 1.) Summon 1 Earth=Venus 2 Earth=Ramses 3 Earth=Cybele 4 Earth=Judgment 2.)

Bane-Attacks w/ Venom-???-He�s in Crossbones Isle Cave. You will need the Cloak Ball, and several other things. First, go to the place where you got Flash, the Fire Djinni.

Whirlwind-Blow away leaves-5 PP-Ivan also knows this, as long as you don�t give him Djinn besides Wind Djinn. Frost-Turn Puddle into Pillar-5 PP-Mia should automatically know it, but you can also get it from beating the first water statue thing at Altin Peak.

| Walkthrough |
| The walkthrough has been split into parts for easier navigation. This walkthrough was made by ikillkenny. |
| ------ Lamarkan Desert ------ When you first enter Lamarkan Desert you'll notice something different. There is a heat bar on the left, and if it reaches the top you will lose about 1/4 of your health on all the characters. To make the heat bar go down, you must find Oasases which are pulls of water surrounded by a circle of rocks. In order to find these pulls of water you'll need to use reveal. However, some of the rocks are traps, so use reveal when you're well away from them or you risk getting sucked into one and fighting a difficult monster. Head along the path for a while until you reach the first circle of rocks. Use reveal on this to reveal a pool of water that you should jump into. Continue along the path and at the first branch off go up it to find another rock circle that has water in it. Head northwest up the narrow path, and take the eastern path over the western one. Don't go in the rock circle at the beginning of this path because it contains a crab ready to attack you. Instead, continue along in that direction to find a rock circle after the path starts heading north that contains much needed water. After cooling down, continue up to reach the next screen. This screen is much more open than the other screen, so you have to know which way to go. Stay south, finding in the first rock group a treasure box with a potion in it and in the next one a pool of water. After cooling down, head north a little and go around the cliff there. Shortly after going around that cliff you'll find another pool, this one containing a water hole. Just northwest of there is the entrance to the next zone. However, don't go there quite yet, as we have a Djinn to get! Head all of the way north and the start heading east. You're not going to be able to get enough water to sustain yourself, so be prepared to do some healing. Once you get to the eastern wall, head one group of stones south then start heading back West. You'll see a rock formation that has a full circle with a semi-circle on its side (it looks like this: c0) In the small semi-circle you'll find the Jupiter Djinn Smog, who you'll get without a battle. Now, start making your way back north, then keep heading west until you get to the wall where you'll want to head south. Once you can move left to the next screen do so, and you'll find yourself in an area with several sand waterfalls. Simply run across these sand waterfalls to the other side and they won't cause much trouble. Keep your bearings along that trail until you reach a "dead end" with a sand waterfall where you'll want to use Reveal to reveal a hidden door to a cave entrance. Head around this cave and come out the other side. Cross the sand waterfalls and get ready for a tough boss battle. Here you'll see another "dead end", but before using reveal save your game! Now, use reveal on the sand waterfall to expose Manticore, who will scare you off. Approach him, press A and get ready for battle. As always use all of your summons against him right off the bat to inflict major damage. You have to watch out, though, as Manticore attacks twice every turn. So, you'll definitely want to just use Ply and Ply Well with Mia each turn (if you have Wish or Wish Well you will want to use that instead of Ply and Ply Well). As always, use Ragnarok with Isaac, use regular attacks with Garet, and use Plasma and occasionally impact on Isaac with Ivan. Manticore has some pretty lethal attacks that pack a whollop even after the initial attack has been done. Watch out for his pesky poison and curse attacks that will take health away from you each time that character attacks. If a character is poisoned, have Mia use Cure Poison on him, and use a healing item or Isaac's heal on that character to keep him alive. Manticore has about 1500-1800 HP, so don't expect to beat him in the second round as you may done with previous bosses. As long as all of your party members stay alive you should be able to squeak past Manticore. When you beat him you'll get a load of coins, a Psy crystal and you'll be able to pass through the hidden passage that he was blocking thanks to Reveal. Head through the tunnel going through the linear path. Head out of the door to get back on the world map. Head due north for a little, then cross a bridge to reach a small island. On this island is a new Djinn that you'll encounter in a random battle. Defeat him to get Vine, the Venus Djinn. Now, head south and cross the bridge going west. Continue going west until you reach the town of Kalay. ------ Kalay ------ Kalay is just bustling with tourists who are eager to board the ship at Kalay Docks that's heading towards Collosso. Head to the inn and buy the latest weapons and armor as usual. Once you're done with that, head to the north part of the town and up the stairs to reach Lord Hammet's castle. The guards won't let you in at first, but the Ivan (remember, he was originally Lord Hammet's servant) will persuade the guards to let you in. You then go meet with Lady Lana and engage in an exciting (sarcasm alert) emotiocon conversation with her. She talks about how she can't declare war on Lupna or they will kill Lord Hammet. Once she's done talking the talk (which, by the way, will take a very long time) head out of the castle and down the castle stairs. Head into the inn, but instead of taking a rest talk with *everyone* in the inn in all of the floors of it. Now, head out of the inn and out of town. But before you can leave the tour guide summons everyone up and in a very pointless and very long conversation the tourists will finally make their way to Kalay Docks where the ship to Tolbi will be. Once that's all over, head out of town and start heading north. You'll reach the bridge that was broken earlier when Lord Hammet tried to cross it with his caravan before heading to Lupna. Now that the bridge is fixed, freely cross over it and the bridge just north of it to find yourself back in Vault. In most of these old towns there are now Djinn to get that you couldn't get before. ------ Vault...Again ------ Head to the northwestern part of vault and go up the stairs there. Continue past the graves and over the bridge. Keep going counterclockwise until you reach a large tower where you should climb up. Ring the bell on this tower to have the Djinn jump to the ledge to the east. Now, head clockwise back around the town until you get to a bunch of graves with a dog near them. Use reveal on this area to expose a secret ladder in the middle of the graves that leads to the Vault caves. Head down this ladder, and don't fight the treasure chest that you see immediately because it's actually a Mimic. Instead, head west and then north and go through the door. The next room you'll enter has some water in it with several underwater doors and ladders. Head east and then go down the stairs to find a room with a movable torch. Move this onto the Flame square on the ground to open the gate there. Head through the door to find a room with a *lot* of water drops in it. Head north to find a door obstructed by a group of leaves. Use Ivan's Whirlwind Psynergy to open up this door. In here there's a treasure chest that has an item that will boost your attack when equipped, which is quite useful. Head back down and climb down the ladder. Freeze all of the water drops here expect for the eastern most drop, then head back up the ladder. Hop across all of the ice pillars you just made and enter the next room. In this room head down the one ladder and then up the ladder to the left of it. Head into the door, then go east a little and up the stairs. Flip the switch here to force the water into the room you were just in with the two ladders. Head back into the previous room and go down the stairs in the south part of that room. Go down the stairs again to find a room with several torches. Push the torch that has a flame on it on the flame switch to open the gate. Now, go through the gate and through the door. Take the stairs to the west and continue south through this room. You'll now be able to go down the ladder that once was drowned by water. Do so and proceed through the door into the next room. In here hop over the gap and up the ladder. Go to the next room and out the door to find yourself right under the Djinn. Go up the stairs to get the Venus Djinn Sap without a battle. Head back into the cave and use retreat to go back to the beginning. Climb up the ladder and then proceed out of Vault. ------ Bilibin Cave...Again ------ While there are not any Djinni in Bilibin Cave, there is are some useful items. Head northeast of Vault to find this cave. Here's a description from Thomas Kim [[email protected]] on a good way to get a few items: "Enter the cave from the normal entrance. In the room with ice pillars, use douse on the fire that's not on a pillar. An ice column should automatically form. Exit the cave from the entrance you came in, and then take the alternate entrance (the one after climbing the vine). Where the open treasure chest is, use Reveal where the suspicious stone formation is and a door will appear. Use douse on the fire in the next room. Now you should be back in the ice pillar room. Go left and jump towards the ledge on the left side of the screen and proceed to the next door. Inside, you will get a water of life and Psy crystal. If you decide to head back towards the lighthouse, you can get Herme's Water again. You can use Herme's Water like a potion or sell it for extra cash." Once you're done with this task, head back towards your home town of Vale (located to the west incase you forgot.) ------ Vale...Again ------ Yes, there is a Djinn in your home town as well. However, before you go get this Djinn go get a power bread that's located in a cave behind the Shop in town. You'll need to use Ivan's Whirlwind Psynergy on this (equip just Wind Djinn on Ivan to get this Psynergy) bush blocking the entrance. Thanks to Michael Sutton ([email protected]) for this tip. Now, go west from Vault across the bridge, then go north to find yourself back in Vale. The Djinn in Vale is in the far western part of town, behind the fenced in area next to Kraden's house. So, climb up the staircases then start making your way west across the bridge. When you get to the fence next to Kraden's house you'll notice a large, brown rock. Guess what, it's time to use that Lift Psynergy (!) Lift up the rock and proceed north to the next screen and then into the cave. Head north as soon as you get into the cave and you'll notice a circle of stepping stones on your left. At first it appears it's impossible to cross these stepping stones, but a true RPG gamer knows that rarely are there complete dead ends in RPGs. So, use your Reveal Psynergy to reveal a hidden square in the middle and hop across to the other side. Climb up the ladder and go through the door. In this room jump across the stepping stones and hop onto the platform to the west. Face the large box and move it into the water to create a makeshift stepping stone that you can use to jump to the log above you. Roll this log all the way east go through the door here. In this room take the western path and head north. Keep following the path all the way until it gets to a door. Go through the door and push down the logs on either side into the river. Now, slide down the cliff via the indentation on the western cliff and push the horizontal log north. It will slide across the two logs and allow you to hop to the ledge to the north. Proceed along the hallway until you get to the next room. In here you'll see the Djinn you're after. There's also another very important item that you'll need to get another Djinn *much* later in the game, along with this Djinn, the Halt Gem that's in a treasure just right after you climb the ladder to the north of the door. Once you get the gem, head south towards the Djinn who will slide down the cliff. Follow him and he will continue to run away. So, head down the cliff and use the Halt Psynergy that you get by equipping the Halt Gem on the Djinn. This will freeze him in his place, and simply go up to him to get Kite, a Jupiter Djinn. Head through the door and continue south eventually getting out of the cave. Before you head back to Kalay, take this time to round up any Djinn that you may have forgotten to get earlier in the game. If you have all the Djinn, head back from whence you came (hrmm, I haven't said that in a while... I think it's 9 now) all the way back to Kalay. When you get back to Kalay heal in the Inn and then proceed to Kalay Docks which you can get to by simply going around the south pole of the caves. ------ Kalay Docks ------ Note: If you have not yet talked with the tourists in Kalay and went through the cut scene with the missing passenger, please go back to Kalay and read the topic about the tourists in that section. Second Note: Before going on the ship, I recommend going back and getting all of the Djinn that you don't have up until this point. Not only is it more convenient to get these Djinn now, but you will definitely need a good bit of Djinn for the boss battle on the ship. See the previous sections for more information. As soon as you reach Kalay Docks Garet will run out and look at the Sea that's not really an Ocean. Someone in town will correct him, and so unfolds another pointless plot development. Once Garet is done, head into the building directly north of you. Talk to the lady at the counter to buy your ticket for going to Tolbi for 800 coins. Once you've bought it, head out of the house and go west to the docks to board your ship. When you get onto the ship head over to the captain to find a crew mate and the captain talking about not setting sail due to monsters. The captain will come around and decide that the ship should sail, but a crewman won't agree with him. You'll notice that he's up to something as he runs off into the Captain's Quarters. Follow him and he'll uneasily sneak back to the top of the ship. Jee, could he have done something wrong? any ways, head into the room at the northern part of the ship and head to the northern part of that room. Several warriors /passengers will start to get impatient about the ship not setting sail and will rush to the captains quarters to persuade him. Follow them down and enter the room in the southern part of the ship. Climb up the ladder here and talk with the guy blocking your path. In this (like always) pointless and dull conversation the captain will realize that his Anchor Charm is gone. Also, there will be discussion about the sea being a dangerous place due to the monsters, and it's going to take passengers to help row incase some of the rowers get hurt. Once you get command back of your character, head out of the room and go to the observation deck which you can get to by climbing up a ladder in the middle of the ship. Press A when you get up on the plank up here to find the Captain's Anchor Charm. Now, go back in the Captain's Quarters and give him the charm. After doing that it's time for *another* conversation where you'll be volunteered for helping to protect the rowers down below decks. Once you're back in command head to the crew quarters (the room at the top part of the ship) and head down the *very* hard to see stairs that are directly behind where the tour guide is standing. Once the crewman stops talking down here you will finally set sail. Sailing, at first, is pretty interesting. It cuts back between the different people doing different jobs and the actually try to avoid the monsters. However, this sequence is going to repeat 3 times, so it starts to get tedious after a while. Each time a monster attacks, 1 of the row men will go down and you'll want to head upstairs and pick a member of the passengers to replace him. It really doesn't matter who you pick, although you can actually get to Crossbone Island as a detour is you pick the following people in this order (thanks to [email protected]): The lady with the green skirt, then the lady with the blonde hair and a brown skirt, the old, bad guy, then finally the Merchant who is not near the staircase. According to Camelot's Japanese web site, you need to have a "weakness of power" on the right side of the ship in order to visit the island early. So, stick strong people on the left and weak people like the Chef on the right. The first enemy that you encounter will be three Man O' War squids. These guys are basically just normal enemies and you shouldn't have many problems against them. Once those squids are defeated, the crewmen will come down and realize that a rower is unconscious. So, go upstairs and talk to someone to make them a replacement. Pick someone, head downstairs, and get ready for the process of setting sail to begin again. The next group of monsters to attack are the Lizard Monster and two rabid bats. If you used any summons in the previous round, walk back and forth along the top part of the rowing deck to get your Djinn able to set inactive again. Then, head down and get ready for a battle. These guys are a little tougher than regular monsters because that Lizard Man has a little more HP than usual. However, one summon should beat them pretty handily, or just regular attacking. Now, go replace another oarsmen and get ready to set sail. Before you pick a passenger to row, I'd recommend healing all of your characters. Once the ship gets sailing again you'll be attacked by two Man O' Wars and a flying blue bird called a Virago (sort of sounds like Viagra). Once again, these enemies are pretty easy. One summon or just a few psynergy attacks will take them down pretty handily. Go replace *another* crewman and get ready to set sail again. Suddenly it will be attacked again, this time by a monster that actually means business. "I have some info on the HP power of Kraken, the water demon you encounter on your way to Tolbi on the ship. Kraken is the fourth monster/ beast you encounter while sailing. -He knows Ply Well, so be carefully. -He has approx. 2447 HP. It would be best if you used all the appropriate summons with the respective elemental adept (Thor with Ivan, Judgment with Isaac, etc.). I works better that way (duh)." Head up to the deck of the ship to fight Kraken. However, make sure you're all healed up and have all of your Djinn inactive for this battle, because you will probably need them. Kraken, just like the last boss you faced, will attack twice each round, so you have to be prepared for taking twice the damage. Once you've cast all of your summons, start using Ragnarok with Isaac, Heat Wave with Garet, Impact on Garet with Ivan, and Ply Well then Wish (get this when the four water Djinn on her get set after a summon) with Mia. As long as you don't let your party members die, you should be able to defeat Kraden without that much trouble, although he is tough. When you defeat him you'll be awarded 5200 coins and some Water of Life. Now, go select another oarsmen and get ready for the ship to set sail. This time, though, instead of seeing a monster, the guy on top of the mast will spot land and you'll arrive at Tolbi. Once everyone's said thank you and the likes, head off the ship to arrive at Tolbi Docks. ------ Tolbi Docks ------ There isn't a whole lot to do in Tolbi Docks. There's a simple puzzle to solve that involves moving those boxes at the northwestern part of down so that they allow you to jump from the ledge next to the house to the ledge 4 spaces down. When you hop across them and go up you can find a treasure chest that has a potion. Now, head out of Tolbi Docks and go into Tolbi. ------ Tolbi ------ Tolbi is a bustling town that's loaded with tourists getting ready for Collosso, an event sort of like the Roman Gladiator games where warriors battle one each other in front of crowds of cheering people. Usually in a town you'd head for the inn, but because the town is so packed there are no rooms available for you to sleep! Instead, head to the weapons and armor shop in the southwestern part of town to buy the latest upgrades. Now, remember all of those game tickets and lucky medals that you go earlier in the game? It's now time to cash them in the gambling capital of the world, Tolbi. Head to the fountain in the middle of the city and throw in a lucky medal. If you can get it to stay in the bulls eye you'll win some handy armor. Here's a little more information from Weird Ed [[email protected]]. "The most imortant (and the hardest to get) is the Grievous Mace, a strong weapon that both Isaac and Mia can equip. It's not as powerful as the Assassin Blade, but it's great for Mia (in this point of the game, it's a true blessing), and it performs a special attack that's very similiar to earthquake spell. To get this weapon you should throw your medal in the top-left part of the fountain, outside the circle... and have luck ^_^. Other good items are: the Glittering Tiara, the Guardian Amulet (second blue circle or clear circle, boosts your defense) and the Battle Gloves (boost attack)." Next, head to the shop with a die on top of it (that's singular for dice) which is located in the northeastern part of the town. In here, talk to the man on the left to start playing craps. This game is *insanely* easy to win coins at, so you shouldn't have any problem scoring a good deal of money if you play it for a while. Once you're done there, head for the large stairs located at the northwestern part of the town. Two guards will stop you and ask if you've seen Babi. They'll go on their way and you should keep going up the stairs to arrive at Babi's palace. Head to the door along the north wall that's all the way on the left to enter a room with a lot of beds. Talk with the lady at the desk and she'll get you beds to sleep in, which will restore all your health and PP just like an inn. Once she's shown you the beds, simply press A when facing one of them to go to sleep. Once you're done sleeping, go out the door of the room with the beds in it, and go up one of the large staircases on the left or right. Head north through the hallway to overhear a conversation talking about how Lord Babi is somewhere in Altimer Cave, but no one can find him. Naturally, it will be up to you to find him, but let's save that for just a little later. Now, head out of the castle and go to the second floor of the inn which is located in the northeastern part of town. Here you'll see a Djinn, but we won't get that one quite yet. First, take you shots at the slot machine here. Thanks to AlphabetMan of the GameFAQs.com message boards for this information on the slot machine and odds of winning: (working from the center outward) �Center Blue Circle: Assassin Blade, 90% �Center Blue Circle: Earth Shield, 10% �First Yellow Circle: Earth Shield, 70% �First Yellow Circle: Assassin Blade, 30% �Second Blue Circle: Defense Bracelet, 50% �Second Blue Circle: Spirit Armor, 50% �Second Yellow Circle: Spirit Armor, 50% �Second Yellow Circle: Adepts Helm, 50% �Clear Circle: Water of Life, 20% �Clear Circle: Adepts Helm, 80% �Outer Circle: Water of Life, 70% �Outer Circle: Adepts Helm, 30% �FAR Outer Circle: Potion, 70% �FAR Outer Circle: Water of Life, 30% Here's some additional information from Rotevni: You can also get a Ninja Hood, and a Burning Axe. The stuff you get varies depending on how many of the crabs or turtles you bank off of. Note: there are other items to get but these are the most valuable ones. Once you're done in there, head outside and let's go get that Djinn. Head south and out of the gate in town, but don't go out of the city so that the world map would come up. Instead, stay very close to the outer cliff of the city and proceed counterclockwise until you come to a vine. Use Growth on this and climb up it. Once you climb up the vine you'll see a pool of water. Surprise, surprise, you have to freeze that puddle of water. Do so, then head down the vine and go back into town. Go up two stairs facing east to find that ice pillar you made. Hop across it to get the Mars Djinn Ember without a battle. It's now time to exit the town and start looking for Babi in Altimer Caves. Continue to page 2 |
| ============ CHAPTER 6: WALKTHROUGH ============ ------ Introduction ------ The first thing to do in Golden Sun is to name yourself. The default name is Isaac, but you may want to change this because it will be the only name you can change (unless you press select three times to change the names of other party members. NEW: (source midgetjackietran) After pushing select three times, push up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, up, right, down, left, up, and select to name Felix, his sister, and the girl that King Babi kidnaps.) Golden Sun starts off in a small village in Vale. Dora, your mother, tells you to get up and that a storm is brewing and a giant boulder will crush you if you don't make it to the town plaza. Well, after lots of conversation and cut away shots, you finally get to command your character. You're told to get down to the town plaza in order to escape danger from falling boulders. Ordinarily, you would be able to get to the town plaza by just going down the various steps in Vale. However, small boulders fall in all of these staircases (jee, what are the odds?) due to the storm, and prevent you from walking down. So, head north a little bit to find your first party member, Garret. After instructing him to leave his bags where he's standing so that he won't die, Garret joins your party and you two are off westward. Climb the ladder and cross the bridge westward. Eventually you'll arrive at the western most part of the town, and at this point you'll want to pull a U-Turn and start heading southeast. Before doing this you'll meet up with a guy who's faking an injury worse than a Brazilian soccer player (although if you say that he is going to die he will disapear and actually die.) He tells you to watch out for some monsters on the way. Heading back east you probably will encounter a few monsters, but they're nothing to worry about at all. Climbing down a long staircase you'll see a tragic incident in which a young boy, Felix, is hanging on for dear life to a small tree stump in a raging river. The tragic thing about it is that his relatives are all out of Psynergy and can't help him. Two sisters will be deployed for help after everyone is done talking, and, surprise, it's up to you to go to the town plaza to find someone with enough Psynergy remaining to save Fenix. Travel south under the bridge, then take a ladder back up and cross the same bridge. Shortly there after you'll arrive in the Town Plaza. Walk to some of the men in the southern part of the plaza and one of them will volunteer to help Felix (the other two will go to help save the town against the boulder). Jenna and a muscular dude with some Psynergy left will join you. After returning to the house where Felix is drowning, Jenna and her relatives engage in a conversation. Right as the muscular guy who's with you goes down to save Felix, the giant boulder breaks lose and tragically drowns the people on the dock and Felix. It's now up to you to go find someone to save everyone from drowning. Head back towards the town plaza to discover a man and a woman talking about the awesome power of Alchemy and how it unleashed the boulder on the town. They then battle you. Don't worry about this one, because you're meant to lose it (there is no way to win.) NEW: If you use a Game Shark and cheat to win the battle, you still will have the same result as if you lose the battle (like you're suppossed to.) Left for dead, so begins the first part of Golden Sun (as you'll see by the intro screen appearing.) Three years later the town is still rebuilding. In fact, you're patching up the roof for Dora which results in a really LONG conversation. Jenna and Garret arrive and dish their deal about how you've now started to master Psynergy. After Garret breaks your roof, you're off to see Kraden in the Western most part of the town. On the way you'll meet up with the evil duo you met earlier. This time they won't want to fight, but instead will just run off to the mountains. Keep going a little further west, and head up the stairs to meet with Kraden. He'll ramble for a while about Alchemy and how Saturos and Menardi seemed to have actually beein the Sanctum before, and eventually give you a mission: take him the Sol Sanctum up in the mountains. Once the conversation is done, head back east back towards the direction of your house. Once you get across the bridge, head to the left of the brown sanctum. A guard will stop you and tell you that no one is allowed up there. Simply walk back that way again and you're on your way to the first dungeon, Sol Sanctum. |
| ------ Sol Sanctum ------ Once you arrive in the Sol Sanctum, head forward until you get to a stepping stone area over water. Use the right most path, and once you get near the top, turn left and then do a U-turn. Head through the unusually long tunnel and fend off the easy monsters that will attack you. Eventually you'll arrive in another room with stepping stones on it, and head up the middle, arriving on the other side in the middle path. Open the treasure chest at the end of the path and head back. When you're on the stones again head right, advance in the pathway. Use the gem you got from the chest on the statue there to open up a new path accessible by traveling on the far left stepping stones. In the next room you'll find a "dead end" with lots of statues that Kraden doesn't think is the actual Sol Sanctum. Obviously this isn't a dead end, so go up to the statue in the right hallway that has a white dash around it. Push that statue to the side and go through the door. You'll end up in a large chamber with many different paths. Head left, then up, then right to the wall, then up to the wall, then left to the wall, then down to the second narrow path on the left where you'll want to enter and find a treasure chest with a small gem in it. Head back from whence you came (I love saying that) and go up to the narrow hallway to the left that you skipped earlier. At the end of the hallway go through the door to find Kraden talking about using your Psynergy to move statues across the river. Go up to a ledge and press A to activate your in-game menu. Choose the Psynergy option and then choose Move under Isaac or Garret. The ledge you want to go to first is the one on the farthest left. Move this to reveal a figure that you will put a gem into. This opens a path in the door all the way to the right of the room. Head to the right to enter the real Sol Sanctum room. Here you learn that Saturos and company were here to rob the Sol Sanctum (oh no!) Head right to enter the Luna room where Kraden will hang out until you find a secret passage. To activate this secret passage, head to the bottom of the Luna room and up the stairs. In the first room with the four statues, don't touch anything because it's a trap. Instead, go to the left to the sun room. Push the two statues at the top corners onto the white squares, then hop into the center and use your move psynergy to move the big statue into the lighted area. Move back to the room on the right and start pushing the statues into the gray squares. Once all of the statues are in place, head back down to the bottom staircase if you want a Psynergy stone that will restore all of your PP (you may not need this though.) Then head back from whence you came (how many times will I say that in this FAQ?) and go back to where Kraden is. He'll get very excited and tell you that you need to find something that's changed. Head left and observe the crack of light coming from the wall. Once Kraden's done talking walk up to it, press A and open up a portal that takes you to the inner Sol Sanctum. You'll find yourself on a small blue rock in the middle of a large room. Kraden will start talking his head off about the Elemental Stones and you and Garret will have to go retrieve them. You'll obtain a bag to place the stones in. Now, go to the northeast corner of center rock and hop to the ledge. Make your way to the right and eventually down once you can go right no longer. You'll end up on an island with a white statue. Press A when facing it to get the first stone. Now, head back up north, and you'll notice that it's now possible to get to the statue in the northeast corner. After activating this one, make your way back to the center island. Now, use the path leading from the bottom of the island and SAVE BEFORE YOU GET THIS STONE. Once you get this stone get ready for one of the longest conversations of the game. When Kraden doesn't tell you to go get another stone, you both look back towards the center island to find Kraden and Jenna being held hostage by Saturos and company. They demand the elemental stars and want you to go get them the last one. Here an interesting plot twist develops, where it turns out that Felix is still alive and was in fact saved by the evil duo. Garret will give your current elemental stones to Alex who mysteriously appears on one of the stones. Finally you will take command of your character again, and you'll want to save. Head back right and to the center island. Go to the northwest ledge again, and start heading all the way north. Once you get all the way north, start heading to the left until about 3 squares from the Northwest corner where you'll want to head down and the further left. Get the last stone and get ready for more conversations. This time a giant eyeball who is actually the protector of the Sol Sanctum appears and starts creating a fierce eruption. The gang in the center will take off with Jenna and Kraden as their hostages, and the "giant eyeball thing" as Garret calls it will transport you back into the Luna room. Here you'll want to use your "Retreat" psynergy to get transported back to the start of the dungeon. Congratulations, the first dungeon is complete! ------ Going Away...To Vault ------ Head out and back towards town to find many people gathered near the brown building worrying that you two might be hurt in the eruption. You go into the Sanctum and discover that the Great Healer had a vision from the Giant Eyball/Protector of the Sol Sanctum. He says that Vale will be protected, but a terrible power is coming to ruin Vale's future. Surprise, surprise, it turns out that the only ones who can save Vale and the rest of the world's future is you two. Once that sequence is complete, there's a going away party for you at the town gate. Your Mom, Dora, has Garret's sister give you the item Catch Beads which allows you to grab items that you couldn't normaly get (such as nuts in the tree or keys beyond a jail cell.) You're now in the world map. See the "game play" section for some more information about the World Map. Start heading south to find your very first Djinn, Flint a Venus Djinn, flying around. He'll come up to you and explain the advantages of collecting Djinn and exactly what they do. He'll teach you the basics of using Djinn in battle, so pay attention if it's your first time playing. Once that's all finished, make your way along the dirt path, heading southeast to the town of Vault. Before you can enter the town, you'll see Master Hammet, the greatest merchant of all time, leaving the town in his group of covered wagons. He'll talk about how Ivan is responsible for his rod getting stolen, and how he has Psynergy that he'll need to retrieve it. Getting scared by a falling rock, he eventually ends up heading north to Lupna. Now you'll find yourself in the town of... ------ Vault ------ Note: There is a Djinn in vault in the trees. It may look like there's a way to get this Djinn, but there is no way (at this time.) Keep playing the game until you finally come to Vault...Again where you will have the skills necesesary to get this Djinn. The first thing that you want to do in any town is head to the inn. Here, for a small fee, you can get all of your characters' health and psynergy points completely restored. Next, head to the weapons shop in the northeastern part of town and buy the best weapons and armor upgrades that are available (you'll want to do this routine at every town.) Now it's time to find Ivan, the one that Master Hammet said lost his rod. Head to the house on the hill in the northwest part of the town. In the northwest corner of the house stands Ivan. Talk with him and he'll start to read your mind. You tell him about psynergy and the works, and decide that you can use his Mind Read to find who stole the rod. Ivan will then join your party, and you're off to the inn in the south part of town. If you talk with the people in the downstairs floor of the inn you'll discover that the two people upstairs were gone during volcanic eruption at the Sol Sanctum. So, head upstairs to find the two men with incredibly bad Beatles-esque haircuts. They'll be scared of you, and no matter how hard you try you won't be able to corner one of them to mind read them. So, leave the room and Ivan will suggest that you split up to corner them. You and Ivan will now easily corner one of them and he'll read the criminal's mind. You end up outside of their room and Ivan concludes that the people upstairs are the criminals. He also reveals that the stolen goods are somewhere in the inn. Head outside the inn and climb up the ladder going up to the roof of the inn. Walk over the hole in the roof to fall into the hidden cellar where the criminals are hiding the stolen goods! Use your psynergy to move the large box blocking the door, then jump across the gap and go into the room. Talk to the kid tied up to have the three bandits come in and start talking about Lupna. To keep you from "ratting" them out, the criminals attack you. Get ready for your first boss fight of the game! These guys are very easy to beat. Have Ivan and Garret use their Psynergy on them, while Isaac uses Flint's attack and the Mercury Summon them. You shouldn't even have to use any health boosting substances to defeat these easy evil do-ers. Now the mayor will come and get back his stolen Precious Urn. Ivan also finds Master Hammet's stolen rod in one of the chests. Climb back out of the cellar and head back to the house where you found Ivan at (it's in the Northwestern part of town up on a hill.) The Mayor will give you some Water of Life that can revive a downed character. Before you leave town, stop back at the inn to get your HP and PP recovered once more. ------ On The Road To Bilibin ------ Note: If you have not yet completed your tasks in Vault, you will not be able to pass through the cave because Ivan won't follow you up there. Please see the section above for more information. >From Vault you want to head east. Keep heading east until you cross the bridge, and from there you want to start heading north. Keep progressing this way until you find a cave entrance. Make your way up the ladders until you get to a gap with a tree stump covered by leaves. Your psynergy isn't going to help you for this one, so try jumping over. When you try this, Garret comes out and tells you that your Psynergy isn't going to work. By totally random coincidence here comes Ivan who will blow the leaves off of the stump thanks to his new rod. He now wants to join your quest, and you're back in command. Now, move the stump, jump across and use Ivan's Whirlwind psynergy to clear the leaves at the gate to get in the cave. In this cave you'll find a lot of ghosts and skeletons which aren't too tough. Primarily, you should use group attacking Psynergy that hits multiple enemies at once (like Ivan's lightening attack.) Inside the cave head up until you get to a stopping point (as in a cave wall.) Hop over the stepping stone there and head down. Next, head up the stairs and through the door. Head down the stairs and to the right. Here you'll see a traveler on the ground a Djinn on a ledge. Push the wood tree stump as high as it goes and so that it's in the middle of the two ledges. Now, head back from whence you came (3), but instead of going back up the staircases, head south and hop across a small stream. Continue along the path going through the various doorways. Eventually you'll get to a stepping stone that you'll want to hop across and to the other side. Go up the staircases and start ledge hopping. When you arrive at a ledge with a large tree stump, use Move to push it to the right. Hop onto this ledge then the ledge to the south, then Move the stump back to the left. Hop over and then over and to the right to obtain the treasure chest. Make your way back from whence you came (up to 4) and get back to the ledge surrounded by water. Go to the stepping stone to the right of the stairs, hop across and go up the stairs there. From here jump across the stump that you placed earlier to get a battle the Mars Djinn on the ledge. This Djinn is harder than your normal enemy, but he's not too tough. Use your existing Djinn on him, and also use your lone summon plus Psynergy attacks to beat him pretty Handily. Once he's defeated you will obtain this Mars Djinn, Forge. Head back to the ledge with the staircases and proceed upwards. You'll see a stump blocking the ledge that you have to hop to, so use Move to push that into the water. Hop across, go up and across the bridge and at the end of the hallway you'll be out of the tunnel. 3 seconds of moving right later and you'll be in... ------ Bilibin ------ When you first enter this town you'll find a tree that looks like a man and is spooking everyone in the town out. Well, the deal about the tree is that it was cursed by the big, evil, dieing tree in the forest that you'll travel to later. Head into the Inn to restore all your stats, then to the weapons shop not too far from there. If you were clever you would have noticed that there's a statue in the center of town that you can move. This statue leads to an underground tunnel. However, you're not going to be able to get the Djinn down there by this entrance. Instead, head to the Northeastern part of town and take a walk on the wooden logs that make up the fence of the town. Make your way all the way to the western part of the town and whirlwind a leaf covered entrance. Go down the ladder, and move the statue back using Psynergy, then hop across and press A to the Djinn to get it (no battle required this time.) You now have the wind Djinn, Gust. Come back all the way from whence you came (5) and proceed to the north part of town. Go up the large stairs and arrive at the town castle. Talk to the guard on the left and he'll let you in. Keep heading forward to arrive at Lord McCoy's chambers. He'll offer you the key to get past the Barricade he set up to block passengers from going to Kolima forest, but then he decides that he doesn't want to send warriors so young to their "deaths" so he retracts his offer. However, thanks to another guard leaking some information you discover that the barricade was very hastily built. Head out of town and you're now on your way to Kolima forest. ------ To Kolima/Forest ------ Head southeast until you get to the Barricade. Here, go up to the box on the far left and use your Move psynergy. Tada! The Barricade has been broken, and you're now off Northeast to Kolima. At this point you have a few options in the game. You can go either to the town of Kolima, to Kolima Forest, or to Imil to the north. This guide recomends you go to Kolima first to obtain the Djinn there and then to Kolima Forest because it will be much easier than Imil. Kolima, as it turns out, has been completely turned into a log-person town. The opening cinematic shows how the people of Kolima were turned into log-people, and explains the instinctive Psynergy that occurs only when it's needed and can't be controlled. After the particularly long and dull explanation, you can start exploring Kolima. However, the only way to figure out what's going on in Kolima is Ivan's handy mind-read function, but it really isn't too useful. in fact, the only thing to do in Kolima right now is head to the eastern part of town where there is a Tree-House with a Djinn surrounded by a fence. Go in the non-visible door in the back of the Tree-House and travel around the especially long basement to end up in fenced-in area. Here you will obtain an Earth Djinn, Granite without a battle. Head back form whence you came (5) and out of the town completely. ------ Kolima Forest ------ Kolima forest is not a long walk away from Kolima. Head northwest and you'll see on the map a forest with a gold entrance to it. Go up to it and prepare to enter Kolima forest. The enemies in Kolima forest will start to become more plentiful and a little more difficult than usual. They're still nothing to be afraid of, but make sure that you don't run out of PP on Isaac and get left without a heal. Head due north to get to the first easy puzzle of Kolima forest. Head northeast and go across the river using the log path that's already there. Head west, push the log that's in your way west and then go around it to the north. Keep going west until you get to the next screen. Here you want to head south and then west, pushing the log in your way to the left. Keep heading north along that trail until the path pulls a U-turn that will take you to the next stage. On the next screen, hang to the right and go up. Push the vertical log towards the west, then head north around all the stumps. Push the horizontal log down, then the vertical log east, then go down to the log on the bottom and push that one down. Push the horizontal log above it back up, and then push the vertical log all the way back to the west. This will place the log in the water, so jump across it. Head up the stairs and to the east to get to the next stage. This next screen is a little tricky, but at least there aren't any monsters on it. Go east until you see a switch that a sign says do not touch. Obviously you have to switch that, so press A when you're next to it to lower the water level. Now, head down the stairs and push the topmost vertical log to the left. Go back to the switch and hit it again to fill up the water level, then hop across the logs to get to the ledge on the other side. On the next screen you will find Tret and his lady counterpart. Head over to the east to find Tret, and climb the vine on the front of him to enter in the door above his head. The main objective of the Tret "Dungeon" is to get to the top floor where you will then proceed to fall down on a leaf in the middle, and continue to fall through those open holes in the middle of each screen to reach the basement where Tret is. So, when you first enter the tree give it a nice save incase you die later on. Now, head to the right, then proceed north and then to the left. Climb the vine to reach the next floor. On this floor, head all the way to the bottom most part of the ledge. Now, jump across the three leaves on the bottom to reach the other side. Note: jumping back over a leaf you've already jumped on means falling down at least 1 floor. Head out the door on the right to end up in one of Tret's branches. Head east without deviating from the main branch to find a vine to climb up to. Do so, and then start heading back west. Once you're back in the tree, head around the tree clockwise, until you can reach an inner ledge. Note: You can jump for the Psy Crystal at the north part of the screen, but you really shouldn't need it. Jump to the leaf and continue north, as you don't especially need the treasure chest (it contains a healing ring that will restore 70 HP (thanks to Josh Moore for that correction) when equipped, although it gets worn out reasonably quickly.) On the next floor, head out the bottom door and go east until you get to a branch which you should climb up. Follow the branch until you get to the main one, and here head left just a little and then up the first branch to the north. Here you'll find a Djinn that you're going to have to battle, so save and heal before you fight him. This guy is a little harder than usual, so make sure that you keep your health up using herbs and Isaac's Cure Psynergy. When you're in the battle, use Flint to his best abilities, also try to summon any elements that you have. This Djinn doesn't like to be captured, so unless you beat him substantially he will run. If he does run, head back to another screen and then back to where he was. He should show up again and you can give another shot at him. Once you defeat him you'll get the Jupiter Djinni Breeze. Head back into the tree using the main branch to get a treasure chest that has a nut in it. Then you'll want to intentionally drop down to the previous level. Now that you're on the previous floor, head counter clockwise and out the door on the left. Go off the first deviant to the south and up the vine. From here, go back east until you get back in the room. Here, go to the southern most part of the room and hop to the middle leaf. Once there, hop one to the right and then back to the middle leaf to fall down the center and into the basement. Now that you're in the basement, it's time to fight Tret. Save before you do this and inactivate all your Djinn. Make sure you have full health, as well. Tret has about 350-450 HP, so it's going to take you a few rounds to get him. Your best bet is using Summons, then Flint with Isaac, and using Psynergy with the others. Tret's attacks aren't too great, so you shouldn't have too much of a health problem. Once he's dead Tret will come to, realizing that he shouldn't have turned people into trees. However, he no long has the strength to cure Kolima, so you need to begin a trek to get an item to heal him (more on that later.) Once Tret is done talking the talk, use retreat to get to the entrance of the tree, then use retreat again to end up back at the start of the forest. ------ Heading North ------ The next village that you'll have to go to is the plague infected Imil. First you'll want to head back west to Bilibin to stop at the inn and heal all of your party members. Once you're done, head out of Bilibin and start heading northwest. You'll cross over a bridge and have to go due west for a while, fighting a few easy monsters on the way. Cross the other bridge and continue along the white dirt path. Finally you'll reach the Bilibin Cave entrance. Hop the waterfall and enter in the open cave door there. Head right at the first fork and continue that way until you can go down the stairs. Do so and head east through a room with lots of ice cylinders around (it's getting colder.) Follow that straight through to get to the exit door and arrive very close to Imil. Start traveling north and then to the west and gradually you'll end up in the town of... ------ Imil ------ Imil is being plagued by a terrible cold, and the only one who can save them is Mia. The first house you want to enter is the first one directly ahead of you when you first enter town. First, go to the treasure chest and get the empty bottle. This is very important for later on! Now, talk with the old man and he suddenly becomes very ill (what did you do to him? ;-] ) You're told to go find Mia right away, so head out and take a rest at the inn. Hey, Mia can wait for you to regain health. Once you're done sleeping, head to the northwest part of town, go up the stairs and then head south. Proceed to the church and talk to the girl near the entrance inside the building. She'll say that Mia had just gone back to the old people's home and you must have missed her. So, go back to their home to find Mia curing the old man in bed. Suddenly there's a flash at the lighthouse and Mia runs off. Before following her to the lighthouse, let's get another Djinn! Go up the bridge in the north part of town, and go to the stairs on the right. Right before going down the stairs, go up and on the snow face the snowman there and move him to the left using your Psynergy. Now, go across the bridge to the left, and head down until you get to the first opening of ice. Here's the exact movement that you have to do now: Right, Up, Left, Up, Left, Up, Right, Up, Left, Up, Right, Up and you'll now find yourself in an ice cave. You'll automatically slide right up to the Mars Djinn Fever, and without a battle you've obtained another Djinn! Now, head to the east part of town and leave that way. Proceed the few steps to the large lighthouse on the coast. ------ Mercury Lighthouse ------ Go up the stairs and talk to Mia. Once she's done talking, go up the ledge to the right of the statue and use Move to move the statue out of the way revealing a portal. We now learn that Mia is an adept and part of the Mercury clan. Using Ply Mia opens the door and you're now free to follow her. Go up to the large lizard blocking Mia's way, press A and get ready for a battle. The Lizard Man isn't anything to worry about, he's just a little stronger than your standard enemy. Head the either door in the next room, and then the door in the center in the following room. Now, jump across the stone directly in front of you and go up the staircase. Down the hallway in this room you'll find Mia who once again has had her path stuck. Move the statue towards you to clear the boundary and have Mia join your party! Here's an interesting note about Mia: In this lighthouse she has infinite PP so feel free to use her Psynergy to the fullest extent. Hop over the statue and proceed to the next room to find several waterfalls. Unlike later waterfalls, you can't go through any of these so just move east and go through the door there. In this room you will find a series of pipes that roll just like logs, only this time you'll want to connect pipes to make water flow. Move the first vertical pipe that's in your way right to connect it and start the water flow. Now move down and then go down and then up the stair case. Go down again, and the around clockwise to another down-and-up staircase. Go all the way up the right wall to find yet another down-and-up staircase. Here you will find a discolored pipe on your left, so push that to your left. Go down and then through another staircase until you can finally go south to a door. Go directly down, jump the gap and then stay on the ledge (read: don't go down the ladder.) Go all the way around until you get to a statue. You'll notice a LONG dotted line path and a square on the other end. Taking about 57 seconds, push the statue all the way from where it originally was to the square on the western side. Once that's been dong, head back all the way from whence you came (6 I think) and head down the ladder. Travel back west once you're down the ladder, through door, up the ladder and into the next room. In the next room slide down into the hole to land in the middle of the room with water surrounding a plank and a goddess on the wall. Hop over the goddess and use Mia's Ply Psynergy on her. Now, jump back on the square. Now that you're on this square you have a special power to jump 3 times over water, and then one last time to a safe place. So, jump to your right and then head up the door. From here go to the right, and using the water hopping ability you just got, jump over to a ledge and then down into the door. In this room there will be three waterfalls. In this room there will be a treasure chest in the right corner. Watch out! It contains a powerful Mimic! If you did get this chest, though, use your powerful one person attacks, psynergies and your summons. While Mimic doesn't attack very hard, he has a ton of health and has the ability to drain PP from a character. When you beat him you'll get a handy Water of Life which will revive fallen characters. Any ways, head through the third waterfall by pressing up on it and across the water to get Psynergy Armor, which you should equip on a character. Head back out from whence you came (7) and into the center door. Hop onto the only square you can get onto, then move east making sure to end up on another square. Head east again, then go north. Continue along the side wall, remembering that you have exactly four hops to get where you want to go. Head counterclockwise around the corner, and then keep heading south until you reach a door. You'll end up to the left of the door where you entered the large room with all of the hopping. Head through the door and then through the center waterfall. Head straight the next door and into the door to the north. In this room go to the northern most horizontal pipe and push that up. Now, push the other horizontal pipe up, and then push the vertical pipe to the left. This will fill the water up in the other room, allowing you to now hop over the water using your water hopping ability. So, go back and hop over and go up the stairs. Head up the stairs twice, ignoring the switch. Head all of the way along the left wall, and go through the down-then-up staircase. The objective of this room is to push the statue with flowing water in the hole below. Push the discolored vertical pipe all the way to the left, then move the horizontal pipe so that the vertical pipe can only move back to the right once. Do so and get the water moving the statue in the first out of three directions. Now, move the horizontal pipe out of the way and push the vertical pipe all the way to the right. Finally, move the pipe back to the left and the statue will be dropped below onto the floor below. Head back from whence you came (8) all the way down the stairs and then push the statue onto the switch. Now, head through the open door. This room will have a series of statues that, surprise!, have hidden doors behind them. Head all the way to the right, then go down the ladder and up the ladder all the way to the right. Use Move Psynergy to move the statue here. Now, jump through the door and push the pipe into connection to reveal a door in this room. Head through this door to enter *another* waterfall room. Go through the 4th waterfall in this room to find another Djinn. This time you're going to have to battle, so save before you fight it. Watch out for this Djinn, because he has a very powerful Water of Life. Your best strategy is to throw everything you have at him as fast as you can before he can attack you very much. Once you beat him you'll get Sleet, a Wind Djinn. Now, head to the west and through the door. Go down the hallway and go to the next room. Go down this hallway, and hop the gaps present. The next room has still more waterfalls, jeez. Go in the very last waterfall and go counterclockwise along the bottom and right walls in the new room you just got in. Move the statue using Psynergy, hop across and go up the staircase. Head down the hallway, and you'll end up a room or two later in front of a waterfall with a statue there. Use Ply on that statue to float up the waterfall and end up on the top of the statue. As soon as you can here, save. You'll also get a handy Psynergy Crystal, so heal up before you use that. Jump across the ledges and head up the stairs to find none other than Saturos, Jenna, Felix, Kraden and the rest. After some rambling back and forth Saturos will finally challenge you to a battle. Saturos is not going to be a pushover, so you're going to need to work out a good strategy to beat them. One good one that I used was to pummel Saturos with Flint/Summons with Isaac, use regular attacks and occasionally fire psynergy with Garret, use plasma and occasionally impact with Ivan, and keep using Ply with Mia. After a long time, you should be able to "fell" Saturos. Remember, his AI is pretty bad and you'll have some luck in keeping characters alive. Once you finally defeat Saturos, it's revealed that no, it wasn't a fair battle and his powers were weekend by the Mercury Tower's strength. Don't worry, you don't have to fight him again (yet ;-]) After a particularly long and repetitive conversation, you'll finally be able to hitch a ride back down the light house. Also, Mia will permanently join your party! So, when you finally get command of your character again, head west and watch as the elevator comes back up. Hop across the stepping stones and onto the elevator that will take you down to the now overflowing fountain. This fountain water has the power to heal whomever it's used on, so the town no longer needs Mia. The water also has the power to heal Tret, so go up to the fountain and use your Empty Bottle item on it to fill it up. If you do not yet have the empty bottle, exit the Lighthouse and go to the house with the two sick old people in the southern part of Imil. The bottle is located in a chest in the northwest part of that house. If you for some reason dropped the empty bottle, I believe you can pick it up in the "Artifacts" menu in the Item Shop in Imil. Now that you have Herme's Water, save your game and head down and out of the Mercury Lighthouse. Congratulations, you've now beat this dungeon of sorts! ------ Back To Kolima Forest ------ Head out of the light house and go to Imil. Heal all of your characters at the Inn, and if you want to see a little optional story head to the monasteries to say your good byes to the two children there. Next, head back to Bilibin cave. Backtrack your way in the Bilibin cave and head back to Bilibin. Next, keep heading east through the barricade and into Kolima forest. You'll want to head back to Tret, and if you need help with that refer to the Kolima forest walk through earlier in this FAQ. Once you get to Tret talk to him then give him Hermes' Water that you got from Imil. Suddenly the forest will light up and Tret will realize what he's doing. He will now revive the people of Kolima to their original state. The other lady tree will also use her powers to deduce that the monsters that you fight now were once monsters and that they exist in more horrible forms elsewhere (who would have figured?) Once you're back in command, retreat out of the forest and head to Kolima. Here you can buy the latest upgraded weapons and armor, but there's not much else to do in the town. Now head all the way back west to Bilibin and give Lord McCoy a visit. The guards will actually call you "Sir" before arresting you. Don't worry, though, you'll just be taken to Lord McCoy. He'll tell you how he's gracious of you restoring Kolima to its original state and lets you pick from one of four of his treasure chests. Thanks to altrongundamcustom of the GameFAQ's message boards for this information: The chests contain, from left to right, Vail, Potion, Psy Crystal, Water of Life. I for one would take Water of Life because you'll find it to be a little more useful than a Psy Crystal later in the game. Now, exit the city and start heading east once again towards Kolima. This time you won't go to Kolima, but instead go well past it. Follow the dirt path around until you get to a bridge. A guard will now open it (he wouldn't open it if you had gone before). On the opposite side of the bridge you still want to continue along the dirt path. ------ Fuschin Temple ------ You'll see Fuschin Temple wedged between two mountains to the north of a dirt path. Once you get in, head up the stairs and go into the lone building in Fuschin Temple. Use Ivan's Mind Read Psynergy on the main monk there and he'll talk about you taking a test. In order to mind read him you have to either set Mind Read as a hotkey (hold L or R when you have it highlighted in the pysnergy menu) or press Select to bring up the in-game menu. Talk with him afterwards and he'll tell you to go talk to the monk down in the waterfalls. Do as he says, go down the stairs and hop the stones to talk with the monk at the waterfalls. He'll step aside and you'll be able to pass through the waterfall into the Fuschin Temple Cave. In this cave there will be logs that you can move to cross water gaps. Right as you get in you'll notice a relatively easy treasure chest to get. However, this treasure chest is really a trap! Yes, if you try to open that chest you'll be attacked by a Mimic. Where you want to go is on the log to the left and then advance up to the next screen. Here you'll have to hop across different wooden stumps in water. You'll want to make your way to the western part of the screen, as you don't really need to go in the doors to the east and north. Once you've hopped the hop to the western door, enter it and proceed north through the hallway until you get to another door. In this room there's a "secret path" that you'll need to cross to get force (note: you're supposed to do this later but it's a lot simpler just to do it now.) The path you want to take is, from one square from the top of the ledge: Right until you can go right no longer, up until you can't go up anymore, right until you can't go right again, then up to the door on the right hand side. Continue forward until you get to a ledge where you can slide down. Do so and enter the door in the middle. Here you want to jump across the water and get the treasure chest. Held within it is force! Now, you have the option to go find and put the dragon's eye in that dragon statue in the room with the hidden path. You really don't need to do this, but since I haven't tested whether or not you have to do this I'll mention how to do it any ways. Start heading back from whence you came all the way into the room with lots of stepping stones. Once again you'll want to go to the door on the west side of the room. Go up the stairs and continue to the dark room. Instead of taking the secret path, head to the staircase on the left hand side of the room that's also near the bottom. Go down this staircase and you'll arrive in a room with two logs. Head across the vertical log to the south to find a treasure chest with an Arctic Blade which can be very useful. Now, head back across that log and roll down on the horizontal log that was near the door. Go through the door in here. In this room hug the left wall and go down until you reach a vertical log. Take this log across, go north and then east and down the door. You'll now find yourself in the starting room, but this time you'll be all the way to the west. Take the vertical log east and enter the door on the other side. Hug the wall here going down to avoid taking damage in the spiky rocks. Here you'll want to take the horizontal log down, then take the vertical log to the left. Head down on the ledge below and take the horizontal log back up. Hop over the stone from one log to the next and head east. Now take the horizontal log that you can now get to all the way north to get to a new door. In this room you'll see two horizontal logs in a row a little north of the door. Ride this log all the way up to the northern part of the screen, then take the vertical log there west. Hop on the horizontal log and bring that one up, then head all the way around clockwise hugging the wall and take the horizontal log up. Head across the stone and down the stairs to get the dragons eye. Now, hop north along all of the logs and then quickly into the next room to the north. Now you can use your dragon's eye item you just go on this dragon to light the room. Along this path you'll find a Djinn that's not very hard to fight and beat. It's a Mercury Djinn called Zephyr. Here's one of the descriptions I got from [email protected]: Hop over the stone from one log to the next and head east. To the north you'll find a Mercury djinn, and he wants a fight. He has some speed and power, but it's not a very difficult fight. Once you've beaten Zephyr, head due south and take the horizontal log all the way north to get to a new door. I'll revise this when I have a chance. Once you've put the dragon's eye in the dragon, start heading back from whence you came into the room with the three logs. Head all the way down and across the small log at the southern part of the screen to get near the entrance. Or you could have just used retreat ;-]. From here just backtrack, go out of the waterfall and up to the temple. Here the monk will talk to you about the powers of Force you just got. It turns out that it will show all of the monsters in the upcoming forest, and they'll run away from you if they're seen. So, Force is basically just a monster repellent. ------ Mogall Forest ------ No, not Muggles from Harry Pottery but Mogall. Here you'll see a green monster climb into a tree. Use force on this tree to see the Djinn run out to the south. On this screen you'll see another big stump, but you don't want to use force on this or you'll have to fight an Ape. Push the vertical log to your right, the horizontal log down, the vertical log back to the left, and then the horizontal log up. This will land the horizontal log in the water and you should jump across it. Use Force on the stump you're now next to in order to see the monster escape the east. Follow him! Use Force on the western most stump to see that pesky monster run south, so yet again follow him. On this screen head east to arrive at a horizontal log that's being constricted from moving due to a rock. Use your Move Psynergy on this rock to push it in a hole and move the horizontal rock down. Roll the next horizontal log in your way down, then move the vertical log to the right. Move the horizontal log all the way up, then once again move the vertical log west into the water. Before you hop over to the next part, go to the southwest part of the grass section you're currently on to find a Djinn! Save before you fight this guy, because you'll need to battle him. He's not very tough to beat, so you don't need to worry too much as long as you have your Djinn inactive before hand to hit him with summons. Now, hop across the log and use Force on the stump there. The monster will jump across the island gap, but you won't be able to jump across that. So, head back from whence you came (9 I think) to the northern part of the screen. Walk across the log path that was already there, and go through some trees to arrive at the big stump. Force on the stump to have the monster run off to the west. Follow him and go through the screen going west. You'll now arrive at a place with three stumps. Here you'll want to use Force on the middle screen to have the monster run south. Head west and then down the log over water path there. You'll see a vertical log blocked by a rock here, so use Move to move the rock into the hole. Once you've done this, push the vertical log right and jump across the water to the island in the middle. Use force on this stump to have the monster jump across to the water to the south. Jump back across to the west and head around the mini-stumps counter clockwise. Push the vertical log east, then the horizontal log south. Head around counter clockwise again and push the vertical log east into the water. Save before you hop across this log, because you're about to get a boss battle. Use your Force Psynergy once again to force the monster out of the stump and to the south. Follow him and make your way towards the stump in the middle on the next screen. When you walk towards the log in the center you'll see the monster jump to the south. Follow him, but get ready for his BIG counterpart to ambush you. It's now time for a boss battle against Killer Ape. This guy has a lot of health, and his attacks aren't too shabby. The first thing you want to do is cast all of your summons against him to do a good deal of damage (by now you should have at least one 3-Summon) to him. Now, Isaac should also have a nice new attack called Ragnarok that packs a huge wallop (it's my favorite looking attack in the game.) Have Garret use his normal attack (I equipped that Arctic Blade on him that I liked pretty much for this point in the game), use Ivan's Plasma and occasionally Impact on Isaac, and keep using Ply with Mia to keep your other party members alive. When you beat this Ape you'll get 1500 coins and Douse Drop that's required much later in the game. Head south once more to find yourself out of Mogall forest. Note: You can't go back through Mogall forest no matter how hard your try. Head east and go north over a bridge to reach Xian. ------ Xian ------ Note: If you do not have Force, do not bother about knocking over the log in Master Feizhi's temple, as you can't do it. Simply continue along on your quest, it will not affect your game in the long run. It may not look like it, but the building just north of you when you enter town is an inn. Stop there and heal up all of your characters. Right away you should notice a Djinn on a cliff in the eastern part of town. In order to get this, you're going to need Freeze. Mia should have this if you equip two Mercury Djinn on her. Now, you want to talk to the girl walking back and forth between the docks and near the cliff. Where you want her is 1 from the top and 1 from the right in order to be able to jump on the pillar once you freeze it from one side of the garbage blocking your way to the other. So freeze it, go up the stairs and hop over to the eastern cliff. You won't need to battle this Mercury Djinn, Mist. Now, head back across the ice and into the building right there on the cliff. Here you'll see a tree stump surrounded by a white line. Get *right* up next to that white line without physically touching it and use force to knock it down. If you didn't hit the white line the door will open and out come Feizhi and her father, Master Feizhi, discussing her visions. They also mention that Hsu is late and Feizhi will run out to find him. Now, Master Feizhi will come over and make you use Force on the log again. When you do this Master Feizhi goes into a long conversation about how you use Chi from your mind (aka Psynergy) instead of Chi from you hand like him. All of this doesn't really do anything for you, as you don't get any items or anything important, but you do get a little more feel for the plot. Now, head to the weapons shop in the northwestern part of the town and buy the latest and greatest weapons. You're now done in Xian, so head out of town. ------ On The Road Again... ------ The first thing you want to do is to go due north of Xian. Continue going past a forest and over a few bridges until you get to a small island. On just about all islands like this you'll find Djinn, and this is no exception. Here you'll find a Djinn in a random battle, so get ready for a fight. When you defeat him you'll get the Mars Djinn, Corona! Head back south until you get past the forest area and then head northwest over a bridge to arrive at Alpine Crossing. Here Feizhi will meet up with you and will start moaning about how Silk Road is blocked due to a boulder. Head north at Altin Crossing and you'll see the town of Altin. ------ Altin ------ You arrive in Altin and things are a mess. The water is overflowing and flooding most of the homes in the village. Head west a little and you'll see a statue that you can move. Use Move on it to enter a small cave with a treasure chest in it. This chest will give you a useful Psy Crystal that you'll want to hold onto for later. Head to the inn to rest up, then go down the ladder right in front of the inn. Head south to find a Water Monster who's spitting water into the lake that was once a town. He'll flee into the cave and you should follow him. Go a little north in the cave to find the monster hopping very slowly up a ledge and to the other part of the cave. You'll probably want to save this point and inactivate all of your Djinn. Hop across the ice and then slide down the cliff and press A to battle the Living Statue. These guys are hard core water, so fire attacks are simply devastating against them. Like most of the earlier bosses, he has a lot of health but his attacks aren't all that powerful. As always, cast all of your summons against him off the bat, then hit him with Ragnarok with Isaac, Heat Wave with Garret, Plasma with Ivan and either attack or Ply with Mia. Once he's been defeated, you'll obtain a frost jewel that lets you use Frost when equipped (note: Mia should already know Frost.) Go down the ladder and frost the puddle. Now, jump across the ice pillar and go out of the cave. You'll now notice that the water level is a little lower than it once was, but it's still not what it should be. Head to the east part of the town and go down the two ladders there. You'll now be able to go into the Mine Shaft called... ------ Altin Peak ------ To find the first Water Monster in Altin Peak you're going to want to follow the mine track for several screens. Eventually you'll arrive at a screen that has a large lake with another one of those Living Statues there. In order to get this guy, you're going to have to take the mine cart, so head around the bottom and Left walls clockwise to find the mine cart. However, you'll need to flip the switch a little east of the mine cart first in order to have the track go the correct direction to reach this water monster. After a roller coaster ride of sorts, you'll end up right next to the Living Statue, so save your game and inactivate all of your Djinn. Approach the Living Statue and press A when next to it to challenge it to a battle. See above for my strategy to beat this enemy. When you beat him you'll get a Vial that restores 500 HP and the water level will drain a little again. You'll now want to head back from whence you came (8) on the mine cart, then go east followed by south towards a ladder and a door. There is a treasure chest in this door, but it's blocked by a large rock that you'll need lift to get past (more on that later.) Head up the other ladder, and go clockwise until you get back at the door. Continue back along the track until you get to the next screen. On this screen continue going along the track until you see a door to the north that you haven't gone in yet. Proceed through this door and climb down the ladder in this room. Go through the door and head west. You'll see a train track going south when you get to the western wall, so go down from there. Here you'll want to change the switch to go west as opposed to east, then head north along the train track. When you reach the mine cart head in and find yourself across the lake next to a door. Proceed through this door. In this room head west until there's a fork where you'll want to head south. In the next room, don't go up the ladder until you freeze the puddle of water in between two ledges. Now that you've done that, head up the ladder and jump over the ice pillar to the other side. Go through the door to find a room with a mine cart and a Living Statue visible. Hrmmm, I wonder if you'll have to use the mine cart to get this living statue? ;-] Climb down the ladder from the ledge you were on and head west. When you see another ladder going up to a connecting piece of mine track (it's got jumps on either end) head north just to the west of this and freeze the puddle there. Don't go up that ladder just yet, though. Instead, go west some more and go up the ladder there. Flip the switch from left to right, then go down that ladder and up the ladder in the middle. Jump across the ice pillar and hop in the mine cart. You'll end up on a ledge northwest of the lake. Here you should climb down the ladder, save your game and standby all of your Djinn and get ready for another Living Statue battle. See above for strategies. By this time you may even be able to beat him in one round ;-]. Now, use retreat and head out of the cave and stop by the inn and weapons shops. Now, you want to go to the lowest entrance of the mine and follow the mine tracks. When you get to a fork near the beginning of the track, head right and continue until the track ends a few screens later. When the track ends, go clockwise in that room and then head south. In this part, you'll want to head east then start heading north. Keep going along the path to eventually end up a door that you want to go through. In this room, you'll see a Djinn on a ledge. Let's go get another Djinn! Go to the eastern part of the room where you'll see a stump and a puddle of water. Move the stump one square to the left and freeze the puddle. Head north and climb up the ladder. Change the switch when you get up there and head south along the mine cart. Hop across the ice pillar and stump and into the mine cart. You'll first go in the apparent wrong direction off to the right, but hop in the cart again to land just north of the Djinn. Head south and prepare for a battle. By this point Djinn really shouldn't be posing much of a challenge to you, especially if you use the right attacks against them. For example, fire attacks wreck havoc on this Mercury Djinn, Spiritz. Now, head back in the mine cart and get out. Head west to find a water puddle that, surprise, you'll have to freeze. Don't climb up the ladder quite yet, as there's another puddle you have to freeze a little further west. Now, go back east and head up the ladder. Ledge hop and go through the door. In this new room, take a left and head south for a long time until you reach a door. In this room, go north through a rock filled tunnel until you find a sign and a dead end. Read the sign that talks about falling rocks. If you didn't have Force by now Garret would get angry and kick the tree causes a boulder to come after you. If you do have Force, line up facing the tree stump and use force on it. A giant rock will fall and you'll automatically run away. It will cause a giant hole in the middle of the rail road tracks. Climb down the ladder then slide down the mountainside. Now, head to the north part of the hole and climb down the broken track as if it was a ladder. Head west to find a paved area that apparently was a secret buried deep beneath the mines. At this point you'll want to save your game because it's just about boss time. It's time to fight the final boss of Altin Peak. As always put all your Djinn on standby. Cast all of your summons against this boss to do a substantial amount of damage. Now, use Ragnarok with Isaac, Heat Wave with Garret, Impact on Garret and Storm Ray with Ivan, and Ply with Mia. This boss has a really bad attack and the fear of dieing really shouldn't be there. On his death you get 2400 coins and a Lucky Medal. Plus, you'll get a treasure chest behind the boss that contains the Lifting Gem that lets you lift large rocks in your way. Now, use retreat and heal your wounds in the Inn. If you haven't done so yet, get the latest weapons and armor from the shops in town. Once more enter the mine entrance at the lowest possible point. Go along the mine tracks until you reach the fork. Here you'll want to go forward at the fork, and use the Lift Psynergy that you got from that Lifting Gem on the brown rock there. The rock will now hover over your head allowing you to pass to the door. In this screen head left, but don't go to the far left unless you're really interested in getting a Vial behind a statue. When you head up the middle path there will be another rock there that, surprise, you have to lift. Continue along this path, and the next door you go through will put you back on the world map, this time near... ------ Lama Temple ------ There's not a lot of things to do in Lama Temple except go up to the main building in the northwestern part of town. Before you get there, however, there's a Psynergy stone that you really don't need but can get if you really want it. Walk in the temple to start talking with Master Hama (who is a girl by the way.) She apparently has the power of anticipation. After a lengthy conversation she'll reveal to you how to make Ivan use reveal (bad pun.) Reveal is a very useful tool to find hidden objects, doors and other things in the game and is required crossing the Lamakan Desert. During this conversation Feizhi who was off to find Hsu and the others earlier will pop in and said that the transfer did work. Then Master Hama and Feizhi will rush off to Alpine Crossing where Hsu is trapped. You'll want to follow them, but before you leave town jump the small stream to end up on the east part of town. Use your new Reveal Psynergy to reveal a chest that contains some Water of Life. Head directly east of Lama Temple to reach Alpine Crossing and to see the trapped Hsu. At first it appears there's no way to get to him besides going back through Altin, but once again use Reveal to open up a secret door. Pass through the small temple to reach the other side. Go up the rock and use Lift on it to free Hsu from the boulder. When you come back later the rocks will now be cleared and you can freely pass through Alpine Crossing. Once you save him you'll end up back in Lama Temple where the characters go on and on and on about whether or not Master Hama looked at Ivan. Sheesh, what bad storytelling. Leave the Temple Area and head southwest to reach... |
