\ Introduction /
'============'
It's been a while since a game has come out that I've thoroughly enjoyed.
Golden Sun is a huge game, and when I was playing it, it reminded me of the
days when I would look forward to SNES RPGs. The game play elements are very
unique (using psynergy out of battle, and changing classes with the Djinni
system). The graphics are outstanding, especially in battle, and the music is
really good too. The only thing that really was disappointing was the
continuation of the game into Golden Sun: The Lost Age. I felt kinda lost at
the end, but that feeling is easily remedied by playing the sequel.

\ 1. Story / [stry]
'========'
~=============================================================================~
The town of Vale has guarded the four Elemental Stars for as long as its stood.
The Stars themselves had sat hidden within Sol Sanctum, untouched for many
years. This all changed with the appearance of two strange people calling
themselves Saturos and Menardi.
The first time these two showed up was during an eruption of Mt. Aleph, located
north of Vale. A boy named Issac was out with his friends, trying to help
people escape the inevitable damage to the town, when Saturos and Menardi
decided to fight him. Issac had no chance against the two, and soon fell
unconscious. As if this were not bad enough, Issac's friend Felix is washed
down a river and is taken for dead.
A few years later, repairs are still being done on the town. Kraden, a scholar
on the outskirts of town, asks Issac to stop by. Issac, his friend Garet, and
Jenna (Felix's sister) are on their way over, when they suddenly see Saturos
and Menardi again, plotting another invasion. There is no fight this time,
however. Issac and his friends tell Kraden about it, and they decide to head to
Mount Aleph and enter Sol Sanctum to see what they can do. This is where all
the trouble starts...

\ 3. Game Basics / [gaba]
'=============='
~=============================================================================~
A lot of Golden Sun is like a traditional RPG. You fight monsters out on the
field and in the dungeons, you get money and items from defeating the monsters,
and you can use the money to buy better equipment and items for your
characters. Fighting is turn based, and villagers still let you enter their
houses and steal anything you find.
But what would an RPG be without a few unique elements?
========
Psynergy [psy1]
========
In Golden Sun, special people called "Adepts" can use the power of psynergy.
Each character that can use it is affiliated with one of the four elements:
Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water (or Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury
respectively). This means that if a character is a Mars adept, he or she can
use psynergy that is fire based. Like most other RPGs, you can use the type of
psynergy to your advantage when fighting monsters affiliated with the opposite
element.
Mars is the opposite of Mercury (Fire vs. Water)
Venus is the opposite of Jupiter (Earth vs. Wind)
Also, using psynergy on an enemy of the same element affiliation will result in
less damage. All other types of combinations (for example, Earth vs. Fire) will
result in normal damage.
There are two ways to gain psynergy in Golden Sun. The most straightforward way
is to gain levels. The psynergy you learn will depend on what Class you
character is, but I'll explain that in a sec. The other way to gain psynergy is
to equip certain items. Usually, these items will be necessary in completing
the game.
You'll be using a lot of psynergy in battle, but you'll be using it out of
battle far more often. This is one of the more unique elements of Golden Sun.
Usually, the psynergy you use out of battle can't be used in battle, and vice
versa, but there are a few exceptions.
There are many uses for psynergy out of battle, and they mostly help you get to
places otherwise impossible to reach. For example, there may be a stone pillar
on the far side of a pit that you need to jump across, but there is no way of
physically moving it. You can use your Move psynergy to move it. In the case of
Move, a giant hand will come out and shoot across the pit, grabbing on to the
pillar. From here, you, as the player, have the decision of where to move it.
Psynergy will be used throughout the game to solve puzzles and uncover secrets
(even by reading the minds of villagers).
All psynergy used drains a character's PP (just like magic and MP). Check out
the psynergy list for more information.
=====
Djinn [djn1]
=====
Djinn are small creatures that got scattered all over the world after the
eruption of Mt. Aleph. When you find one, they'll either join you immediately,
or fight you first. They'll usually join you immediately if you solve a complex
puzzle to get to them, and will usually attack you if they're out in the open.
Later on in the game, you'll find that they attack no matter how hard it is to
simply reach them.
Using Djinn wisely is the key to survival in Golden Sun. Unless you're at an
absurdly high level, you're going to have to rely on the Djinn to pull you
through each battle. After a Djinni joins you, you can set it to a character.
This means that this specific character can use the Djinni during a battle.
Each Djinni has its own special ability that it always uses, whether it's an
attack Djinni, a healing Djinni, or a Djinni that changes the stats of the
party or enemy. Each Djinni is also affiliated with a certain element.
Setting a Djinni to a character raises his or her stats. Having different
combinations of Djinn equipped to a character can also change his or her class.
A higher class means a huge boost in stats, and usually different psynergy. By
unequipping Djinn and lowering the class of a character, you lose the boost in
stats, and the psynergy, but it you can always get it all back by equipping the
Djinn again. There's never any pressure about permanent loss.
In the early stages of the game, you'll want to play off the character's
strengths. This means equipping Djinn to characters of the matching element.
This causes their psynergy to become more powerful, rather than change to
something else entirely. Later in the game, when enemies exploit the weaknesses
of your characters, you'll want to mix the Djinn up between players a bit. This
balances out your characters a lot more, and raises your chances of survival.
There's more you can do with Djinn in battle. As I said earlier, a character
with a Djinni set to him or her can use it in battle, but this means that it
will no longer be set to that character. Consequently, your stats will drop,
and possibly your class. Some psynergy may also be lost. You can continue
summoning Djinn, however, to build up for a very powerful attack. After you've
used a Djinni in battle, you can summon him back in, which does even more
damage to the enemy. The more Djinni of the same element used up in a battle,
the stronger the summon will be.
For example, Issac, a Venus adept, uses a Venus Djinni in battle, and it is no
longer set to him. He can now summon it back as just a Djinni and do some
damage to the enemies. But if he uses another Venus Djinni, he can summon both
back at the same time in the form of a giant Egyptian creature called Ramses,
and do a lot more damage. Summoning multiple Djinn back into battle changes the
appearance of the Djinn. The more you use, the cooler the summoned monster
looks. Check the summon section for more details.
Summoning Djinn in battle causes them to become fatigued for a few rounds, but
once they're back on their feet, they'll automatically set themselves back to
the character they were on before, letting you start the process over again.
TIPS
-You can set Djinn back onto a character manually in battle if you don't want
to summon them and wait for them to recover.
-You can unequip all Djinn from a character before a battle, and start off the
battle with a really strong summon.
-If a Djinni is set to a character, only he or she can use it. If a Djinni is
ready to be summoned, it goes to a pool where any of the characters can summon
it.
For more information, look at the summon section, the Djinn section, and the
class section.
==========
Rare Items [ritm]
==========
Just a little side tip that I thought I would mention: If you sell a rare item,
you will be able to buy it back from any shopkeeper anywhere. This means that
you'll always have access to any item in the game, and you don't have to worry
about losing a weapon. There is always a way to get it back.
Items can be obtained from shops, chests, mini-games, and are sometimes dropped
by monsters. Check the following lists for more information:

\ 4. FAQs / [faqs]
'======='
~=============================================================================~
Q. How do I transfer my saved data from Golden Sun to Golden Sun: The Lost Age?
A. First beat the game, and save the clear data when it asks you to. Next,
at the title screen, hold left and R and then press Start. Let go of the
buttons after the menu has opened, and there should be an option called
"Send". Select that option, and then choose your clear data. You can link
up to Golden Sun: The Lost Age if you have a second Game Boy and a link
cable. If you don't, you'll have to write down a password. Which password
you use is up to you, but the best password is the Gold password, as it
lets you bring the most stuff to the next game.
Q. Help! I completed the game, but I don't have all the Djinn or the Orb of
Force!
A. If you still have a save file before defeating the last boss, try to go
back and get the Djinn. If you don't have the Orb of Force, get someone
else's password.
Q. I can't get back to (town name).
A. By the end of the game, you'll be able to return to any town, so don't
worry about it.
Q. How do I make the ship sail back to Kalay?
A. You can't. Take the Gondowan Cave back to Kalay (southeast of Tolbi).
Q. What do I do in (name of town)?
A. Chances are, if you talked to everyone, you'd know where to go next. If
not, check the walkthrough for more info.
Q. I just completed (name of place). What do I do now?
A. Usually, the dirt path on the world map will lead you to your next
destination.
Q. How do I get to Crossbone Isle?
A. One of two ways. The first chance you'll get to access it is when you are
trying to select rowers for the ship to Tolbi. If you select a certain
combination of rowers, the ship will veer far off course and run aground
on Crossbone Isle. The combination is:
1. The arrogant guy in the green cape on the right side of the room.
"Hey! You're not thinking of making me an oarsman, are you?"
2. The bald guy on the left side of the room. "What? Ohhhh, noooo...
Are you going to make me row?"
3. The chef. "You... You must be joking. You want me to row?"
4. The old man in the bottom left. "Out of all these people, you're
asking a frail old man like me to row?"
The other way to reach the Isle is to let the giant pink whirlwind in the
Suhalla Desert to take you there. You can use this method as much as you
like.
Q. Do I need to go to Crossbone Isle or sneak into Lunpa?
A. No. There are many places and items in the game that you never need to
seek out, but it sure does help if you do. Sneaking into Lunpa ties a
loose end in the plot, gets you a Djinni, and lets you access many items.
Completing Crossbone Isle gets you some of the strongest items in the
entire game.
Q. What's the "K-Sword" and how do I get it?
A. Commonly called the "K-Sword" for short, the Kikuichimonji is a weapon
that can only be obtained by defeating a certain enemy at the end of the
game. The chances that you'll receive the weapon after a battle is slim,
but there is a foolproof way of getting the sword by manipulating the
Random Number Generator built into the game. I'll explain how to get the
sword itself, but if you want more information, please check the specific
FAQs at GameFAQs.
To start, you need to be in the first room of the Venus lighthouse
(Psynergy Stone, an engraving of a tree, two staircases, and a door):
1. Make sure that all of your Djinn are equipped on their default
characters.
2. Make sure Garet's agility is above 150. If it isn't, give him someone
else's Quick Boots. If that doesn't work, level up until he's ready. Also
make sure that MIA GOES BEFORE GARET, or else it won't work. You may have
to give both characters Quick Boots.
3. Save your game in this room (the three doors and the Psynergy Stone).
4. Reset.
Okay, now you're all set. Reload your game and walk around until you get
into a battle. It should be with a Fenrir and an Ice Gargoyle.
For the first round (aiming the big arrows at the Fenrir):
Clay Spire with Issac
Flare Wall with Garet
Cast Tornado with Ivan
Ice Horn with Mia
(NOTE: These psynergies are interchangeable with other spells that are
similar. If you find that they are too weak or too strong, change the
psynergy.)
For round two:
Defend with Issac
Unleash Torch with Garet at the Fenrir
(the Fenrir should die after the attack; again, Garet's agility should be
above 150, or the Fenrir will attack before Garet does, and you won't get
the sword.)
Defend with Ivan
Cast Wish with Mia
For round three:
Unleash Bane with Issac to kill the Ice Gargoyle
Defend with everyone else
This should get you the Kikuichimonji, and a Potion to boot. This always
works, I guarantee (that is, if you follow what I say EXACTLY).
Q. What is the best team with the best equipment?
A. Issac Garet
----- -----
Gaia Blade Muramasa
Warrior's Helm Thunder Crown
Mirrored Shield War Gloves
Asura's Armor Demon Mail
Hyper Boots Quick Boots
War Ring Cleric's Ring
Mythril Shirt Running Shirt
Ivan Mia
---- ---
Kikuichimonji Blessed Mace
Jeweled Crown Mythril Circlet
Aura Gloves Spirit Armlet
Storm Gear Oracle's Robe
Hyper Boots Quick Boots
War Ring War Ring
Mythril Shirt Mythril Shirt
There are some who would say that the Swift Sword is better for Ivan at
higher levels, and there are some that would say that the Demon's Axe is
better for Garet when he's a different class. These were just my
suggestions. Do whatever you see fit.
As for classes, one of the best combinations is the following:
Issac with one Venus Djinni and six Jupiter Djinni (Conjurer).
Garet with one Mars Djinni and six Venus Djinni (Berserker).
Ivan with one Jupiter Djinni and six Mercury Djinni (Sage).
Mia with one Mercury Djinni and six Mars Djinni (Water Monk).
Of course, you should arrange them so that they suit your playing style.

A little trick before you start the game: When it asks you to name Issac, hit
the select button a bunch of times until you hear a chime. Now you can name all
your characters.

As the game starts out, we find Issac being rushed downstairs by his mother.
She uses psynergy almost right away as an example of its use during the game.
As she's taking you downstairs, you're asked if you have everything you need.
Regardless of what you say, you are rushed downstairs. Once there, your mother
asks you to wait in the plaza to the south. If you try, a boulder falls down
and blocks any further progress. An attempt to use the other staircase also
proves futile, as another boulder falls and blocks your path.
If you head north, you'll find your friend Garet trying to lug all of his
belongings out of the town. Garet decides to just leave his stuff and head off
with Issac to the plaza. Head to the north and cross the bridge to the left. At
this point the boulder will start to fall, and the townsfolk will use their
psynergy to hold it up. They can't last for long, but in reality, you have all
the time in the world to do what you want. Head down the stairs to the south
and enter the new area to the left.
Once you pass the guy lying on the ground and start to loop around to the east
again, you'll be attacked by a Vermin. For now, all you can do is attack, so
keep doing that until you win the battle. This goes for any other battles you
might fight from here on out. Head right to enter the main part of town again.
Head south down the two staircases until you witness a disturbing scene.
Jenna's sister Felix has been washed downstream by the torrent, and is hanging
on for dear life. Your mother used the last of her psynergy getting your tunic
for you (see what laziness gets you?), so you, Jenna, and Garet have to go look
for other townsfolk with psynergy. Head south and then east into a new part of
town.
Skip all the houses, as there are no people in them or valuables to loot. In
the south part of town, you'll find the plaza. One of the men there uses the
psynergy stone to refill his PP. Now head all the way back to save Felix.
Needless to say, things don't go well. Talk to everyone and then head back to
the plaza. Two strangers appear, and they seem to be the ones responsible for
the storm. Unfortunately, they notice Issac and Garet, and decide that they
know too much. The battle that ensues is not fair in the least, and Issac and
Garet soon fall unconscious.

We learn that in the past three years, much of Vale is rebuilt, and the
villagers are more accepting of the deaths of their friends and family. Issac
and Garet have also been training their psynergy. Jenna reminds Issac and Garet
that they should be at Kraden's house learning about psynergy.
Before you do that, you should explore the town and steal things from people's
houses. You can start with the house right next to Issac's. A jar in here
contains 6 COINS. Head south from here. You'll come across two more houses. The
northernmost one has an ANTIDOTE in it. Felix's house across the river is still
in ruins. Head east to the plaza. The northernmost house here has 3 COINS. The
bottom right house in this cluster of four contains a SMOKE BOMB. Head south to
reach the plaza itself. The house to the left of the Weapon and Armor shop has
an HERB, and there is a barrel on the second floor of the Inn that contains 1
COIN.
While you're in the area, take the time to outfit your party. For Issac and
Garet, get Travel Vests, Wooden Shields, and Leather Caps. Don't worry about
equipping Jenna, as she'll be leaving you shortly. You should also take the
time to free up inventory space by giving one character all the Herbs.
Okay, remember the area that you had your first battle with the Vermin? Head
back there now (left of Issac's house). You have to enter the area from the
north, because a group of puppies are... well, playing in front of the south
entrance. As you enter, the two strangers who beat you up three years ago
(Saturos and Menardi) appear again. This time, they let you go without a fight.
As you talk to Kraden, he suggests a trip to Mt. Aleph to confirm that Saturos
and Menardi were actually up there. Get the ELIXIR from the jar to the left of
Kraden's house before you go. There are also 5 COINS in a jar in Kraden's
house.
Head back to the east into the area with Issac's house. If you try to go north,
and enter Mt. Aleph, a man there will stop you. After he's done reprimanding
you, wait until he's behind the building and run for it.

You'll be facing a lot of enemies in Sol Sanctum, so make sure you have at
least a few Herbs. Remember, you have psynergy now, so make good use of it.
After a few words from Kraden in the first room, head north to the next room.
Puzzle #1 - Stepping stones

Most of this room is submerged in water, so you'll have to use the stones
sticking out to cross to the other side. Use the chart from 0-9 to find your
way across.
Exit that room at the north end and follow the hallway all the way to another
room with stepping stones.
Puzzle #2 - More stepping stones
There are three paths on the far side of the water. You'll want to visit all of
them. Follow these three charts to reach each hallway.
---------------

Puzzle #3 - Where's the door?
There seems to be no visible exit in this room, but that's only because it's
covered by a statue. Whenever you see a statue or a stone pillar surrounded by
tiny white dots, it means you can move it. There are two such statues in this
room. The one on the left leads to an empty room, so push aside the one on the
right and head on up the stairs.
Now you're in a maze-like section. Use the map to find your way through:

A - Entrance
B - Exit
# - Chest
Don't forget to stop and grab the chest, which contains another SMALL JEWEL.
Puzzle #4 - I can't reach the statue!
Once you're out of the maze, you're faced with another puzzle. You can move the
statues in this room, but there's no way of physically pushing them. The
solution? Psynergy. Set the Move psynergy to either L or R as a shortcut from
the psynergy menu, and then use it on the statues. The statue on the far left
is concealing a Minotaur head that you need to place the Small Jewel in.
There's a door to behind the statue to the right, but it doesn't lead anywhere.
The exit you just opened is behind the statue to the far right.
Another maze, but not bad enough that you'll need a map. Head right and take
the first path up. At the fork, go left for a chest with an HERB. Back at the
fork, head right and take the first path up to enter the next area.
Puzzle #5 - Sun and moon
Before you attempt this puzzle, you should definitely give any items that Jenna
has to Issac or Garet. In fact, unequip her entirely, and give those items to
another party member to sell later. You should be particularly interested in
keeping any Game Tickets you may have already gotten.
After exploring the two rooms, Kraden asks you to go upstairs while he stares
at the wall. As soon as you're at the top of the stairs, head down and enter
the room here. Inside, you'll find a psynergy stone. When you find one, you're
in luck because they restore the entire party's PP. This also means that you
can use Cure on everyone to bring them back to full health and then use the
Psynergy Stone to restore the lost PP. Once a stone is used, it doesn't
reappear until you exit the area entirely.
Once you're done healing and saving, head back out, and head north. The statues
here can be moved onto the platforms, but it causes a trap and a long cut
scene. You'll have to activate the other statues to the left. Moving the two
statues in the upper left and upper right onto their respective platforms
causes a hole to open up in the floor. Jump across to the island from the
south, and use Move to drop the big statue into the hole.
Now that the trap has been disabled, you can move the statues to the right onto
their platforms. The island in the middle can be used to hop from front to
back. When you go back downstairs, you'll find Kraden flipping out about the
changes that you've made. It is pretty cool actually. When you inspect the wall
in the room to the left, a portal opens, and everyone jumps in.
Puzzle #6 - Collecting the elemental stars
Kraden gets even more excited when he discovers the elemental stones. He gives
you four MYTHRIL BAGS and instructs you to collect all four stars. The catch
is, some of the stone pillars are in the water, and you have to collect the
Stars in a certain order. Start by jumping on the stones in the upper right,
next to the portal. Follow these as they loop around to the southeast where you
get the VENUS STAR.
Use the newly raised stones to head north to the MERCURY STAR in the northeast
corner. Head back to the main platform.
The stones to the south lead to the JUPITER STAR in the southwest. After taking
this Star, some shocking events unfold, and you are asked to retrieve the last
Star.
To get the MARS STAR, head all the way back to the main platform and use the
stones in the upper right corner again. These lead all the way to the
northwest, and to the Mars Star. Grab that, and observe the dramatic outcome of
your actions.
Now you have to run all the way back out to the town, but that's no big deal,
right? I trust that you remember the way, but if you don't just follow my
instructions in reverse (specifically the stepping stone charts). Or um... you
could also just use the Retreat psynergy. That's easier, and there are no
enemies on the way back, so you won't be missing anything.

Back in town, everyone is relieved to hear that the eruption won't touch Vale.
The townsfolk discuss their next plan of action. They plan on an adventure, and
it involves - Surprise! - Issac and Garet. They plan on kicking them out of
town (in the most friendly way possible, of course) the very next day.
During the farewell, you receive an HERB and the CATCH BEADS. Equip them to
learn the psynergy Catch. You can equip them on any party member you want.

As soon as you step outside Vale into the world, you find one of the Djinn that
have been mentioned a couple of times. Flint will give you a brief tutorial
about Djinn, but for more in depth tips, read the Djinn section under Game
Basics. You should probably set Flint to Issac for now.
Before you progress any further, it's probably a good idea to fight enemies
until you have enough Coins to buy a Long Sword for Issac and Garet (400
Coins). Remember to sell Jenna's equipment if you took it. Don't use the Inn if
you need to heal either. Use Issac's Cure psynergy, and then hop across to the
island in the plaza to restore his PP. While you're in town, stop by the tree
at the top of the long steps that are above Felix's old house. You can get the
NUT hanging from the tree using your newfound Catch ability. You should be
around level 3 or 4 after saving up for the weapons.
When you try to enter Vault (follow the dirt path to get there) you'll witness
a group of Caravans heading out to Kalay. The bridge they need to use is out,
the town they just came from contains thieves, and the mountain is still
erupting, so they seek refuge in a town called Lunpa. It's a bad decision on
their part, but ignore it for now. You can actually go north to Lunpa to grab
the NUT hanging on the tree, if you really want it.

-------------------------------
You're going to be raiding every town you come to for items, so you might as
well get used to it. The house straight ahead of you when you enter the town
contains 7 COINS in a jar on the right side. The door in the cliff face to the
north leads to the item shop. There is a SLEEP BOMB in the barrel on the right
side of the room. The house left of the one that you found the Coins in
contains 4 COINS in the barrel next to the bed. The house to the left of that
one contains a MINT in a crate below the bed, and the crate next to the house
to the north contains a NUT. You should probably think about using the Mint on
Garet to boost his Agility, but save it for later if you feel the need.
Now that you're done looting the town, you should talk to people to learn more
about the theft that occurred. When you're ready, enter the Mayor's house (the
northwestern one) and talk to the boy standing near the back.
Ivan, like Issac and Garet, is an adept. He also happens to be a Jupiter adept,
and that's a welcome addition to your party. His Mind Read psynergy will come
in handy throughout the game. For now, you agree to help him retrieve the
stolen rod. This is the first big example of how his Mind Read will come in
handy. Ivan comes equipped with decent armor, but you should consider picking
him up a Short Sword at the Weapon Shop.
If you want clues as to the whereabouts of the Rod, talk to people around town
using Mind Read (you'll have to set it to L or R). Or, if you don't feel like
doing that, just go to the second floor of the Inn, and the two guys there will
start running away. Chasing after them proves futile, but if you try to leave,
your team will come up with a plan to corner the two shady characters.
After you corner them, Ivan learns that the thieves have hidden all their loot
in the Inn somewhere. If you head outside, the woman there shaking her head
will tell you that the worker that was supposed to be fixing the roof is
slacking. This is your chance to climb up the ladder and inspect the roof. The
hole leads to the attic of the Inn, and you can use Move to move the giant
crate out of the way. This reveals an entrance to a secret room where the
thieves have hidden all the valuables.
As you cut away the ropes from the worker, and come to the conclusion that
you've found all the stolen stuff, the three thieves appear and decide to
attack.
Boss Fight - Thief X2, Bandit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended level: 4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The easiest way to win this battle is to constantly summon and use Flint, and
use psynergy attacks that target everyone.
Have Issac use Earthquake and Cure when he's not summoning, have Garet use
Flare, and have Ivan use Ray.
After the battle, you get a BANDIT'S SWORD.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, the thieves are captured, and you get back Ivan's SHAMAN'S
ROD. Ivan will leave you for a bit, but you'll see him again soon. Remember to
visit the Mayor for some WATER OF LIFE. Your Bandit's Sword doesn't appear to
be too powerful, but if you save it, you can equip it on Ivan when he comes
back. For now, fight monsters outside the town until you have enough Coins to
buy two Battle Axes (for Issac and Garet).
If you've been observant, you may have noticed the bell tower in the upper
right corner of town. If you ring the bell, you'll scare a Djinni out of
hiding. Unfortunately, you can't get it yet, but rest assured I'd let you know
when it's time.
When you leave the town, head east across the bridge, skip the first bridge
leading north, and continue northeast until you reach a cave.

Head north and jump the river using the stump. Push the stone pillar out of the
way, climb up the ladder, and use Move on the other stone pillar so you can
cross the gap. When you try to use Move on the stump to the left, you realize
that the ivy is holding it down. Ivan comes to the rescue and uses Whirlwind to
clear all the ivy away. Now you can easily move the stump, and continue onward.
Before you do that, however, head all the way back to Vale and check behind the
Weapon shop. The ivy here can be cleared away with Whirlwind, and it reveals a
cave with a chest containing POWER BREAD. I suggest that you use this on Ivan
to boost his HP, since it's pretty low right now.
Okay, now go back to Goma Cave, and push that stump out of the way. Behind the
stump is more ivy that you can blow away with Whirlwind. This reveals the
entrance to the cave proper.
The cave layout is pretty simple. Head north to cross the stream, and then loop
back around to the south to find a stairway leading up. Head all the way to the
right side of this area. You'll find a Djinni on a cliff that you can't get
quite yet. Set the stone in between the two ledges so that you'll be able to
make it over to the Djinni later.
Back to the west and a bit south is a big lake type thing. Jump over the lake
at the skinny section, and head down the stairs to the right. In this new area,
make your way to the upper left, and take these stairs. Push the pillar out of
your way with move, and jump across. The stump to the south acts as a stepping-
stone in the lake below. Go back up and push the pillar back into its original
position, and jump to the ledge to the right. The chest here contains a LUCKY
MEDAL. These will be used much later in the game.
Head back down the stairs you came up, and use the new stepping-stone to reach
another staircase. Since you pushed the stone pillar into place, you'll be able
to reach the Mars Djinni Forge sitting on the ledge. You might want to save
before approaching it, because apparently, just reaching him isn't enough.
You'll have to fight him! Use Flint with Issac, and Ray with Ivan. Stick to
regular attacks with Garet, as his psynergy isn't that strong against the fire-
based creature. If the Djinni runs, you'll have to leave the area and come back
to make him reappear. After it's defeated, Forge joins you. It's a good idea to
set it to Garet.
Jump back across and head up the steps. By pushing the stump out of the way
here, you're actually making a shortcut back to the beginning of the cave. This
way, if you ever want to go through the cave again, it'll be a snap. Jump
across and follow the path north until you exit the cave.

-------------------------------
When you first enter the town, you'll notice a tree that looks almost like a
man. Use mind read on it to find that it actually is a man. You can't do
anything about it yet though, so commence with the raiding of the town.
The house in front of you and a bit to the left contains an ANTIDOTE in the
barrel in the bottom left corner. Outside, check the jar to the left to get 5
COINS. The house to the left of this one has a SLEEP BOMB under the bed. Exit
this house and go north to the next one. A barrel in the back of the room
contains a HARD NUT. You can use this on Ivan if you want, but I would save it
for the fourth party member, Mia. To the east, past the statue and the well, is
a set of stairs. Check the jar at the top for an HERB.
The shops in Bilibin are anything but cheap. You'll probably only have about
500 Coins after your trek through the cave, so don't worry about purchasing
everything right away. If anything, buy Leather Armor for Issac and Garet.
Moving the suspicious looking statue in the middle of town reveals a secret
hole that you can climb down. There is a new Jupiter Djinni to the right, but
you can't reach it because of the statue blocking the way. Head back out of the
hole, and climb up the stairs to the right. You can walk on the top of the logs
that surround the town, and doing so takes you all the way to the left side,
where you can use Whirlwind on the ivy to reveal a cave entrance. From here,
you can move the statue aside and collect Gust, the Jupiter Djinni. You should
set him to Ivan for now.
Talk to the townspeople to learn that a curse has fallen on the town due to the
Lord's cutting of the trees in Kolima Forest. Go north to a new area to find
McCoy's Palace. Before you enter, use Catch to grab the NUT off the tree to the
left, and talk to Lady McCoy. She seems to not care a bit about the clearing of
the forest for her own palace. Talk to the guards in front of the main palace,
and tell them you want to enter. Follow them inside when they open the door.
Head left when you enter. Go up the stairs in the bottom left corner, and
follow them up until you reach a dead end with a barrel. It contains a SMOKE
BOMB. Head back down to the main floor, and head to the right until you see to
women in front of a fireplace. The barrel on the right contains an ELIXIR. Once
you're done looting, head straight through the palace to reach Lord McCoy. He
seems like an okay guy, but he still won't let you go through the barricade...
you are "wee children" after all. On the way out, the guard lets it slip that
you may not need a key to get through the barricade.
BILIBIN BARRICADE
-----------------
Follow the dirt path southeast of Bilibin to reach the barricade. At first, it
seems that you really can't get through, but if you use Move on the crate to
the left, you'll be able to get through. Ignore the three trees stacked on each
other (?) and continue through.

Heading east from the barricade will bring you to Kolima forest and the town of
Kolima. When you enter the town (further east than the forest), a small cut
scene will play, showing what exactly is happening to turn the villagers into
trees. Tret, the master of the woods, is understandably pissed about the
woodcutting, and has accordingly turned people into trees. It's your job to
stop this from happening any more.
Now, it's time to grab whatever you can from the town. A jar on the third floor
of the Inn contains a LUCKY MEDAL. On the third floor of the Weapon Shop to the
east, you'll find 7 COINS in a barrel. East of the Weapon Shop, in a cluster of
jars, you'll find an APPLE, and west of the house below the Weapon Shop is a
jar with an HERB in it. You should use the Apple on Issac.
The bottom right house with the fenced in area contains a Venus Djinni. If you
enter the house from the front, you might be surprised at the seemingly small
interior. Don't know what to do? Walk around back and enter a new area of the
house through a hidden door. Climb down the ladder and fight your way through a
small cave section until you reach Granite, the Venus Djinni. Before you head
through the cave, take off all of Issac's Venus Djinn so that you can use a
cool new summons on the way back.
Here's a little secret that you aren't supposed to figure out for a while: Head
out of town and continue west, not crossing any bridges on the way. You'll come
to a peninsula type area with a forest covering most of it. Search the ground
in the middle to pick up a pair of TURTLE BOOTS. They raise your Defense, but
at a great cost to your Agility. Head back to Bilibin and sell them for a tidy
profit.
Now is when you should start thinking about getting most of the best equipment
sold here. For Issac, buy the Broad Sword, Bronze Shield, and Wooden Cap. Buy
the same equipment for Garet as well. For Ivan, pick up the Witch's Wand, a
Travel Robe, Leather Gloves, and a Wooden Cap. That's a lot of cash to save
up... you'll be best off fighting for money in the cave that leads to the
Djinni in Kolima. If you feel that the Broad Swords are much too expensive for
now, you can hold off on those until later.

Located northwest of Kolima, Kolima Forest is where the evil tree Tret lurks,
casting curses on Kolima and Bilibin. You should have good equipment and be at
least level 8 before you enter.
Fallen trees block a lot of the forest that you need to push out of your way.
The first area isn't that much of a puzzle. You should be able to make it to
the upper left corner without too much trouble.
In the next area, ignore the log in front of you and head to the left. Push the
horizontal log down to clear the way north, and enter the new area.
Puzzle #1 - Log Moving
Now things get a little bit tougher. This is what the logs look like in this
area:
_
_______ | |
|_______| | |
2 | |

3
A. Push log #1 to the left to reach log #2.
B. Push log #2 down.
C. Push log #1 back to the right to reach log #3.
D. Push log #3 down.
E. Loop all the way around to the right side of log #1, and push it
into the water.
Now head up the steps into the next area.
Puzzle #2 - Log Moving and Lake Draining
This puzzle is the toughest one in the forest. You have to drain the lake, move
the logs into a desired position, and then fill the lake up again to reach your
destination. You can either take the path to the chest, or take the path to the
exit. If you leave the area, you can reset the puzzle, so you will be able to
reach both areas. Here's how to get to the chest:
First drain the lake by pulling the lever, and then go down into the lakebed.

A. Push both log #2 and #3 up.
B. Push log #1 to the right.
C. Push log #2 down.
D. Push log #4 to the right.
E. Push log #3 down.
F. Push log #4 back to the left.
Refill the lake, and that'll let you reach the FUR COAT. Now exit the area to
reset the puzzle. Ivan's a good idea for the Fur Coat.
To reach the exit, simply move log #1 to the left.
In the new area, you'll find Laurel and Tret. They don't really have much to
say, so you'll have to heal the tree from the inside (*cough*DekuTree*cough*).

Tret Tree is six levels high, and in order to make it to the first floor,
you'll have to make it all the way to the top first and break through a spider
web (*cough*DekuTreeagainIsmellalawsuit*cough*).
Make your way to the back of the second floor (the one you start out on) and
climb the vine to the third floor. The spider webs here have leaves on them,
and you can step on the full leaves without worries. If you step on an already
crumbled one, you'll fall through the web and have to start from the floor
below. Here on the third floor, head down all the way, and use the three leaves
closest to the bottom to jump across the web. Exit onto the exterior of the
tree to the right.
The branches of the tree are strange in that you can't see very far in front of
you because of the leaves. Just go right on the branch until you reach the
vine. Climb up and head back to the left to enter the fourth floor. You can
loop around and go for the Psynergy Stone, but you should only do it if you're
really really low on health and/or PP. If you do get the stone, you'll have to
jump back across the web, but you'll fall through in doing so, and will have to
come all the way back up. The same goes for the chest in this area, though it's
worth it to grab the chest, because it contains a HEALING RING. It's pretty
useful at this point in the game. Ivan is a good choice for the ring for now.
Once you're done getting things, head up the vine in the back of the area (jump
across the leaf that you used to get the ring).
Take the southern exit from the fifth floor, and start heading up the branches.
You'll end up coming to another door into the tree, but if you backtrack a few
steps, and walk up the branch that leads up, you'll come across a Djinni.
You'll have to fight this Djinni before it joins you. After you've got him,
slap him on Ivan and enter the door to the left. You'll find a NUT in a chest
here. Break through the web here to easily get back to the fifth floor.
This time take the exit to the west. You'll eventually end up on the left side
of the sixth floor. This is what the leaves look like:
L B L
B L = L
|
L - L B L
L - regular leaf
B - broken leaf
Jump on the leaf in the bottom left corner, jump one to the right, one up, one
right, and then back to the left. You'll fall through the entire trunk down to
the first floor. Head north and speak to Tret's... other face to start a
battle.
Boss Fight - Tret
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended level: 9
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using high level summons like Atalanta and Ramses are a sure fire way to bring
down the tree. Garet's fire based Psynergy like Volcano is also very effective
against Tret. Using Granite, Forge, and Breeze is a good idea as well. Status
changes in the party during tough boss battles is often overlooked, but it's a
very effective tactic.
You receive a POTION for winning this battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Killing Tret turns out to be the wrong course of action. It seems that physical
harm does not, in fact, heal the tree. It causes him to slowly die. The good
news is that he's back to his senses, and if you bring him some healing water
from the Mercury Lighthouse, he'll turn people back.
BILIBIN
-------
Head all the way back to Bilibin and rest at the Inn. While you're stopped
here, you might as well buy those two Broad Swords if you haven't already (and
sell any extra equipment you don't need). Once you're done shopping, head north
from Bilibin, cross a bridge, and head in a westerly direction until you reach
Bilibin Cave.

When you first enter the area, you'll come across a small sprout growing near
the cliff face. Set one of your Venus Djinn to Garet to teach him the Growth
psynergy. Using Growth on the plant will cause it to become climbable ivy. Head
up, jump the river, and then slide down the notch in the cliff face. This lets
you access the alternate entrance to the cave. Once inside, head to the north,
take the ELVEN RAPIER out of the chest, and jump down the notch in the ledge. I
suggest that you equip the Elven Rapier on Issac.
After that, head left and up. At the fork, take a right (up is a dead end) and
head through the door. Although it looks like you can do a lot in this room,
there really isn't much you can do (yet). Just head to the right until you
reach two torches with the white dots around them. Push one next to the ice
pillar, and you can access the chest behind it that contains a VIAL. Head back
south to exit the cave. The town of Imil lies to the northwest.

The town of Imil seems to be under a sick spell, and only the healing water of
the Mercury Lighthouse can heal them completely. The item shop is open, but the
weapon and armor dealers are both sick.
It's raiding time! The house right in front of you as you enter contains an
EMPTY BOTTLE, which you'll need shortly. Check the stove at the Inn for a LUCKY
PEPPER. Use this on Ivan, as you'll be using physical attacks with him later in
the game. (Luck raises your chance of dealing a critical hit). A barrel behind
the counter at the Weapon Shop contains a SLEEP BOMB. Cross the bridge to the
left and check the jar next to the house for 9 COINS. The upper left gravestone
to the south contains a LUCKY MEDAL. Stealing from a gravestone... is that
going too far...? No. Just do it.

There is a chest and a Djinni that you can get by sliding on the ice. The catch
is that you can't move freely. Once you step onto the ice, you slide in that
direction until you hit something.
To get the chest:
A. Slide across the ice from the entrance above the gravestones.

Now, head to the left side of town, and talk to the girl in the sanctum. She
tells you that Mia is around. Head back to the house at the entrance of town,
and enter. This time, Mia will be there, and she'll reveal her powers as an
Adept. She's a Mercury adept, and - surprise! - she's about to join your team.
Unfortunately... she doesn't quite yet. You'll have to chase her to the

feature the trickiest puzzles yet. At the entrance, push aside the statue for
Mia, and follow her inside. The monster here is blocking her path, so kill it
to get rid of it. Continue following Mia. There are two doors in the next room,
but they essentially lead to the same place, so it doesn't matter which one you
take. Head straight through and go up the steps. Helping Mia one more time by
pulling the statue into the pit will make her trust you enough to finally join
you. Mia comes equipped with Fizz, a healing Djinni (very useful!!). Head
through the room full of waterfalls to a room full of pipes.
Puzzle #1 - Pipe Connecting
This puzzle really isn't as complicated as it looks at first. Push the pipe to
the right to finish the connection, and follow the path (there's only one way
you can go for now). You'll end up on the other side of the pipe you just
pushed. Push it back to where it was before, breaking the connection. This
allows you to travel different paths, now that there are no water jets to push
you around. First, head for the chest on the right side of the room, which
contains a PSY CRYSTAL. Then make your way to the bottom left corner to reach
the exit.
In the next room, jump across to the ladder, but don't climb down. Instead,
walk along ledge that runs along the southern perimeter of the room until you
reach a statue. Move it all the way over to the button on the floor to open the
door. Jump down the hole in the next room.
You'll land in front of a giant statue. Jump across to the statue's hands and
use Ply (set it as a shortcut, or else it won't work). Now when you step on the
glowing tile (and any others like it from now on) you'll be able to walk a
limited number of paces on the water. If you go over 3 hops, you'll fall in the
water and start out from the platform that you originally started jumping from.
There is no penalty to falling in the water, so don't worry if you get stuck
and have to jump in.
Head north through either door. In this room, you can't get to the glowing
block on the left side yet, but you can use the one on the right side to reach
a new door. You'll emerge out of a waterfall into a room with a single chest.
If you try to open it, you'll find that it's actually an enemy called a Mimic.
The battle is tough, as the Mimic has powerful attacks and a lot of HP. If you
keep the pressure on, and make good use of Fizz, you're sure to win. You'll
receive a WATER OF LIFE after the battle, as well as a good amount of
experience points and Coins.
Before you head back through the waterfall, check the waterfall on the right
for another hidden door. Check the chest in the back of the room for some
PSYNERGY ARMOR. Only Issac and Garet can equip it, and since Garet probably has
the lowest Defense, he's a good candidate for the armor. Speaking of Defense,
use that Hard Nut on Mia if you still have it. Now head all the way back to the
room behind the statue, and take the door to the north.
Puzzle #2 - Walking on Water
Many of the tiles in this room have lit up now. Your destination is the exit to
the left, but you can't go directly there due to the dud tiles that cancel out
your water-walking-on abilities. Here's a big 'ol chart of the room:
To the chest with a SLEEP BOMB:
_____________________________

| | | |
You'll have to go back to the beginning again due to some dud tiles.
To the exit:
_____________________________

| | | |-8-7 | |

| |_______|_ _|___________|
| | | |
Yay. This takes you to the left side of the room behind the statue. Head
through the door, and then through the waterfall in the middle.
Puzzle #3 - Filling the Pool
You won't get very far in the next room unless you fill it up with water. To
start, head to the room in the north. Inside, you'll find another pipe puzzle.
This really is almost too simple to be worthy of one of my puzzle sections, but
I thought I'd include it. Push the upper most pipe into position, then the
lower horizontal pipe, and finally the third vertical pipe. This fills up the
previous room with water, and now you can hop across to the stairs.
Head up a couple flights of stairs until you reach a button. There's nothing
you can do about it at the moment, as you need to hold the button down to keep
the door open. Just head up the next set of steps.
Puzzle #4 - Dropping the Statue
This was a little bit harder than puzzle #3, so I had to give it a section, in
all fairness. Head left and up to the stairway at the north. Loop around the
right side of the movable vertical pipe (it's a different color). Push it once,
and it will push the statue a bit with a different water stream. Push the
horizontal pipe down while you're here, and then loop around to the left side
of the vertical one. Pushing it to the right makes moves the statue again. Now
push it back to the left, and push the horizontal pipe down. Pushing it back to
the right again will finally push the statue down the hole. Go back downstairs
and push the statue onto the button to open the door.
In this new room, move the third statue from the left to side to open a room
with a NUT. Head back into the previous room and continue on to the statue on
the far right side of the room. Move it aside, and enter the other side of the
same room. Pushing the pipe into place pushes the entire wall out of the way
and reveals a door.
The only waterfall in this room that contains anything is the fourth one from
the right. Enter it to find Sleet, the Mercury Djinni. Unfortunately, you'll
have to fight it before it joins you. Head out of the room and continue to the
left. Continue through various rooms, and enter the last room in the next
waterfall hallway. When you reach a dead end, use Ply on the statue, and ride
the waterfall to the top of the lighthouse. Pick up the Psynergy Stone, and get
ready for a battle!
Boss Fight - Saturos
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended level: 12
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Granite, Breeze, and Forge are a good idea for the start of the battle. Use
plenty of Djinni attacks, and water based psynergy against Saturos. The level
two summons (Atalanta, Ramses, Nereid, and Kirin) all do massive damage as well.
Remember to heal with Issac, Mia, and Fizz often. Saturos tends to use Fireball
a lot, and this does a lot of damage... it'll be hard to heal everyone quick
enough, so your best bet really is to hit hard and fast, hoping he falls before
you do.
You get a PSY CRYSTAL for winning the battle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Head to the left after the battle and take the elevator down. The fountain has
filled up, and the town of Imil has healed. Remember that you need to get some
HERMES' WATER in your Empty Bottle before you leave (you didn't forget about
Tret and Kolima did you?).

Now head all the way through Bilibin Cave, to Bilibin, and then to the
barricade.
BILIBIN BARRICADE
-----------------
When you enter the barricade, you'll notice that the tree people aren't stacked
on top of each other anymore. In fact, one of them is in danger of being washed
down the river. For now, hop into the shallow water and use Move to bring the
tree-person to safety.
KOLIMA FOREST

Buy a Bronze Helm for Issac and Garet, and an Armlet for Ivan and Mia. Buy at
least one Broad Axe, but consider keeping the Elven Rapier for a bit longer,
especially if you're low on funds. Now head back through the barricade.

four.
Now head all the way back to Kolima and follow the dirt path to the east to
reach Kolima Bridge.

The dude here will lower the bridge for you.

| Psynergy Stone |
| Unicorn Ring |
----------------
This isn't really even a town, but there are a quite a bit of people here to
talk to. Your main task here is to talk to Nyunpa, who is in the temple
meditating. Before you talk to him, you can use the Psynergy Stone right
outside, and check a jar inside the temple for a UNICORN RING, which prevents
the wearer from being poisoned. Using Mind Read on Nyunpa will cause him to
notice you. He'll give you permission to enter the cave beneath the waterfall.
FUCHIN FALLS CAVE

| Dragon's Eye |

| Orb of Force |
--------------
Djinn

------------------
| Zephyr (Jupiter) |
------------------
The stone that you see when you enter gives you a hint at what you need to do
to make it through the cave. Take the log to the right across the lake, and
open the chest. This is another Mimic, and is even harder than the last one you
fought. For defeating it, you get a GAME TICKET. In the next room, hop across
the stumps until you reach the door on the left side of the room. Travel all
the way to the dark room and head down the stairs.
Walk past the first log for now and hop on the one below it. It leads to a
chest containing an ARCTIC BLADE. Have Issac equip it, and give Garet the Broad
Axe if you only have one. Now head back and take the other log across the lake
to enter a new area. Due to all the spikes, you'll have to travel to the south
end of the room to reach the log that will let you pass them all.
Now you'll be back in the first room, but a different area. Ride the log across
the lake and head through the door. Sneak past the spikes and roll the log to
the south. Roll the vertical log to the left against the wall, and take the
horizontal one north again. Jump on the stump in the water, and ride the
vertical log all the way over to the Djinni, Zephyr. You'll have to fight this
Djinni, so start out the battle by summoning Ramses, and maybe Nereid and
Kirin. Atalanta won't do much damage. And of course, after the battle, it will
join you. Avoid the spikes as you head to the south and ride the log north to
the door.
In this new room, walk onto the two horizontal logs and take the top one north.
Hop off and take the vertical one to your right to the left side of the lake.
Hop back to dry land to the north, and head all the way to the south to take
the other horizontal log north. Jump across to land and head down the steps.
Here you'll find the DRAGON'S EYE. Head back up the steps, and take the other
set of steps that lie to the north. Follow the path to a dragon statue. Placing
the eye in the socket causes the dragon to light up the room with fire. Now you
can see an invisible bridge that leads over the pit. Well, you can't see it...
but you can see the shadow.
Head back into the room with all the logs and take the log across the tiny lake
at the bottom to enter the room with all the stumps again. Head for the door on
the left side of the room again. You'll eventually make it to the other side of
the dragon room where you can cross the invisible bridge. Follow this path, and
jump down the notch in the cliff. Enter the door and pick up the Orb of Force.
Equipping this items allows you to get the Force psynergy, which is just a big
fist that flies out from you. The exit to the cave should be pretty
straightforward.
Back in town, speak with Nyunpa one more time, and head out to Mogall Forest,
to the south.
MOGALL FOREST

| Douse Drop |
| Elven Shirt |
| Nut |

----------------
| Quartz (Venus) |
----------------
As soon as you enter the area, you'll see an ape like creature jump into a
stump. Mogall Forest is a maze, and if you take a wrong turn, you'll find
yourself going in circles. Whenever you see a stump, you can use Force on it to
scare the ape out of the stump. This causes him to run down a specific path out
of the area, which happens to be the path you should take. Occasionally, the
ape will jump out and attack you, but they aren't too hard. For the sake of the
walkthrough, I'm just going to tell you which exit to take from each area.
From the first area, head south until you reach an area with logs and a river.
If you use Force on the stump to the left, an Ape will jump out and attack you.
Over to the right is another simple log moving puzzle, that shouldn't give you
much trouble.
_
| | Push log 1 to the right.
1| | Push log 2 down.
| | Push log 1 to the left.
|_|_______ Push log 2 up into the water.
|_______|
2
The NUT in the tree to the right is a little tricky to get. If you're in the
corner, it won't work, so move down a step, and try from there. (Using Catch of
course). Use the path that leads to the right. You'll eventually come across an
area with two big stumps and four exits. Using Force on the stumps will cause
an ape to jump out and go in a different direction. The only path you shouldn't
take is the one to the north. Head east first, and open the chest here for an
APPLE. I suggest giving it to Issac. Back in the area with the two stumps, head
south.
Directly to the right of where you enter the next big area is a log with a
stone in front of it. Use Move to get the stone out of your way, and push the
log. Another perfectly simple log moving puzzle:
_______
|_______|
1 Push log 1 down.
_ Push log 2 left.
| | Push log 1 up.
| | Push log 2 left into the water.
2| |
|_|
Now you can reach the Djinni to the south. Quartz will fight you, and then join
you. Quartz is an extremely good Djinni in that it can bring downed party
members back.
Now head back to the north, cross the bridge, and exit the area to the left.
The new area has three stumps now, and four exits. Again, the north exit
doesn't lead anywhere, but if you explore it, you'll find a Psynergy Stone. The
exit to the left leads to an area with a chest. To get it, use Move on the
stone to move it towards the water. Push the log against the stone, and then
Move it again. This will let you get the ELVEN SHIRT. Since Ivan probably has
the lowest Defense, you should give it to him, unless you want to boost Garet's
Agility (or anyone else's for that matter). In the area with four exits, head
south.
This area really isn't as complicated as it looks. The log to the north can be
pushed into the water to access the stump, and the logs to the south can only
be pushed (and only need to be pushed) a single time in a single direction.
Take the exit to the south. This is the last area of the forest, and if you try
to exit, an ape bigger than all the rest will jump out from the stump and
attack.

Before the battle starts out, unequip everyone's Djinn except for: Flint on
Issac, Fever on Garet, Gust on Ivan, and Sleet on Mia. When the battle starts
out, use these four Djinn on the Killer Ape, and the next round, summon Procne,
Cybele, Kirin, and Nereid. If that doesn't take care of the ape, use physical
attacks in the next round to finish it off.

Xian is a silk trading town, but business has been failing lately due to the
meddling of Saturos and Menardi.
The fenced in area to the left as you enter the town has a jar in the upper
left corner. Check it to find a LUCKY MEDAL. The small house above the Inn has
a tall barrel in the back that contains an ELIXIR. The left hand door in the
cliff face to the north of the small house contains a SLEEP BOMB in the jar
next to the bed.
The Weapon and Armor shop in the northwest corner of town contains some very
good (yet overly expensive) goods. Sell your Elven Rapier if you haven't
already for a good boost in funds. For Issac and Garet, pick up an Iron Shield
and a Battle Rapier each. For Ivan, buy a Silver Circlet, and for Mia, buy a
Silk Robe and a Silver Circlet. You probably won't have the money to buy
weapons for Ivan or Mia yet.
At the north end of town, there is a woman walking back and forth with some
water. Talking to her causes her to spill it. Talk to her when she's one step
away from the wall, and she'll spill it in a position where you can freeze it
with the Frost psynergy and jump across to a ledge with Mist, the Mercury
Djinn, who joins without a fight.
When you're ready, enter the dojo at the north end of town. Use Force on the
big log here (from behind the line), and you'll prompt a cut scene where Feh
and his daughter Feizhi burst out of the room arguing about Hsu, Feh's son.
You're asked to use Force again after Feizhi leaves. After the conversation,
head to the south end of town and talk to Fehzhi. Your next destination is the
Alpine Crossing.

When you exit the town, head straight north through some forest and across a

Corona. Defeat it in battle, and it will join you (but you knew that by now).
To reach the Alpine Crossing (which happens to not appear as an actual area on
the world map), head to the south until you hit the dirt path again, and follow
it to the west.

Fehzhi will show up when you enter, but there's nothing you can do about Hsu
now. Before you exit the area, use Frost on the puddle here, and give Issac a

down the notch in the cliff, and jump across the ice pillar you made to get the
POWER BREAD from the chest. Exit the are to the north.

Altin is a medium sized mining town just north of the Alpine Crossing.
Recently, creatures called Living Statues have flooded the entire town. This
means that the only establishment open for now is the Inn. When you enter, push
the statue out of the way, and get the PSY CRYSTAL from inside. Head to the Inn
next, and check the middle of the top bunk bed on the right side of second
floor until you find a SLEEP BOMB.
When you exit the Inn, head down the ladder, and down until you see a creature
hop into a cave. This is a Living Statue, and they are the source of the
flooding in Altin. Follow it into the cave.

Follow the mine cart tracks for a long while (past a door and some dead ends)
until you reach a large room with a lake. Head to the left to reach a mine

started. Use the switch to the right to change the direction of the track.

After the water drains, take the mine cart back to the other side of the ledge.
Forget about the door that you uncovered in this room, as there's nothing you
can do inside there yet. Head south out of the room and follow the tracks until
you reach the door you passed earlier. The water will have drained in this
area, allowing you to climb down the ladder and enter a new area.
When you reach the tracks, head left all the way to the track switch. Flip that
and head back to the right until you reach the mine cart. Ride it to the exit
of this area. Head left in the new area until you reach a chest. The chest is a
mimic, so use the same strategies you've used for previous ones. You get a GAME
TICKET for defeating it. Exit to the south into a new area. Use Frost on the
puddle here to make a pillar that lets you jump across to the door.
You'll now be in another large room full of broken mine car tracks, and a
Living Statue on the right side of the room. Climb down the ladder and head
left. Use Frost on the puddle north and to the right of the first ladder you
see, and then climb up and jump across to reach the mine cart. Jump in, and it
will take you to a chest containing a DRAGON SHIELD. Equip it on Issac or Garet
(whoever has the lowest Defense). Take the mine cart back and climb down the
ladder. Head all the way left and climb up the ladder that leads to the switch.
Hit it, go back to the mine cart, and ride to all the way to the right, where
you can fight the next Living Statue.

Follow the tracks to the right through two doors until the tracks end. Head
south and look for the chest in the corner. It contains a LUCKY MEDAL. Follow
the path to the right and enter a new area. You'll see a Djinni when you enter,
but we'll get to that in a second. Head to the right and use Move on the pillar
to move it one space left, and use Frost on the puddle to freeze it. Climb up
the ladder to the north, hit the switch, and jump across to the mine cart. Ride
it to the upper right area, and then jump in again and let it take you to the
Djinni. You'll have to fight Spritz before it joins you, but one you get it,
it's a very good Djinni (Spritz heals the entire party).
Ride the mine car back across, and head to the left, freezing the puddle.
Continue left along the ledge, and freeze the next puddle. Climb up the ladder
to the right of the first puddle, and hop across to the door. Follow this long
hallway all the way to the end where you enter the upper portion of a previous
room. Pick your way north through the rocks to find a sign and a log. Use Force
on the log to knock an enormous boulder down and watch as it crashes through
the floor. This is where you're headed now. Climb down the ladder and jump down
the notch in the cliff. Interestingly enough, the mine track has now become a
ladder that you can climb down.
Boss Fight - Hydros Statue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended level: 17
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not a battle to be taken lightly at all. Before you start the battle,
unequip all of Garet's Djinn so that you can summon Tiamat at the beginning of
the battle. Whether you want to do this with other characters as well is up to
you.
Make good use of attack Djinn, and consider using the stat changing ones
(especially the ones that raise your defense). Remember to use Fizz and Spritz
frequently, because they are very very helpful at this point in the game. When
your Djinn are on standby, use powerful psynergy attacks like Issac's Ragnarok
and Garet's Volcano.
Power isn't everything. Issac can do lots of damage in this battle, but you'll
also want to utilize his healing capabilities. Don't be afraid of using one of
his turns to heal.
If you want to powerhouse your way through the battle, summon every one of your
highest summons the first round, and then use your most powerful psynergy the
second. That will most likely finish him off if you're at least level 17.
EXP - 496
COINS - 2400
ITEM - LUCKY MEDAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pick up the LIFTING GEM from the chest. At this point, return to Altin.
ALTIN
-----
All you really need to do here is rest if you need it, and buy two Claymores
(for Garet and Issac). You'll get plenty of cash back for your Battle Rapiers.
Now head back into the mines (the door in the middle area of the town).
ALTIN PEAK
----------
Items
-----
--------
| Cookie |
| Vial |
--------
Follow the tracks all the way to the long since drained out lake. Climb down
the ladder into the lakebed and enter the door here. Use your newfound Lift
abilities to get the chest containing a COOKIE. Issac is the best person to
give this to, as he has a low PP, and you will be using Ragnarok and Cure a
lot.
Head back to Altin and take the lower entrance to the mines again. This time,
head north and use lift on the boulder behind the arrow, and enter a short
area. Head left when you first enter the area, and use Move on the pillar to
enter a room with a VIAL. Head back out and take the hallway to the right. Use
Lift on the next boulder, and continue through to the world map.
LAMA TEMPLE
-----------
Items
-----
----------------
| 6 Coins |
| Psynergy Stone |
| Water of Life |
----------------
Heal with the Psynergy Stone if you need it, and head north and enter the
temple to prompt a cut scene between Master Hama and Ivan. Ivan will learn
Reveal, which will allow you to progress through the next area of the game (as
well as uncover some items that you missed earlier; don't worry, I'll tell you
where all of them are, there are more pressing matters at hand, namely rescuing
Hsu... you can't backtrack yet anyway). Before you leave the town, use your new
Psynergy Reveal on the rock to the right. Underneath is a chest with a WATER OF
LIFE. Exit the town and head right to the Alpine Crossing.
ALPINE CROSSING
---------------
At first, it seems that you can't reach Hsu, but use Reveal. A door will open
up in the cliff wall that leads right next to him. Use Lift on the boulder that
he's trapped under, and Master Hama and Fehzhi will thank you. You don't
actually get anything for doing this... but it sure was nice of you, huh? After
that, head south to the Lamakin Desert.
LAMAKIN DESERT

-------------------
Djinn
-----
----------------
| Smog (Jupiter) |
----------------
The Lamakin Desert is too hot to simply run through. Periodically, you'll come
across a ring of stones that you can use Reveal on to make an oasis appear and
cool your characters off. Stepping on the lighter sand causes the gauge on the
left side of the screen to start filling up, and the only way to bring it back
down is to jump in an oasis. Having it fill up all the way will cause your
characters to receive a sizeable amount of damage, and the meter will start
from the bottom.
Your first trial run through the hot sands starts immediately. Run until you
reach the ring of stones, and use Reveal on them to find the oasis. When you
reach the sanctuary of the dark patch of sand, follow it until you reach
another circle of stones. Casting Reveal will show the hidden Psynergy Stone
here. Head north (using the oasis on the way) to the next patch of dark sand.
At the fork here, head north, and use reveal to find a chest with a VULCAN AXE.
Head back south to the dark sand, and use the oasis just to the south. Equip
the Axe on Issac. Now head to the north again and take a right at the fork. The
first ring of stones here contain an Ant Lion, a powerful enemy that you might
want to avoid, unless you think you can take it on. The next ring of stones
contain the oasis, and from there, head north to the next area.
The next area is pretty huge. It was easier for me to make a map than to give
you directions around the area, so here it is. Each number or letter represents
a ring of stones, and the key is below.

A - Ant Lion
D - Smog Djinni
Smog will join you without a fight by the way. And the Lucky Pepper... use that
on whoever you used the first one on (I suggested Ivan way back when).
In the new area, head to the left across two waterfalls until you reach a
seeming dead end with a waterfall. Use Reveal and head into the new tunnel.
Coming out the other end, let the waterfall take you off the cliff (or just
climb down). To the right is a hidden oasis and a hidden chest with a MINT,
which you should use on Garet. Just don't get trapped by the Ant Lion that
lurks in the left most circle of stones.
Climb back up and head left across the waterfalls. Use Reveal on the sand
waterfall here, and you'll be attacked by the Manticore.
Boss Fight - Manticore
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended level: 17
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the Manticore is a desert-based creature, you'll be able to hurt it very
badly by summoning Mercury Djinn. Unequip all of Ivan and Mia's Djinn before
the battle, and start off by summoning Boreas and Thor. Those two attacks will
deplete over 1000 HP from the monster. Cure when you need to, and heal poison
when necessary. Manticore will fall after about 700 HP more of damage. (Summon
a few creatures).

-------------------------------
It's been a while since you've had a nice big town to raid, so indulge yourself
in Kalay. The pots near the graves to the left side of the entrance contain a
VIAL. Also near the graves is a tree with a NUT in it. Check a barrel in the
house in the lower right portion of town for 11 COINS. Head down the stairs in
the Inn, and check the first barrel there for an ELIXIR. The house to the right
of the Inn has a SMOKE BOMB in the oven, and you can get a SLEEP BOMB by
checking the jar above the Armor shop.
Now for stocking up on equipment. Sell your extra Claymore for some quick cash,
and pick up the following items. For Issac, keep his Vulcan Axe (the unleash is
worth it), and buy a Mail Cap. For Garet, buy a Great Axe and a Mail Cap. Now
for Ivan... you're going to get a lot. Start with the Frost Wand for him, and
then buy a Jerkin, a Heavy Armlet, and a Mail Cap. For Mia, buy the Psynergy
Rod, a Jerkin, a Heavy Armlet, and a Mail Cap. If you can't afford all this,
you should be close anyway, so just fight out on the world map until you have
the money.
When you're ready, head north and enter Hammet's mansion (remember the dude
from the beginning of the game that's STILL trapped in Lunpa?). Lady Layana
will talk to Issac and crew for a while, and decide that it's not the time to
go on a rescue mission. Don't worry, soon we'll go back for Hammet and get some
other stuff that we missed as well. For now, search the barrels in the right
wing of the mansion for a NUT. Now head back to the main portion of town.
The house in the northeastern corner has external stairs that you can climb up
to a porch type thing, and from there jump to the cliffs that surround the
town. Move the statue out of the way up here to reveal a cave. Move the statue
inside to block the waterfall and drain the pool. Climb down into the pit and
up again to reach the Mars Djinni Scorch, who joins without a fight. There's
nothing else you can do in this sewage area yet, but we'll come back later.
VAULT

Items

------
| Bone |
------
Now that the bridge has been repaired north of Kalay, you can return to the
town of Vault to the north. The enemies in the area remain weak, so you won't
have a problem getting there. Before you attempt the medium dungeon type area
under Vault, go to the bell tower and ring it to flush the Djinni out of
hiding. If you don't do this, your trek through the dungeon will be pointless!
Once you've done that, head to the Inn, and pick up a BONE. Take this to the
dog near the graves, and it'll move. You can use Reveal to find the entrance to
the cave.
VAULT CAVE

Djinn

| Sap (Venus) |
-------------
Heading to the right as you enter will bring you to a Mimic chest. Defeat it
for a VIAL. After that, head left and continue on through some doors until you
reach a room with two torches and a switch. I'm assuming you'd be able to
figure it out, but just push the torch onto the switch to open the gate.
In the next room, use Whirlwind on the ivy to uncover a room with a VAMBRACE.
Equip this on Issac and give his Dragon Shield to Garet. Back in the previous
room, you'll have to use Frost on the puddles to make it to the left side. In
the next room, climb down and up the ladders (skip the stairs for now) and exit
to the south. Take the set of stairs immediately to the right, and press the
switch here to drain the water. Go back into the previous room and take the
southern exit.
Puzzle - Tricky Torches
This is actually a pretty tough puzzle, as it requires timing as well as
thinking. You're going to have to push the torch from its starting point to the
switch to the north. First get rid of the unlit one by pushing it down two
spaces. Here is the way to push the lit torch:
1. Push it up one space.
2. Stand on the left side of the pillar, wait until the water drips,
and push it like crazy to the right until you can't push it anymore.
3. Push it up as much as you can.
4. Push it left two spaces.
5. Wait for the water droplet to fall, and push it left really fast
again.
6. Push it down one space, then left, and then up.
7. Push it right one space.
8. Wait for the final water droplet to fall, and push it to the right.
9. Push it onto the switch!
Head up the stairs, enter the door to the left, head south, climb down the
ladder, enter the door, jump across the gap, climb the ladder, head up the
stairs to the right, and finally exit the cave. Here you'll find Sap, who will
join you immediately. Head all the way back through the cave back into Vault.
VALE

A short trip across the world map will bring you back to Vale. Take a short
trip to visit Issac's mom and Garet's family. They'll be happy to see him.
Also, check the barn in the northeast corner of the plaza. The doors will be
open now (they weren't in the beginning). Check a jar in the back for a VIAL, a
box in the middle for 123 COINS, and of course, there's the pretty much useless
Psynergy Stone sitting in the middle of the floor (considering the limitless
large one is at the front of town). Now head back to Kraden's house and lift
the boulder to the left of it using Lift to access a new area.

----------------
There isn't much you can do to the right or straight forward, so you'll have to
go left. Use Reveal to uncover the hidden stepping-stone in the ring of stones,
and hop across. In the next room, use Move on the crate to the right to get it
out of your way. Enter the door to the south, and grab the NUT from the chest
in this area. Head back and use push the other crate into the water to create a
path to the log.
Head left at first in the next area (right is a dead end), and head through the
door at the end. Push the log off the cliff, jump the gap, push the other log
off, and jump down. Push the horizontal log up and cross the water. The chest
in the next area contains the HALT GEM. Equip this and approach the Djinni.
It'll jump down and start circling around a pile of rubble. Align it so that
the Djinni is opposite of you and use Halt on it. Just talk to it after to make
Kite the Djinni join you. Now exit the cave.
BILIBIN CAVE
------------
Items

---------------
| Psy Crystal |

---------------
From Vale, head east on the world map, past Vault, until you reach Goma Cave.
Use the shortcut that you made before to blast through the cave. Once you're on
the world map again, head north and then west to Bilibin Cave.
Head back to the room with all the ice pillars. Use Douse on the small flame
next to the puddle, and it will become an ice pillar once more. Now head back
out to the entrance area, and use Growth on the sprout to reach the alternate
cave entrance. Follow it to the end where the chest is, and use Reveal on the
wall to uncover a hidden door. Use Douse on the small flame in your way.
In the next room, jump to the ledge on the right, and use the ice pillar that
you made to reach a door with two chests. They contain a PSY CRYSTAL and a
WATER OF LIFE. Was it worth it to come all the way out here for these two
items? I guess so. I did it.
KALAY
-----
Yes, you have to head all the way back to Kalay now, south of Vault. Talk to
all the people in the tour group in the Inn, and then try to exit the town via
the west exit. After the cut scene, head southwest on the world map to reach
Kalay Docks.

---------------
You'll find the Tolbi-Bound Ship to be a place of frustration and mutiny. The
passengers want to leave, but the Captain is hesitant because of sea monsters.
You're going to have to get things going by yourself.
First order of business: raid the ship of valuables! Head down the stairway in
the middle of the deck first. The barrel at the south end of the room contains
a LUCKY MEDAL. Head in the door behind the chef, and check a barrel here for 23
COINS. Head to the south end of the deck to find the Captain's cabin. A really
suspicious looking guy will run out when you get near. Enter the cabin and
check the jar for a NUT.
Now head back out and talk to the dude that just ran out. He's by the prow of
the ship, and if you use Mind Read on him, you'll find that he hid the Anchor
Charm on top of the mast. Head up there, and check around for the ANCHOR CHARM.
Now head back into the area behind the chef again (where you found the 23
Coins) and head north to prompt a cut scene. After they rush out, follow them
to the Captain's quarters. After some fighting and yelling, give the Captain
the Anchor Charm, and the ship will finally be on its merry way. Head down
below the passenger quarters to reach where the people row. Your job is to
protect the rowers, and select new ones if any are injured.
Now, there's a secret area you can get to now called Crossbone Isle. If you
want to reach it, you have to select passengers in a specific order to row.
There are a few benefits of doing this now, and I'll continue the walkthrough
as if you selected this course.
After just a little bit, monsters will attack the ship.
Fight #1 - Man o' War X3
After the battle, go upstairs to choose a new oarsman. The guy you want is the
arrogant dude in the green cape on the right side of the room.
"Hey! You're not thinking of making me an oarsman, are you?"
Fight #2 - Lizard Fighter, Rabid Bat X2
Another oarsman is needed. The bald guy on the left side of the room is who
you're looking for.
"What? Ohhhh, noooo... Are you going to make me row?"
Fight #3 - Virago, Man o' War X2
Now you want the chef.
"You... You must be joking. You want me to row?"
Boss Fight - Kraken
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended level: 20
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Kraken is one tough customer. It packs almost 2,500 HP, and only using
strong summons will make a big dent in that massive amount of health. Meteor,
Judgement, and Thor will all do massive damage. The damage cause by Boreas will
be muted due to the Kraken's resistance to water.
Other than summons, use strong psynergy and attack Djinn. Ragnarok and Tornado
are good psynergies to use. It should only have about 400 HP left once you've
summoned all your Djinn.
EXP - 711
COINS - 5200
ITEM - WATER OF LIFE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, you need to select one more rower. Choose the old man in the
bottom left.
"Out of all these people, you're asking a frail old man like me to row?"
This combination of oarsman will take you to Crossbone Isle, and you'll have a
whole new place to explore. You're asked to disembark and scout ahead.

At first, there doesn't seem to be anything of interest on the isle. It's also
strangely devoid of enemies. However, you can enter an area if you walk in
between all the mountains. Use Growth on the first three sprouts here to get to
the highest level (the ivy on the way doesn't hide anything). Head right from
here to grab a NUT from the tree.
Now, drop down the right hand crack in the cliff, and open the chest here for a
MINT. Back at the top, slide down the middle crack and open this chest for 1
COIN (cool...). Once again, back at the top, take the left most crack down and
blow away the ivy with Whirlwind to reveal the entrance to the cave.
This dungeon is comprised of many different layers. They each start out with a
powerful enemy that you have to fight, and then there's a puzzle inside the
room that you have to solve to continue, and there are many treasures to be had
as well. Head down to reach the first door.

Boss Fight - Hobgoblin, Virago X2

Unequip four Djinn of your two fastest characters (most likely Ivan and Issac).
Summon these Djinn immediately, and you should win the battle.
EXP - 397
COINS - 1040
ITEM - LUCKY MEDAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run all the way to the right around the perimeter of the room to get an
ANTIDOTE. Back at the beginning, as if you had just come out of the door, jump
across the block below the stone pillar. Move it to the left, and jump across
to the chest to get a NUT. Exit the area to reset the stone, and enter again.
This time, move that stone pillar to the right, and collect 111 COINS from the
chest. Move the next stone pillar to the right to reach a chest with a HARD
NUT. Once again, leave the room to reset the pillars. This time, move the
second pillar to the left, and then the third pillar to the right. For the
fourth pillar, you'll have to move it to the middle of the platform, jump to
the right to circle back around, and then move the fourth pillar to the right
one more time. This will lead you to the exit of the room.
When you exit, you can fight the Mimic here. Summons should make short work of
it. You receive a POTION for winning. After the battle, push the stone pillar
into the pit as a shortcut.

In the this new room, open the chest in front of you for an ELIXIR. The chest
to the right contains 222 COINS. The chest to the right of that one contains a
LUCKY PEPPER. Push the pillar to the left of this chest to the left. Push the
horizontal pillar under it up, and then do the same for the other horizontal
pillar you can reach. Push the vertical pillar to the right, and then push the
remaining horizontal pillar up. The last chest contains a MYSTERY BLADE. Equip
this on Issac.
Floor 3

Boss Fight - Lich, Fiendish Ghoul X2

Once again, just use the usual strong summon technique to waste the enemies the
first turn.
EXP - 437
COINS - 1418
ITEM - PSY CRYSTAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This room is a little weird. If you want to get all the treasures, you'll have
to use Catch to grab all the keys lying around the area. If you want to just
exit the area, you can grab that specific key and skip all the chests, but it's
worth it to grab them all.
You'll see the first key right away. You can grab it immediately without even
jumping to any platforms. Stand on the protrusion and use Catch to get the
first BLUE KEY. Head to the right, and do a little u-turn with the stepping-
stones to get into position to grab the second BLUE KEY from the right side.
Head back to the left, and head up when you have the chance. You'll be able to
nab the third BLUE KEY from here. Head back to the entrance, and use the stones
on the left to reach the stone above the fourth key. Grab this final BLUE KEY,
and jump across to the blue doors in the back.
They contain, in order from left to right, 333 COINS, a FAIRY RING, a COOKIE,
and a SMOKE BOMB. South of this last chest, jump on the different colored
stone. Use reveal to uncover the final key. Use Catch to get the RED KEY, and
use it to exit the area.
Floor 4
-------
Boss Fight - Gryphon X2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended level: 20
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The usual cheap tactic works here: three or four strong summons do the trick
the first round. If not, just use regular attacks the second round, and it's a
sure win.
EXP - 606
COINS - 3800
ITEM - POTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where your expeditions of Crossbone Isle fall short. You won't be able
to get through this room without the Cloak psynergy, but rest assured I'll
guide you through later. All the statues in this room will block your way if
they see you. You can use Halt on some of them, however, and this will allow
you to get a treasure for now. Use Halt on the statue directly in front of you
(when it's not in the way of the passageway) to get a SLEEP BOMB.
Now all you can do is return to the ship. You should be pretty rich, with a few
extra items now.

Head west past Tolbi for now and cross the bridge leading north. There's
another bridge to the northwest that leads south onto a small area of land. Run
around here to encounter Hail, the Mercury Djinni. Head back across that
bridge, and head right along the dirt path. Ignore the next bridge that you
come across and head right until you reach the Kalay Docks again. You'll be
able to enter the area from the north and get the Venus Djinni Ground. (You'll
notice that the Djinni will join whoever has the empty space; most likely
Garet, if you're just being traditional; anyway, this is only temporary, and
you'll be able to fix it once we get the Djinni in Tolbi. So head back there
now.
