Since I rushed through the game because I enjoyed it so much, I decided to share my newly acquired knowledge to anyone who might run into trouble doing the game.(Also helping me get my 100% ^^) There is alot to be done, I will be updating on a regular basis so keep in touch!! I am sorry that this is all I have right now, but I am working on it ^^" Constructive comments are always welcome, so be sure to send me an email!! This guide contains **SPOILERS** so be sure to read only the parts you need. I will try to keep from revealing the worst spoilers, but you never know. As for legal junk, all character names, events, items and cities are copyrighted by their respective owners. As for this guide, it cannot be copied in part or in whole unless you have my written conscent. The only website the information is allowed to be showed on is the following: www.gamefaqs.com Please see the contact information at the end of the guide if you wish to use part of all my guide on your website. o============================================================================o | Controls (FAQ1) | o============================================================================o In Golden Sun : Dark Dawn, you can either use the touch screen to play through the game. As for button controls, here is how they work. D-Pad : Move/Choose option A : Search Object/Talk/Accept B : Cancel Y : Change from map to "Djinni Pool" and HP/PP bars X : Open up Menu L&R : Quick use of set Psynergy As for Touch controls, you direct your Psynergies on the field, can tap the shoulder shortcuts (they appear on screen), open the menu, change the map... o============================================================================o | Walktrough (FAQ2) | o============================================================================o ****************************************************************************** IMPORTANT NOTES ****************************************************************************** Here starts the main part of the guide. Each towns will have a list of items for sale, and the town's Artifacts, as for dungeons a list of monsters, treasures and Djinnis to find before starting to write each part. For the encyclopedias, unless specified, all encyclopedias are found within chats that follow the storyline. SOME ARE MISSABLE and will be written as such with an asterisk*. One thing though, MOST Psynergy names will be missables, be sure to get them whenever you see one. For puzzles, I will refer movements as U for up, R for right, D for down, and L for left. As I write the guide, I will keep notes to myself, which will be removed once I can put the info in the appropriate section. Here it goes. ***************************************************************************** I - Rescuing Tyrell (WT01) ***************************************************************************** -= i-Lookout Cabin =- (ID01) _____________________________________________________________________________ New Encyclopedia : Matthew, Isaac, Mount Aleph, Golden Sun, Weyard, Angara, Alchemy, Mourning Moon, Karis, Tyrell, Sol Sanctum, Garet, Wise One, Ivan, Soarwing, Vale, Psynergy Vortex, Psynergy, Adepts, Move Psynergy, Growth Psynergy Update Encyclo : None Found Items : Leather Hat, Short Sword, Sun Saga 1, Padded Gloves, Herb _____________________________________________________________________________ After a somewhat long introduction to the basics of the game's storyline, you will see Isaac and his son Matthew on the side of a cliff, having a chat. Be sure to tap with your style all words in RED if you want to fill your encyclopedia for a perfect game. If you dont acre, just ignore them. Now head west and climb up the ladder for another chat. Tyrell in trouble, you have to go help him. You will be moved to inside the house and learn about equipping your character. Karis will give you a Leather hat, head just north for the chest containing a Short Sword. Head up the stairs, then east. Check the second bookshelf on the northern wall for the Sun Saga 1. This will show a short animation summarizing the events of Golden Sun and Golden Sun : The Lost Age. There are in total 5 tomes to find in the game. Anyways, check the bookcase on its left to get the Encyclopedias for Move and Growth Psynergies. Head West, up the stairs for the Padded Gloves and down the stairs again. Equip your newly acquired items and head south to talk to Karis. She joins your party. Outside the cabin, head west to get an Herb from the westernmost pot. Search. Head back east past the cabin taking the bottom path. You will meet with Isaac and Garet by the bridge, arguing. After the chat, head all the way east and into the cave. -= ii-Goma Plateau =- (ID02) _____________________________________________________________________________ Monsters : Slime (2 xp, 1 gold), Flutter Seed (3 xp, 1 gold, Herb) New Encyclopedia : Psynergy Stone, Tanglewood _____________________________________________________________________________ Just follow the simple path until you are blocked by a yellowish big pillar. For those who didn't play the first Golden Sun games, you can jump on a block that is one "square distance" away from you if there is a gap. All you have to do is push in the direction you want to jump. Anyways, at the pillar, either open your Psynergy menu and use move on it, or backtrack for a quick explanation of how to use psynergies, and about the crystal. You can get the crystal on your way if you are running low on PP, otherwise just run along until you head outside. Head east and down the stairs, and again down the stairs. Use Move on the pillar and move it to the right, you can now leap over the gap. Continue along the road. Isaac will stop you at the bottom for a little talk, again. Once he's done, just run east untile you reach Tanglewood. -= iii-Tanglewood =- (ID03) _____________________________________________________________________________ Monsters : Slime, Flutter Seed, Wild Wolf(7xp,4g), Willowisp(9xp,6g) Rat Soldier(9xp,5g) New Encyclopedia : Djinn, Felix, Warriors of Vale, Fireball Psynergy* Items Found : Herb, Bramble Seed, Elixir _____________________________________________________________________________ As you enter, you will have a chat about Djinns and you will be able to use a few until you rescue Tyrell. Head north untill the crossroad, then east. Forget the first path to the pond and take the longest one around. At the pond, hop left to get the Herb, then back at the start. Now head up until you reach the next big platform. From there, on the left side go down twice, then left to the other side and exit north. This room isn't exactly complicated, just follow around the big vines northwest, then back southeast on the other side, then north east to the chest containing Bramble Seed. Head back south until Garet stops you for a chat. Be sure to tap the Fireball Psynergy encyclopedia. Now head north on the newly cleared path to the next big flower to burn with Fireball, then to the next screen. Go on the bright green ledge, get off it and at the crosspoint head east along the small labirynth along the way, all the way to the flower. Use Fireball to burn it, and proceed on the other ledge. Once back in the middle, hop from ledge to ledge until you can get back down beside the small moving green leaf on in the north easertn corner. Use Growth Psynergy on it. Climb on the newly grown ladder and burn the flower you can see from there. Back down, go around it, then head to the northern exit. In this room, you will need to push the pillars in the water. Start with the one on the right, and go get the Elixir. Now push the other pillar too, be sure to check on the ground where you can push him down. Now, from the pillar, hop U,R,R,U,L, use Move the pillar Down in the water, then jump on the platform. Use Growth on the leaves and climb and exit in the cave once they are done talking. -= iv-Abandoned Mine =- (ID04) _____________________________________________________________________________ Monsters : Wild Wolf, Rat Soldier New Encyclopedia : Elemental Lightouses, Kraden, Mountain Roc, Morgal Items Found : None _____________________________________________________________________________ Follow the path, take the crystal if needed. Use Growth and climb and head east. Follow the track to the next screen. Another event. Once done, head along the path, using Growth as you pass by (You need to be on the same height as the target of your psynergies) and climb down the plant you just grown. Be ready for a boss battle, so heal up. Once you are ready, light up that big flower on the wall. Dont worry too much though, Garet and Isaac will fight with you. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@BOSS FIGHT@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ -Tangle Bloom- (185xp,100g,psi crystal) Recommended Level : 3 This fight is very easy, you just need to have your characters above 40HP, and it will be a real joke. You can either just attack, or spam your Djinnis. You should kill it in a few turns with Garet and Isaac's help. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Once over, hop back on the right, and head over the bridge to Tyrell. Chat. Exit north, and follow the way until the next chat. ***************************************************************************** I - A New Journey (WT02) ***************************************************************************** To be continued... o============================================================================o | Characters (FAQ3) | o============================================================================o Quick description and background of each playable character and a few very important non playable characters in the game.
