Golden Sun Series (PLEASE REPLY I'm cold on some nights and need companionship)

[Felix]

Anybody played Golden Sun? I'm playing Golden Sun: The Lost Age at the moment and it's soooo difficult. Beating the monsters is easy but the puzzles are really hard and I'm getting stuck every 5 minutes. It's a great game but it really bugs me sometimes.

[Umbra]

I think I've beaten both games. Can't remember if I killed the last boss, though.

 

Camelot needs to make a third.

They were going to (for the DS), but Nintendo decided to not work with them anymore. And the one they were developing was a really cool prequal. Although you could still transfer data from The Lost Age (Perfect score for me) so I am wondering how that would work.

Source now.

Has anybody else beat Deadbeard in the first one? I beat him but I was using GameFAQs.

[Felix]

I've never played the first, I only have TLG. What's Dead Beard like? I assume he's tough.

Deadbeard is to the original what Dullahan is to TLA. He's the Pirate King, y'arr!

[Felix]

Why the feck did I put a G?... I'm up to the Shaman bit on TLA, I've been carrying that stupid Shaman Staff for 7 years and have had no idea what to do with it and yes 7 years, I got Golden Sun the same day I got my first hand held; the funky lookin' GBA.

[Umbra]

Aren't you supposed to head up to that indianNative American village and make a run for it, battle the indiansNative Americans and then trade it for the Hover thing?

[Felix]

Yeah done that now, god that end battle took ages. I just meant that until you get to show Moapa the Shaman Staff it has no previous benefits whatsoever.

[Umbra]

Well, it's a quite sucky weapon.

 

But I still need a sequel.

[Felix]

I don't like the idea of a prequal. I'd prefer one where another problem occurs, maybe one where they are required to go in a funky dimension.

[Umbra]

I'd like possibly a few centuries ahead, where the landmasses have returned to normal (as in King Hydros' Map).

 

Oh, and Star Magician was annoying.

[Felix]

Star Magician? Wasat?

[Umbra]

One of the four World Bosses.

[Felix]

Ahh I see, I hear that something that starts with “Doom” is the last thing I have to kill and apparently it is very hard to do. I'm at Jupiter Lighthouse now and I have no idea what to do. I've got a locked door, 2 empty balconies and a swirly thing that I can’t do anything with.

[Umbra]

That would be where to use your new Hover Gem.

 

The four world bosses (Star Magician, Sentinel, Valukar, and Dullahan) are definitely worth the fight. Each of them provide a super-powerful Summon, and each of them has something special about them. Sentinel nullifies any Psynergy, Star Magician plays with hissummons balls which do a variety of painful things, Valukar can steal your Djinns and summons, and Dullahan is just being incredibly awesome. He's tougher than Doom Dragon.

[Felix]

I've tried using Hover but nothing was happening, I just did a little jig and that was it.

[Umbra]

Is there a purple circle on the ground? If so, use Hover while standing on it.

[Felix]

I did but that didn't work, I've checked on google and I need to use Cyclone, obviously.

[Umbra]

Oh, that part. Now I know where you are.

 

You didn't get the Dark Book of Dark Secrets then? The Tome-gather-icon?

[Felix]

No I did not, that's quite the crappy name though. What I did just get is an 18PP single target move though. Oh yes I have learnt... Odyssey.

[Umbra]

Tomegathericon is the third of the three class-changing items. It's in the statue of Gabomba, and on the way down you get to abuse Cyclone to death and acquire an Earth Djinni.

[Felix]

Hate getting the Djinn things. When I bought the game I thought there was only one of each element. I've got two guys with 7 and the onther two with 6.

[PrometheusMFD]

I got all of the Djinn in the first game, transfered them to the second game, and got 100% ^_^

I personally felt they put more strategy into the game.
