The sequel to one of the best handheld RPGs of all time (and one of the better RPGs for any other system, as well), Golden Sun 2: The Lost Age is a direct continuation of the first game. Not only can your characters transfer over from the first game, but the story line continues as well.
The basic premise is this: "The world is dying and must be saved". Dogged by bad guys every step of the way, Felix and his friends must travel the world looking for a way to save the world. The problem is that it may also bring about its destruction...
We have tried to make the walkthrough as spoiler-free as possible. For those that are interested in finding everything in the game, check out the Collectibles section. Make sure you also visit the basics section where all of the key gameplay issues (classes, passwords and the various puzzle-solving spells) are discussed.
Rename Characters
Instead of entering a new name for Felix, press SELECT, SELECT, SELECT. This will allow you to enter new names for other people (Garet, Ivan, Mia). Press UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, RIGHT, DOWN, LEFT, UP, SELECT to enter even more new names.
Unlock New Difficulties
Beat the game once to unlock the new difficulties. With your Clear Data save, select New Game. You can play on Easy if selecting that option, or say No in order to play on Hard.
Unlockable: Sound Test
Enter the Battle Arena and while holding L + R speak to the girl in the lower left corner of the room. You can only hear songs that youve heard in-game.
Hint: Extra Summons
There are several extra combo summons to be found. With the exception of Azul, you need to know Teleport from the Mars Lighthouse.
Azul: Treasure Island (defeat Star Magician)
Dealdus: Yampi Cave (defeat Vakuar)
Catastrophe: Tropical island (Sentinel) Note: You must complete trading process (give baby turtle to older turtle for ride to spot) first.
Iris: Inside Anemos Sanctum (defeat boss)
Hint: Instant Forging
To have the Blacksmith in Yallam forge items faster, just enter the sanctum and exit again. The item will have been forged and ready for you to receive.
Hint - Earn A Trident
To get the trident you must get all its three pieces. The center prong is on a long snow covered island with cracked ice. The right prong is on the top of the shirne of the sea god. The left prong is on the top of the Ankini Ruins.
Hint - Easy Doom Dragon Kill
To kill Doom Dragon, have Felix, Jenna, Isaac, and Sheba should be in the party. Isaac and Felix should be holding the Sol Blade or Masume. All of Isaacs djinn should be on standby.
Have Felix summon Judgement using Isaacs Djinn, and have Sheba casting High Impact. Jenna should be healing. Once your attack is at its highest, have Sheba start to us Djinn and summoning Thor.
When you run out of summons, use Felix to attack while equipped with the Sol Blade. Once you kill one of its heads, switch Jenna to Mia. Also, you might want to switch Sheba to Piers.
Have Mia continue where Jenna left off, and Piers attacking via Djinn. (You should have Piers or Felix equipped with at least 2 Water of Lifes.) Continue your onslaught. If anybody is downed, revive them using items.
If Djinn Blast is used, switch Mia with Jenna, and just do normal attacks with the rest of your characters. When you get it down to its third and final head, remember to periodically switch off Jenna and Mia to keep a healer on the field at all times and to escape the Djinn Blast.
By now youll want to keep your defense up, so avoid using Djinn and resort to attacking normally. Keep it up, and you should win.
