Golden Sun Walkthrough: Part 60 - Venus Lighthouse (pt. 2)

[wutgodretodd]

I have been resetting my game for an hour now and my first encounter is just one griffin every time. :(

@wutgodretodd In the first game, whenever you hard reset the monster(s) will always be the same. In TLA, the monsters change every time you reset. I don't know why...

@zipdog hey brooooo guess wat I got a blessed mace but never hard reset it the game.......... do u know y that happened?

[zipdog12]

@NeLfEw240 Yeah you don't HAVE to use an RNG method, but getting an item like you did is very very rare. So, good job! haha

[lazygrids12]

Isaac is a Earth/Venus type and the Venus Lighthouse is the last main Lighthouse, coincidence?

[dzibanszi]

@lazygrids12 Mars is the last :o Unless you mean last main in the first game.

[lazygrids12]

@dzibanszi Of course I'm talking about the first one, this walkthrough isn't about the 2nd one.

[dzibanszi]

@lazygrids12 Well, the "last main" sounded as if you were talking about the whole game :D (what's interesting, Camelot wanted to squeeze it all in one game, but it grew so big that it didn't fit on the cartridge XD)

And i don't think it's a coincidence, it's all well planned actually:

Mercury was first, because Mia was needed for our team, she can access the lighthouse beside Alex, so that's why we meet her there

Venus second, because Felix has to realize what they need Sheba for, and also

[dzibanszi]

...and also a set up for the Fusion Dragon fight at the top

Jupiter third, because of the Shaman's Rod story and the relation with Contigo.

Mars is last, because it's in Prox and it ties up the story and background of Saturos, Menardi, Agatio and Karst nicely - they knew about the lighthouses, because the one of them was in front of their eyes all the time (similar to Alex, at least for the part of his past when he is in Imil)

Plus, fire element somehow adds to the dramatic music inside.

[zipdog12]

@dzibanszi Well said.

[dzibanszi]

@zipdog12 Actually, if you think about it thoroughly, almost everything in Golden Sun series is well planned. You could even say that they "prophesized" the Mourning Moon with the floor tile changing puzzle in Sol Sanctum... XD

Or the placement of Lighthouses with the statues holding the Elemental Stars.

Or the ending of the game in Vale Sanctum ("Felix must ignite the lighthouses...")

And when they say that Felix will have a terrible fate in The Lost Age... That means something, doesn't it?

[lazygrids12]

I love this game, my friend used to play it everyday I went to his house and now I'm playing it, after I'm finished with GS, I'm gonna finish Lost Age then buy Dark Dawn :D.

so tried that thing 8:10 to get the feathered robe and it didnt work did you come on it randomly?

[zipdog12]

@xspecialedisssx Actually, it's not random. The way I did it guarantees a Feathered Robe 100% of the time. It's called an RNG Method, and they are difficult to understand at first. All I can say is to do EXACTLY what I do. Save in the same small room, completely turn off your device and restart, and you'll encounter two Wild Gryphons. Now, the next part can vary a little, but still try to do EXACTLY what I do and hopefully it will work. If not, PM me for a better explanation. Good luck!
