Golden Sun: The Lost Age for GBA

I'm sure that you have all heard of Golden Sun, considering it is the 5th most popular Game Boy Advance game to ever come out. The thing is though is that its sequel, the MOST important part of the story line isn't even that popular!!! The end of Golden Sun leaves you hanging :(. To Golden Sun fans who stuck with it all the way to 3, you are true gamers, but I can't believe that it didn't even make it in the top 30 sold games for this system. It is ranked 9.6 to 10 on EVERY game site I have visited.

The Golden Sun duology is my favorite Game Boy Advance games ever made. It doesn't only make you learn fighting tactics, but also challenges you with puzzles and mazes to help you finish this extensive rpg game. With your crew of 2 people until you gather with the rest of your crew of 8 by the end of the game, you have to uncovered hundreds of mysteries through many puzzle filled canyons, mountains, caves, cities, bosses, etc.. Collecting djinns on your way to help your defeat the hardest bosses and using your special summons to impact your foes with tons of damage makes this games combat so addicting. You are never finished. Moving around djinn combinations on different people give them many choices of attacks and summons possible.

Even after beating the extensive game, there are still fun side quests that are possible that always allow you to unlock new things. I don't just mean moving a few blocks in  a sequence, I mean a strategic layout of the world figuring out clues and sailing to different towns to complete different secrets. The first time I played this game my total time to beat it....was 96 hours! And trust me, you can play longer than that. There is so much to this game it is still fun for me to play now.

**need help with anything on the first 2 games, comment and I guarantee I can answer it.

Golden Sun's hidden secret


If you have beaten the first game go out and buy yourself a game boy connection cord. It allows you to battle your friends in battle mode, but that isn't all. When you combine the first game with the second (before exploring and completing the Jupiter Lighthouse puzzle) your newly met crew members from the first game come complete with all the djinns you collected in the first game, hoping you collected them all. This unlocks the greatest secret of the game. Visit Contigo and teleport from the center of the city using your psynergy move "teleport" on the marked teleport spot. You will be taken to a secret room where the ground lights up from each djinn you have, the secret door will open up when you have collected all the djinn (including the first game) and well...I won't ruin the surprise. But lets just say beating the Doom Dragon will be a lot easier harnessing the power of the sun and darkness!
