Anyone know how I can get the Mercury Djinn at the beginning of the snowy mountains place? I used fireball on it, it jumped into the water, and now I'm stumped. It's just swimming around, and nothing I try works. Any help would be much appreciated.

Spoiler

go into the next map walk around the house ( when you go upstairs) use move on the pillar and move it right until it falls down. now walk back into the last map (through the new entrance you just made)and you are now able to use fireball on the train

[andy122]

[aznSzeto]

[andy122]

[andy122]

[aznSzeto]

[aznSzeto]

Anyone know how to solve the puzzle in the ruin after the wooden gate? Its the room with a giant flower symbol in the middle and there are four statues. There is also a dark tablet that says some japanese stuff. Please help

 

[Porkmaster]

Hey guys, it's me again! So yeah, I gotta little thing to let you guys know that I found completely by accident. This is pretty far in the game (Around 22 hours) so check the spoilers if you want.

Spoiler

Once you get your ship, there is an island to the southeast of the big ominous cloud where you fight the shadow beasts. This island is surrounded by rocks, and it looks like there is no way for you to get to it. Well, I sat my DS down (didn't close it for the first time in my life) to go to the bathroom. I came back, and there was a tornado going around the island that took me to the middle of the island so my boat could dock there. Just sit there for awhile, and the tornado will show up. I have no clue what's in there, but I'll let you guys know once I go inside.

Edit: There is a Jupiter Djinn that I can't get to, and invisible blocks that we need to use Reveal to see and hop across, much like in the first and second Golden Sun. I thought that Psynergy that allowed me to see what Psynergy to use on other things was Reveal, but I guess not. I'll be back later with a character that knows Reveal.

Edit: Take a look in the spoiler box.

Doesnt any1 know what to do after u get the boat? this is annoying :/

 

[Porkmaster]

If you're stuck after getting your boat, read this. Only read the red parts if you don't want my useless banter

Doesnt any1 know what to do after u get the boat? this is annoying :/

I've been sailing around to various towns and caves. I've had a couple of cutscenes in some towns. There is a town to the Southeast of the island with the rocks surrounding it (The location of that island is in a previous post of mine) where a cutscene goes off, and this girl ends up fainting. I assume I have to find something to "wake her up". Also, almost directly west of that town is another Japanese style town, where another cutscene went off, but it was nothing important, I don't think. He opens up a secret passage with 3 treasure chests.

Also:

Spoiler

When you find sail around and find the town Champa, Obaba will forge stuff for you

And I also think I found either the last level, or an optional boss level. Remember that blue orb you got that you can't do anything with? Well, there's a door with 3 circular holes. When I approach it, I hold up the blue orb, and one hole lights up, then I put it back in my bag and walk back. Anyone with half a brain would assume you need 2 more orbs to get past the door. Also, the groups of enemies there give me a whopping 15,000 exp.

When I figure out what to do, I'll post more.

27 hours in, Level 38.

Edit: After you get the 3 treasure chests, head back to the boat, and another cutscene goes off. I'll continue to edit as I find out more.

Edit #2: In the meantime, head to the island JUST to the Southeast of the giant fog that appears on your world map, and head into a cave there and save 2 people who are trapped there. You'll need them later for something, apparently. I'll continue to edit as I found out more.

Edit #3: After saving the 2 people from the cave, go back to the town, just Southeast of the cave (Or continue exploring the cave and getting what you can get). Once you get back to the town, head into the house below the Item, Weapon, and Armor shop (Looks like a triangle with different color orbs). Once you get into the house, there is a box that you can use move on. Use move to move it down, and you'll trigger a cutscene and get a key. Also, I'm not putting this stuff in a spoiler box, because this part of the game is a complete bitch, and everyone should know this. Once I figure out what to do with the key, I'll edit more.

Edit #4: Once you get the key, head back out of the town, taking the left exit, and head north to the tower. If you haven't already solved the puzzles there, do so. At the end, there is a door that you can't open unless you have the key. Once you enter the door, you'll get a certain item. Take the item back to the town where girl who fainted is, and talk to the girl laying in the middle of the torches. I'll continue to edit as I found out more.

Edit #5: Do that, and you'll get a new character who knows Reveal! Gonna go to that island to the Northwest now, and see what's there. Probably nothing. I'll edit more as I find out more.

Edit #6: Before you can leave the town, first you have to head into the shrine where the stone statue is, laying on a rock. A small cutscene will go on, then you have to move the rock behind the stone statue by using move. Then use Reveal on the platform, and go through a mini (really mini) dungeon, "talk" to the orange slab in the room to the right, then you can leave the dungeon, and leave the town.

Edit #7: The island surrounded by the rocks contains a blue cube (Can be forged), and a Jupiter Djinn.

Edit #8: So I figured I'd go sail around the fog for a bit, because I wanted to gain a few levels, and I found a haunted ship... investigating.

Edit #9: Oh Shi---! A familiar optional boss lies in wait. Prepare your anus for a tough battle. You need the Reveal Psynergy to get through the ship. This is an optional dungeon and an optional boss.

Edit #10: MAN, was that boss tough. I managed to finally beat the boss, and the boss yields a MASSIVE 116,000 exp (enough to level 3 characters up twice, and another leveled up 3 times,) and gives you a Summon for your troubles.

Edit #11: 30 hours in, Level 41 (After optional boss), just so you guys can compare.

Edit #12: There is a spiral island pretty far Southwest of the island where you get your new character. Go up the spiral mountain and you'll see a cave you need to use reveal on. Use reveal and go inside. Solve the puzzles. All in all, you get a Mars Djinn, a weapon for Stella, and a wrist that increases EP (PP). After I left, there was a red X on my map, marking that I got a weapon for Stella. Maybe there's more stuff to find.

Edit #12: There is an ice region to the west of the fog. Find your way through the ice, and dock on the ice region. It's a one way path to another cave that you need to use reveal on. Use reveal and go inside. All in all, you'll get a potion that heals everyone, a sword, a Mercury Djinn, and another armor piece for Stella. After I left, there was another red X marking I found it. I guess we have to find them all.

Edit #13: Well this explains a lot. There is an icy town to the east of the ice region. Find your way through the ice maze on your ship, and enter. Head into the house, or explore outside. If you explore outside, you'll find a piece of ore that you can have forged in Champa, slide down the top of the house to get a Mercury Djinn, or slide down the chimney to get a helmet that gives some good defense and increases your EP (PP). Inside the only house there, you'll find a shelf that you can move, revealing a door. Go inside the door, and a cutscene will trigger. After the cutscene, head out of the town. After you leave, your party will talk, and then circle areas on the map where you need to go to collect the rest of Stella's armor.

Edit #14: Well, I'm off to bed now! I hope this post has helped all of you.
