Golden Sun: Walktrough - 1. Vale and Sol Sanctum

1. Vale and Sol Sanctum


Three years later...

The game start again, three years later after the terrible storm where Kyle and Felix died. When Jenna is walking on her way to Garet, she sees Isaac fixing the roof of his house with his mother. She's going walk again and talks to Garet, who is up ahead. Their conversation is about the studies of psynergy and Kraden. Both are thinking back about what happened three years ago and they both will walk back to Isaac, who is still fixing the roof. Jenna and Garet are greeting Dora. They are talking about climbing Mt. Aleph with Kraden, until Dora says "you are just as stubborn as your father" and almost fall of the roof. Garet tried to catch her, though he falls with his leg into the roof... The result is a hole. After a long conversation Isaac, Jenna and Garet finally will go.

Meeting Kraden

You are now able to walk. If you go to the neighbours you can find 5 coins in the first jar at the left. You can go south to the plaza to get some weapons and armor. Now, go to to the north again and walk to the west over a bridge near the sanctum in the north. Walk your way all to the west.
When you entered the next screen you'll notice the "Mystery Man" Saturos and "Mystery Woman" Menardi talking about the Sol Sanctum and Kraden. Saturos notices that Isaac and co. is hearing about what they are saying and runs over to them. They ask if you were eardropping. It doesn't matter what to choose, but they let you go to Kraden. Now go up to the stairs and you'll find Kraden thinking about going to the Sol Sanctum and solve it's mysteries. Go to Kraden and you will get a long conversation again if you want to go to Mt. Aleph and solve the mysteries around Sol Sanctum. Kraden thinks Saturos and Menardi wants to rob things in this sanctum. They can't confirm, so he'll ask if you want to with him. Say 'Yes' and he grabs his Mythrill Bags. Now you are able to move again. Enter his house and next to boiler you'll find some coins in a jar.

Go back to the sanctum and go to the left. You'll encounter an elder who pushes you back to the sanctum again. He asks if you are planning to climb the Sol Sanctum. It doesn't matter what you answer, because he don't want you to climb anyway. Wait until the elder is at the Right side of the sanctum. Now, walk quickly left of the sanctum and follow your way behind the tree to the stairs. Enter the area of the Entrance of the Sol Sanctum.

The Sol Sanctum

Kraden ask's you if it's your first time to enter the Sol Sanctum. Walk along until you find a room with stepstones in the water. Take the most east stone. Step North-North-West-West-South-South-West-North-North-North and go trough the door. Just walk all the way long, but be prepared for a battle with a bat, wild mushroom, slime or amaze. You'll ecounter another room with stonepilars in the water. Choose the middle way: it's one straight line. You'll find a chest and open it by pushing A. You will get a Small Jewel and then you have to go back again. At the stonepillars you have to go to the east at halfway. Continue your way to the North and follow the hall. You'll encounter a minotaurrelief where you have to put your Small Jewel in. Now "you hear the sound of a shifting stone". Go back again.
Take now the most west stonepillars and follow your way to the north. You come in a big hall with only statues. Apparently, Kraden entered this sanctum many times, and didn't come any further then this. He wonders if there's something more about this sanctum and asks you to continue searching for what the ancients build in honor of the sun. Go to to the right and move the statue.

You'll find a doorway again and go on. Now your in a small maze. Go to the right and follow your way to the north. Stop until you notice you can go to the left, to the right and straight on. Go to left and follow your way until you reach a chest. You get a Small Jewel again. Go back to the crossing. Now this time go to the north and immediatly go to the west again and follow your way. Six more statues await you. Go to the left and move the statue to either left or right. Put the Small Jewel in the Minotaurrelief. Go now to the most right statue and move it again. Go trough the door and you'll encounter a cave again. It doesn't matter what you do now: Follow your way to the north. Go to the left for getting a herb or going to the right to enter the hearth of the sanctum.

The hearth of Sol Sanctum

Kraden discovered the Sol Room, build in honor of the sun. However, Kraden, Isaac, Garet and Jenna are all sure now that Saturos and Menardi came here to rob the Sanctum. However, Kraden thinks there is more to it and ask to go on, searching for the true secret of the Sanctum. Say 'Yes' and follow your way to the east. You now encounter the Luna Room and Kraden doesn't know what this all means. He asks you to investigate, so find your way to the south again. Enter the stairs. You now can either go to the south or to the north. If you go south, you'll find a room with walls made of psynergy stones. However, you can only use the psynergy crystal on the floor. Now go out of this room and just go north all the way.

Making light

You'll enounter four statues next to a grey square. Move one statue over a grey square by either pushing it or using the psynergy Move (Move). The statue lights up a square in the middle: a piece of the sun, sol, will change into a piece of luna, the moon. Meanwhile, Kraden is still investigating the Luna Room, until all of sudden thunder and lightning is reaching the Luna Room. He shocks and goes to the room where Isaac and co. are. He asks what you did and Jenna and Garet are saying that we were just moving statues. Then Kraden gets the thing that this all is a trap. If you move ALL statues over the grey square, a terrible storm will struck up vale, just like three years ago! Kraden leaves again.
Now go to the west and you'll see five statues: three north are moveable, the two south aren't. First, move the northwest and the northeast statues over the grey spots: north-north-north-west/east. There will now appear a hole in front of the middle statue. Jump on the plateau and walk in front of the hole. Use Move and move it into the hole. You hear something clicking.
Go back to the east with the four moveable statues. Move one statue over a grey square again and you'll see Kraden again. This time, without the lightning. He goes back and sees what we've done: moving the big statue in a hole. He asks you to move the other three statues on the grey squares and leave again. After you've did it, go back to the Luna Room. You'll find a shocked Kraden. The Luna room changed into Sol! There must be more, so go back to the Sol room. Now the Sol room changed into the Luna room! Kraden doesn't understand. Go to the wall and stop until you are under the ray of light. Push on A to jump and there appears a warp into the it. Kraden is shocked again and asks you what it is. You jump automatically in it and warps away. Kraden follows.

The Elemental Room

Now you, Jenna and Garet runs to the edge of the plateau where you are standing and doesn't know where they are. Kraden enters too and is shocked to. Where is he? "Is this the ocean?" No it isn't it. Garet asks what the ocean is, and once again there's a long conversation. About what alchemy is, and what the elemental stars are. Kraden is very happy about this and cannot do something else then having fun (Happy/Joy) Kraden wants to reach a star but he slips a little bit. He goes back to you, Garet and Jenna. Jenna says "the boys can do it". Say 'Yes' and you'll receive four mythrill bags. Go fetch the starts.

Go to the north-east and walk your way: North-East-North-East-East-East-East-East-South-South-West-South-South-South-South-West. Go to the statue and fetch the Venus Star. Some pillars will rise up. Now fetch the others.
Go East-North-North-North-North-East-North-North-West-West-West-West-West-North--North-East-East and fetch the Mercury Star. Again some pillars will rise up. Go all the way back to Jenna and Kraden by walking West-West-South-South-West-South. Go all the way to the South again and jump on the pillar at the south. GO West-West-South-West-West-West. Grab the Jupiter Star. The last pillars will rise up...

Chaos

You'll encounter some huh's. There's silence and you'll encounter Saturos and Menardi who wants the elemental stars. They want to negotiate: giving the elemental stars in order to get Kraden and Jenna back. To prove that they aren't lying they give you some guarantee: take of the mask of one of their compaignons. IT'S FELIX! Everybody is shocked. Jenna is heartbroken. Enough about this teary little reunion. They demand you to give the elemental stars. Garet grabs the Mythrill bags until Alex appears with it's 'Warp' or 'Teleport'. He asks you to give you the stars. He's not happy, however. He wants you to grab the Mars star too. Because you have no other option, you have to... Walk East-East-East-North-East-East-North again. Go to the northeast and walk North-East-North-North-North-North-North-West-West-West-West-West-South-South-West-West-South-West and grab the Mars Star. The room will shake a bit and the room will flash. The water is gone and Mt. Aleph is about to erupt!!! There's a lot of panic about Wise One: the floating stone with one eye. There's a lot of exclamation's with everybody. Saturos, Mernardi and Alex realises that it's too late to get the Mars Star from Isaac and Garet. They change the plans: they will lit the first three lighthouse and then they hope to get the last Mars Star. They take Jenna and Kraden with them and leave Isaac and Garet all alone. What now?

The screen flashes and Isaac and Garet are still alive. "This turned really bad", as Garet says. As Garet wants to walk away, the Wise One appears again and Garet stops walking and now sees the Wise One. Both are scared like what. The Wise One asks what happened. It will ask you now to get the Mars Star out of it's Mythrill Bag. Say "Yes". The Wise One prevent the vulcano from erupting by closing the cracks, however he cannot hold it very long. He demands you to flee, now you still can. He helps you by teleporting you into the Sol Sanctum back. The Sanctum shakes and it is about to collaps. You can move again: now go back all the way or simply use the psynergy Retreat (Retreat). Go out of the sanctum and go back to Vale...
