Golden Sun: The Lost Age FAQ/Walkthrough.
Written by DarthMarth
Summons FAQ
FAQ: What are Summons?
A. Summons, as stated above, are the most powerful and visually impressive attacks in the world of Golden Sun. Not only do they do large amounts of damage to all enemies, the Combo Summons have special effects that may occur after the Summon is completed.
FAQ: How is Summon damage calculated?
A. First, you have the Summon base damage. Then, 3% of the target's maximum HP times the number of Djinn used in the Summon is divided by 100 to get the damage of the Summon.
FAQ: My Summons seem to do more damage to tough Boss enemies than normal ones! What is happening?
A. A small percentage of the target's HP is added to the Summon damage. So, a Summon attack would do more damage to Poseidon than a Bat.
FAQ: My character's Elemental power rose after a Summon! Is this normal?
A. Yes.
FAQ: I can't use a Combo Summon, even though I have the right Djinn on standby! What's going on?
A. To use Combo Summons, you first need to find the corresponding Combo Tablets. A short description of how to find each Tablet is found in the Summon description.
The Single-Element Summons
---VENUS: THE ELEMENTAL POWER OF EARTH----
Djinn Required on Standby: 1 Venus
Raises Elemental Power By: 10
Appearance: A ghostly Venus Djinn appears above the fight. It flies around the
enemy party, causing yellow geysers to shoot from the ground under the enemies.
Description: Venus is the basic Earth element Summon. Not too visually
impressive (but still cool), it seldom does much more than 50 or 60 damage.
Like all Summons (except one), it hits all enemies and is useful in very early
Boss fights.
---RAMSES: GUARDIAN OF AN IMMPORTAL PHARAAOH---
Djinn Required on Standby: 2 Venus
Raises Elemental Power By: 30
Appearance: The scene switches to a desert and a strange pyramid like creature
appears in front of the enemy party. It swings its fist and slams the ground,
causing rocks to fall onto all enemies.
Description: Ramses is the second earth Summon. It is roughly twice as powerful
as Venus is.
---CYBELE: THE GREAT MOTHER OF THE EARTH----
Djinn Required on Standby: 3 Venus
Raises Elemental Power By: 60
Appearance: A large frog like creature with trees for eyebrows drops in front
of the enemy. It spits out several seeds that sprout into huge vines, lifting
the enemy high into the air, then disappearing, dropping it back down.
Description: Once again, Cybele doubles the power of its predecessor. Nothing
much special.
---JUDGEMENT: THE MIGHT OF THE APOCALYPSEE---
Djinn Required on Standby: 4 Venus
Raises Elemental Power By: 90
Appearance: The scene changes to a blue sky. A heavily armored angel with a
horned helm, a sword in one hand, and a lion's-head cannon in the other swoops
down. It charges its cannon with crackling blue energy, then fires straight
down. The energy is seen exploding on the ground, then creating a massive blue
shockwave. Several more scenes of the shockwave rampaging across the
countryside before it hits all enemies with extreme force.
Description: Wow. Twice as powerful as Cybele and a whole lot cooler looking,
Judgement is the ultimate Earth Summon.
---MARS: THE ELEMENTAL POWER OF FIRE---
Djinn Required on Standby: 1 Mars
Raises Elemental Power By: 10
Appearance: A ghostly Mars Djinn appears and flies straight at the enemy party.
On impact, it creates a fiery explosion, with sparks flying upwards.
Description: Mars is the basic fire Summon. Same power as Venus, different
element.
---KIRIN: A MYSTICAL BEAST CLOAKED IN FLAAME---
Djinn Required on Standby: 2 Mars
Raises Elemental Power By: 30
Appearance: A portal opens in a forest and an orange horned beast with a rider
shoots out, bouncing along at a very fast speed. It zooms past the enemies,
dragging a huge wall of flame behind it.
Description: Kirin is the basic level 2 Fire Summon.
---TIAMAT: THE QUEEN OF ALL DRAGONS---
Djinn Required on Standby: 3 Mars
Raises Elemental Power By: 60
Appearance: Balls of fire rain from the sky. A huge dragon drops down from
above and incinerates the target with yellow-hot fire breath.
Description: Once again, Tiamat is the fire version of Cybele.
