I tried saving after getting your first djinn and made duplicate saves just to test if I'm just dumb and forgetting to save, so i tried that but it seems that it doesn't really save and it just flat out removes my saves 😠is there anyway for me to fix this? I'm playing with the anbernic rg35xxsp MUOS if that helps
So I know that rings can break and the RNG is somehow involved.
But how does it work exactly?
Is it just the same random chance?
Or is it that if I successfully use the ring a bunch of times, then the chance of it breaking increases?
I'm trying to get to the grinding spot in the Venus Light house. I haven't even entered Babi's palace yet. I'm tired of trying to grind xp through the pink tornado.
How much more further is that little room where you can grind monsters in the Venus Light house?
I'm just a little confused.
After beating the Wizard, Sentinel and that devil guy that uses your summons against you. I want to take on the Dullahand but I keep getting destroyed.
What are some strategies, classes, items, equipments etc that i need to use.
Edit: Just to make it clear this is a rom hack called Golden Sun The Lost Age Reloaded. The game is rebalanced and enemies are more stronger than the original.
Now that AI movies and such are popping up on YouTube, I was wondering if anyone has made any like this 1950’s Zelda movie trailer for Golden Sun. I don’t know how these things are made, but thought it would be cool to see!
Is it worth it for the quality-of-life features like savestates? Or should I hold on to the games I have?
The increases for my level ups are not very consistent.
For example I've been tracking Isaac's HP increases from level 1 to 9. All perfect leveled by 8 points. The results are as follows:
1: 41
2: 50 (9)
3: 59 (9)
4: 68 (9)
5: 77 (9)
6: 85 (8)
7: 94 (9)
8: 103 (9)
9: 112 (9)
All djinni on red, no equipment, no stat boosters used. And as you can see, the increase from level 5 to 6 was only 8 points. And this isn't just for HP. All stats have decreases or increases like that.
Now I do know that each character's basic class influences this to some degree.
I suppose I'm looking for a formula to count it. For example if I know my initial level 1 stats for each character, and then I know the exact increases for each level, then is there a formula which would allow me to confirm those increases?
There is a stone in Goma Cave (same room with the Lucky Medal) and when you push this stone, it drops down to the level below and then you can use it to jump to the next location.
However when I got back to the same room later again, the stone in the water was missing, and it was back up again in the same room with the medal.
Shouldn't this stone remain in the water?
Is it a bug in my game or do other people have the same thing?
It's a minor issue, just wanted to know if others have it as well.
Also the stone which I use to get the Mars Djinni resets its position as well...
I could have sworn that during my last playthrough Bandit's Sword had higher attack than Magic Rod when both items were compared on Ivan.
This time however Magic Rod is stronger than Bandit's Sword. Did anybody else experience something like this?
I don't think I've made a mistake because I'm always equipping the item with higher attack.
The settlements near each of the other Elemental Rocks have at least a small handful of the appropriate adepts. Air's Rock has Maha (and maybe a handful of others, based on NPC lines). Gaia Rock has the ruling family of Izumo--and there seem to maybe a couple others, unless Kushinada is a cousin or something. Kibombo has Akafubu and presumably his predecessors. But there's no indication of even a single Mercury adept in Apojii, despite being closer to Aqua Rock than Garoh is to Air's Rock.
Does anyone have any theories as to why? I've seen speculation that the currents of Gaia Falls pull any psynergy stone fragments over the side of the world, away from the town. Which seems an okay explanation but I was curious if anyone had any other ideas. The game usually hints at other adepts even if it's not plot relevant (like baby Ahri in Contigo) so it's interesting that there's nothing.
I'm doing a run completing and taking everything, and I was absolutely convinced that something was there behind that frozen Waterfall in Prox. I know there's something in Imil as well, but I believed this waterfall was hiding a chest or something too.
After trying a few psynergies, asked 2 friends about that, and they also "remember" you could actually go to the other side of that waterfall.
Is that a Mandela Effect, right? Or is there a way to get through that ice?
In order to get to crossbones isle to get a certain Djinni, you either select certain rowers on the boat or take the pink tornado in the desert. I accidentally screwed up both. Is there any other way of getting there? Maybe somehow making the pink tornado spawn again? I really messed up this time lol
For those who don't know there is a bug where you can miss out on a Nut in Kolima forest if you pick the Vale one first.
https://old.reddit.com/r/GoldenSun/comments/1g8w2n9/the_nut_in_kolima_forest_does_it_exist_or_not/
I was wondering if anybody here knows of other items/events in both GS and TLA which can be bugged/linked in a similar way?
Found a Japanese copy of Golden Sun while on vacation just now and had to pick it up.
after years of accepting my childhood copy of Lost Age was gone, i randomly found it. Even replaced it last year I was so accepting that it was gone. Lol
This may be a dumb question but why are there no ROM hacks/fangames akin to the pokemon games?
Update/Edit: found GS reloaded, so I guess I’d change my question to are there any others that you all know of?
I'm seeing some different info on the internet. There's even a video of its existence (0:51), but I'm not seeing it in my game:

What's your experience?
What makes this nut appear in some games and not the others?
I understand that there has to be a purchase made and it must exceed a certain arbitrary value.
Do we know what values are those?
I'd like to know the numbers.
I got to Kaylay Docks, did the whole cruise and defeated the monsters, but didn't know there was a certain order of people to recruit to paddle the boat in order to get the Djinni above Kaylay Docks, also my Analogue Pocket GBA save states keep failing qhen I load them.
So am I screwed out of a Djinni or what? Lol

Please note I'm not the original artist I'm just someone who liked the cover, since it gave me studio Ghibli vibes.
I'm trying to get 4 Cosmos shields and 4 Xylion Armors, but obviously I need Orihalcon enough to make it. I've tried the RNG methods in the wiki but don't work. What actually worked was spend 1 hour fighting Sky Dragons to get 1 Orihalcon.
Do you know a good RNG method? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
