Coming from the Suhalla Desert it's only a short walk until you reach the guard gate Iodem mentioned. Just follow the given path here for that.
Now go up the stairs here first until you come to the entrance gate. To Iodem's horror two wounded soldiers are lying here... They say that persons have passed through the gate who had Sheba with them. During their attempt to free Sheba from her kidnappers they failed miserably against the wariors' supposedly incredible powers. Iodem concludes from that information that it must've been the group around Felix which Isaac also pursues. Although he wants to help the soldiers here they plea him to take up the pursuit. You'll then come together again.
Shortly after the gates, slightly north, you can find a sanctum. It'll help you a lot in case the strong local monsters are giving you a hard time here. I wonder whether he ven knows about the injured people outside?! But whatever. from the sanctum on go eastwards and enter the next area.
After a few steps you'll come to a notch in the ground, slide it down. You'll fall down right in front of a chest, take a Mint out of it. Slide down again and climb up the vine back onto the cliff. To progress go further east now.
In the next area of the Suhalla Gate you'll be able to make out quite a lot spots near the cliff edge at which you can slide down. Choose the third one from the left so that you'll slide down straight to a Mercury Djinni! After a fight "Dew" will want to help you with his good services! In the ideal case it should've also even been the last of the seven Mercury Djinn in Golden Sun for you. Slide down once more, run east to the vine and climb it up. Now face into eastern direction and a cave should be in your sight. It won't hurt to risk a look, will it?
The first room in this cave isn't all too interesting, walk through it and go downstairs. The following area's already worthier a look, with all the beautiful violet crystals there in the cave. You'll also come to a psynergy stone here, which will sure come in handy for you right now. Just a short distance further and you'll be already outside of the cave!
You'll now be standing on a peninsula that you'll get to know later as Idejima. Here lies a ship, Iodem's fairly sure that what they're seeing here must be Babi's vessel. Because of that he'll hand over the Black Orb to you, a means with whih adepts are able to steer the Lemurian ship. Examine the ship and use the Ball near it.
Sadly the ship will – not show any changes at all despite the Black Orb. Still Iodem remains convinced that it must be Babi's ship. His best explanation for himself is that the time just hasn't come yet and suggests going back to the Suhalla Gate. After all they can pay more attention to that ship later on.
Head back until you're in front of the cave entrance again. The vines here will lead you up back to the cliff. eastwards the path already continues! But it won't be long until you'll witness a sad sight in the next section: a soldier's about to die here, but he's still able to mutter his last words, that the guards at Venus Lighthouse have been attacked by a mysterious group... Go down the nearby stairs and leave the Suhalla Gate.
Apparenlty Saturos and Menardi have left behind nothing but destruction! What they've done and were probably looking for for in Venus Lighthouse will be the subject of the next chapter.
