Walkthrough (Golden Sun)

Chapter 28: The Venus Lighthouse

Finally, after all the troubles, all the long travel you'll finally enterer the true entrance of Venus Lighthouse! Use the entry area now or at a later point for some training, a Psynergy Stone will help you in emergencies. You can come back to the ground floor of the lighthouse through the left stairs by the way. But for now the northern path shall have our attention! Also, have you already noticed the fabulous music?

Just head west in the following room and go through the doorway. Here you'll have to carry a blocking stone cube into a pit before you can continue. In the next room you'll see one of the many "sandfalls" here, let it carry you down and run simultaneously eastwards, so that your reach the other side and don't fall down into the pit. Thereafter take the southern path and go further.

Here a chest will stand before you, take a look into it and a Thunder Crown will sparkle within your hands! But whoever wants to use it pays a high price. Due to the curse that lies upon it the crown can uncontrollably stun its wielder. So better don't equip it yet, you'll be able to find a means to negotiate the curse later. Head back and go up the northern stairs. You're now in a room with three sandfalls, but through the third one of them you can pass through! The next area will only be walking through, the one pit can be jumped over without any problems.

In the next room you'll run across a puzzle mechanism where you have to have to mend some seperated energy paths again. As there's only one puzzle piece at all here this riddle must be rather meant as a warming-up or so... Push the part into the gap, then the door will be opened through the floating energy. In the following section all you'll have to do is to step onto a switch, it will cause the blocking of the one sandfall to be moved in front of the other one. That way a new path will be made passable for you here! Run further west to the stairs.

Having reached the bottom you'll now be back in the area right after the entrance. Because of the altered sandflow you'll now be able to get to the northeastern doorway here. Go down the ladder to which you'll eventually come and move the left pillar, thereupon a hidden passage will be revealed. Here you can reach another pillar, move it to a position that allows you to come to a stairs that'll lead you further to the top.

You've already been in the following passage before, you've just seen it from above... Run through and take the stairs at the end. Another smaller room later and you're at the next energy puzzle already. In contrast to the one from earlier it's a little more challenging, but surely still not a problem for you! Move the individual pieces like shown below (or mirrored), then the door and therefore the further path will be opened for you.

Where you're now standing is what I like to call the nexus, the central area of the lighthouse. Here you'll have to activate all three of the sandfalls to come atop the lighthouse. Jump over the small tiles to the northwest of the room and take the doorway at the end (not the stairs!).

Two sandfalls there are in the next room, both of them will lead you further! First take the right one of them. In the small chamber that follows you can right away find a chest with the Dragon Scales, which aren't for nothing the most valuable armour in the whole game! Now take the left one of the two sandfalls, also the stairs now lying in front of you.

A riddle similar to the one you'll find here you've already solved once in the Tunnel Ruins. Lift two of the three stone blocks here with Carry onto the western weighing scale, then their weight will already be sufficient to let you reach the other side. The following arie has another switch in the ground – step on it and already the second sandfall will unleashed manifest itself!

Now leave the room to the north, already you'll be right back in that central area! Due to the new sandfall you can now reach the next section of the lighthouse, which lies in the southwest.

Run through the first section here. The following on the other hand will be much more impressive! As this one solely consists of different paths of floating sand. You'll have to choose the correct way and also be quick to come to the next doorway! But a forking of the path will also lead you towards a chest in the room. Inside it you'll find the Gaia Blade. This terribly strong sword is without doubt Golden Sun's strongest weapon in general, furthermore it appears to be especially made for Isaac! With it in your hands head straight to the next area.

Run through, run through. Apparently you're doing that quite often here! Next you'll face the third and also last puzzle of the lighthouse. At least for the moment I'm sure it'll make your brain cells boil! But also this one should be solved soon, see the two pictures below for it. The door will open through the floating enery, pass through it!

Before your there now lies the third and as well last switch you have to activate. This one will provide you the third sandfall in the central area, so that now you can now enter the final section of the lighthouse. Northwards the way goes back to the center. On a side note you'll already see before the stairs the platform which will soon carry you to the top of the lighthouse. Run through the following short path, then you'll come out of the middle sandfall in the central area again.

The northeastern way will at the same time be your last one here. When going upstairs you'll come back to a familiar room where you can stand on the third switch before you'll eventually have to go up once again.

You'll now stand in the final, the highest room of Venus Lighthouse! If you haven't done so before, than now at the latest you should prepare everything for the final fight at the top here. Set all of your djinn, sort your items, train until you reach favourably high levels... When everything's done take the Psy Crystal and save your game!

Take a deep breath and jump down the dedicated spot here. Straight to the point you'll now land on the already aforementioned platform that will carry you to the aerie of the lighthouse...

At the very top a nice meeting of certain persons will await you, but probably not too nice either, it all depends on view! What things might all happen there you're going to find out in the closing chapter of this walkthrough.
