Revisit towns:- Once you get the Teleport Psyenergy,
you can use it on the world map to go to any town
previously visited.
Sol Blade:- The Sol Blade can be found at the Mars
Lighthouse. It unleashes often and is the most powerful
weapon in the game. Only Isaac or Felix can use this
sword.
Darkside Sword:- The Darkside Sword can be obtained by
taking a Dark Matter to the blacksmith. It is rare to
get from him, and is cursed.
All Djinn:- The only way to get all 28 Djinn from the
original Golden Sun is to use a password or to transfer
your file from that game to Golden Sun 2. All 72 Djinn
from Golden Sun and Golden Sun 2 are used to open a
sanctuary in the town near the Jupiter Lighthouse, where
you can find a Boss called Dullahan who guards the
ultimate summon in the game.
Alternate music -
You only just need one party member to change the music.
If Felix is in the party, no matter who else is with him
it will stay with his battle music. You just need Jenna
in the party to hear her battle music and only Isaac to
hear his version. The game chooses which music comes
first if you have all three music-changing characters in
the battling party. Felix's is first, Isaac's is second
and Jenna's theme is last. For example, if you want to
hear Isaac's or Jenna's theme, make sure they are the
only music changer in the battling party.
Auto-scrolling dialogue - Holding A + B
while talking to people will auto-scroll the dialogue.
For example, do this at the start of the game while
talking to Alex.
Blacksmith - You do not have to wait a long
time for the blacksmith in Yallam to forge an item. Give
him something for him to forge. Then, leave his house
and the whole village. Re-enter the village immediately
and go back to his house. He will have already made the
item.
Character experience growth - This following
is a list of characters that gain levels faster with
less experience (in order): Felix, Piers, Jenna, and
Sheba.

+ R + Left and press B. A new option will appear. Select
it to get "Password" or "Link". This lets you send
cleared Golden Sun data to the next instalment. Make
sure you have completed Golden Sun and have a "clear
data" on your save.
Defeating Doom Dragon - Go in with the party
all with levels at 45 or higher. Give whoever has the
most attack points the Sol Blade. Give the Fire Brand
and the Trident to the second strongest person in the
party. When you go into battle, start raising the attack
points with Ivan or Sheba to the two characters that
have the Sol Blade and Fire Brand. Each head has about
6,000 HP. It will be a long battle, which will give it a
grand total of 1,800. Keep healing your party members
with Cool Aura/Pure Wish/Wish Well. When Doom Dragon
casts Curse and actually gets your party member,
fighting with that person until the very first flame is
small. Switch with that person and continue fighting.
You may want to boost your Elemental Defense or the Doom
Dragon will summon some extremely strong Psynergies,
such as Cruel Ruin, which can easily do 400 damage with
Elemental Defense or not. It also knows Djinn Blast,
which can drain all of your Djinn in your current four
characters that are out. However, it will not always do
just all of them. One out of two times, it gets all of
your Djinn. It is recommended that you not summon
anything; if you summon Charon or something similar, it
will give Doom dragon the chance to end that party
member. Doom Dragon will use Cruel Ruin after it loses
one head, eight turns out of nine turns.
Defeating Dullahan - Dullahan has over
10,000 HP and unlimited PP. The only way to defeat him
is by summoning. He recovers 200 HP each turn and can
absorb your HP. Bring out three Eclipses and three
Catastrophes and that should finish him. If he still is
not dead, power up the party member who has the Sol
Blade with a few Impacts, then deliver the final blow.
Be extremely careful of the Djinn Blast.
Defeating Star Magician - Use the following
trick to defeat Star Magician in Treasure Isle in about
thirty to forty five minutes. Make sure you have Isaac,
Jenna, Felix and Sheba/Ivan in your party. When the
fight begins, have Isaac attack the balls only. Take out
the refresher balls first to prevent them from healing
Star Magician; then the guard balls; followed by the
anger balls; and finally the thunder balls. Do not let
the Star Magician to gain more than three thunder balls.
Do not have Jenna attack at all. Instead, have her heal
the entire party on each turn. Felix should attack (no
Psynergy) the Star Magician. Sheba/Ivan should only use
Psynergies to raise the party's Impact and Resistance.
Concentrate mainly on the balls and not on the Star
Magician. If you get to the point where there are four
to five balls on the screen, then only attack them.
After about a half hour, you should be able to take the
Star Magician out easily due to the fact that the
refresher balls were taken out first. After defeating
the Star Magician you should gain 20,000 experience
points.

bar-like forge-able item). The Excalibur does 180

average attack, while the other is the same attack three
times. The latter of the unleashes is just as powerful,
if not more powerful, than the Sol Blade.

Gaia Axe. It has an attack of 163 and unleashes Mother
Earth, which sometimes puts an enemy to sleep.

which does a good amount of damage and may cause a death
countdown on an enemy. This weapon is best used by Sheba

Masamune - If you transfer your data from
the Golden Sun, you probably will have the Force Orb to
use The psynergy move, Force. You can use Force to knock

secret underground entrance. Go into the cave and follow
it all the way through. When you are outside, you will

unleashes Rising Dragon, that can do up to double the
damage if two Dragon Spirits hit an enemy.
Mysterious crack - Go to Mars Lighthouse. Go
to the area where you fight Agatio and Karst in their

you have to fell a cruel demon in the Sea Of Time Islet
cave after the trading process with a Mars Djinn. It is
a rare drop. You will get it in the hall with the
shaking statue. Its unleash is called Vengeance, which
is an archer that shoots arrows. The more arrows that
