Golden Sun Syndicate

Cheats & Secrets

Description: When entering Felix's name, pressing Select three times will allow you to change the names of Jenna, Sheba and Piers in succession. All party characters as well as Isaac, Garet, Ivan and Mia can also be renamed by entering a master code at the same screen: Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Right, Down, Left, Up, Select.

Description: Once you have completed the game, save a clear data file. If you begin a new game, you will have the option of playing on either Easy or Hard difficulties. Easy mode lets you replay the game with your party as it was when you completed it (minus items and djinn), while Hard mode starts a new game from scratch, but with more powerful enemies than normal.

Description: Before loading a save file, hold down the L (left shoulder), Start and Select buttons and press A to load the game. Keep them held until the game is fully loaded. Felix will appear inside the last Sanctum visited. This function is disabled during certain key events.

Description: Enter the Battle arena on any file and go to the bottom left corner of the room. Speak to the lady in the green skirt while holding either shoulder button; she will ask if you have a song request. From here you can listen to any music you've ever heard in the game, numbered 0 to 96. Songs 69 onwards are taken from the original Golden Sun, and only appear after a data transfer.

Description: Once you gain access to the Teleport psynergy, in addition to its standard function, you can use it on the world map to instantly warp to any previously visited town, excluding those without Inns. You cannot Teleport to dungeons.

Description: Golden Sun: The Lost Age features a rare series of enemies that offer huge amounts of experience upon their defeat. There are three of them, each in a unique location: Phoenixes, found in Magma Rock, Fire Birds, found in the Mars Lighthouse and Wonder Birds, found in Islet Cave. Phoenixes yield around 4000 EXP apiece, Fire Birds 6000 EXP, and Wonder Birds an amazing 8000 EXP. All these birds are weak against Mercury, so finishing them off with a Mercury djinni will add the standard finisher bonus on top of their already high bounties. A Wonder Bird defeated in this way will reward you with a massive 11,000 EXP for that one bird. However, these birds can act more then once a turn, and they have a tendency flee very often. It's a good idea to finish off these monsters as quickly as possible, before they can escape. These birds also have the power of Reagan Dance. This ability lets them revive a felled monster. So, if you enter a battle with two Wonder Birds, and defeat either one of them, the remaining bird may use Reagan Dance and bring back another Wonder Bird. This counts as a new enemy which can then be defeated for additional experience, although this strategy is risking due to the high chance of fleeing.

Description: Throughout the game, various items can be found by examining the many pots, crates, stoves etc. scattered across the world. There are literally hundreds of such objects to be found, but hidden items can be easily found by casting Reveal near a cluster of them. Any concealed items will show up as an sparkling gold light.

Description: The Scoop psynergy can be used to find a multitude of hidden treasures buried in the soil of Lemuria, among them a Rusty Sword, a Lucky Medal and some Star Dust.
