Dark Dawn Gameplay/plot discussion (SPOILERS!)

Caps lock is activated.

Just wondering how far people are at in the game. I'm just shortly after getting the boat.

[Salanewt]

I am near the end of Apollo Sanctum. Lol, Matthew said something for a change. It also explains the meaning behind their Japanese names, "Spade" and "Heart," was it?

I definitely need to see if I can get my Action Replay though, I want to see if there are any beta psynergies in here.

Have a nice day.

[Griever]

I just met Sveta ... well her shadow anyway XD .... And i like the insight psynergy .. it would make exams really easy XD

[MaxiPower]

i had already made a topic but meh

today i found out two new facts

Mis's cousin is

Spoiler for Hidden:

Alex

Amitris Father is

Spoiler for Hidden:

Alex

[Salanewt]

Ooh, cool. I am not quite that far, but I am at the Chalis/Blados/Chaos Hound fight. I also have every Mars djinni, but I left several of the others behind. I found out their weaknesses.

Spoiler for Chalis:

Weak: Mercury
Resistant: Mars

Spoiler for Blados:

Weak: Mars
Resistant: Mercury

Spoiler for Chaos Hound:

Weak: Venus
Resistant: Jupiter

I must say, I do like the idea of Dark Adepts though. I wonder if there are any Light Adepts?

Have a nice day.

[Griever]

Wait light and dark adepts? this is coooool >< ... i want a light adept in party 

[Lishy]

What do I do with dream leaves besides revisiting that swamp dungeon, and Haures?

Also, the boss theme is amazing! Definitely one of my favorite RPG boss themes ever.

[Salanewt]

Yeah, but you should hear the final(?) boss theme. I am currently fighting it again.

Oh yeah, have you met Star Magician yet? His ship has a Clothos' Distaff, and he gives you Azul if you can kill him. Of course, you also have to be strong enough for the shadow part of Weyard.

Also, does this mean that I don't get to go to Bilibin? It is fine with me if it ensures another game, but...

Have a nice day.

[Griever]

Already at final boss? ... I just got Sveta in my party ... she is really good fighter .. but did anyone notice that Karis does more damage with magic based psynergy? even though they have the same elemental power ... I used Tornado with both of them .. Karis did around 120 while Sveta did 90 only >< i think they did something to increase casters magic power XD Oh yah i tried that on the same monster so resistance is the same

[Salanewt]

I noticed that Sveta seems to be a bit closer to Matthew, whereas Himi is closer to Rief, Karis closer to Amiti, and then that leaves Garet and Eoleo to be somewhat similar, though both different.

Also, I am now being seen off in Belinsk. So yes, I am past the final boss now. I tend to devour games when I get them, taking me only one or two days to beat them. This took me slightly longer than most games tend to, but it was still in the 2-3 day range. Such a wonderful game it is.

Now for my complete playthrough, where I go back to get all of the djinn, summons, and items that I missed in this playthrough.

Have a nice day.

[Griever]

Hehe what characters you have in your main team?
Also i think i have all the djinn that i can get, and Sveta left 

[Charon]

I just got got Amiti and back to China Kaochi. Gawd I'm so behind everyone else... and I think I forgot quite a few djinn. I know I missed Megaera...

[Salanewt]

I left at least two Mercury djinn back near Kolima/Belinsk region, one of which is the one in the port (where you first meet Briggs). I thought to myself "Oh, I will just come back here later." Too late to get him back, although I am going to start another file, which I can use to get absolutely everything.

As for a main team, I do not have one. I keep flipping them around whenever one character ends up getting a few levels higher than someone in the back team. I can name my lowest though, Tyrell at level 41. Even then, it will take nothing for him to level up if I send him to the top of Apollo Sanctum again. Those new soldiers give a whopping sum of experience (41k+ for each battle it seems). Tua Soldiers? If you train on them for a while, it would be quite easy to make it to level 50+ in a short period of time (I am guessing about 40-60 minutes, assuming that you are strong enough to kill them all). There is a Wise One statue near the entrance to Apollo Sanctum, so it would not be hard to go back and heal when you need to.

Spoiler for the Final Boss:

Weakness: Jupiter
Resistance: Venus

Huh. Megaera is not too far behind actually, just to the west of the first town after Rief. As for me, I missed so many djinn and summons. I am going to start another playthrough in a few minutes, where I make sure that I get everything. I managed to find all of the Mars djinn though, the last one comes before actually reaching Apollo Sanctum.

Oh yeah, when the Eclipse Tower first rises, GO TO THE TOP! I swear, the Eclipse summon is really useful. I think that was the third(?) optional summon that I found.

Have a nice day.

y the way, does anybody know how to reach the real ending? All I managed to see was Matthew, Tyrell, and Karis returning to the cabin to find the biggest Psynergy Vortex ever. "The End?"

[MaxiPower]

Summon locations

Spoiler for Hidden:

Zagan - west of Konpa Ruins, easy enough, use whirlwind

Magera, left of first dunegon upon getting rief

Flora - In Passaj Mountain Climb, you will need frost thingy, to get it, just go to the city via the quick lift thing then walk the mountain path back down.

Moloch - After you cross the sky thingy, in the snowy mountains before you enter the town and get Sveta, follow the path west and theres a cave

Ulysess - north of boarder town theres a cave with a train track puzzle, use fireball on the bomb to reveal the thingymajob

Haures - First get a dream leaf at Kolima then head to boarder town and stay at the inn, at night in dream land, go to the otehr side of town and you will see a cave With the summon

Eclipse - When escaping the luna tower, go to the top floor and read the glyph

Crystal Dragon - In the Opera house, when leaving Belinisk for the last time, even tho it tells you to go there, you can leave the town and miss it forever

Azul -  Kill Star Magician who is on deadbeards ship in the foggy area of the map, sail till you find.

Others im not sure as of now!

as of now, i have only missed one djinn and if i with the ship can return there i can get it.... its Brick in the town with the ice queen

[Charon]

Um... is there a way to get back to that cave?... because I'm a die hard completist and if I forgot Megaera I'd hate myself for quite a while.

Salanewt: Oh, yeah there isn't an animation overhaul for GS1 sadly.

[ryancaesar12345]

July 03, 2019, 04:54:58 PM

ryancaesar12345: GS2 Animation Overhaul w/ Baseline  ips patch in golden sun 1?

[Salanewt]

July 03, 2019, 12:03:06 AM

Salanewt: There actually is a Jupiter revive... if you're using the Animation Overhaul patch. I think Caledor made a standalone patch for GS1 too, but you'd have to ask him.

[Fox]

Fox: So like... (just a thought)...  If we designed a script to compare times for speedrunning something... goalChance represents stability (I think?) ; If it is 100%, answer results in infinite, which means you can't have 100% stability. (Meaning you'd basically be skipping all item drops/etc.) 

[Fox]

July 02, 2019, 07:06:08 AM

Fox: (I still want to make sure the equation is correct, though... as it did include some guessing.)

[Fox]

July 02, 2019, 07:04:47 AM

Fox: Was thinking .... tosses = ln(1-goalChance) / ln(1-chance) = "chance" being a single-toss percentage probability (0.00 - 1.00) , goal chance being if you did more tosses...   So that's an interesting logarithm.  Just came up with it after some research/thinking... and could maybe be useful for general use.

ryancaesar12345: jupiter revive animation any?

[Fox]

June 24, 2019, 08:05:17 AM

Fox: Such a patch would mean you need to be careful with item drops, coins, exp, etc. Because those things would then no longer be an infinite supply.  Whether or not one uses it depends on what they want to do with it.

[Fox]

June 24, 2019, 07:55:01 AM

Fox: (High enough being based on the area you are in.)

[Fox]

June 24, 2019, 07:54:02 AM

Fox: I had a thought today. What if I look into making a simple patch just for lulz.  One that works the same way as using Avoid, but it lasts from start to finish, and can't be disabled.  Avoid only works if your levels are high enough, though... so thought is to keep that as is.

ryancaesar12345: i have no account in discord.*

[Salanewt]

June 23, 2019, 08:44:52 PM

Salanewt: Although in the case of Wish, you could probably just use Breeze instead.

[Salanewt]

June 23, 2019, 08:44:36 PM

Salanewt: Yeah, it's a messaging program sort of like Skype. I find that it's much easy to walk people through some of the basics of assembly, since that's what you'll need for most animation hacks.

[ryancaesar12345]

June 23, 2019, 09:39:10 AM

ryancaesar12345: discord? im not good in asm or assembly.

MaxiPower: gpnna update my thread on progress of my character art if anyones interested. :P

[Salanewt]

June 21, 2019, 07:51:44 PM

Salanewt: Hey there! Animation editing can be tricky, but I can share some notes with you if you pop in on our Discord. Are you good with assembly?

[ryancaesar12345]

June 21, 2019, 02:59:40 PM

ryancaesar12345: and how to change a death curse turn in hex editor?
