Introduction pt. 1 (Lookout Cabin through Goma Plateau)
← Prev | Next →
[Also on GameFAQs!]
[Isaac and Matthew walk up to the Lookout Cabin.]
Isaac: What a relief to have that journey behind us. Let's just drop our packs here, Son.
[Matthew drops his pack.]
Isaac: You're getting stronger, Matthew. That will serve you well, since life here at our cabin isn't easy.
[A bubble insists we tap on Matthew's name.]
Text: As you explore, you'll discover many new people and places. Tap names to get more details! You can also use {L] and [R} to view these special insights! When you look at an entry, it will be added to your personal encyclopedia!
Isaac: You're getting stronger, Matthew. That will serve you well, since life here at our cabin isn't easy. But that's enough work for now. Let's call it a day.
[Matthew nods and walks over toward the edge of the cliff. Isaac follows him.]
Isaac: The view of Mount Aleph today is spectacular. What a shame things can't always stay like this. The explosive Golden Sun event all those years ago brought the life-giving power of Alchemy back to the world. We were the ones who saved our world from destruction by doing so. But the Golden Sun also brought chaos. Though our world has been reborn, people are desperate, and they're driven to fight like animals. And while civilization is ruled by chaos, the land is rocked by eruptions that explode outward from Mount Aleph. All of our continent of Angara, even all of Weyard itself, has changed so violently. I fear I know why... All this chaos comes from the re-emergence of Alchemy. The key to understanding Alchemy is at Mount Aleph, within that place where it all began: Sol Sanctum. I appeal to you, Wise One, who watches over all Weyard! Have mercy on us, or give us some sign of what we must do next to save our world from chaos!
Garet: [off-screen] Oh, there you go again, Isaac! Wise One THIS... Wise One THAT...
[Garet walks up to join them.]
Garet: Look—wringing our hands and invoking the name of that godlike hunk of rock isn't going to help matters any. We did what we HAD to do to save Weyard. We released Alchemy. Now its sheer force is out of control.
Isaac: I know, Garet... That's why we must learn more about the Psynergy Vortexes. These vortexes have come in the wake of the Golden Sun event, and they are tied to the deadly Mourning Moon.
Garet: Fortunately, our old friend Ivan has made that a whole lot easier by building us the soarwing. Now we can quickly fly in search of Psynergy Vortexes as they pop up around the Vale area. Most importantly, we can fly over the impassable terrain around Mount Aleph to reach Sol Sanctum!
[They all look out and we see what's left of Mount Aleph.]
Garet: I wonder if the Wise One is even in Sol Sanctum anymore, given all the eruptions nearby. Then again, he's not flesh and blood like us, so maybe all this doesn't even bother him. That's all the more reason we should take soarwing lessons from Karis. She's every bit as disciplined as her father, so we couldn't be in better hands...
Karis: [off-screen] Get OFF the roof, Tyrell!
[The three of them look up to see that Karis and Tyrell are indeed on the roof. Tyrell has the soarwing on.]
Tyrell: I'll be down before anyone knows it Karis!
Karis: Don't be stupid, Tyrell! It's slippery up here after last night's storm! Oh, you can fall, for all I care! But don't break the soarwing!
Tyrell: [off-screen] Don't be so uptight, Karis! I've got it under control!
Garet: That fool son of mine has taken out Ivan's soarwing!

Garet: That fool son of mine has taken out Ivan's soarwing!
Matthew:
Garet: Don't tell me to go easy! I think I know how to handle my own son.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: What, sticking up for Tyrell? When he's doing that?!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: It breaks my heart too! He's 16, but Tyrell still acts like a brat!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Don't snap at me! You're supposed to help keep my son in line, Matthew!
(*Continuing*)
Isaac: We've got to get that soarwing from Tyrell before he breaks it.
[Isaac and Garet run off.]
-Onward!-
| Lookout Cabin |
[If you don't immediately climb the ladder, these pop up in order. They also appear if you try to go in the door or leave the area.]
Garet: What do you think you're DOING, Tyrell?!
Tyrell: You and your big mouth, Karis! They heard us!
Isaac: Just come down, Tyrell! Please! We won't be mad!
Karis: Isaac! Garet! You have to stop him!
Garet: That idiotic son of mine! He just can't stay out of trouble!
Isaac: It's going to be fine, Tyrell! Take off the soarwing, then step back from the edge!
Karis: Use your brain for once, Tyrell! Don't mess with things you can’t understand!
Garet: Not another step, Son!
Isaac: We can't have you breaking that equipment! It's too valuable!
Karis: Why do you never listen to me? I told you not to come up here!
Garet: I never got into this kind of trouble when I was a kid!
[Matthew climbs the ladder to the roof. Karis walks back to join them.]
Isaac: Just in time, Matthew!
Garet: You're a sensible kid. See if you can stop that blockhead!
[Karis grabs Matthew and pushes him past her.]
Karis: Get over there, Matthew! Talk Tyrell down!
Matthew:
Karis: You can't be happy-go-lucky at a time like this! Go get him down, Matthew!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: Oh, that's just like you, egging him on! You should be a better friend!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: Not happy about it? Well, you weren't the one who had to look after him all day!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: You're angry? I'm the one who should be angry. He's been trouble all day!
(*Continuing*)
-Onward!-
[If you talk to the others, they randomly say one of these lines:]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: Tyrell should know better! Piloting a soarwing without proper training is impossible!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: He thinks he can fly the soarwing without so much as a single lesson from Karis!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: We've got to stop him! He could fall into the valley and hurt himself!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: He won't listen to us dads! If he flies off the cliff, he'll be a goner!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: I don't know how he got to be such a hothead! Can't you talk him down, Matthew?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: That kid never listens to me! When I was young, I was nothing like that!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karis: I haven't given him any lessons, but still he thinks he can run off the roof with the soarwing?!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karis: I make using the soarwing look easy, so no wonder Tyrell got it in his head to use it!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Matthew walks forward.]
Tyrell: Don't come any closer, Matthew! I told Karis that I only wanted to take the soarwing out for a quick spin, but she wouldn't let me!
Isaac: She was concerned for your safety, Tyrell! Flying it without proper instruction is too dangerous!
Karis: Even a Wind Adept needs special training to fly a soarwing. You can't possibly pilot it yet!
Tyrell: Come on—how hard can it be? I mean, you just jump into the wind and act like a bird!
Garet: What?! That's birdbrained, Son! You're going to drop like a rock into the valley below!
Tyrell: You're wrong! You just don't have any faith in me, Dad! And I'm fed up with people not taking me seriously!
Isaac: He's going to do it! There must be something we can do to stop him!
Garet: He's beyond reason! Our only chance is to render the soarwing useless before he takes off!
Tyrell: I'm not scared... Not scared at all...
[Tyrell takes off and starts circling away from the cliff as Karis starts speaking.]
Karis: If you take off, you won't be able to return here to the plateau! You'll drop toward the forest below!
Tyrell: This is great! But... wait! I really AM dropping lower!
Karis: Oh, now he gets it!
[Matthew and the others run forward to the edge of the roof.]
Karis: You don't have the Psynergy to maintain altitude, Tyrell!
Tyrell: But Dad and Isaac have the power to fly it!
Karis: They're extremely skilled Adepts, that's why!
Tyrell: But you're not, Karis! You're an apprentice Adept just like me!
Karis: But I'm a Wind Adept! I'm already used to controlling the wind!
Tyrell: Gah! It's true! I'm dropping lower! Spiraling faster! Help!
Garet: What a disaster! Tyrell won't last long down in the forest. It's too dangerous.
Matthew:
Isaac: You're right. It won't help if we panic. We need to think.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Always on top of things, aren't you? Right, only the forest is dangerous. Hmm...
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: That isn't helping, Son. Don't give up. We'll save him.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Easy now. We'll save him. We'd never just stand by and watch him get hurt.
(*Continuing*)
Isaac: I've got it. He can fly over the forest valley, then land at the cave... That's his only shot at surviving. I'd better tell him—quickly!
[Isaac walks forward ahead of the others.]
Isaac: Listen, Tyrell!
Tyrell: Help me!
Isaac: You're already too low to make it back up here!
Tyrell: Gah! You're right! What can I do?!
Isaac: Fly to the far side of the forest! There's a small peak there!
Tyrell: I'm falling too fast! I can't get there, Isaac!
Garet: I hope you're right about this, Isaac... [to Tyrell] This is NO time to doubt yourself! You said you could fly, so FLY! Fly to the cave! Then take cover! We'll get to you as soon as we can!
Matthew:
Tyrell: You think I can do it, Matthew? Then I'll give it my best shot!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Tyrell: What, tough it out? OK, can do, Matthew! See you there!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Tyrell: What?! I'm a goner if I give up? That's not very encouraging, Matthew!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Tyrell: You don't need to get mad, Matthew! That's not helping!
(*Continuing*)
Karis: Just go already! Don't waste another second, Tyrell!
Tyrell: You'll... You'll all come and find me, promise?
Garet: You're my son! I won't leave you to the wolves! Now get going!
Tyrell: Fine—I'll head out! But you'd better come get me, or else...
Karis: He's doing it! He's... gone!
Garet: I hope Tyrell can really make it to the other side of the forest...
Matthew:
Isaac: Hear that, Garet? Matthew believes in him. You should too.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: You're that confident? Well, positive thinking is just what we need, isn't it!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: You're right to worry, but we need to act fast.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Hear that, Garet? My son has spoken! We’d better not fail yours.
(*Continuing*)
Karis: You have to let Matthew and me go with you. I'm worried about my father's soarwing. It's so incredibly difficult to make them!
Garet: We know how valuable the soarwing is, but...
Karis: And I feel responsible for Tyrell too. If I'd only kept better watch over the soarwing...
Garet: Nonsense—my son is always acting like a fool. You're not to blame.
Isaac: Garet, we should take them along.
Garet: You can't be serious! They're just kids!
Isaac: I'm dead serious. They're willing to brave the forest below to help Tyrell. They have every reason to just let us take care of this. But they want to help. This is what we've been training our children for—assuming their duty to look after the world.
Garet: Well, no offense to the kids, but they're going to slow us down. Tyrell is all alone down there!
Isaac: Tyrell is more resourceful than you give him credit for. He can fend for himself until we reach him.
Garet: Hmm. If you say so, Isaac.
Karis: I’m going to give Tyrell such an earful for taking the soarwing!
Isaac: My, what fire you've got in you for a Wind Adept, Karis. Good—you'll need it out there. Now you both should get a move on if you want to come along.
Garet: Head inside the cabin. Gear up, then meet us at the bridge to the east.
Isaac: Gear up quickly. We need to be on our way.
[Cut to inside the cabin, Karis descends the ladder to the room Matthew's in.]
Karis: Are you ready yet, Matthew?
[She approaches.]
Karis: Isaac asked me to give something to you.
Text: Matthew got a leather cap.
Karis: Let me help you put that on. Watch how I look at your items, then how I equip one.
Text: To equip yourself with weapons and armor, touch the {X} icon on the bottom right to open the menu.
Text: Select the Items option to access your items.
Karis: Now find the rest of your gear, then equip your weapon and armor. Hurry! We need to rescue Tyrell!
[She starts walking off, but stops next to the ladder.]
Karis: One more thing! You should save your progress in the Travel Log now and then. Watch how I do it!
Text: Select the Travel Log to save your game.
[The game forces you to save which might make game script transcribers annoyed with so much optional text.]
Karis: Isaac says it's important to save frequently. So, best that you get in the habit!
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book: Isaac's Diary: It's been 10 years since the last Mourning Moon, so the nightmare is due to return soon. The world must be read. We must be ready. The Mourning Moon IS coming.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[In the main room of the cabin:]
Karis: You're not ready yet? Your weapon and other piece of armor are in chests at the cabin. Find them, then make sure they're equipped!
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book: Traveling with Psynergy: People without powers can't get very far through the wilderness—but we Adepts can! Adepts can use Psynergy to remove obstacles and make paths while traveling. So use Move Psynergy to clear rocks, and utilize Growth Psynergy to make vines grow into ladders. Whenever you think you can't go forward, think about how your current Psynergy could be the key to the situation!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Shelf after getting Sun Saga 1:]
Text: They're all very scholarly books.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Matthew goes to the top floor.]
Text: Would you like to look through the telescope?
Matthew: [Yes]
[An image of Mt. Aleph is shown]
Text: Mount Aleph, site of Sol Sanctum, glows intensely—as it has for many years.
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
[Nothing happens.]
(*Continuing*)
[Main room:]
Karis: You still have to equip your weapon and all pieces of armor before we can go!
-Onward!-
Karis: Great! You're ready! Let's meet up with Garet and your father. Do you remember where to meet them?
Matthew: [Yes]
Karis: OK, then lead the way. Head east from the cabin, then keep going to the cliffs!
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
Karis: No problem. Head east from the cabin, then keep going to the cliffs!
(*Continuing*)
Text: Karis joined your party.
-Onward!-
[Matthew heads into Goma Plateau and stops near a bridge. Isaac and Garet are facing away.]
Isaac: Now, those two should have no problem making their way down from our plateau by themselves...
Garet: And we'll follow at a distance. Yes, I get your plan, Isaac, but this has got me worried!
Isaac: Don't be. It's a great chance to see them in action, as long as they don't get in over their heads.
Garet: No way. Too dangerous. This is a bad plan.
Isaac: They have to learn how to handle themselves.
Garet: This isn't some practice session! My son is in danger! We have to reach him as fast as possible!
Isaac: Remember, my Earth Adept powers allow me to feel what's happening in the forest... Tyrell made it to the far side of the woods. He's taken shelter.
Garet: Fine, fine! You win!
Isaac: So, do I have your word? That we'll let them handle their own battles?
[Garet finally spots Matthew and Karis standing there.]
Garet: Hmm...?
Isaac: Well, Garet? I want an answer.
[Isaac also finally notices they aren't alone.]
Karis: Yes, we're eavesdropping. Don't look so shocked. That's the only way to find out anything around here. Right, Matthew? We caught everything. They’re planning something for us, right?
Matthew:
Karis: I wouldn't be so carefree, if I were you. Not when they're scheming behind our backs.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: What a vote of confidence! I suppose you think we can trust them no matter what.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: I'd be sad too, if my father was always keeping secrets!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: Don't get angry with me! I'm only saying I want to know more!
(*Continuing*)
Garet: But we weren't...! I mean...!
Isaac: We're just strategizing. That's all. We've decided to let you fight your own battles as we descend from the plateau. I suppose you want an explanation.
Matthew:
Isaac: All right, then. I believe this is a great opportunity for you two to grow a little.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: OK, OK! I'll tell you. I just think this is a great opportunity for you two to prove your skill.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Don't worry. It's just that I think this is a good opportunity for you two to prove yourselves.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Don't worry! It's just that I think this is a timely opportunity for you two to prove yourselves.
(*Continuing*)
Garet: Now that you know our big secret, how about we head down into the valley?
-Onward!-
| Goma Plateau |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: Get a move on, Matthew. Take the lead! Find Tyrell!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: There's no time to waste. Tyrell is waiting for us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[As you near the stairs:]
Isaac: Head for the far path. That's the one that takes us toward Tyrell.
-Onward!-
[If you ignore him and head to the stairs again:]
Isaac: Not that way, Matthew.
[Isaac and Garet cross the bridge.]
Garet: I like your gumption, Matthew, but you can't do what you want now. Find Tyrell!
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: No turning back now! The danger grows for Tyrell the longer we delay.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: You're not running away from this! Get going!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Goma Plateau 1F |
[Matthew starts following the path but there's a strange flash.]
Isaac: Hold on, Matthew.
[Isaac and Garet enter the cave.]
Garet: Monsters are nearby. I can feel it in my bones. Stay on your guard!
Isaac: You're on your own against the critters in the Goma Plateau. Ready for this?
Matthew:
Garet: Don't be too eager for a fight. Remember why you're here.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: You'll be just fine if you use your Psynergy wisely.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Don't get too worried. We know it's your first time in battle. Believe in yourself—and your Psynergy.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: That's the way you feel? Then maybe we should just walk off on you two!
(*Continuing*)
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: Don't be worried about facing monsters for the first time. You'll do just fine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: Hey, everyone gets a little scared about their first few battles. Even me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Matthew and Karis fight two slimes. Karis probably wipes them out with one Whirlwind. After the battle, the Fathers of the Year approach.]
Isaac: How'd you like your first battle, Matthew?
Garet: Now, don't forget to exploit your Psynergy fully during battles... But also know that you can use it while exploring too. Psynergy can help you get past obstacles. For instance, you can use Psynergy to move objects that bar your path.
Isaac: OK, let's press onward, Matthew. There's no going back now.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: OK, let's press onward, Matthew. There's no turning back now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: Psynergy is helpful during battles, and you can use it when exploring to make your way past obstacles. For instance, you can use Psynergy to move objects that bar your path.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**********
[NOTE: You can get two different sections of dialogue here depending on what you do when the rock across from you is blocking the jump.]
[If Matthew casts Move on the rock right away:]
Garet: Hold on! Hrrmph! Good thinking, Matthew...
[Isaac and Garet were apparently following them and finish doing so.]
Isaac: You've surprised Garet. He didn't think you’d figure it out so easily.
Matthew:
Isaac: Good, Matthew. It's like you've known how to do this for years. Still, I bet Garet wants to have the last word.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Great, Matthew. It's like you've known how to do this forever. Still, I bet Garet wants to have the last word.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: I know, Matthew. It's like you've known how to do this for years. Still, I bet Garet wants to have the last word.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: I know, Matthew. It's like you've known how to do this for years. Still, I bet Garet wants to have the last word.
(*Continuing*)
Garet: You bet I do. OK, when moving a rock like this, be sure to shove it ALL the way over the edge. Isaac, we made this test too easy for them.
Isaac: Maybe, but it's just a first step.
Garet: It was too simple! Anyone could have figured it out.
Karis: What's all this about a test? Can you believe this, Matthew?! You're both terrible, putting that in our way on purpose! Right, Matthew?
Matthew:
Garet: See?! He doesn't mind! He appreciates a good test!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: A little too excited, aren't you? This is only the first test...
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Be happy! We would have given you a hard time if you hadn't figured it out!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Don't get mad! We wouldn't bother testing you if you weren't worth testing!
(*Continuing*)
Garet: OK, shove that rock out of your way. Just in case, let's take a quick look at how to activate Psynergy.
**********
[If Matthew turns away from the large rock in the path:]
Garet: There's no need to backtrack, Matthew.
[Isaac and Garet were apparently following them and finish doing so.]
Isaac: You have the power to get past that rock. You know that, right?
Matthew: [Yes]
Isaac: I thought you might. But I think Garet is itching to explain.
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
Isaac: No problem. I think Garet is itching to explain.
(*Continuing*)
Garet: I sure am! You might be fine sending these kids into the wild with little preparation. But I’m not.
[He approaches the rock.]
Garet: OK, kids. Take a closer look at that rock.
Isaac: It's blocking the way forward, but you can move it.
Garet: We haven't trained them well enough, Isaac. They should know how to use their Psynergy for this.
Karis: Why are you getting so worked up, Garet? You're thinking of this as some kind of test, aren't you? Matthew knows that rock is blocking our way! And we know what to do! Right, Matthew?
Matthew:
Garet: OK, Matthew. Then why don't you use Psynergy to get us past the rock?
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Great energy! Now, how about we see some great Psynergy, too!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Don't let it get you down. Just think about how your Psynergy can help.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Don't get hostile. I'm just trying to give you hints. Psynergy. Rock. Make it bend to your will.
(*Continuing*)
Garet: Shove that rock out of your way. I'll show you where you can find your Move Psynergy, Matthew.
**********
[NOTE: The text is the same from this point.]
Text: To use Psynergy outside of battle, touch the {X} icon on the bottom right to open the menu.
First, open the Psynergy menu.
Then select the Psynergy you want to use.
You may use certain kinds of Psynergy often...
Assign those to {L] and [R}.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: No turning back now. We need to stay on the move to reach Tyrell.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: That big rock has to go! Use your Move Psynergy, Matthew.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Matthew uses Move to push the rock into the abyss.]
Garet: The Psynergy you current wield should cover your needs right now. Psynergy can be used in a variety of ways, so just keep your eyes open for opportunities to use it.
Isaac: Now, you may be worried that you’ll run out of Psynergy Points if you use Psynergy while traveling. Your PP will replenish naturally while walking—slowly but surely. So use it whenever you need to. Besides, look over there.
[There is a shiny purple crystal nearby.]
Isaac: The area around Aleph brims with elemental power, which crystallizes in the form of a Psynergy Stone. Just touch one to restore all of your Psynergy Points.
Garet: OK, let's keep pushing ahead. Use Psynergy to get past obstacles that stand between us and Tyrell!
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: OK, let's press ahead, Matthew. There's no turning back now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: Take the lead and use your Psynergy when needed, Matthew. Isaac and I will be right behind you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Goma Plateau |
[When you descend the final set of stairs:]
Isaac: [off-screen] You've made it to the bottom of the Goma Plateau. Good work.
[Isaac and Garet finish following them.]
Karis: But we haven't reached Tyrell yet!
Garet: That cave that Tyrell flew to is still a hike away!
Isaac: I thought we would reach the cave long before it got dark. Now we're in for trouble. I never intended on taking the kids into the Tanglewood.
Garet: Well, we've never been in the forest at night either. But now we have to find Tyrell, so let's press onward!
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: The forest ahead changes at night, but we can't waste time. Stay on the move—before things get worse.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: We're about to find out if the stories about the forest are true. I never wanted to go inside it at night. But now we have to, since Tyrell is counting on us. Let's head into the Tanglewood.

Garet: Look—wringing our hands and invoking the name of that godlike hunk of rock isn't going to help matters any. We did what we HAD to do to save Weyard. We released Alchemy. Now its sheer force is out of control.
Isaac: I know, Garet... That's why we must learn more about the Psynergy Vortexes. These vortexes have come in the wake of the Golden Sun event, and they are tied to the deadly Mourning Moon.
Garet: Fortunately, our old friend Ivan has made that a whole lot easier by building us the soarwing. Now we can quickly fly in search of Psynergy Vortexes as they pop up around the Vale area. Most importantly, we can fly over the impassable terrain around Mount Aleph to reach Sol Sanctum!
[They all look out and we see what's left of Mount Aleph.]
Garet: I wonder if the Wise One is even in Sol Sanctum anymore, given all the eruptions nearby. Then again, he's not flesh and blood like us, so maybe all this doesn't even bother him. That's all the more reason we should take soarwing lessons from Karis. She's every bit as disciplined as her father, so we couldn't be in better hands...
Karis: [off-screen] Get OFF the roof, Tyrell!
[The three of them look up to see that Karis and Tyrell are indeed on the roof. Tyrell has the soarwing on.]
Tyrell: I'll be down before anyone knows it Karis!
Karis: Don't be stupid, Tyrell! It's slippery up here after last night's storm! Oh, you can fall, for all I care! But don't break the soarwing!
Tyrell: [off-screen] Don't be so uptight, Karis! I've got it under control!
Garet: That fool son of mine has taken out Ivan's soarwing!

Garet: That fool son of mine has taken out Ivan's soarwing!
Matthew:
Garet: Don't tell me to go easy! I think I know how to handle my own son.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: What, sticking up for Tyrell? When he's doing that?!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: It breaks my heart too! He's 16, but Tyrell still acts like a brat!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Don't snap at me! You're supposed to help keep my son in line, Matthew!
(*Continuing*)
Isaac: We've got to get that soarwing from Tyrell before he breaks it.
[Isaac and Garet run off.]
-Onward!-
[If you don't immediately climb the ladder, these pop up in order. They also appear if you try to go in the door or leave the area.]
Garet: What do you think you're DOING, Tyrell?!
Tyrell: You and your big mouth, Karis! They heard us!
Isaac: Just come down, Tyrell! Please! We won't be mad!
Karis: Isaac! Garet! You have to stop him!
Garet: That idiotic son of mine! He just can't stay out of trouble!
Isaac: It's going to be fine, Tyrell! Take off the soarwing, then step back from the edge!
Karis: Use your brain for once, Tyrell! Don't mess with things you can’t understand!
Garet: Not another step, Son!
Isaac: We can't have you breaking that equipment! It's too valuable!
Karis: Why do you never listen to me? I told you not to come up here!
Garet: I never got into this kind of trouble when I was a kid!
[Matthew climbs the ladder to the roof. Karis walks back to join them.]
Isaac: Just in time, Matthew!
Garet: You're a sensible kid. See if you can stop that blockhead!
[Karis grabs Matthew and pushes him past her.]
Karis: Get over there, Matthew! Talk Tyrell down!
Matthew:
Karis: You can't be happy-go-lucky at a time like this! Go get him down, Matthew!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: Oh, that's just like you, egging him on! You should be a better friend!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: Not happy about it? Well, you weren't the one who had to look after him all day!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: You're angry? I'm the one who should be angry. He's been trouble all day!
(*Continuing*)
-Onward!-
[If you talk to the others, they randomly say one of these lines:]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: Tyrell should know better! Piloting a soarwing without proper training is impossible!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: He thinks he can fly the soarwing without so much as a single lesson from Karis!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: We've got to stop him! He could fall into the valley and hurt himself!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: He won't listen to us dads! If he flies off the cliff, he'll be a goner!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: I don't know how he got to be such a hothead! Can't you talk him down, Matthew?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: That kid never listens to me! When I was young, I was nothing like that!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karis: I haven't given him any lessons, but still he thinks he can run off the roof with the soarwing?!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karis: I make using the soarwing look easy, so no wonder Tyrell got it in his head to use it!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Matthew walks forward.]
Tyrell: Don't come any closer, Matthew! I told Karis that I only wanted to take the soarwing out for a quick spin, but she wouldn't let me!
Isaac: She was concerned for your safety, Tyrell! Flying it without proper instruction is too dangerous!
Karis: Even a Wind Adept needs special training to fly a soarwing. You can't possibly pilot it yet!
Tyrell: Come on—how hard can it be? I mean, you just jump into the wind and act like a bird!
Garet: What?! That's birdbrained, Son! You're going to drop like a rock into the valley below!
Tyrell: You're wrong! You just don't have any faith in me, Dad! And I'm fed up with people not taking me seriously!
Isaac: He's going to do it! There must be something we can do to stop him!
Garet: He's beyond reason! Our only chance is to render the soarwing useless before he takes off!
Tyrell: I'm not scared... Not scared at all...
[Tyrell takes off and starts circling away from the cliff as Karis starts speaking.]
Karis: If you take off, you won't be able to return here to the plateau! You'll drop toward the forest below!
Tyrell: This is great! But... wait! I really AM dropping lower!
Karis: Oh, now he gets it!
[Matthew and the others run forward to the edge of the roof.]
Karis: You don't have the Psynergy to maintain altitude, Tyrell!
Tyrell: But Dad and Isaac have the power to fly it!
Karis: They're extremely skilled Adepts, that's why!
Tyrell: But you're not, Karis! You're an apprentice Adept just like me!
Karis: But I'm a Wind Adept! I'm already used to controlling the wind!
Tyrell: Gah! It's true! I'm dropping lower! Spiraling faster! Help!
Garet: What a disaster! Tyrell won't last long down in the forest. It's too dangerous.
Matthew:
Isaac: You're right. It won't help if we panic. We need to think.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Always on top of things, aren't you? Right, only the forest is dangerous. Hmm...
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: That isn't helping, Son. Don't give up. We'll save him.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Easy now. We'll save him. We'd never just stand by and watch him get hurt.
(*Continuing*)
Isaac: I've got it. He can fly over the forest valley, then land at the cave... That's his only shot at surviving. I'd better tell him—quickly!
[Isaac walks forward ahead of the others.]
Isaac: Listen, Tyrell!
Tyrell: Help me!
Isaac: You're already too low to make it back up here!
Tyrell: Gah! You're right! What can I do?!
Isaac: Fly to the far side of the forest! There's a small peak there!
Tyrell: I'm falling too fast! I can't get there, Isaac!
Garet: I hope you're right about this, Isaac... [to Tyrell] This is NO time to doubt yourself! You said you could fly, so FLY! Fly to the cave! Then take cover! We'll get to you as soon as we can!
Matthew:
Tyrell: You think I can do it, Matthew? Then I'll give it my best shot!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Tyrell: What, tough it out? OK, can do, Matthew! See you there!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Tyrell: What?! I'm a goner if I give up? That's not very encouraging, Matthew!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Tyrell: You don't need to get mad, Matthew! That's not helping!
(*Continuing*)
Karis: Just go already! Don't waste another second, Tyrell!
Tyrell: You'll... You'll all come and find me, promise?
Garet: You're my son! I won't leave you to the wolves! Now get going!
Tyrell: Fine—I'll head out! But you'd better come get me, or else...
Karis: He's doing it! He's... gone!
Garet: I hope Tyrell can really make it to the other side of the forest...
Matthew:
Isaac: Hear that, Garet? Matthew believes in him. You should too.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: You're that confident? Well, positive thinking is just what we need, isn't it!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: You're right to worry, but we need to act fast.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Hear that, Garet? My son has spoken! We’d better not fail yours.
(*Continuing*)
Karis: You have to let Matthew and me go with you. I'm worried about my father's soarwing. It's so incredibly difficult to make them!
Garet: We know how valuable the soarwing is, but...
Karis: And I feel responsible for Tyrell too. If I'd only kept better watch over the soarwing...
Garet: Nonsense—my son is always acting like a fool. You're not to blame.
Isaac: Garet, we should take them along.
Garet: You can't be serious! They're just kids!
Isaac: I'm dead serious. They're willing to brave the forest below to help Tyrell. They have every reason to just let us take care of this. But they want to help. This is what we've been training our children for—assuming their duty to look after the world.
Garet: Well, no offense to the kids, but they're going to slow us down. Tyrell is all alone down there!
Isaac: Tyrell is more resourceful than you give him credit for. He can fend for himself until we reach him.
Garet: Hmm. If you say so, Isaac.
Karis: I’m going to give Tyrell such an earful for taking the soarwing!
Isaac: My, what fire you've got in you for a Wind Adept, Karis. Good—you'll need it out there. Now you both should get a move on if you want to come along.
Garet: Head inside the cabin. Gear up, then meet us at the bridge to the east.
Isaac: Gear up quickly. We need to be on our way.
[Cut to inside the cabin, Karis descends the ladder to the room Matthew's in.]
Karis: Are you ready yet, Matthew?
[She approaches.]
Karis: Isaac asked me to give something to you.
Text: Matthew got a leather cap.
Karis: Let me help you put that on. Watch how I look at your items, then how I equip one.
Text: To equip yourself with weapons and armor, touch the {X} icon on the bottom right to open the menu.
Text: Select the Items option to access your items.
Karis: Now find the rest of your gear, then equip your weapon and armor. Hurry! We need to rescue Tyrell!
[She starts walking off, but stops next to the ladder.]
Karis: One more thing! You should save your progress in the Travel Log now and then. Watch how I do it!
Text: Select the Travel Log to save your game.
[The game forces you to save which might make game script transcribers annoyed with so much optional text.]
Karis: Isaac says it's important to save frequently. So, best that you get in the habit!
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book: Isaac's Diary: It's been 10 years since the last Mourning Moon, so the nightmare is due to return soon. The world must be read. We must be ready. The Mourning Moon IS coming.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[In the main room of the cabin:]
Karis: You're not ready yet? Your weapon and other piece of armor are in chests at the cabin. Find them, then make sure they're equipped!
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book: Traveling with Psynergy: People without powers can't get very far through the wilderness—but we Adepts can! Adepts can use Psynergy to remove obstacles and make paths while traveling. So use Move Psynergy to clear rocks, and utilize Growth Psynergy to make vines grow into ladders. Whenever you think you can't go forward, think about how your current Psynergy could be the key to the situation!

[Shelf after getting Sun Saga 1:]
Text: They're all very scholarly books.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Matthew goes to the top floor.]
Text: Would you like to look through the telescope?
Matthew: [Yes]
[An image of Mt. Aleph is shown]
Text: Mount Aleph, site of Sol Sanctum, glows intensely—as it has for many years.
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
[Nothing happens.]
(*Continuing*)
[Main room:]
Karis: You still have to equip your weapon and all pieces of armor before we can go!
-Onward!-
Karis: Great! You're ready! Let's meet up with Garet and your father. Do you remember where to meet them?
Matthew: [Yes]
Karis: OK, then lead the way. Head east from the cabin, then keep going to the cliffs!
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
Karis: No problem. Head east from the cabin, then keep going to the cliffs!
(*Continuing*)
Text: Karis joined your party.
-Onward!-
[Matthew heads into Goma Plateau and stops near a bridge. Isaac and Garet are facing away.]
Isaac: Now, those two should have no problem making their way down from our plateau by themselves...
Garet: And we'll follow at a distance. Yes, I get your plan, Isaac, but this has got me worried!
Isaac: Don't be. It's a great chance to see them in action, as long as they don't get in over their heads.
Garet: No way. Too dangerous. This is a bad plan.
Isaac: They have to learn how to handle themselves.
Garet: This isn't some practice session! My son is in danger! We have to reach him as fast as possible!
Isaac: Remember, my Earth Adept powers allow me to feel what's happening in the forest... Tyrell made it to the far side of the woods. He's taken shelter.
Garet: Fine, fine! You win!
Isaac: So, do I have your word? That we'll let them handle their own battles?
[Garet finally spots Matthew and Karis standing there.]
Garet: Hmm...?
Isaac: Well, Garet? I want an answer.
[Isaac also finally notices they aren't alone.]
Karis: Yes, we're eavesdropping. Don't look so shocked. That's the only way to find out anything around here. Right, Matthew? We caught everything. They’re planning something for us, right?
Matthew:
Karis: I wouldn't be so carefree, if I were you. Not when they're scheming behind our backs.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: What a vote of confidence! I suppose you think we can trust them no matter what.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: I'd be sad too, if my father was always keeping secrets!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Karis: Don't get angry with me! I'm only saying I want to know more!
(*Continuing*)
Garet: But we weren't...! I mean...!
Isaac: We're just strategizing. That's all. We've decided to let you fight your own battles as we descend from the plateau. I suppose you want an explanation.
Matthew:
Isaac: All right, then. I believe this is a great opportunity for you two to grow a little.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: OK, OK! I'll tell you. I just think this is a great opportunity for you two to prove your skill.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Don't worry. It's just that I think this is a good opportunity for you two to prove yourselves.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Don't worry! It's just that I think this is a timely opportunity for you two to prove yourselves.
(*Continuing*)
Garet: Now that you know our big secret, how about we head down into the valley?
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: Get a move on, Matthew. Take the lead! Find Tyrell!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: There's no time to waste. Tyrell is waiting for us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[As you near the stairs:]
Isaac: Head for the far path. That's the one that takes us toward Tyrell.
-Onward!-
[If you ignore him and head to the stairs again:]
Isaac: Not that way, Matthew.
[Isaac and Garet cross the bridge.]
Garet: I like your gumption, Matthew, but you can't do what you want now. Find Tyrell!
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: No turning back now! The danger grows for Tyrell the longer we delay.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: You're not running away from this! Get going!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Matthew starts following the path but there's a strange flash.]
Isaac: Hold on, Matthew.
[Isaac and Garet enter the cave.]
Garet: Monsters are nearby. I can feel it in my bones. Stay on your guard!
Isaac: You're on your own against the critters in the Goma Plateau. Ready for this?
Matthew:
Garet: Don't be too eager for a fight. Remember why you're here.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: You'll be just fine if you use your Psynergy wisely.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Don't get too worried. We know it's your first time in battle. Believe in yourself—and your Psynergy.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: That's the way you feel? Then maybe we should just walk off on you two!
(*Continuing*)
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: Don't be worried about facing monsters for the first time. You'll do just fine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: Hey, everyone gets a little scared about their first few battles. Even me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Matthew and Karis fight two slimes. Karis probably wipes them out with one Whirlwind. After the battle, the Fathers of the Year approach.]
Isaac: How'd you like your first battle, Matthew?
Garet: Now, don't forget to exploit your Psynergy fully during battles... But also know that you can use it while exploring too. Psynergy can help you get past obstacles. For instance, you can use Psynergy to move objects that bar your path.
Isaac: OK, let's press onward, Matthew. There's no going back now.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: OK, let's press onward, Matthew. There's no turning back now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: Psynergy is helpful during battles, and you can use it when exploring to make your way past obstacles. For instance, you can use Psynergy to move objects that bar your path.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**********
[NOTE: You can get two different sections of dialogue here depending on what you do when the rock across from you is blocking the jump.]
[If Matthew casts Move on the rock right away:]
Garet: Hold on! Hrrmph! Good thinking, Matthew...
[Isaac and Garet were apparently following them and finish doing so.]
Isaac: You've surprised Garet. He didn't think you’d figure it out so easily.
Matthew:
Isaac: Good, Matthew. It's like you've known how to do this for years. Still, I bet Garet wants to have the last word.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: Great, Matthew. It's like you've known how to do this forever. Still, I bet Garet wants to have the last word.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: I know, Matthew. It's like you've known how to do this for years. Still, I bet Garet wants to have the last word.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Isaac: I know, Matthew. It's like you've known how to do this for years. Still, I bet Garet wants to have the last word.
(*Continuing*)
Garet: You bet I do. OK, when moving a rock like this, be sure to shove it ALL the way over the edge. Isaac, we made this test too easy for them.
Isaac: Maybe, but it's just a first step.
Garet: It was too simple! Anyone could have figured it out.
Karis: What's all this about a test? Can you believe this, Matthew?! You're both terrible, putting that in our way on purpose! Right, Matthew?
Matthew:
Garet: See?! He doesn't mind! He appreciates a good test!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: A little too excited, aren't you? This is only the first test...
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Be happy! We would have given you a hard time if you hadn't figured it out!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Don't get mad! We wouldn't bother testing you if you weren't worth testing!
(*Continuing*)
Garet: OK, shove that rock out of your way. Just in case, let's take a quick look at how to activate Psynergy.
**********
[If Matthew turns away from the large rock in the path:]
Garet: There's no need to backtrack, Matthew.
[Isaac and Garet were apparently following them and finish doing so.]
Isaac: You have the power to get past that rock. You know that, right?
Matthew: [Yes]
Isaac: I thought you might. But I think Garet is itching to explain.
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
Isaac: No problem. I think Garet is itching to explain.
(*Continuing*)
Garet: I sure am! You might be fine sending these kids into the wild with little preparation. But I’m not.
[He approaches the rock.]
Garet: OK, kids. Take a closer look at that rock.
Isaac: It's blocking the way forward, but you can move it.
Garet: We haven't trained them well enough, Isaac. They should know how to use their Psynergy for this.
Karis: Why are you getting so worked up, Garet? You're thinking of this as some kind of test, aren't you? Matthew knows that rock is blocking our way! And we know what to do! Right, Matthew?
Matthew:
Garet: OK, Matthew. Then why don't you use Psynergy to get us past the rock?
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Great energy! Now, how about we see some great Psynergy, too!
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Don't let it get you down. Just think about how your Psynergy can help.
--------------------------
Matthew:
Garet: Don't get hostile. I'm just trying to give you hints. Psynergy. Rock. Make it bend to your will.
(*Continuing*)
Garet: Shove that rock out of your way. I'll show you where you can find your Move Psynergy, Matthew.
**********
[NOTE: The text is the same from this point.]
Text: To use Psynergy outside of battle, touch the {X} icon on the bottom right to open the menu.
First, open the Psynergy menu.
Then select the Psynergy you want to use.
You may use certain kinds of Psynergy often...
Assign those to {L] and [R}.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: No turning back now. We need to stay on the move to reach Tyrell.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: That big rock has to go! Use your Move Psynergy, Matthew.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Matthew uses Move to push the rock into the abyss.]
Garet: The Psynergy you current wield should cover your needs right now. Psynergy can be used in a variety of ways, so just keep your eyes open for opportunities to use it.
Isaac: Now, you may be worried that you’ll run out of Psynergy Points if you use Psynergy while traveling. Your PP will replenish naturally while walking—slowly but surely. So use it whenever you need to. Besides, look over there.
[There is a shiny purple crystal nearby.]
Isaac: The area around Aleph brims with elemental power, which crystallizes in the form of a Psynergy Stone. Just touch one to restore all of your Psynergy Points.
Garet: OK, let's keep pushing ahead. Use Psynergy to get past obstacles that stand between us and Tyrell!
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: OK, let's press ahead, Matthew. There's no turning back now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: Take the lead and use your Psynergy when needed, Matthew. Isaac and I will be right behind you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[When you descend the final set of stairs:]
Isaac: [off-screen] You've made it to the bottom of the Goma Plateau. Good work.
[Isaac and Garet finish following them.]
Karis: But we haven't reached Tyrell yet!
Garet: That cave that Tyrell flew to is still a hike away!
Isaac: I thought we would reach the cave long before it got dark. Now we're in for trouble. I never intended on taking the kids into the Tanglewood.
Garet: Well, we've never been in the forest at night either. But now we have to find Tyrell, so let's press onward!
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac: The forest ahead changes at night, but we can't waste time. Stay on the move—before things get worse.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garet: We're about to find out if the stories about the forest are true. I never wanted to go inside it at night. But now we have to, since Tyrell is counting on us. Let's head into the Tanglewood.
