Alchemy—the force composed of the four elements, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind—are the building blocks of reality. Long ago, this ancient force was sealed away, as the power it offered was so great it posed a threat to the entire world of Weyard.

That power, however, was the source of the world's vitality. When Alchemy was contained, the world began to slowly decay.

Due to the valiant efforts of a small group of heroes, a "Golden Sun" dawned on the world and Alchemy was restored, preventing ultimate destruction. However, Weyard was ill-prepared for the return of these mighty powers, and cataclysmic changes rocked the very continents.

Thirty years have passed since the world was both reborn and scarred forever. Amidst the chaos, three young heroes are about to set off on their own grand quest...

MATTHEw

The hero of the story, Matthew is the son of Isaac, leader of the legendary Warriors of Vale who saved the world a generation ago. After an unfortunate incident, he sets off on an adventure with Tyrell and Karis.

TYRELL

The son of Garet, Isaac's oldest friend, takes after his heroic father in many ways. Tyrell has great courage and curiosity...and perhaps too much of both.

KARIS

The daughter of Ivan, another of the Warriors of Vale, is the most levelheaded of the trio. Mature for her age and quick-witted, Karis is relied upon by Matthew and Tyrell for a great deal.

WHO ARE THE WARRIORS OF VALE?

Thirty years ago, in order to save their crumbling world, the Warriors of Vale raised the Golden Sun and restored the force of Alchemy to the world. For these actions, they are alternately hailed as heroes and condemned for bringing widespread destruction.

SOLVING PUZZLES

In dungeons and other places, you may at first think you've come to a dead end. However, closer inspection will often reveal that by manipulating your environment, by either using Psynergy or good old elbow grease, you will be able to open a path forward. Here we will show you how to solve parts of two puzzles that appear in the game.

By tapping and holding on the log that is blocking the party's path...

Matthew will turn to the log and begin to push, causing the log to roll.

Depending on the location, the direction you roll the log may be important.

The pillar here is in the way, so the party cannot jump across. At times like this...

Use the Psynergy "Move" to slide the pillar off the ledge.

Once the pillar has fallen, the party is free to continue on

Note: Djinn must be divided up as evenly as possible among characters. You won't be able to give all your Djinn to a single, powerful character.

CHARACTER CLASSES

Each character has a class (e.g. "Squire") and this class will grant different abilities that will affect how that character battles. Classes will change depending on the number of Djinn set to the character and their elements.

An Example of Changing Class (for Matthew)

Matthew's initial class is Squire. By setting Djinn to him, his class will change from Squire into something else. Try using different combinations of Djinn to see what happens.

Note: Character classes will still change if you set more than one Djinn of the same element to a character.

Items can be used and/or equipped. First choose the character holding the item in question, then the item itself. You can also give the chosen item to another character or throw the item away.

Note: Equipping some items will allow you to use special Psynergies.

WEAPON SKILL

This is a gauge of how skilled a character has become with the equipped item. By hitting enemies and delivering killing strokes with a weapon, the gauge will fill up. As it does, the character will learn special attack techniques for that weapon. If the gauge becomes full, the chance of the character launching special attacks is increased.

BEGINNING A BATTLE

At the beginning of a battle and each subsequent turn, a screen like the one below will be shown. First choose whether you will fight or flee. You can also check your party's status and change the characters you will use in the battle.

Elemental Power

DJINN

You can release Djinn that are set to characters [such as ] and use their powers. You can also set Djinn on standby [such as ] to change available Psynergies and character classes. For more on Djinn status, see P.21-23 .

Set Djinni	If you select a Djinni currently on standby, the Djinni will be set to a character.

Djinn on standby [displayed as ] can be used to summon powerful spirits to perform devastating attacks. You can choose which of these spirits you want to summon. If there are multiple Djinn of the same element that can be used, the Djinn used will be determined randomly.

Note: The Summons available depend on the number and elements of the Djinn on standby.

List of Available summons

You will need the number of Djinn of each element shown on standby to complete the Summon. Those summons that cannot currently be used are shown in red.

Djinn Currently on Standby

Any character in your party can perform a Summon, even if that character didn't contribute all [or any] of the Djinn currently on standby.

DJINN IN RECOVERY

Djinn used to perform a Summon must recover for a short time before they can be used again. Djinn in this state cannot be set to characters, nor can they be used for further summons. Recovery lasts for one or more turns. Once the Djinn has recovered, it will automatically be set to its character again. In cases where there are multiple Djinn recovering, they will be automatically set to their characters one at a time. Note: If at the end of a battle there are still recovering Djinn, they will be set to their characters again after you've walked around the map a little.

Note: There may be items that you have to equip to use, but some items can only be equipped by certain characters.

DEFEND

The character will defend him or herself, reducing damage taken from enemies.

GETTING KNOCKED OUT AND BEING DEFEATED

If a character's Hit Points are reduced to 0, that character will be knocked out and unable to act further in the combat. If all characters' HP are reduced to 0, the party will be wiped out and you will begin again from the last town you visited. You can restore a character who has been knocked out through the following methods:

• Talk to a healer in a town or village
  Use the powers of some Djinn
• Use Psynergy such as Revive or an item such as the Water of Life

ENDING BATTLES

If all enemies are defeated or run away, the battle ends. Once this happens, the party will gain any Experience Points they earned and pick up all coins and items the enemy dropped.

STATUS EFFECTS

Getting hit by an enemy attack may inflict a status effect on a character. These status effects may put the character at a disadvantage in battle. There are several ways to remove status effects. Some will disappear by themselves with time, while others may require Psynergy, items, or a visit to a healer to cure.

Poison / Venom	When characters are poisoned, they lose HP in each round of combat when in battle or as they move around the map when in the field. Using an Antidote item or the Psynergy "Cure Poison" will remove these conditions. You can also go to a healer ▶ P18 in a village or city temple.
Sleep	This condition causes characters to sleep, which makes them unable to act. After a number of turns or if the battle ends, sleeping characters will wake up on their own. You can also use the item Elixir or the Psynergy "Restore" to wake a character.
Haunted	This status indicates that the character is being haunted by evil spirits. This means that occasionally after a turn in battle the character will suffer damage. The spirits can be exorcised in a town or village temple.
