FAQ

What is Golden Sun?

Golden Sun is an RPG game for the GameBoy Advanced from 2000. The series has three games, the last one from 2010. The first two games are following the story of Isaac on a journey to four Lighthouses. The main characters are so called "Adepts" and have the ability to bend one of the four classical elements (Earth/Venus, Fire/Mars, Wind/Jupiter, Water/Mercury).

What is this about?

Iodem is a Discord Bot custom made for the /r/GoldenSun Discord server. At its core it is a general utility bot, but added on is a replica of the in-game battle mechanics. You can become an Adept and dive into an interactive, text-based story.

Is there a list of commands?

Using i!help will show you all the commands you have access to!

How do I get started?

Go to #gabomba-gears and do i!element Venus, Mars, Jupiter or Mercury!

How do I unlock, assign or upgrade a class?

All of the "mono elemental" class series from all three games are unlocked by default. You can change to any class that shares an element with you. e.g. if you are a Mercury Adept, you can change between Mia's and Piers' default classes using i!class Water Seer and i!class Mariner.

You unlock dual-elemental (like the Brute Series) and tri-Elemental (like the Ninja Series) class series through unique unlock methods, for example like winning in battles.

Similarly, classes are upgraded by unique means. Mono elemental classes are upgraded by collecting Djinn of that element, others through completing dungeons or even unlocking other classes.

How do I equip items?

Each class series is either classified as a "Warrior" or "Mage". Your inventory will show a loadout for both of these sets. You can equip an item to either (or both!) of these sets using i!equip Warrior Machete or i!equip Mage Cotton Shirt

Some item types are limited to either of these archtypes. For example Axes or Shields would be limited to Warriors, just like Robes and Circlets are limited to Mages.

How do djinn work?

Djinn differ from the games in that you can only take two at once to battle. You can decide which one to take using i!djinn take Flint or two using i!djinn take Flint, Echo. You can take any djinn of your current class' element.

Can you collect all djinn?

There are 119 Djinn implemented. You can technically get all of them except for Aurora, Eddy, Lull, Kite (due to mechanical limits). However, similarly to items, the djinn pocket unfortunately needs to be limited to 60, as after that it gets hard for discord to display all of them.

How do I enter a dungeon? What are dungeon keys?

You can view the dungeons you have access to with i!dungeons (or i!dgs). You can enter any of your available dungeons with i!dungeon Tutorial (or i!dg Tutorial).

A dungeon key is found in other dungeons. It is one use, to unlock that specific dungeon using the i!dungeon command. After you've done so, you'll need to find that key again. You can only have one key per area at a time.

How far does the story go?

The current story follows the arc of the first Golden Sun game.
