Tunnel Ruins

From Golden Sun Universe

This article is in need of more images. You can help by adding some.

The Tunnel Ruins are the underground pathways connecting the undersides of the ancient ruins north of Lalivero (the ruins now being the construction site of Babi Lighthouse) and the true entrance to Venus Lighthouse to the south on Gondowan. What makes the dungeon unique is that it forks to become two pathways, and which one you will be forced to travel down is based on what the glowing circles in front of the giant female statues in both Venus Lighthouse's exit and Tunnel Ruin's entrance display. If the circles are connected to form either a "straight-down" path or a path that extends across the left area of each diagram, it reflects the pathway you would be going through. Both pathways contain a strong armor artifact (the Asura's Armor in the right pathway and the Oracle's Robe in the left), so exploring both is recommended. The path you will take can be changed by "speaking" to the statue in Venus Lighthouse.

[edit] Walkthrough

[edit] First Room

As you go down the stairs from where you left off at Babi lighthouse, run south and walk down a set of stairs, then through a door. Here, you will see two pillars with yellow tops. While there are many solutions to this room, one is to move them both so that they are one space from the right wall, and touching north-south. Go back up and walk onto them, then jump across and go through the door to the south. In here, you can either go straight down or to the left, depending which path you openned at Venus Lighthouse.

[edit] Southern Path

This room contains a pillar with water at the top, and a space with a water drop on it. Push the pillar onto the water drop space, and a platform will appear, allowing you to jump across the gap. Head south to find another pillar, this one empty. Use Douse to fill it, then push it onto the water drop space. Jump across, then go through the door.

This room has many platforms leading to two sides. Take the right route to enter a room with a statue. Use Reveal to expose a treasure chest where the statue is, containing Asura's Armor. Go back and head down the left path. In here, use Douse to fill the empty pillar, then Move it to the right side, equal to where it started (against the north wall). Once it's in place, cast Frost to create a pillar of ice atop it. Go back up and now jump across. Head through the door on this side. Once through, jump to the main platform and walk south into another room. (Continues at Final Room)

[edit] Western Path

This room also has two pillars. To proceed, place both pillars on the left side, one as far up as it will go and the other as far down so that they line up with the outcropping from the north wall and are one space apart. Jump across to proceed to the next room.

This room has two smaller pillars and a third trapped in ivy. First move the two pillars to the left so that the one is as far as it will go and the second is one space to the right of the first. Jump across to reach the third pillar and use Whirlwind to free it. Drop this pillar onto the floor below and move it along around the room until the end of the path. Move the second of the first two pillars to the right, jump across, and use Whirlwind on the door to proceed.

Here there are path to the left and right. Go left and through the door and use reveal on the statue to find the Oracle's Robe. Go to the right to enter the next room.

[edit] Final Room

This one contains 5 statues of 5 different colors, with marks on the floor for each. These are no ordinary statues; you can actually use Mind Read on them for hints as to where they are placed. Once they are placed so that the red statue is on the top left tile, the blue statue on the top right, the yellow statue in the center, the green one on the bottom left tile, and the violet one on the bottom right, the nearby door opens, and you are granted passage into the true dungeon in Venus Lighthouse.
