List of consumable items

Like most RPGs, the Golden Sun series features a wide variety of items that players can use to their advantage. The following items are consumable, meaning that the items will disappear when used. Fortunately, these items are also stackable, a term used to describe items that only take up one inventory slot despite a given character having multiple copies of the item. In the Golden Sun series, each party member can hold up to thirty duplicates of any consumable item.

Battle items

The following items are all united in that they can be used in battles, although some can also be used out of battle.

HP-restoring items

These items are used to replenish a party member's Hit Points, or HP. If characters run out of HP, they go down. If all party members run out of HP, players will get a Game Over and must continue their game from the nearest sanctum or the last time they saved. On that note, these items will only work on a character who has not yet been felled.
