Statuses

Does Stone Soldier have different statuses in The Lost Age? --Mercury Mech 02:41, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I'll have to check with my emulation and do quite a bunch of research because I had a similar problem with the Clay Gargoyle. I found after a while that everything about that monster is the same between games except for its HP meter which is about a hundred points higher. >_< Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 07:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

While we’re on the topic of statuses, I was looking at Raging Rock’s statuses in The Lost Age’s Player’s Guide (the one written by Nintendo Power) and most of them are different from the ones listed on this page and GameFAQs. The guide listed 186 HP, 20 PP, 312 Attack, 180 Defense, 173 Agility, and they don’t list Luck. Plus they say it yields 401 EXP and 209 Coins. So, which is correct? --Mercury Mech 05:05, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Well well! Nintendo Power's guide got all the stats and rewards correct! Also, it drops Vial 1/32 times, and it has 6 luck. A long time back I was frustrated with how GameFAQs seemed to be getting its stats and moves all wrong, so being able to check the statistics with Atrius' ROM hacking utility is nice. (BTW, Raging Rock uses Fiery Blast 4 out of 8 times, Headbutt 2 out of 8, Dynamite 1 out of 8, and physically attack 1 out of 8.) Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 05:24, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
On a related note, Raging Rock is included in the data of the original Golden Sun in the same way the unused monsters are in TLA. Same palette swap as in TLA, but really weak stats. Atrius 16:19, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
