Ulysses is a Mars-aligned Summon introduced in Golden Sun: The Lost Age and featured in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn as a summon sequence that must be collected via finding its summon tablet before it can be used. Roughly in the middle of The Lost Age, it can be found in the hidden Izumo Ruins dungeon underneath the village of Izumo, but reaching it requires both the Parch and Sand Psynergies respectively awarded by the major dungeons Aqua Rock and Gaia Rock. In Dark Dawn, the summon tablet is located inside Border Town Mine northwest of Border Town, which can be reached and completed any time while the party is restricted to the Morgal region of Angara. In either case, as a collectable summon, Ulysses uses more than one element of Djinni on standby, requiring two Mars Djinn and two Mercury Djinn. It is slightly weaker than the more straightforward Meteor summon, but it attempts to nullify each struck non-boss enemy's pending action for the current turn. While The Lost Age depicts some kind of Japanese mystic attacking the enemy party with cards, Dark Dawn heavily redesigns the entity and bases it on a Greek aesthetic.
...that when fighting the Mercury Djinni Serac in Islet Cave, it is statistically slightly weaker than the Mercury Djinni Balm, which you are guaranteed to pass by first in Mars Lighthouse in the game?
...that the Retreat Psynergy, usually ineffective in towns, is functional in Shaman Village?
...that in The Lost Age holding down the Select button while highlighting an equippable item in a shop brings up a menu that lets you check its Item Details?
