Sol Sanctum

Sol Sanctum lies within Mt. Aleph. It contains the Elemental Stars, and both are guarded by The Wise One. It is effectively the game's first dungeon.

Sol Sanctum receives its name from Sol, the sun. Deep within the temple, a single room displays on the floor an image of Sol, as well as its counterpart, the moon, Luna. Vale's elders prohibited anyone from entering it, unless there was an important reason. Kraden had to wait years before getting permission to enter.

Sol Sanctum was originally confused with its entrance. However, the true Sol Sanctum was located much deeper in Mt. Aleph. The Sanctum looks like a dark, watery area with stepping stones.

In the beginning of Golden Sun, Kraden, along with Jenna, Garet, and Isaac, entered Sol Sanctum after two strangers had visited Kraden. After activating a series of puzzles, they discovered they could go further into the sanctum than previously believed. Eventually they enter the true Sol Sanctum, which held the elemental stars.

However, after the Elemental Stars were taken, Mt. Aleph erupted. The Djinn awakened, and were spread across Weyard, and the Wise One awakened as well. As a result of the eruption, Sol Sanctum was dangerous to enter.

Enemies
Being the game's first dungeon, the monsters in Sol Sanctum are weaker than their identically-named counterparts encountered later.
