Hermes' Water

The Water of Hermes is a rare item found at Mercury Lighthouse in Golden Sun. It requires the use of an Empty Bottle, found in a chest in the Old Couple's home in Imil, found near the entrance of the town.

Its primary use is to heal Tret, to allow him to remove the curse on the villagers of Kolima, and advance the story, opening up new areas.

If used in or out of battle, this item restores one character to full HP, the same effect as a Potion. It can only be used once, but the bottle itself can be refilled if the player wishes to take the time to get it. Once used, the player is left with an Empty Bottle, which can be sold or refilled.

Being Artifacts, both the Water of Hermes and the Empty Bottle can be sold and later repurchased. The Water of Hermes can be bought for 2000 coins and sold for 1500 coins. The Empty Bottle can be bought for 1000 coins and sold for 750 coins.
