Kolima Junction

Kolima Junction (コリマの分かれ道, the Fork of Korima)is a minor location in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

Story
Kolima Junction, as the name suggests, is a central point where multiple paths come together. Going south leads back to Kolima Forest, while going east leads to Talon Peak. The western path serves as a shortcut back to Belinsk. Matthew's party first travels here after their meeting with Tret and Laurel. Having learned that the Slap Glove would be needed for their party to awaken the Mountain Roc, Matthew's party attempts to go and find it. They are stopped by Ryu Kou and Hou Zan, who overheard the Adepts' conversation with the Waelda. Ryu Kou reveals that Sveta gave him the Slap Glove, and offers to let them use it, in exchange for assistance in breaking into Belinsk's fortress.

Through their conversation, the Adepts learn that Sveta is actually a member of Belinsk's royal family. Though upset at the revelation, the Adepts decide to partner with Ryu Kou and Hou Zan, feeling that is what Sveta wanted the entire time.

Walkthrough
