Golden Sun/Side Scripts/Suhalla

These pages compile almost all incidental NPC dialogue, both spoken and accessed with Mind Read, that exist separately from the "main cutscenes" in. This can be used as a reference to more easily look up all optional gossip at each settlement in the game without painstakingly talking to each NPC and casting the Mind Read Psynergy on them. Some technically optional dialogue the player is very likely to read is omitted. All text in italics is conveyed through Mind Read.

Gondowan Passage
Left soldier (during Colosso) Us? We're the soldiers who guard the bridge to Gondowan. It's not like anyone's ever going to attack this bridge, though, so there's not much sense in guarding it. The warriors have been fighting while we've been guarding this ''bridge. Being on duty at a time like this is plain old bad luck!''

Right soldier (during Colosso) Even if you head east, you can't get to Kalay from here, even! A few reckless warriors have tried, but none have ever returned! You'd think you could get through the cave to the east... But it's absolutely impossible to get through that cave.

Bottom soldier (during Colosso) Do you wish to cross into Gondowan? [Yes] I won't stop you, but I wouldn't go unless I had business there. I'd go to Tolbi and watch Colosso. That's what I'd do. [No] That's a good idea. They wouldn't let you into Babi Lighthouse, anyway. Those who go to Gondowan rarely go knowing what it will be like. I wouldn't even think of going there.

Far left soldier (after Colosso) Why would Iodem choose to wait for us in a place like this? I get nervous when I feel like I'm being watched. ''Iodem is going to Babi Lighthouse? It must be very near completion.''

Upper-left soldier (after Colosso) We haven't seen anybody unusual crossing the bridge today. Come to think of it, there was a group of six strange-looking folk... It's a lot of stress, but I'm a diligent worker, so I can handle it. ''Just act natural and ignore Iodem... There's nothing to worry about.''

Right soldier (after Colosso) Even if you go east from here, you won't end up in Kalay! A few reckless warriors have tried, but none ever came back! Everyone comes down this way when they find they can't cross the Karagol. They all have to try the cave themselves, despite what I tell them.

Iodem (if talked to after being left behind) I've been waiting for you, Isaac! We should go to Babi Lighthouse soon. We have to head for the lighthouse quickly so we can save Babi.

Suhalla (during Colosso)
West young man This is Suhalla. Don't try crossing the desert. The sandstorms are too fierce. ''The Suhalla has long been known for its sandstorms. There are too many now.''

West girl The sandstorms suddenly increased... I hope no one gets caught in one and gets injured. None of the grown-ups in Suhalla go into the desert during a sandstorm.

Southwest old woman You can't get to southern Gondowan from here, can you? There are many natural obstacles. There is no way to cross them. Southern Gondowan is guarded by the natural terrain. We are constantly worried about an invasion from Angara...

South blonde lady Are you trying to get to Lalivero? [Yes] Making it through the sandstorms is impossible. Don't bother. [No] Didn't you come from Angara? Anytime Angarans come to Suhalla, they're always going to Lalivero. The people of Lalivero have been worked hard by Angara's soldiers. No one would dare make Suhallans work like that!

Southeast white-garbed man We Gondowans will never trust anyone from Angara! You know why? Sheba, the holy child of Lalivero, was taken away as a hostage to Tolbi. The ruler of Tolbi took a girl named Sheba hostage to control Lalivero. We'll never trust anyone from Angara!

Old man near sanctum It has been said for ages that desert spirits only create sandstorms... when they are angry. I know the desert spirits will exact their vengeance on Babi for this.

Boy on roof of inn The workers say there're huge festivals in Tolbi. I'd like to see one. I've heard that Tolbi's Colosso is a warriors' festival, but... I wonder what a warriors' festival is like...

Item shopkeeper Ours is the only store in Suhalla. This is a small village, so one store is enough. A village this small can't support many shops.

Old man in south residence Tolbi probably ignores small villages like Suhalla, doesn't it? Now that I think about it, that's probably for the best. ''Suhalla is a desert village. I guess it will never be like Lalivero.''

Old woman in south residence If you head east across Suhalla, Lalivero is so close you can see it across the Nol River, but you can't get across the river delta. Good thing it's not easy to get to Lalivero! If it were, Suhalla would be completely left behind.

Young man in southeast building Let me know if you have any problems. I'll do anything I can to help. I want to help people so badly, I can't sit idly by!

Girl in southeast building My father loves people so much, he can't help but aid anyone in trouble. But I love my father despite his faults. When I see people in trouble, I just can't sit still. I guess I'm just my father's child!

Inspect oven in southeast building Isaac looked in the oven... He's making mulukhiya soup. It tastes great, and it's good for your body.

Healer in sanctum I get sick thinking about Lalivero being under Tolbi's rule. The holy child, Sheba, will save those deluded Laliverans. That is what they believe in Lalivero.

Innkeeper Sigh. Nothin' to do... Maybe we'll see business once Tolbi's festival ends. Once the festival ends, the travelers will head for Lalivero. If they just get caught in the sandstorms, they'll be my customers!

Innkeeper's wife I wonder if any customers can get through those sandstorms... First, they'd have to want to cross through the desert. For some reason, anyone who gets caught in a sandstorm winds up here. They all give up trying to cross the desert and take shelter in Suhalla.

Suhalla (post-Colosso)
West young man Welcome to Suhalla. I bet the sandstorms were terrible... I bet these warriors were brought here by a sandstorm.

West girl Those soldiers kept mumbling about monsters... They say the soldiers were ravaged by a sandstorm... but I think it must have been a monster...

Southwest old woman You were brought to Suhalla by the sandstorm, right? [Yes] Everyone who gets caught in the sandstorms winds up in Suhalla. You should be glad you weren't blown away to some strange place! [No] I don't care what anyone says, there shouldn't be so many sandstorms! What in the world could be going on in the Suhalla desert? If you fight the storms, you'll enrage the spirits, and they'll take your life. I bet that's what happened to the soldiers from Tolbi.

Southwest woman We were brought here by the sandstorms. It all happened so fast! After you get swallowed by a sandstorm, you have a few moments before you get blown back here, but still there's nothing you can do...

South blonde lady The desert is enveloped in sandstorms! It's frightening! I wonder why there are so many sandstorms? It wasn't this bad until only recently.

Southeast white-garbed man Soldiers from Tolbi were caught in the sandstorms, and nearly all perished! The survivors are in that house. The soldiers from Tolbi were collapsing, like after a battle.

Old man near sanctum This sandstorm is the fault of the Angarans! If you all hadn't built that thing in Lalivero, the spirits wouldn't be angry! Lately, all the sandstorms have been incredibly fierce. What could the desert spirits be so angry about?

Boy on roof of inn Why are the sandstorms attacking humans? It's as if the sandstorms are actually alive! Grown-ups say the sandstorms attack people. But, it doesn't make sense that a storm would attack anything!

Item shopkeeper Aren't you surprised to find so few shops? [Yes] I bet you are! Suhalla is a small village... Ours is the only shop! We don't have anything great, but feel free to look around. [No] It's really something to have an equipment shop... We've had more customers lately because of the increase in sandstorms.

Old man in south residence Do not approach the large cyclones in the middle of the Suhalla. The Suhallans call those death storms. They are pure evil. Once you get swept up in a death storm, you can never be rescued. ''Countless people are missing because of them.

Old woman in south residence Death storms, huh? There was a saying about those big cyclones... Ummm, What... What was it? ...I can't remember. ''"Ye who seek..." Something about eyes of truth... What was it?'' "When ye take thy treasure, a creature of darkness..." ''Oh, fiddle-faddle. I forget.''

Young man in southeast building I am amazed these soldiers survived their wounds... They must have been in good shape! Who could have done this to such powerful soldiers?

Girl in southeast building The wounded are sleeping, so don't raise your voice! These old soldiers must rest until their wounds heal.

North bedridden soldier Where is Sheba... What has happened to Sheba? ''Sheba was not far behind us. She should still be safe.'' ''Sheba must be in the desert somewhere... If not, maybe they...''

South bedridden soldier Why were they headed toward eastern Gondowan? I have a bad feeling about this. Please! You must overtake them... A column of water shot up when they were caught in the sandstorm. Then the sand was gone. But it was so much more water than we could ever hold in our barrels...

Healer in sanctum I wonder why we're having all these sandstorms... I shudder to think sandstorms will get me if I leave town.

Innkeeper We've been busy ever since the surge of sandstorms! We are happy about it, but we feel bad for the poor travelers. The sandstorms are sending customers our way! I hope those winds keep right on blowing!

Innkeeper's wife It will take time for the storms to die down, so make yourselves at home. ''Please, great sandstorms! Send us more customers!''

Left muscle-man in right inn unit We went into the Suhalla to go build the lighthouse, but the storms caught us. Sigh. Now we can't reach Babi Lighthouse. Even if we can't go, it won't affect construction of the lighthouse much.

Right muscle-man in right inn unit The sandstorms are so bad, we've given up trying to reach Babi Lighthouse. So, shall we give up on Babi Lighthouse and head back to Tolbi?

Orange-shirted man upstairs I suppose you folk were blown here on your way to Babi Lighthouse? [Yes] If you follow the northern mountain, you can get back to Tolbi. I'm giving up, too... Let's head back that way. [No] I set out for Babi Lighthouse to open a business there, but then I was blown back here again! When that cyclone threw us into the air, I thought we were done for! I'm happy just to be alive!

Suhalla Gate
Left soldier (during Colosso) Only those with travel papers may pass through. If you do not have them you must turn back at once. I never ask why I must protect this place! I simply obey Babi's orders...

Right soldier (during Colosso) Do you want to go to Babi Lighthouse? [Yes] Show me your travel papers, and I'll let you pass! What! You don't have travel papers? Then I cannot let you pass! [No] Hmmph! You don't want to see Babi Lighthouse? You're a strange one! I wonder if this year's Colosso is over yet... ''Sigh. I'd like to see Colosso next year...''

Left wounded soldier at gate Ohhh! It's no use... I don't think I can get up. Send help once you reach Babi Lighthouse. ''Curses! It's a disgrace to be seen by Iodem like this...'' I'd rather crawl into a hole and hide.

Right wounded soldier at gate It's a pity a Colosso victor should end up like this... Next time I see them, I'll be sure to settle the score! ''I thought I was dead! I'm lucky even to be alive right now...'' ''The strange ones with the wild hair... Their power was too much for us.''

Healer inside cave door I have been traveling the lands spreading good will. ''Cliffs, deserts... Gondowan is a desolate wasteland.''

Venus Lighthouse (exit)
Left wounded but surviving soldier  Babi's soldiers are all Colosso victors... How could anyone beat all of us? Who were they? I thought I recognized one of them... ''An alchemist who served Babi... Was it Kraden?''

Lower-left wounded scholar in forest Ohhh! How could they attack mere scholars? Those barbarians! ''Their powers were so... strange... Who were they...?''

Lower-right wounded soldier in forest They are already... headed for Babi Lighthouse... They weren't in Venus Lighthouse very long. They were heading north toward Babi Lighthouse when I last saw them.

Center wounded scholar in forest Iodem, be happy. The entrance to Venus Lighthouse is open... After years of study... our dreams have at last come true! ''Uhnnn... If only I could move...'' The lighthouse is open at last, but at what cost?

Wounded soldier near Venus Lighthouse's entrance How... How did they open the door to Venus Lighthouse? The young boy seemed to glow for an instant... Then the entrance to Venus Lighthouse opened.

Wounded scholar near Venus Lighthouse's entrance I've waited so long to see what it's like inside Venus Lighthouse, but... I can't even move without feeling terrible, terrible pain. ''I must get inside Venus Lighthouse... Must find the connection...''

Wounded scholar in entry hall Kraden told them to stop, but they attacked anyway. Attacking scholars... how vicious! If Kraden hadn't been there, we surely would have been killed.

Wounded young scholar near mural Kraden went inside, but then came back and said this isn't the entrance. But we've searched the lighthouse, and there's no other entrance. Kraden said something about this being the exit... I wonder what he's discovered...

Scholar looking over statue room I thought I'd explore after the door opened. While I was searching this room, Kraden and the others appeared. They did something to the statue that made the floor light up. I wonder what mysteries the statue holds... Kraden said the statue indicated the true path, but how?
