Konpa Ruins

The Konpa Ruins is a dungeon in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. It is located near Konpa Gate, which is how Matthew,Tyrell,and Karis get here. The Ruins are composed of three halls, based on the Venus,Mars,and Jupiter elements. The Venus hall revolves around the Move Psynergy and opens up the Jupiter hallway, which revolves around the Whirlwind Psynergy to lift blue platforms and jump across them. The Mars hallway is blocked, but after solving a puzzle by reassembling a flower mosaic to go outside, obtain the Grip Psynergy, and enter through a second entrance. The Mars hallway revolves around Fireball Psynergy and the newly-obtained Grip Psynergy. After lighting up a symbol back at the entrance with Fireball, it opens up to the basement, where Matthew and co. meet up with Kraden, as well as Rief and Nowell, the son and daughter of Mia, who are observing a large Psynergy Vortex and a mysterous machine near it. However after Nowell tries to investigate the machine, Matthew, Karis, and Tyrell are ambushed by a group of Stealthy Scout enemies. These serve as the Dungeon's boss. After Defeating the Scouts, Kraden and Nowell discover Rief is missing, but soon a dark, imposing figure named Blados reveals himself with the kidnapped Rief, forcing Matthew and Co. to travel south and preventing them from meeting up with Kraden. After Blados' scouts blow up the south entrance to the ruins, obscuring re-entry, Matthew, Karis, and Tyrell find Rief tied up and locked in a box, where nearby, Blados taunts Matthew one last time for now, before escaping. Rief then joins the party.

Trivia

 * There is an area on the roof of the ruins with a gaping hole and a vine leading to it, and it is set up so that a nearby puddle of water could in theory be turned into an ice pillar with Cold Snap and therefore let you gain access to it, but it cannot be done without hacking because Cold Snap is not acquired until later in the game, and by that point the exit back into Konpa Ruins has been sealed off by Blados. The purpose of this part is for plot reasons: it leads down into the part of the Konpa Caves where Kraden, Rief, and Nowell are first found, so this is the inaccessible route the three took to get to that part of Konpa Caves before Matthew's party came to and explored the Konpa Ruins later. Incidentally, it can be presumed from this that Nowell has the Cold Snap Psynergy, because Rief is not able to use it until after the Ice Queen is defeated.
