Abandoned Mine

The Abandoned Mine is a mine rich in Psynergy Stone minerals northeast of the Goma Plateau beyond the Tanglewood. It and the two aforementioned locations comprise the first three-part introductory dungeon to Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, of which this is the last part. It contains the first boss battle in the game, the Tangle Bloom.

Matthew, Karis, Isaac, and Garet must travel to and through the Abandoned Mine in search of Tyrell, who had crashed here while flying the soarwing. They find him unconscious, his energy having been sucked out by a Psynergy Vortex that has appeared here for the first time Isaac can recall, and before they can reach him they are attacked by an enormous plant monster, the Tangle Bloom. They dispatch it fairly easily with Isaac and Garet's experienced help and save Tyrell.
