Azul

Azul is a Summon sequence of the Mercury element found only in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. It is the ultimate Mercury summon. When four Mercury Djinn and three Venus Djinn are on standby, and Azul’s Summon Tablet has been collected, the Azul Summon sequence can be activated. It resembles a very lengthy blue sea serpent encase the opposition in a big 3D sphere of Mercury energy and then crashing into it from below into the top of the screen.

Azul has a base Jupiter power of 330 and also does additional damage equivalent to 21% of the enemy’s maximum HP. In addition, each enemy affected may be Stunned. Azul, however, is not automatically summonable once one collects the required Djinn. Azul can only be summoned once the Summon Tablet containing the sequence has been found in the lower depths Treasure Isle near the end of the game; the very fearsome optional boss Star Magician guards the summon.

Azul is among Daedalus, Catastrophe, Charon, and Iris as “ultimate” Summon sequences in the Lost Age. Azul is the game’s strongest Mercury-based attack; stronger than the popular Boreas summon sequence. The somewhat hefty Djinn requirement, however, causes players to use Azul mostly in boss fights, rather than in random monster battles, though Azul proves extremely effective against Wonder Birds at Islet Cave. And in the few boss fights that remain in The Lost Age after when Azul can first be acquired, Azul can be hugely effective, dealing massive damage to Valukar, Sentinel, the Flame Dragons, and the Doom Dragon itself.

Cultural Allusions
Azul is modeled after the Leviathan, particularly as the sea monster is presented in other RPGs such as Final Fantasy.
