Everything between these two lines will show up - The Sol Blade is a Long Sword-class weapon that appears in Golden Sun: The Lost Age and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. It is typically regarded as the most ideal weapon in the game; not only is its base-200-attack-increase one of the highest of any game - just barely beaten out by the 210 attack of the Darksword - but it has access to the most consistently strong Unleash effect in the game, Megiddo, which deals roughly triple the amount of damage to a single target as a normal Attack command would deal. Unlike any other Long Sword, it can only be equipped by the leading Venus Adepts of each game - Isaac and Felix in The Lost Age, and Matthew in Dark Dawn. The version of the Sol Blade that is found in The Lost Age can be retrieved from a fairly nondescript chest in the final storyline dungeon Mars Lighthouse; in contrast, Dark Dawn seemingly retcons the Sol Blade as a mandatory pick-up in the Apollo Sanctum, the game's remote final dungeon, wherein it carries an important plot function.
