Roc Feather

The Roc Feather is an important item story-wise in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and one of the first main objectives to obtain during the game. It is obtained from the Mountain Roc. As an important item it can never be dropped or sold.

This feather is of assumingly tremendous size and good stability, praised qualities that make it mandatory for creating Soarwing machines. After Tyrell breaks one Soarwing, the groups' first assigned main task is to collect some of these feathers to build another Soarwing, which is important to Isaac and Garet in their investigations concerning Mt. Aleph and the area around nearby. After a long journey across Angara towards Morgal, Matthew and his friends finally meet up with Ryu Kou and Hou Zan at a crossing near the exit of Kolima Forest and obtain the Slap Glove, an item needed for waking the Mountain Roc from its slumber. As the party approaches the giant bird at Talon Peak's top, they use the power bestowed by the Slap Glove to disturb the Roc's sleep and pluck the long seeked artifact. After these events, the feather remains in the inventory of the group and has no further use in this game.

Although there is no hint what actual use for the party it now could have, it can still be assumed that this item will make an return appeareance in the next Golden Sun game.
