Ghost Army enemy line
The Ghost Army and Soul Army are enemies that are randomly battled in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. These monsters, resembling animated suits of Spanish armor armed with a spear and shield, are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the game.
In Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Ghost Army
- "Ghost Army" redirects here. For the Ghost Soldier Psynergy, see Roc Psynergy set.
A Ghost Army (ゴーストアーミー) is a level 32 variant with a yellow spear and plume. In The Lost Age, it is fought throughout Jupiter Lighthouse.
The Ghost Army is mainly notable for its Pike Assault, which can be pretty damaging. But though it has the highest Defense rating, it is not as sturdy as the Blue Dragon, which has over 150 more HP, and unlike other monsters at Jupiter Lighthouse, this monster's dropped item is not a unique piece of equipment, so it is overall thought of as a "moderate" enemy.
A Ghost Army is especially likely to be affected by Attack-lowering effects. Its statistics are as follows:
| Name | HP | PP | Attack | Defense | Agility | Luck |
| Ghost Army | 250 | 18 | 342 | 136 | 133 | 25 |
| Elemental Resistances and Levels | Exp | Coins | Item Dropped | Drop Rate | ||
 152 (Lv 1)  100 (Lv 1)  72 (Lv 0)  25 (Lv 2)

A Ghost Army uses these battle commands with moderate intelligence:
| Command | Chance to use |
Elem. Stats used with * |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attack | 5/8 (62.5%) |
-- | Standard physical attack. |
| Pike Assault | 2/8 (25%) |
95 Power Level 2
|
Enemy ability where the user charges blue energy into itself, then bolts forward to powerfully strike a targeted Adept with a blue cylindrical burst of energy upon impact. Deals a Jupiter-aligned standard physical attack with the end result multiplied by 1.4, and then that end result has a chance to ignore 50% of the target's Defense statistic. |
| Sonic Slash | 1/8 (12.5%) |
95 Power
|
Psynergy costing 20 PP that projects three wide glowing swaths of energy through the party of Adepts. This would deal a Jupiter-aligned attack with 120 base damage that is spread out across 5 enemies with high damage distribution, but the Ghost Army's maximum PP is 2 short of this attack's PP requirement, so it will never use this against you. Its moderate intelligence ensures this will never attempt to use this command in vain though, always choosing other commands. |
Soul Army
A Soul Army (ソウルアーミー) is a level 37 variant with a light blue spear and plume. In The Lost Age, it is fought throughout Yampi Desert Cave.
The Soul Army is about the same level of threat in proportion to the monsters in Yampi Desert Cave as the Ghost Army is to the monsters in Jupiter Lighthouse, though with group-based Psynergy spells that actually work. Pike Assault can be pretty damaging. It randomly drops one of the game's better forgeable materials, making it extremely popular to abuse the Random Number Generator against to guarantee that Mythril Silver can be amassed.
A Soul Army is especially likely to be affected by Attack-lowering effects. Its statistics are as follows:
| Name | HP | PP | Attack | Defense | Agility | Luck |
| Soul Army | 356 | 54 | 508 | 207 | 156 | 26 |
| Elemental Resistances and Levels | Exp | Coins | Item Dropped | Drop Rate | ||
| 152 (Lv 1) 100 (Lv 1) 72 (Lv 0) 25 (Lv 2)

| Destruct Ray | 1/8 (12.5%) |

Psynergy costing 21 PP that causes a thick array of thick purple lightning to thoroughly strike down through the party of Adepts. Deals a Jupiter-aligned attack with 150 base damage that is spread out across 3 enemies with high damage distribution. |
| Tempest | 1/8 (12.5%) |
95 Power
|
Psynergy costing 27 PP that causes four large, electrically charged tornadoes to cycle through the positions of the party of Adepts. Deals a Jupiter-aligned attack with 160 base damage that is spread out across 5 enemies with high damage distribution. |
Spirit Army
The Spirit Army (スピリットアーミー) exists as a named but unused variant in the code in The Lost Age, where none of its statistics and abilities are coded beyond weak placeholder abilities. Had it been used, it would have appeared as a variant with a violet spear and plume.
Unused idle animation.
