Golden Sun: The Lost Age/Side Scripts/Garoh
From Golden Sun Universe
These pages compile almost all incidental NPC dialogue, both spoken and accessed with Mind Read, that exist separately from the "main cutscenes" in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. This can be used as a reference to more easily look up all optional gossip at each settlement in the game without painstakingly talking to each NPC and casting the Mind Read Psynergy on them. Some technically optional dialogue the player is very likely to read is omitted. All text in italics is conveyed through Mind Read.

Mikasalla
Green-shirted young man near entrance It's been a long time since we had any visitors in Mikasalla. Why would anyone travel all this way just to come to our backwater town?
Northwest bald man I went out to investigate after the earthquake... It looks like a whole different land collided into our own... Osenia was big already, but now that we're connected to Indra... It's just huge!
Yellow-skirted woman
Are you looking for someone?
[Yes] Well, if you're looking for someone...
I'd say the best place to start would be... somewhere else.
[No] Didn't think so... We don't get a lot of strangers coming here.
I like this time of year best of all...
It's so much nicer and more pleasant than the harsh winter...
Girl with boy A town called Garoh lies to the east of us... But...its residents aren't quite...human... The people in Garoh are pretty furry. They look weird—and kinda cuddly—but they're nice enough.
Boy with girl If you look across the ocean to the south, you can see Tundaria. It's bitter cold in Tundaria... It snows there all year long.
Blue-dressed woman If you're going deeper into Osenia, you'd better be ready for trouble. No way I'd leave town... If I got lost on the roads out there, I'd be a monster snack in no time.
Southeast old man In the heart of Osenia lies a sacred place, Air's Rock... Air's Rock has stood there since this world was first formed... Nobody knows exactly what that means, though...
Southeast old woman If you want to go into the heart of Osenia, there are two ways... You can approach from the south, or you can come down from the north... It's weird that you can't go all the way around Osenia from the south... I mean, it's a piece of cake if you go around from the north...
Inspect well Felix peered into the well... It's completely full of water. The bottom is really deep.
Sheep Bah! Baaaaaaa! Oh, yeah! Mmm! I just loves to eat me some grass! Yum!
Chicken Buk buk buk... The ground here is so soft! I just want to scratch and dig, buhKAWK!
Innkeeper's wife You've come a long way, friends. Stay a while, and rest your feet. Why are travelers always in such a hurry? Like my mum used to say, "Fools rush in..."
Innkeeper There aren't any towns between here and Garoh. You should rest here and maybe reequip yourselves before heading out. There's no reason to go to Garoh unless you were heading to Air's Rock...
Purple gladiator in inn (Galahad) (Transfer event) Forgive my manners... No, please... Do not fear me. I am the warrior Galahad. I am looking for someone, and I need your help... Do you know of a knight called Isaac? [Yes] You do? I must warn Sir Isaac that he is in danger most grievous... Even now, Satrage, Navampa, and Azart are looking for him... They wish to avenge the loss he gave them at Colosso. [No] A pity... The one I seek won a battle at Colosso, in Tolbi. He won...and too easily, perhaps. Now, his opponents are eager for revenge.
Galahad (subsequent interactions) Isaac's enemies are gathering now, to destroy him and erase their shame. I fear what might happen if the three find Isaac before I can warn him...
Inspect oven with chimney in inn Felix looked in the oven... That cheese looks fabulous. I could really use a snack... Maybe with some bread and—Gah! I'm getting hungry!
Great Healer in sanctum
Have you been to Garoh?
[Yes] They're all werewolves there... They hide away from those who fear them.
But their cursed forms come with great powers...
[No] Do not fear their outward appearance...
Many revile them, but they are gentle, and they have kind hearts.
I wonder if there are werewolves beyond those in Garoh...
I also wonder if they might not be as gentle as Garoh's folk.
General shopkeeper We only have a small shop here. I used to specialize in items... But now, I sell armor and weapons, too. I don't know much about weapons and stuff... I hope they don't ask me any questions. Maybe they only want items...
Old man in southeast residence Those who have climbed Air's Rock claim that they can see the unseeable... What does the unseeable even look like?
Old woman in southeast residence My husband has tried to climb Air's Rock many times... I wish I knew what he saw in that big hunk of rock. I can't let him try to climb it again. What if he were injured?
Inspect oven with chimney in southeast residence Felix looked in the oven... Fresh eggs, over easy... Some people call 'em "sunny side up"! When it comes to breakfast, these are the best!
Green-shirted young man in southwest residence I heard someone say there's another continent west of Gondowan. ...At least, that's what my dad used to tell me, rest his soul... It must be nice to get out and see the world... But staying in one place is nice, too. Maybe that's why my dad founded this village.
Boy in southwest residence
Hey, mister! Are you an explorer?
[Yes] Awesome! Don't tell anyone, but I want to be an explorer too someday!
[No] My grandpa used to travel all over the whole world!
I love exploring out behind the house... It's my secret place!
Yellow-skirted woman in southwest residence My father-in-law was a great explorer, long ago, as was my husband. That boy sure admires his grandpa, but I get really worried about him. I'm afraid he'd get hurt if he became an explorer like his grandfather.
Inspect oven with chimney in southwest residence Felix looked in the oven... It's a roast chicken so big that it's practically bursting out of the oven! Hmm... I wonder if it was related to the chicken I saw outside... I thought it was a pet!
Garoh (nighttime)
Hooded figure near armory
So, uh...you say you saw a werewolf?
[Yes] Don't be ridiculous... There's no such thing as werewolves!
[No] Of course not... You should know there's no such thing! Not here!
It's grim luck that brings strangers here in the gloom of the full moon.
Southeast hooded figure Good evening. Forgive me for not taking my hood off... I just...don't care much for the full moon's light. Such gorgeous moonlight... If only I could take off this hood...
Hooded figure to the lower left of the well You there... Strangers should not go about at night... Guests are welcome in Garoh, but they'd do well to stay in at night. Foreigners only come here en route to Air's Rock. Only a chosen few can reach the peak.
Hooded figure right of the well
Don't you love the sight of the full moon?
[Yes] Yes, I agree... But it brings me grief.
We here cannot enjoy the sight of it directly.
[No] Heh hrr hrrr... Don't feel like you must watch your words on my account.
The full moon's light gives birth to many strange sights on nights like this.
The night of the full moon is usually so festive...
It's boring having to wear these hoods when strangers come...
Northwest hooded figure Gaaaroooooo! Gah! Whoops... Heh heh hrrr... I was just calling my dog... Sounded good, huh? Which one of us was it who removed his hood in front of these strangers?
Inspect well Felix peered into the well... Meh? I saw the silhouette of a man in the well!
Weapon shopkeeper I'm sorry, but on nights of the full moon, we only sell claws and fangs. You...probably wouldn't have any use for those, would you? I should be outside, howling with the pack, not stuck in here!
Armor shopkeeper Unfortunate that you should come on a night of the full moon, sir... Come during the day to see our full range of wares... These strangers seem normal enough... Except that they're up late for outsiders...
Inspect oven in armory Felix looked in the oven... There are lots of strange-looking plants boiling in that large pot. It's got a familiar smell I just can't quite put my finger on.
Young man in center residence
Good evening, wanderers! Are you looking for something?
[Yes] Searching for werewolves, eh?
[Yes] You don't really believe they exist, do you?
If so, you'd best keep it to yourself...
That is, if you don't want to have folks here howling with laughter...
[No] Hehrrr... Sorry. Just thought I'd ask.
We get some crazy folk coming through here, and I had to ask...
[No] Just...staying up late, eh? Can't say I blame you, on a night like this.
We here know the glory of night of the full moon.
Outsiders could never understand the gift the moon has given us...
Boy in center residence No fair! My brother always gets to go out late! What made Master Maha take my brother into the rock? I want to see what's in there...
Blonde lady in center residence Our oldest son is always scampering off late at night... Where is he? That pup of mine just won't listen. He went out when he shouldn't have... He just wanted to see the moonlight, and now his father blames me for it!
Inspect oven in center residence Felix looked in the oven... Eeeeew! They're frying up bug larvae!! It looks awful! But it smells GREAT!
Innkeeper A clear night around here always means fair weather on the morrow... You've come all this way, so you might as well go to Air's Rock, too... It only rains a few times a year there... Air's Rock is in a desert, so what else would you expect?
Innkeeper's wife Air's Rock can get quite desolate. After all, it's in the middle of a desert... Most people see nothing of the true Air's Rock. Our current guests saw only the wind and the dust...
Left gladiator on bed Zzzz... Zzzz... What a waste... Just a big rock... ...Climbed all over that stupid rock, and for what? Nothing!
Right gladiator on bed Zzz... Whuzza? Whirlwind? Wind Stone? Zzzzrrrgg... That rock was huge. How was I supposed to make it spin?
Inspect oven in inn Felix looked in the oven... It's lamb on the bone, broiled over an open flame. The lamb is golden brown and juicy. They'd probably notice if I took some... Too bad.
Girl in cave residence near well I've heard about the Wind Stone... Using Whirlwind on it makes...something happen. I wish I knew what would happen... Something weird, I guess.
Gray man in cave residence near well Garoh exists to protect Air's Rock. In exchange, we gain its power ourselves... We have other powers than just Whirlwind... I wonder which of us will inherit the powers of Master Maha?
Woman in cave residence near well So you've heard of Whirlwind? Most people haven't... Even in Garoh, only a chosen few can use it. And different people use Whirlwind different ways. Master Maha's mastery of Whirlwind would put anyone to shame.
Inspect oven in cave residence near well Felix looked in the oven... Huh, what is that!? Lobster grilled in the shell! I'd like to experience this luxurious culinary treat at least once in my life!
Healer in sanctum The people here may be different, but they certainly are nice... And those abilities of theirs are amazing! No matter what it takes, I will save the souls of those poor villagers...
Item shopkeeper in cave network
Did you come here from Alhafra?
[Yes] Really? You must have gone through the cave...
You can't go back that way, you know... The return trip is longer.
[No] Oh, so you must have come by way of Mikasalla.
If you're going to Air's Rock, take the crossroads west of Alhafra.
I never change my stock, unlike the weapons and armor shopkeeps...
Old man in elevated northwest residence When our people grow older, they generate strange powers... Of course, I'm just a wee pup, in people years... I cast Whirlwind on the stone, like I was supposed to... So why didn't I gain the power that Maha wields?
Old woman in elevated northwest residence My mate is close to obtaining the power he's been seeking... If he succeeds and carries on Master Maha's traditions, I'll be so proud...
Inspect oven in elevated northwest residence Felix looked in the oven... Newts skewered over an open flame. Are they making food or some strange kind of medicine?
Garoh (daytime)
Young man near armory I hear tell from Master Maha that you guys are special, too... We don't have to hide our secret from you any longer! How could these outsiders have learned Reveal? These guys must be pretty unusual.
Southeast blonde lady Last night when you saw me, I was wearing a hood. I guess I won't have to do that anymore! I thought we'd never be able to talk to outsiders about our secret... I feel so free!
Woman to the lower left of the well
Maha said that you were the only outsiders we could share our secret with...
So...does it bother you that we're all werewolves?
[Yes] Yeah, I thought so... That's too bad.
I was so happy when Maha told us. Now, I'm just really disappointed. Arooo.
[No] Wow! You guys really are different from the others!
Most people run away screaming or even grab their weapons...
Maha said these travelers were like us...
Does that mean they're werewolves, too?
Old man right of the well I heard there were other werecreatures in Osenia, in a few places... ...People who can turn into other things than wolves... I would love to meet other werecreatures someday.
Northwest gray man Awoooooh! Heh heh... Sorry about that! I'm so happy I don't have to hide that I howled out loud! I never thought I'd be so happy to have our secret out in the open!
Weapon shopkeeper What do you think? I'll bet these weapons suit you better than any fangs would! I prefer the tooth and claw, myself, but whatever...
Armor shopkeeper When we change form, it's best to be unclothed. But when you're human, armor always comes in handy. Maha says that when we're wolves, we don't need to wear armor... He says our instincts will protect us.
Young man in center residence Hey! It's you! Thanks for looking out for our son last night! But I'm curious... Did you believe in werewolves before you came here? The younger the werewolf, the less control he has over his wolf form... These travelers must have been very brave to follow him.
Boy in center residence My brother should have gotten in trouble, but they barely even got mad at him! And dad said he was really going to tan his hide this time, too... And now everyone's treating him like he did some amazingly good deed!
Blonde lady in center residence Everyone is amazed that you learned Reveal at Air's Rock! If you have some time, could you teach it to our children? Oh, thank goodness! Everything worked out, and my husband's not mad...
Innkeeper If you can pass the tests of Air's Rock, you can do anything! I've heard stories about other places like Air's Rock... If they can handle Air's Rock, they can probably handle those too.
Innkeeper's wife Maha came along and said the nicest things about you all. He said if they were werewolves, he'd want them to take his place... They must have made quite an impression on Maha for him to say that.
Left gladiator Those wolves were really noisy last night, too. I'm scared of wolves, so I don't go out much at night...
Right gladiator on bed Maybe we should stay and try climbing Air's Rock one more time. If I used a lever, I could probably make that rock spin... But I still don't get what the point of it is...
Girl in cave residence near well I just can't believe that someone outside the village learned Reveal... Normally, outsiders never get in to see Maha, but these people... They can see him whenever they want...
Gray man in cave residence near well So you're something special? An Adept, or something like that? Does that mean that you can turn into a wolf or, something, like us? Did Maha mean that they could change forms, like we can?
Woman in cave residence near well You learned Reveal at Air's Rock and lived to tell the tale... So that must mean... you can use Whirlwind. So these people can use both Reveal and Whirlwind... They must be powerful, like Master Maha is.
Healer in sanctum I've heard about you. They say you're special, like the people in this town. Am I the only one here who isn't special!? Please, won't somebody answer my wishes and make me special, too?
Item shopkeeper in cave network I've heard stories about other mountains like our own Air's Rock... Like on this island that lies across the Eastern Sea, far from Osenia... I heard that one that's across the Eastern Sea is really pretty, too. It's got water spilling down the sides in huge torrents. Sounds lovely...
Old man in elevated northwest residence
You... Is it true that you learned Reveal?
[Yes] Hmm...I thought Air's Rock belonged to my people alone...
But you young outsiders have mastered it so quickly... I might as well quit trying.
[No] No, I can tell it was you they're talking about... I can smell Air's Rock on you...
Ah, but you're so young! And I am so very old... I might as well quit trying.
I thought I could become a leader if I learned Reveal. How foolish of me.
Old woman in elevated northwest residence He's worked so hard... But now, I don't know... He seems so sad... So now, even outsiders are learning Reveal... How do we decide who will lead Garoh now?
Boy in front of northeast rock formation Hey, it's you guys! Thanks for last night! Oh, yeah... That's right... You probably don't recognize me in my human form! I was in the cave with Maha! I was that little werewolf! I'm the reason you can stay in our village and we don't have to wear hoods! My dad told me I put the whole village at risk... He was really mad... He said this whole thing was just dumb luck... But why would luck be dumb?
Maha Take care in your travels, Felix. I wish that I were free to travel the world, like Felix and his friends.
