Fallen Star #8 - Exploring Mercury Lighthouse
2Fallen Star is a hack for Golden Sun that rebalances tons of things, increases the difficulty, and adds content such as new bosses/attacks/items.

ROM shouldn't be hard to find on your own.
In this video, I clear out almost all of Mercury Lighthouse sans the main boss here.
Starts out simple enough after moving a statue for Mia which is then followed by her getting blocked by a nasty lizard freak. Your party ends up fighting it while Mia just sits back and does nothing.
As for this enemy, it can actually be a rather nasty foe so toss out all your strongest attacks. If you seal its psynergies via Air Render, it won't be able to use Ice Horn so keep that in mind. You can run back to Imil to rest up after this fight is over with and try to find where Mia has gone off to.
The normal enemies in here shouldn't pose any great threat. Just use your strongest AoE attacks if a bunch of enemies show up.
About halfway through this place, you run into Mia who finally decides that "Well, joining with these fellas would be a good idea right now". Probably should have done that earlier missy and saved yourself the trouble.
Mia has some useful skills in Frost & Tundra, both inflicting nice amounts of damage with a chance of inducing sleep. She also has a sizable PP pool to utilize both skills which is a plus. Failing that, she has a heal skill in Ply which also is required for a few puzzle in the lighthouse and her unique single target skill, Ice. I believe this works off her attack stat and, well, she isn't the strongest arm around. You're better off having her attack with her Witch's Wand and hoping for a Stun Voltage unleash.
Her weak points are more or less the same as Ivan's...low HP and Defense. Her Agility isn't super good either, but it's much better than Garet's at least.
As for the rest of this lighthouse, there's two points of interest.
First, the Mimic. It should not be too huge of a threat to drop as long as it stays away from Wind Slash spammage. You'll get a Water of Aleph on its death though so it's well worth your time to drop it.
The other is the 2nd Mercury Djinn. You'll have to fight this one. So long as it stays away from its worst skills, this should be a quick one to drop. At least this will give Mia a class upgrade and a boost in her stats when paired with her own Mercury Djinn she starts with.
After riding a waterfall up to the top floor, we find the lighthouse has been activated and all our favorite friends waiting for us...AKA Felix/Kraden/Jenna as well as Saturos & Menardi, the duo that owned Isaac & Garet at the very start of the game. Menardi leaves with Felix/Kraden/Jenna while Saturos stays behind to wipe out our party again...oh wait this is the Mercury Lighthouse and Saturos, well, he didn't think that one through too well I'm guessing.
Boss fight with him comes up next video.
