GS: TLA 100% No S&Q Bronze PW

			Golden Sun: The Lost Age - No S&Q 100% - Bronze Password (no limit)

NOTE: This faq was made without considering All Enemies as a criteria. I don't intend to do more than one run of All Enemies and this FAQ helps explain why.

	What is 100%?

For this run I am defining 100% as
	- All Djinn
	- All Summons
	- All class changing psynergy items (at least one of each must be in inventory in the clear data file)
	- All field psynergy
	- Defeat all bosses (including Chestbeaters, Agatio & Karst, Dullahan, Vault Bandits, Colosso Gladiators)

	What is Bronze Password (no limit)?

Any Bronze Password that is accepted by the game is valid for this category. This may sound a little ridiculous since "surely" a lv99 party will destroy everything, but this is not the case. Bronze passwords only ever bestow 28 levels worth of stats regardless of what level the GS1 party is.

We'll use this to bring Isaac / Garet / Mia at lv90 and Ivan at lv1. This is enough for avoid to work in every area while Ivan (who also has 28 levels worth of stats) will gain a lot of levels purely through boss kills. He'll gain an addition 20~ levels worth of stats making him approximately level 48 by the end of the run.

Since we're making use of Avoid, effectively this category is a low-ish level boss rush category. Should be fun.

	What aren't you doing?

I guess there are a few things we're not doing despite this being called 100%. The way we usually measure completion is through the information verifiable from a Clear Data save file. With a Clear Data save file the only thing we can do is enter the Arena which allows us to verify all of the things stated at the beginning. The following are excluded:

   - All Locations: the world map is not accessible via the Arena, so this is excluded. The run never goes to Yallam, for instance.
   - All Artifacts: the only way to verify this is by checking the global artifact market accessible from a shop keeper,
                    which isn't accessible from the arena
   - All Stat Boosters: stat level ups are random, making it impossible to know whether these were used
   - All Side Quests: (e.g. Large Bread kid in Alhafra) there is nothing tractable for verification from Clear Data

There is one other criteria - "All Enemies" - this is something that is up for debate for inclusion. Essentially the game tracks whether or not an enemy type has been defeated before. Once that enemy has been defeated it is added to the battle arena (which is how defeating All Bosses is tractable from Clear Data). I will do an All Enemies 100% before settling on whether 100% should include this criteria or not, otherwise the definition as stated in the beginning is a "Reasonable 100%" that people would more likely want to run.

	How long will this take?

My average run time is around 7:30-40 for this category. I can see a world where this get under 7:10 once things are optimized properly.

	Anything else you're bringing across with the password?

All field psynergy items and the two required 'boss' battles - Vault bandits event (Golden Boots!) and Colosso Gladiators

	What is the retreat glitch?

Lower your PP below 6, attempt to use retreat while bound to L or R, it fails. However the game still executes the Area change that would have gone along with retreat despite you still being in the room where retreat was cast. As GS looks up area transitions relative to the room the game thinks you are in, this allows for a bunch of wrong warps. Good times.

	What strategies are you using for this run?

Procne :3

 	Seriously?

Kinda. Procne eventually gets replaced by Eclipse. Bosses will be summon rushed, save for Doom Dragon.

 	Are classes important?

Almost always no.

	What items are important?

Golden Boots (go fast), Sol Blade (hit hard), Tomegathericon (Call Dullahan, 140% base agility modifier), Mysterious Card (Avoid).

	Why is Felix called v|wow?

Felix's name determines the puzzles in Gabomba Statue, Gaia Rock and Trial Road. v|wow is the best name that my half-assed routing could come up with for this category. v|wow is about 2s slower than y~~~~ in Any%, but appears to be the best name that has the optimal trial road puzzles on the left side.

	How did you get the Sol Blade?

Using the retreat glitch you can pull the Sol Blade from the Psynergy Stone at the entrance of Airs Rock -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIdt53_mqXQ

	Why are you entering / exiting Trial Road repeatedly?

I am doing the item duplication glitch. Essentially, dropping an artifact during Trial Road adds the artifact to the global artifact market purchasable from any appropriate shop. I'm duping 7 copies of the Golden Boots (+30 agility is good) and 6 copies of the Tomegathericon (140% base agility modifier is great when all your djinn are on standby). These items are important to set up many of the summon rush strategies used on the superbosses (Star Magician, Valukar, Sentinel in particular, not so much Dullahan) as well are getting to over 200 agility to outspeed the Doom Dragon.

	How did you get Iris?

	How did you make a river go into the heart of Atteka?

See https://goldensunwiki.net/wiki/Atteka#The_Magic_River for the tldr, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4k1VhOiUEU for a video on the glitch explaining it, http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?topic=2867.0 for the "why this works"

	This didn't answer any of my questions.

Cool. Ask in chat. I don't bite.
