| 6 | Summons are a well known mechanic in the ''Golden Sun'' series. Depending on their respective requirements, specific amount and type of Djinn are required on standby to call them. After a successful summon the summoner's elemental power will increase to an extent and the Djinn used for the summon are put to rest in Recovery mode for a set period of time. Since summons are fueled by Djinn on standby[[note]]This also decreases a character's stats, since a Djinni can only increase stats when on set, not while on standby/recovery[[/note]] they cannot be used as frequently as Psynergy and weapon unleashes. There are 16 summons in the first game, 4 assigned for each element. All of them are inspired by [[CrossoverCosmology various myths around the world]]. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | ''The Lost Age'' added 13 more summons in addition to the first 16, but with the twist that they require two types of Djinn instead of one and their summon tablets are also needed before they can be summoned. The tablets are scattered all around Weyard, and it's up to the player to collect them all. They all have secondary effects. Furthermore, five of these summon tablets are located in {{Bonus Dungeon}}s containing {{Superboss}}es. With the exception of [[SuspiciousVideogameGenerosity Charon]], the player is required to defeat those superbosses in order to obtain those summon tablets. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' introduced only one new summon, [[MythologyGag inspired from the Nintendo commercial of the first game]]. Other summons return with enhanced and/or new designs, mostly to more accurately representing the ancient belief or mythology they're based from. While some of them look the same as their GBA incarnations, others change radically in design. Regardless, they still serves the same function as they do in the first two games. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Listed below are summons that are not Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury (since those summons are basically using a Djinni to attack, that's it). |

| 111 | A dragon, requiring three Mars Djinn to summon, that breathes a torrent of fire on the target. |

| 113 | * CallBack: Tiamat's design in ''Dark Dawn'' is probably based from the second game's commercial, which features a slim dragon with huge wings that breaths blue flames. |

| 153 | An ice robot, requiring four Mercury Djinn to summon. In the GBA games, it is a stationary construct at the top of the mountain which covers the target in a glacier then shatters it. In Dark Dawn, it is an equine train that crashes through a mountain before freezing the local area. |

In ''Dark Dawn'', he still attacks with icy wind, but his form is now a gigantic mechanical horse-train-thing, who stomps the ice under him to generate a blizzard. |

| 192 | ** The design may be a reference to the description of a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherub cherub]] in the Book of Ezekiel, which was said to have the face of a human, a lion, an ox, and an eagle. Judgment obviously has the form of a human, and the other three can be seen in the shield (lion), horns (ox) and wings (eagle). |
| 193 | * SphereOfDestruction: The result of his attack. |

| 223 | * PlayingWithFire: Deals fire and wind damage in a blazing tornado. |
| 224 | * ProperTightsWithASkirt: Looks pretty cute in her outfit for a goddess of vengeance. |

| 226 | * StatusBuff: Increases the front party's physical attack upon summoning. |
| 227 | * StuffBlowingUp: She can use her swords this way by creating a magic circle around the enemies which erupts with a violent explosion... |
| 228 | * TornadoMove:...or simply throwing them to the ground to create a fire tornado for a few seconds before emerging out of it. |

| 246 | * MagicalGirl: Her frilly dress and magic wand makes her look like one. |

| 279 | * ElementalPunch: Throws one to the enemies that splits into a swarm of snapping jaws. |
| 280 | * GuideDangIt: Not as bad as Haures or Flora, but most ''Dark Dawn'' players on their first run did not notice his summon tablet hiding under the mine wall and there is a bomb that looks like one of those generic background items (which it isn't). You can use Fireball Psynergy on the bomb and seize your prize. [[spoiler:But like the Haures example above, better find it fast, or it will be {{Permanently Missable|Content}}.]] |
| 281 | * HeroicBuild: In ''Dark Dawn'', he was redesigned to look like those perfectly sculpted Greek statues. |
| 282 | * InNameOnly: Doesn't have all that much in common with [[Literature/TheOdyssey his namesake]]. |
| 283 | * PlayingWithFire: A strange case. While Ulysses deals Mars damage, the attack animations may pass as something very [[MakingASplash aquatic]], since the snapping jaws resemble a crab's pincers. He also requires an equal number of Mars and Mercury Djinn to be summoned. |

| 320 | * StatusBuff: Inverted. Eclipse's secondary effect is to lower the enemies' attack stat. |

| 327 | ->'' "A goddess bearing the water of life." '' |
| 328 | |
| 329 | A water-bearing maiden, requiring three Jupiter Djinn and three Mercury Djinn to summon, that showers her users with healing Mercury energy. |
| 330 | ---- |
| 331 | * DubNameChange: To Quetzalcoatl in the German version. |
| 332 | * {{Expy}}: |
| 333 | ** ''The Lost Age'': The heavy [[VisualPun bells]] on her dress, her kind and loving nature and [[http://lparchive.org/Golden-Sun/Update%2043/14-goldsun-1017.png her overall design]] might bring [[Manga/AhMyGoddess Belldandy]] to mind. |
| 334 | ** ''Dark Dawn'': She also has some passing resemblance to the Harvest Goddess in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoon Animal Parade/Tree of Tranquility]]''. |
| 335 | * EyesAlwaysShut: More easy to tell in ''Dark Dawn.'' |
| 336 | * GradualRegeneration: Heals the party at the end of each turn after she is summoned for five turns. This gives your healers an opportunity to strike the enemy while the effect lingers. |
| 337 | * HealItWithWater: This water-based entity is the only summon that focuses exclusively on healing. |
| 338 | * HistoricalBeautyUpdate: She is actually the hideous devouring Aztec goddess with snakes for head and clothing, but the games makes her look very attractive, just look at her picture. |
| 339 | * InNameOnly: Even moreso in the German version. While Coatlicue is a rather obscure god, Quetzalcoatl is probably the best known Aztec deity. |
| 340 | * MakingASplash: Though not used for offense. |
| 341 | * TheMedic: Since Mercury is ''the'' healing element in Golden Sun, Coatlicue is assigned to this role to establish said element's superior healing capabilities. Her name in Japanese also refers to several medicinal plants called ''Coatli'', a Nahuatl word for "[[MakingASplash water]] serpent". |
| 342 | * ShowgirlSkirt: In ''The Lost Age'', her long pink skirt only covers 3/4ths of her waist. |
| 343 | * ShrineMaiden: Her appearance in the second game makes her look like one-where her robes resemble a white kimono jacket with red accents and wide sleeves that suspend heavy golden bells. |
| 344 | * WesternZodiac: Her redesign in ''Dark Dawn'' alludes to Aquarius instead. |

| 350 | |
| 351 | ->'' "Master craftsman of ancient times." '' |
| 352 | |
| 353 | A robot, requiring three Venus Djinn and four Mars Djinn to summon, that fires a barrage of small missiles followed by a [[FantasticNuke much larger one]] that strikes at the end of the next turn. |
| 354 | ---- |
| 355 | * AnachronismStew: What is a missile-firing titan doing in a medieval Weyard? |
| 356 | * ChargedAttack: Daedalus's larger and stronger missile takes a turn to reach the enemy, though the lesser ones do deal damage for the time period. |
| 357 | * ChestBlaster: Guess where the stronger missile comes out from. |
| 358 | * GadgeteerGenius: Based on the above statement, the summon is probably an allusion to one of Daedalus' creations. |
| 359 | * HumongousMecha: Either this or a LivingStatue. |
| 360 | * LethalJokeCharacter: For a summon of his tier he deals a pitifully low damage. But Daedalus' main gimmick is that a second larger and more powerful missile will hit on the next turn after it is summoned. |
| 361 | * MacrossMissileMassacre: Showers the enemies with multiple weak missiles at first while the stronger huge missile flew off somewhere [[BaitAndSwitch until it landed right on their faces]]. |

| 369 | |
| 370 | A dragon, requiring three Venus Djinn and four Mercury Djinn to summon, that traps its target in a sphere before charging straight through it. |
| 371 | ---- |
| 372 | * EnergyBall: Creates one in it summon sequence. Its guardian Star Magician can use one, and has magic based on summoning magical spheres. |
| 373 | * GratuitousSpanish: Named Azul because of its blue color instead of the mythological creature it is based from, because WaterIsBlue. |
| 374 | * KrakenAndLeviathan: Azul is probably be based on the serpentine depiction of the latter. |
| 375 | * MakingASplash: Deals water damage. |
| 376 | * TheParalyzer: Has a chance to stun its targets. |
| 377 | * SeaMonster: '' "An awakened dragon from the deep." '' |

| 383 | |
| 384 | ->'' "The embodiment of destruction." '' |
| 385 | |
| 386 | A demonic knight, requiring three Mars Djinn and five Jupiter Djinn to summon. In The Lost Age, it sends a pyramid of electricity towards the ground which unfolds and unleashes energy in all directions, taking the form of lightning dragons. In Dark Dawn, it instead sends a surge of dark energy. |
| 387 | ---- |
| 388 | * {{BFS}}: It's almost as tall as he is, and greatly resembles another {{BFS}} in the series; the [[InfinityMinusOneSword Excalibur]]. |
| 389 | * CastingAShadow: To contrast Judgment's [[LightEmUp light-based]] powers, especially in Dark Dawn. |
| 390 | * DecompositeCharacter: Catastrophe's "demonic-knight" traits are shared to his guardians; the knight-based Sentinel and the demonic Ancient Devil. |
| 391 | * DubNameChange: Desaster in the German version. |
| 392 | * EvilCounterpart: To Judgment. In ''Dark Dawn'' Catastrophe even transforms from Judgment. |
| 393 | * GoodWingsEvilWings: Leathery demon wings compared to Judgment's feathered angel wings. |
| 394 | * ManaBurn: Can cause enemies to lose 10% out of their maximum PP, [[UselessUsefulSpell though the effects are negligible for bosses who have]] [[LoopholeAbuse powerful ablilties that cost no PP]] and/or regenerates it more than they lost. |
| 395 | * ScaryImpracticalArmor: Catastrophe is actually the same size as Judgment, but his armor is more than twice his size (and more menacing). |
| 396 | * SuperPoweredEvilSide: In its ''Dark Dawn'' iteration, Catastrophe is revealed to be a transformed Judgment. It's a more powerful summon and has a higher cost to whip out too. |
| 397 | * ShockAndAwe: The launched dark dragon is also infused with electricity. |
| 398 | * UnholyNuke: While Judgment came down like a light from the heavens, Catastrophe's attack has a much more sinister air to it and gives off a more end of days vibe. |

| 404 | |
| 405 | ->'' "The boatsman of the river Styx." '' |
| 406 | |
| 407 | A skeleton, requiring eight Venus Djinn and two Jupiter Djinn to summon. |
| 408 | ---- |
| 409 | * AwesomeButImpractical: As expected from an ultimate summon, Charon hits hard but requires a costly amount of Djinn on standby (8 Venus, 2 Jupiter) to be summoned. However, what is holding this summon back more than say, Catastrophe and Iris is that many enemies and bosses in the games highly resist Venus-based offenses. The dreaded [[OneHitKO secondary effect]] [[UselessUsefulSpell rarely functions too]], unless it is used by [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard Dullahan]]. |
| 410 | * BraggingRightsReward: In ''Dark Dawn'', Charon's summon tablet can only be obtained after defeating the final boss at least once, in a game where there's little to nothing to do post-game. |
| 411 | * CastingAShadow: Generates a shadow ball that engulfs targets in pure darkness. |
| 412 | * DarknessEqualsDeath: Not only the screen dims during his summon sequence, enemies are also swallowed in the sphere of darkness and might die instantly from that one attack. |
| 413 | * DemBones: Charon is a skeletal entity here. |
| 414 | * TheFerryman: He even carries an oar with him in ''Dark Dawn''. |
| 415 | * GoodWingsEvilWings: Sometimes depicted with shadow wings. |
| 416 | * OneHitKO: May inflict this effect to non-boss enemies. |
| 417 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Charon's robe, gemstones and shadow ball are various shades of purple and he is the second strongest summon in the game (ignoring elemental weakness and resistances). |
| 418 | * SuspiciousVideogameGenerosity: His summon tablet can be obtained in the same dungeon Dullahan resides in, though he's not guarding it unlike what happened to [[BraggingRightsReward Iris]]. ''You are going to need more than that to defeat'' ''[[{{Superboss}} said boss]]''. |

| 424 | |
| 425 | ->'' "Goddess of rainbows, guide of souls." '' |
| 426 | |
| 427 | A woman, requiring nine Mars Djinn and four Mercury Djinn to summon, that not only hurls enemies into the Sun but also heals and revives the party. |
| 428 | ---- |
| 429 | * AwesomeButImpractical: The strongest summon in the game that can toss enemies into the Sun for massive damage, revives AND heals all your teammates requires 9 Mars and 4 Mercury Djinn on standby, which is quite a lot. If the enemy is not killed once Iris (and other offense methods) is used, the reduced stats from exhausting the required Djinn for the summon will give the player a ''severe disadvantage'' and might cost the player the match. |
| 430 | * BraggingRightsReward: Can only be obtained after defeating [[{{Superboss}} Dullahan]]. After that, there's literally nothing that is worth defeating using her regardless of elemental resistance other than the [[FinalBoss Doom Dragon]] (which is easier than Dullahan). |
| 431 | * CompositeCharacter: Shares some traits with several solar goddesses. This is probably due to her being the ultimate summon in a game called ''Golden Sun'', so Camelot emphasizes more on the solar aspect than the rainbow personification of Iris in the Myth/ClassicalMythology. |
| 432 | * FeatherMotif: While not shown to have wings, feathers are seen in her summon sequence, possibly to symbolize her divine status and her ability to revive the dead (read:downed characters), similar to ThePhoenix. |
| 433 | * HurlItIntoTheSun: Her offense strategy. StuffBlowingUp ensues. |
| 434 | * LightEmUp: A goddess of light that |
| 435 | %%* LightIsGood |
| 436 | * PimpedOutDress: An ornate and beautiful dress befitting the most powerful summon in the game. |
| 437 | * PlayingWithFire: Deals fire damage. More specifically it deals fire damage ''from the sun.'' |
| 438 | * ThePowerOfTheSun: Despite being based from a rainbow goddess, Iris is more inclined towards the Sun (and outer space) in this game. |
| 439 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Has a lot of purple accents on her dress, and is the strongest summon. |
| 440 | * RaysFromHeaven: Which carries enemies to space to be hurled into the Sun. |
| 441 | * SpaceIsNoisy: Apparently hurling the enemies into the Sun cause a really ''really'' loud explosion. |
| 442 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: Another sign that she is anything but mortal. |
| 443 | * TooManyBelts: Enough to wrap her long legs. |

| 453 | A chandelier dragon, requiring three Venus Djinn and two Mercury Djinn to summon, that bathes its target in light. |
| 454 | ---- |
| 455 | * CanonImmigrant: From the commercial video for the first game. |
| 456 | * DamageIncreasingDebuff: Its secondary effect is to reduce the targets' elemental resistance. |
| 457 | * GentleGiant: Disguised as a chandelier in the Belinsk Opera House due to a love for music and shows no harmful intentions against humans, especially to the girl who leaves out food at night for it. |
| 458 | * LightEmUp: Unlike other Venus summon tablets (which are based from demons and underworld creatures with dark powers) Crystallux's powers are light-based, probably to convince the players that Venus is not fully retooled into a darkness elemental force. |
| 459 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: This one is ''[[SiliconBasedLife fused with a chandelier]]''. |
| 460 | * PapaWolf: [[spoiler:Crystallux is willing to assist Matthew's group because the Grave Eclipse monsters killed the girl who cares for it the whole time.]] |
