| - An Atropos' Rod is a Staff found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. It is dropped by Fire Dragons in Yampi Desert Cave, although the odds of receiving it are very slim. Being a Staff, it can be equipped by Jenna, Ivan, Sheba, and Mia. It can be bought for 18900 coins and sold for 14175 coins. It increases the wielder’s attack by 169, making it the second strongest Staff in the game, second only to Lachesis' Rule.

| - An Atropos' Rod is a Staff found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. It is dropped by Fire Dragons in Yampi Desert Cave, although the odds of receiving it are very slim. Being a Staff, it can be equipped by Jenna, Ivan, Sheba, and Mia. It can be bought for 18900 coins and sold for 14175 coins. It increases the wielder’s attack by 169, making it the second strongest Staff in the game, second only to Lachesis' Rule. Atropos' Rod's Unleash effect is Life Shear, which activates at a rate of 40% (notable, since most Unleashes activate at a rate of 35%). It converts all damage to Mars damage and attacks with an additional 114 attack points, which is higher than almost all Unleashes in the game (it is still outdone by Lachesis' Rule). In addition, it occasionally kills the target instantly, an undeniably powerful effect. Atropos' Rod is a powerful weapon, although it cannot be obtained until late into the game. This limits its usefulness, as many enemies would most likely be defeated within a few turns anyways. Also, many players may use this as a placeholder until they can obtain a Lachesis' Rule or Tisiphone Edge. However, for those who do not gain access to Anemos Sanctum, Atropos' Rod is the most powerful weapon available to Sheba and Mia. In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, it is available only to Rief, Karis, and Himi, and is the strongest weapon available to Rief before the endgame. It can be obtained by defeating a Fenrir at the Apollo Sanctum or the Endless Wall; use a Mars Djinn to increases your low chances of obtaining it. If you get one, it is recommended that Rief is the first person to equip it, since Karis and Himi can equip weapons of similar power, while Rief cannot.
