@grimmjow the iron spears are a random drop in the sun temple (I don't know which enemies drop them; all I know is I got 2 by the time I finished it) and you can also buy them in the lizard village under the sun temple.
@alexgar if you REALLY want to know, it was at least the 7th time I fought him (I beat him with no problems -- took about 3 minutes the first time I tried but I had a problem and browser shut down) and I was getting tired of fighting him, so I just saved it.
Just a note: You get LESS exp from helping an enemy (I used Nullify light/dark from Mardek so I could master my attack reactions, and I got 90 exp), medium exp from helping yourself (I got about 100 each time while healing myself) and MORE exp when helping allies (I got 140 when I used a skill on allies). This is the exact same skill, but depending on who you use it on, you will get less or more exp.
Ugh I missed the ending cutscene for chapter two. I accidentally pressed the Z key instead of the X key and (Yes, I was using Internet Explorer, I saw your warning) the key stuck. I kind of wish you could replay the ending scenes to see the storyline (after all, it IS storyline based -- I now have no idea what the setup for chapter 3 is and I am DEFINITELY not playing for 7.5 hours to replay it and see that scene...).
It's funny to watch the chat when you don't have all of the party members. I didn't have zach or the paladin (I can't remember his name now) when I fought Moric the first time, but Rohoph still said, "Mardek, Deugan, Girl, Other guy" as if I had all four members. Lol
Pseudowolf: I often accidentally will press the "finish" button after a battle instead of the "take all" after I choose who gets what (then I choose "take all" to give to Mardek). I think it would be nice, in chapters 4 and beyond to have a warning message (that you can disable) if you are leaving items behind.
In case you didn't read the books on the bookshelves and don't really pay attention, here's a short tip on elements: Water > Fire, Fire > Air, Air > Earth, and Earth > Water, which completes the "circle". Light > Dark, Dark > Light, thats simple too.
I kind of hate lag. I can barely do reactions. I think that there needs to be a few less details in the battles (I turned off the extra details, but...).
+ if you tried jumping in Lake Qur without using the breathing spell. "You're not ready at all, you liar! You can't breathe underwater like that!" I'd give it a 5/5 just for the witty and sarcastic remarks pseudo made. epic series, can't wait for more of them.
Beaten 1 and 2 again, but I would like to beat them again! :D I really want to get extra stats for chapter 3. I don't know if it will REALLY be worth it if I go through the whole thing again, but...
I love the game, 5/5 but just two complaints. I think that the experience system should be a little different. I know it has been the same since MARDEK 1, but in my opinion, it would be better just to evenly split up EXP for a killed enemy (not when you attack but don't kill it). I kind of am a *little* OCD when it comes to my characters being the same level, so... :D The other thing I wanted to say was that the inventory is a little confusing. I think, with spoils, you should be able to choose how many of each thing goes to each person, and that there should really only be one inventory. It gets extremely confusing trying to figure out who has what, and putting it in one inventory for crafting, etc.
