This and Epic Battle Fantasy 4 are the best turn-based RPGs ever made.
All praise our lord and savior, Pseudolonewolf.

Such a fantastic game... words cant even describe the exhilaration and excitement I feel when I'm playing this story. Pseudolonewolf is a truly marvellous game developer!

This may interest people who keep losing their save files:
Every time you clear your browser's or computer's history, no matter what you're using (whether it be Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or otherwise), your save data will be DELETED and will be very difficult to recover! So if you want to prepare for playing this game and have a lot of... stuff... on your computer, then your data will be wiped.
I'm not sure this is 100% accurate, but every time I've done this, my save data has disappeared, so it may be something to note.
Also, this series is done now, and the developer is making 'Taming Dreams' and some game called 'Cultivate'... they're VERY different from what you'd expect of the developer's past titles, as Taming Dreams take a rather wild spin on the older games (almost like a retelling), but if you want something different, I'd try it out!

after all these years and several lost save files i finally played through all 3 of them...

a bit sad it ended on a moral cliffhanger :/

I cannot recommend this game highly enough. The amount of care and attention evident in every tiny detail is simply mind-boggling.

Best leveling tip I've found is to get requiem for Elwyen before you go to sauls dungeon. Once there, you can spam it and train weak party members easily, got all characters to level 25 in less than 6 hours.

I've always considered this to be the best RPG I've ever played, even with respect to such greats as the Final Fantasy games, Zelda, Chrono, etc. No other game quite blends humour and story with such in depth character development and very 'sharp' game mechanics that at once keep it both challenging and fun. Since then, only Tales of Symphonia has dethroned this game in my books (as I hadn't played it as a child and only recently found it), however it still holds top 2 easily and often I come back to it and reevaluate my personal list. I will never take back my 5 star rating, this game is bloody amazing.

If you don't want to change your main party members for defeating Annihilator Animus, the most simple way for defeat him is learn for all the party the "Resist AETHER" skill, because his most usable and very ferocius attack have this element. You can simply lern it with a Turquoise gem and speed up the process with a Evening Star. I was trying to defeat him time ago whitout this skill but as result im died a lot of time. Good luck for the Super Boss killer aspirants (P.S. the best way to lv up is in the little lake in the mine, expecially for the "All solo arenas" badge). Really nice game ^ ^

@OneWhoProtects15, yes, that happens to me pretty often in the solo arenas as well. The only advice I can really give is to learn soulstrike.

Finally, after years having played this series, unable to progress in the past due to IE glitchy sticky keys (now I use a different browser), I have finally completely beaten this marvelous game in it's entirety. So sad that it will not be continued ever, but perhaps someday, somehow, we can return to Belfan, track down the Dark Crystal, find Enki, and soar into space aboard the Goldfish to save the universe from the corrupted Annunaki! Until then, the imagination shall have to suffice. Truly this is one of the best thought-out RPG series to have graced the gaming world. Thank you Pseudolonewolf, even if you no longer care for it.

I am in an infinite loop with Zach in solo arena he was forced into beserk mode against an enemy that can't be hurt unless I use sinstrike

Here's Pseudo's blog post where he pretty directly talks about his new game taking over what Chapter 4 would've been. http://www.alorafane.com/blog/187
And I'll just say it now. If you aren't a person that likes 'emotion-driven games', then you probably won't like what he's done.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
If you guys want to know more about Pseudolongwolf, and all the things he's doing. You can find his blog here: http://www.alorafane.com/blog
A bit of info though, there will not be a Mardek Chapter 4 and beyond. He dropped this series, in a sense. He started up on a different game. - But you can read all about that on his blog.

This is my third run through of the game series, and I just have to say that pseudolonewolf is one of the greatest RPG game creators online. All of his games are highly detailed, have great character and plot development, and every second is exciting and enjoyable. I constantly find myself checking in to see in the fourth installment is coming out. Once I take up programming in college, I would even love to help out if at all possible. 5/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I love this game and I hope you revive it soon enough. My only beef is sometimes the NPCs will clog up an entry way and they take forever to get the hell out of the way.

This game is awesome... And I just love the concept of Miasma-not only does it clear "ethical issues",but it also explains how the monsters are able to spawn out of thin air!It's genial!

Hej, sadly, pseudolonewolf said he wanted to work on mardek again but instead of making the 4th chapter, he made new versions of the first episodes, imo totally killing the original game.
But ! He decided to rename it so I think there is a small chance of a real mardek 4, we just need to hope the guy gives his project to another developper OR comes out of that dark age where he thinks mardek is immature and becomes an AFOM (adult fan of mardek) when nostalgia kills that previous idea.

After 55 hours of gameplay I discover that you can multicast any spell by pressing the left/right arrows. At twice the MP cost you can do this with any spell..... 55 hours later....
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I somehow made a plan to defeat Annihilator:Karnos and Animus I try many ways to defeat that no good for nothing piece of HELL! of that Karnos anyway I used the Cursed blade and beret a Strength potion, Astral Wanderer's Garb or Mythril Platemail, Eclipse Amulet, Scarab of Health (give the other fairies to their leader except the yellow fairy useful at the "Survival Tournament") a Speedy Juice and Angry Juice then used Legion's "Fairy Dust" ability" to weaken the Karnos also Animus....about Animus is a tricky part you need your party (Mardek,Gloria,Legion,Solaar or Elwyen) the Animus mostly use Aether so better have resistant it can also lower your spirit so better used Solaar. That's all for now I hope it helps :)

its a bit sad i got legino so late in game,knowing it would only be really usefull to train him now for future chapters wich won't come

Holy crap. I spend something like fifty hours on and off playing this game, finally beat it... and I have to start over. All that extra content I was planning to do after beating the final boss? Gone. There's a difference between "you can't go back after you walk in that door" and "you can't go back, ever, even after you kill the [censored]", and that isn't made clear at all. Hell, you can even get access to the map after beating the final boss, but for some reason, you can't go ANYWHERE except the end destination. Great game otherwise, but that's one hell of a flaw.

Everytime i play through this game, I am more and more amazed. It truly is one of the best games on the internet. While I am sad we won't ever get a chapter 4, I am excited for the reboot. Hopefully the story of Mardek will continue there

Back to playing this game. After 7 years it still has small nuances and easter eggs that I never found before. For example, if you go to the back of Goznor, where the entrance to the sewers is, a role-playing zombie kid will have a conversation with you, and he'll explain that he's role playing as Sonny from another RPG game of the same name. 10/10 New surprises around every damn corner

For ppl who are wondering when will Chap 4 come out: He is remaking the whole series on his webpage "Alora Fane". The series is called now "Taming Dreams", go there if you wanna see his progress on it.
PS: Honestly Pseudo, I think you dont REALIZE how good you are at making games. Mardek 3 (Since I havent played Taming Dreams yet, I will soon) has a really really very good writing. The character development is huge, and the combat system is cool aswell. I like the fact that EVERY person in the game has an element, and that kinda shows his personality. Even NPCs have element, OMG, you took care of every small detail.
Dude, you are too good as a developper, thanks for this.
