And to think... this game franchise is going to be ruined by some pacifist bullcrap that Pseudo thinks is good. The character design in the new "rebooted" series is trash, the gameplay will basically be a Pokemon rip off (not like there aren't enough of those already). Thanks autism, you've ruined another great thing.

I couldn't believe the names of the two guards that are by Donovan's side when you finish the last battle... Rosencrantz and Guildenstern... As in Hamlet. I wonder if this is trying to tell us something...? Anyway, Pseudolonewolf's attention to details truly makes him a great artist, and Mardek, his magnum opus. Congratulations for such an amazing work!

I really loved this game but my saved data suddenly got lost. I did not delete history nor did i change the browser. I found that very dissapointing as i had reached the earth temple. Is there any way to recover the lost save data? I would really appreciate if anyone helps me with this.

Wow. Just wow. Remember back when we all thought 8 damage was a crit? Back in the first chapter, things were simpler. Now there's all these Legions, Solaars, and S'Slencks of complication. Ah yes, the good old days.

To people asking questions related to the game, many of them are answered in the walkthrough found on this site except for one of the temples, a superboss, minor things such as crafting, and a few other trivial things. If you want an answer on how to find something in the story, that would be a good place to look. You can also check out just about any LP or walk-through as well, or even the fighunter wiki to get answers as well. Also, as for temple order, I would suggest: Water, Fire, Earth... at least, that's how I go about it.

@Azamra18:
You can grind for money by equipping the Golden Crown gotten by defeating King Cuthbert (Sandflow caves midboss) or crafting it in Xantusia, and activating the Double Gold passive effect.
Pixie dust is dropped by, ahem, pixies (in Dreamrealm), and the Serpent Crest is dropped by the Serpent in the Axolotl cave in the Water Temple.
Lifewood Monastery can only be accessed if you have Vehrn. You can recruit him from the Aeropolis Yalortian Temple, and head east from the central Dreamcircle in Lifewood.

Hi all! I love this game, but I've gotten stuck. Done everything in Aeropolis, but I've run out of money in order to buy all alchemical ingredients. Can't find pixie dust or serpentine crest--where do I get them? Also, where is Lifewood monastery?

Sadly, Pseudo stopped working on MARDEK. Instead, he works on a remake called "Taming Dreams". The first 3 chapters are availible on Android and soon on iOS.

I just hope pseudo isn't overworking himself with the new chapter if he is working on it,we wouldn't want to see this series coming to an end so soon

Glitch found: in the earth temple puzzle room(s), try talking to your teammates. the dialogue appears to be the same but the face is still Mardeks,

For Royal knights, Donovan and Sharla are really under leveled for this mission. Considering that the enemies are about 5 levels higher than them in the start. Good thing I've pretty much focused all my levels in the last two chapters into Mardek, so he can carry the squad! The mages are so squishy... The three lizard encounters generally end with Sharla or Donovan dying immediately...

Well, Spoilers, but Deugan stayed behind to fight off a mech/zombie/dragon so that the rest of the party could board escape pods to escape Moric's batttleship before it crashed. Emela ended up deciding to leave the royal guard to go adventuring somewhere after Deugan's death...

The story so far so people stop asking:
Chapter I: a spaceship from the planet Anshar crashes into Belfan and is discovered by Mardek and Deugan. The dying Annunaki on board, Rohoph, is forced to transfer his soul to Mardek.
Chapter II: years pass and the boys are training at Goznor Castle. They team up with Elemancer Emela to complete a mission at the neighbouring town, Canonia. There, they find the local Shaman's been zombified by another Annunaki named Moric.
The heroes return home to find zombie villagers everywhere, and enter the sewers to fight Moric. However, his soul transfers to the dead hero Social Fox. He escapes to his spaceship over Canonia. The heroes chase and defeat a now-insane Moric. Deugan sacrifices himself during a self-destruct sequence so the others can escape.
Chapter III: Mardek, now a Royal Guard, works with fellow thaumaturgists Sharla and Donovan to take care of strange happenings in the Light Temple, only to uncover serious developments closer to home...

can't say deugan died... but in the battle with the green darkness boss.. Rhobob whatever... after they defeated Rhobob (with the Fox hero body) then the battle ship self-destruct timer. deugan stall by fighting the undead mechanic guard dog so they can escape using ship pod. deugon thought to be dead in the battle ship.

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 ^ ^
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@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.

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.

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
