In response to a post below, saying that there'll never be a *Mardek 4*, I thought I should mention that I'd seen (in the 'Mardek Walk-through' comments), that there was a group trying to get it into development, with the Discord link: https://discord.gg/GsnBV5r for anyone interested!
@Pseudolonewolf: I hope that this link is indeed with your support, and really hope that 'Mardek 4' will be in development soon. Would happily give any help I could!
Thanks so much for a fantastic series - really hope we get to enjoy the rest of the story eventually! :)

Another strategy would be to give a strong melee character confusion resistance, accuracy +50% skill, and a decent non-elemental weapon.

I found that an easy way to defeat pixies is to give Elwyen something that resists confusion and have her use dolorous dirge. Usually kills it within 3 rounds.

Sombre tears (Legion can learn it) can reverse berserk, with minimal damage to your character. Null fire once can also stop some enemy berserk skills.

As I said in the last comment, berserk does more harm than good, especially at the solo arena and boss battles, so it should be cureble by certain items/spells. Also there should be equipments that offer immune to berserk, and a skill that grants immune to berserk. A fairy that grants "auto berserk" sounds like a cursed item, while the other 4 are great items to equip at the solo arena or at boss battles. it should be "immune to berserk",maybe also provide immunity to some other negative status effects, so that it is actulally a good item on par with the other 4. One last thing, the enemy will berserk your heroes but certainly not put haste/regen/shield/m.shield on your heroes, this once again proves that berserk is and should be treated as a negative status effect.

How is berserk a "positive" status effect? It is actually the worst status effect since you can't cure them, the only "cure" is to let the victim die. At the solo arena, it is almost a guaranted defeat if you get berserked by the enemy, since they often have elements that makes your normal attack heals them, or deals 0 damage. Berserk from the enemy at the solo arena is almost a 1 hit kill that is completely unfair unless you know how to deal them before hand. Another situation where berserk is extermely bad is during boss battles, if the enemy berserked your healer/supporter you can't heal, cast null spells or use items as planned, and any other positive status effect (haste/regen/shield/m.shield)already on that character is wasted since only death can "cure" the victim. Or the victim might be a melee DPS that unfortunately heals the boss by normal attacks, which is also very frustrating.

i wonder: is there something down the road if you dont steal that 3000 gold from the priest in first room of the game?

Why do the shops still sells greatswords when no one in your party is able to equip them? Could be lazy to change the shops but in aeropolis there are new type of greatswords that no one is able to equip.

To all the undying fans of Mardek: this is it people, Pseudolonewolf is finally considering making the next opus, and wants your opinion.
So if you're still looking forward to Mardek 4+, then massively post your responses to his message following the thread below:

I had some trouble for the splitting but I find a easier way. Open the inventory and press TAB. You will see a yellow square around selectable thing on your screen. Press TAB until the item you want to split is selected. Now, hold S then press SPACE BAR. Press TAB on an empty space then press SPACE BAR again. :)

Although this is the best flash game series, there still will be a point when the game gets less interesting after you've done most part of the game and all you have to do is grind to beat the annihilators, the solo arenas and finish the game. Other than that, this series has a lot of content for being in flash.

You can press left (or right when targeting your own party) to target all foes (or allies), instead of a single one, with some spells. Especially handy for the Null spells. Took me one and a half playthrough to figure that out.

so does the fact that mardek's eyes are covered so we can't see if they are constantly glowing or not mean what i think it means?

@SkuineaPig do you guys seriously have no humour? 99% has sarcasm in it or non-seriousity and you think that the developer actually mocks his players? You guys really need to calm down.

I don't know... I think Balbanes has a point. I'm not sure basically telling players to go play something else is such a great idea from a marketing standpoint either. "Game OVER. Go play something else!" 6 MONTHS LATER: "Why don't we get any plays anymore?" LOL
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Balbanes, I hope that you know that is making fun of cringy kids with this game over message, calm down. You lost, so what? Complaining about such an unnecessary thing is just unnecessary. Go and get something to eat instead of getting angry at nothing.

@Submachine I am not sure if know about it, but the Lake Hag turned all those people to ice statues, not Elwyen. She has nothing to do with that curse. There is a game where you play from Steeles perspective called something like "Steele RPG". Play it and you know what happened (even if it is just guessing)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I think Elwyen has a secret power that caused the death of her parents. Maybe not even she knows about it, but she's a Water-elemental siren, and her parents were frozen in ice, so it would make sense.

Yeah, he moved over to tamingmind.com. He's... how he has been for a while, take that as you may. If you didn't hear already he's working on a rhythm game called "Sindrel Song", which looks promising so far.

Quick question everyone, I've been trying to get updates on alora fane for a little over a month, but apparently its been shut down. Has he moved to another site? Is he doing alright? Just wondering because I like to keep tabs on him and his work.

Doesn't seem natural for Elwyen to be doing more damage bonking things with her harp than Gloria can do with a polemace. (But i suppose an astral harp isn't exactly natural.)

Some people in the comments here are still acting as if there's going to be new chapters if we just wish hard enough. It's not gonna happen as everyone closely following him knows very well. Pseudolonewolf has long been past the point where he could ever continue Mardek. Even if he will be able to sort out his personal stuff and still want to produce games, it will not be Mardek. The best he's offered is a sort of summarization of how the story was gonna play out, but it's not even likely that's gonna be published as I see it.

GUYS
Pseudolonewolf has been through some personal problems, but now he's back, and has a patreon page where you can support his new game!

I also think he'll resume the mardek series
