What I really like about this game is that the protagonist isn't the omnipotent, all-knowing invincible hero you usually see. He has his "dim" moments and, rather than nearly all protagonists, he would rather be a follower more than a leader. It's the little things like that that sets this game apart from all the other extremely-long RPGs.

AH! I just got Dreamstone #5. Emela's the Water Gua *doesn't reveal too much plot info*!?!? So that means that I have to fi *changes mind* her to get the water cry *stops*!? NOOO!

@madscientist13 When you enter the room, look on your left for a "missing wall" Walk into this. When you are fairly close on your map to the green dot, alternate trying to walk to the right and down. You should eventually be able to continue right and come face to face with the green dot (the Trilobite Warrior) Also, if you go all the way down on this secret path, and follow it the way most people would (walking until you hit a dead end), you will find a treasure.

OK... I've spent ages trying to do this, can anyone tell me how to get to the green dot in the pitch black area of the dark temple?

Is there a REAL difference between curse and silence other than the fact you have different resistances to each one and need a different item/skill to heal it? They both block you from using any magic. Can anybody tell me?

NOoooooooo my computer crashed! I lost about 26 hours total of all 3 chapters.... I finally completed chapter 2 again in about 5 1/2 hours ... On to chapter 3!

This is sad, apparently you have to attack your old friend from Chapter 2. Except Mystery Man, who cares about that bad guy?
If Chapter 4 is ever being done, I do wonder what happens to those two. I miss them as my allies, tired of baby-sitting these new ones I have. Deugan and Sheila are alright though, I'm glad Zarc (the mercenary) is back too.

Epic game, 5/5, at the beginning don't like it, now it's one of my favourites. By the way i have just a question:
Why the movements of the citizens are so irritating? :))

"I know the only magic between you two would be to restore hit points or status, so I'm not bothered." I think that would be funny on a t-shirt.

Lol, im doing a solo run (just mardek), and im going in to chapter 3 as lvl 25, with 310 battles; 912 kills and 0 deaths :D

This game is perfect. I just finished playing the game, and it took me 346 hours and 49 minutes of playing time to finish, not counting all the time deaths, looking for help online, and planning what to do next. My favorite thing about it is that it has a lot of side quests, a good story, a lot of humor, and always at least one more reason to keep playing. I played without the music, do I can't comment on that. I found this game scrolling though the list of badges I hadn't gotten, and I stumbled upon the rat farmer badge in MARDEK 1. With nothing better to do, I tried it out. I didn't really like how short the first chapter was, and when I found out there was a second, I thought 'Let's hope it has badges.' I tried it, expecting it to be stupid. Needless to say, it was amazing. I eagerly started the third chapter two weeks later. Finishing it took about three months, but I finally finished everything there was to do. 5/5

To be honest; I hate this game.
So much characters, so much side-quest, so much equipment, Irrevelant walkthrough, lots of "mindgames" (Dreamstone 3 reminds me of Amela, I actually miss her but just because she is level 20 and equipped perfectly, unlike the others)

Hm, if you visit the fire temple after you've taken the fire crystal, if you enter the bottom left trial room, there appears to be a glitched area in the lava pool. Not sure if this is just me though.

If you travel a lot, it can be annoying to have to go through the airport a lot-even with the gold pass. Can you let us skip over it on the world map next game? Also, there seems to be a bug where part of fully explored places' maps are becoming unexplored.

Woo, Finally got the impossible achievment. I made a half complete low level solo arena guide in the mardek 3 forums if anyone is struggling.

I just experienced a major glitch -- I was fighting the Fire Crystal Guardian and when his health got below 6,000, everybody in the party took 0 damage from the fire he cast. Even the guy who absorbed fire didn't heal, just took 0. Weird.

@iamthemasta when i was re-reading DSs 1-5 , i kinda saw that Deugan hated Mardek a little but not like enemies,just being jealous.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I love Mardek RPG's, I've played both the 1st and the 2nd games - I'm waiting for it to load now... So excited! Good job, Pseudolonewolf and good luck with the 4th game! *.*

@slytht yeah definitely an epilogue, and it was epic when I read them and was like, "Holy crap! Really?" About your other comment -- we won't see Emela and Deugan in this chapter (There are only 11 unlockable characters -- Mardek, Donovan, Sharla, Sslen'ck, Gloria, Elewyn, Mereador, Verhn, Zach, Legion, and the wolf (I can't remember his name). Emela and Deugan will almost definitely be back in later chapters, I can probably guarantee that.

@iamthemasta ok, ill let the people find out themselves,but the first 5 DSs are epic,in a way, its like the epilogue of Chapter 2, if you know what i mean.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@end_of_ends Yeah I figured it out. I got dreamstone #15 right after I made that comment, and that kind of gave it away. It was pretty obvious, because you could tell. I mean who else would have a ! when they saw Mardek, and who else looked like that?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@iamthemasta, yes it is steele, notice how he looks almost exactly the same, he just has a scar over his eye and the eyepatch? (the scar was from the lightning bolt if you didnt figure it out :P)

@tarboosh From what you're saying you: 1) Hate RPG's, 2) Didn't play the first two chapters so have no idea what's going on, or 3) Are just a grouchy person. I'm guessing it's one of those three.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@slytht I think that 2 is after Moric's ship falls and Deugan is dying in the water. 3 is Emela after she goes to her "happy place" basically, the underwater temple. Also, DS 4 is Emela finding Deugan underwater and reviving him. If you played the previous chapters, you should know who is who based on what they say. Also, the game kind of gives it away if you have a good idea of who the characters are; The reason is the text glows the color of their element. If you have a good feeling it's Emela, and the text is glowing blue, then it probably is Emela, etc. However, I think that it would be best to let each person find the DS's for themselves and figure out who they are, based on the thoughts and words.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I can't stop thinking that Steele survived Emela's bolt in chapter 2 and the guy stealing the dark gem was him. He even had the same skills, just more power... I'm sure of it, almost.

ok so um guys,(and ladies,) im gonna play through the whole game,and get the dreamstones, and try to find out whos thoughts are in each stone. right now i think: ds 1 and 2:Deugan's thoughts while in moric's ship. Ds 3: Emela's Thoughts right after she hugged mardek.
