I beat the Security Demon with characters below Level 20! Yes, I intentionally failed a test as soon as I bought my first ticket. And yes, I beat it before I met Clavis at the Warport. I'm so happy like suuuuuuuper happy. My team: Lv19 Mardek with AirPendant, Speedy Juice, Morality Block, and Shield — Lv16 Sharla with Boots of Celerity, Healing Wind, Agility Boost, and Null Air Once — Lv16 Donovan with Stingstick — Lv9 Elwyen with Ballad of Balance. The tricky part was keeping Elwyen alive as the normal attack with Balance kept killing her, so I just let her stay down until everyone else had NullAir, NullDark, NullLight, Shields, and Full Health. Whenever the poison wore off, I got Donovan to use his Stingstick to activate it again. Sharla was my primary healer as she doesn't so anything after casting NullAir. I got everything set up properly when the demon's health was at 50%.

I don't see how the World's Saviours are so hard. Just have Legion learn 1000 Needles (Low-Health Happy Johnny) and Spirit Nova (Green Soul), and give him a Yellow Fairy/Speedy Juice. Then use Spirit Nova to halve the Saviour's health while the other guys try and get it below 1000. Once it's below 1000, then just use 1000 Needles and you're done. Gang up on them tho, in the other of Aalia - Bernard - Bartholio - Vennie. I killed them on the first go using this c:

Crap, I lost my save from M1 and M2... I guess I'll have to play part 1 and 2 again. But those games are awesome anyways, so it doesn't matter too much. Lol

Just great -.- my game froze during the fight with a Molester, then after I refreshed, it's stuck at 19%... sigh... and that was a game save from Chapter 1 too. (PS: If you didn't play M2 or you're as dense as Mardek, the mystery man in the Dark Temple is actually Steele and he has a weakness to lightning attacks)

HINT: If you want to train offensive or defensive skills quickly, enter an easy battle and let your characters target each other (or even themselves!) instead of enemy. You can use physical/magical shield to reduce damage.

Oh @deadlygazebo, your comment leads me to wonder:
Since you can obtain all 3 crystals with only 3 points on your warport pass, and then presumably accept Smalls' offer of fast travel back to Goznor (unless that's unavailable if you don't yet have a gold pass?), then is it possible to fight the security demon with just Mardek and Elwyen when travelling to Aeropolis to see the play? This is interesting because this is at a point where you are otherwise unable to fight any battles. Hm... maybe I'll have to play through again and deliberately use the Warport as little as possible, and then maybe I'll see...

So nearly 7 years on from when I first played this game, I've finally completed this masterpiece. Mixed feelings. Happy to have completed it, and fully experienced the game and the story, but feeling kinda sad and empty thinking, "well, this is it..." we're never going to see what was going to happen next. Kinda sad but I respect the developer's decision.

So, security asks you what color is blue to see if you're a terrorist or not... I wish it was that simple in real life.

Yknow, I think it's possible to complete the game entirely without EVER obtaining the gold warport pass. Here's how it goes:
0 points: Grab Gloria, Mareador, Elewyn, get the quest from the shaman, do the dream walking cave, take pass to other continent.
1 Point: Start fire temple, grab skull, clear up to guardian. Clear dreamwood, up to the door of earth temple, which you can't open until you get Legion. Talk to the librarian, unlock saul's dungeon. Take pass across again.
2 Points: Do water temple, unlock legion. Take path across
3 points: Do fire temple. Do earth temple. Take warp back to gonzor.
Complete game.

In case you were not aware (and trust me this is quite confusing for almost everyone including myself) priests did sometimes keep snakes as pets in certain desert civilizations, and Snakes CAN be milked for their venom which the can be used as antivenom, paint, and in some cases make up like materials. So no, not everything is a Euphemism for anything..."special". Except for that.

I must say, the collection of references both in music and in normal chat was nice. My two personal favorites were the references to Archfiend Cagnazzo (FF4!!!!) and also Sonny's personal homage. The fact that the Savior's battle theme is a blend of Golden Sun (probably unintentional) and the Fiends of the original FF (more intentional) with a fair amount of Mardek style was simply beautiful. 20/5, on par with the wit of MC, battle variety of EBF, AP system of FFTA and the plot of...uh...No equals actually without comparing it to a different medium. Tip: get Legion BEFORE completing any of the temples. All of the guardians let him get a super strong AoE move (Earthquake, Tsunami and R Inferno) and the only place is Karnos and the Bone Demon. Thunderstorm you can get from an Air temperance. Also, Pseudo, if you decide to release another game on kong you will find that the type of people playing are vastly more willing to give a game what it truly deserves- in your case, a 5.

I have done the sandflow caves then the ship and now am in the dark temple. I haven't been able to find my way out of this maze of doors for a long time. Way too long between shops and I am now out of all healing and mana restorations. I am almost out of phoenix feathers. I am doomed I fear. Lord how I miss my warp magic when underground. I need to warp back to Sslen'ck's town to restock and maybe get some weapon upgrades. :(

And here I was thinking Clavis would be the one who would become under the control of the daily Annunaki. But it turned out to be [SPOILERS].
Because they're both SPIRIT BASED BEINGS OOOOHHHH.

Very nice series of games. The one thing I would change is the very loud, very annoying buzzer that sounds when you fail to properly time the attack or defense. I would like to be able to hear the other sounds of the game without that. My neighbors can hear that epic fail buzzer even when they can't hear the rest of the game. Perhaps a shut the buzz up button in any future versions. :)

When you realize that the dreamrealm is the forth dimension and the astral-realm is the fifth dimension in real life (according to spiritual dimensions theory)

horrible graphics, dumb and impossible to play. I prefer RPGs like murlock 2 episode 1, they say there is supposed to be more episodes, but unfortunately none were released after the first

He doesn't care about what his fans want he only cares about what he want and this is not something new, if you got to Fig Hunter you will see a lot of game with potential that he abandoned just becouse he didn't like them anymore, the Pseudolonewolf that made MARDEK chapters is gone and the new one is going no where with his non-violent games also Krin the developer of Sonny is on the same path like if you agree

Run number 7 for me now. Too sad Pseudolinewolf decided to focus on non-violent mobile games... I understand his reasoning but he should consider selling the mardek idea to game developers. This way all of us hardcore fans could finish the series. Sadly I have no Idea about programming, storywise i could contribute though since this is exactly my sense of humour (Iknow that's not a compliment when it comes from a german)

@Ketos, I saw on his website that it's available as Taming Dreams but I can't find it in the iPhone app store. Have you found it? I've seen that there's a Taming Dreams on the Android store, but sadly I do not have access to an Android to play it.

@Danger_Hawk: You can buy his Mardek series rework on the Android Play or on the iPhone app store; it's under the name of "Taming Dreams". The equivalent of Chapters 1 and 2 are free - the Chapter 3 rework is $3.99.

@p98oo In order to grind for a high enough level, you need to reach a very high lvl area such as the miasmal citadel. To get there, you will have travelled quite a few times over the ocean, granting you that golden ticket. This makes the security guards unavailable.

Security guard: 'Are you a monster?'
Mardek: Rawr!
Security guard:Terrorist!!!
Turns into level fifty monster and kills entire party in one attack.
You: I THOUGH THAT WAS JUST A JOKE OPTION!!!
