@Charlie351: Depends on what you do afterwords. If you save while you're holding it, it'll crash. I haven't experimented enough to see what it does in different situations, though, although I have used it for extra Oxyales.

@ArusDaryl: Assuming Windows, go to "%appdata%" in your file system (on another system, it'll be somewhere else). Look through it for the Mardek files (they'll be a few folders in, in "chat.kongregate.com"). Copy those files to your other system, and put them in the same place you got them from.

A trick, exploiting a bug: Go to an inventory, or a save crystal with item storage. Exit with Z, but before the screen entirely disappears, pick up an item. Congratulations, you now have an item in your hand outside the item screen. Use it on the Gonzor Shaman to get even more Oxyales, or for other things if you feel like it.
Also, another under-used fact: if you have a spell that says "target(s)" in the description, you can press left/right (left on your enemies, right on your party) to use it on the entire party/group of enemies. Spells will cost twice as much mana and deal half as much damage, but still nice for taking out the stupid bats or for Mardek healing your entire party if you haven't taken much damage.

@Enerael Yeah, Requiem basically turns all undead into walking XP bombs. I used to think that Elwyen was really lame the last time I played this game, but given I gave up after messing up the water temple up with Zach and the 'mancers in tow, I didn't really give her much of a chance to shine :P

god i love Elwyen. In the necromancers lair she gains music that does about 130 dmg UNTYPED!!! goodbye pixies and the likes :) (and no mana cost!)

Killing security demon is easy. Just get one or more Noxious bombs, save, and fight/load until you confuse him (it isn't hard), at which point he is likely to use Death and oneshot kill himself.
Enjoy the exp :)

@yippee12: sure my goal is to get the Impossible Badge too, not only for the Badge, but also to 100% the Game :) ---
@Onslow: that was my first idea farming the fangs on this place with higher encounter and a 25% drop rate (with item) but to enter the Dreamshrine, we need 16 Dreamstones and you get 2 of them if you bring back the 5 Fairys. --- I still lvling the whole party for every solo Arena fight and want to use the Fairys for a better chance with haste and regen.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
When you arrive at the Dreamshrine, it's a good place to farm monster fangs. But do it before you beat the boss (Animus) as the drop rate decreases after beating him.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Which is also why you should grab the Miasmal Chalice before completing the area, so that you don't have to deal with decreased encounter rate(That is, if you plan on 100%ing the game for the impossible badge)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Mr_Undead That's the idea. The encounter rate decreases because theoretically you've removed the source of magical power in the area, so the area becomes lifeless, or something to that effect. At least that's what I interpreted from what Clavis says to you after getting the Water Crystal.

is it just me or are the enemy encounter get reduced after getting a Crystal? I try atm farming some Monster Fangs for Legions 3. Weapon, but after 50 Encounter in the Dark Temple i see only 1 Monster what can drop the Fangs. Even with the 5% more loot chance i have only a 15% chance to get 1 Fang and i need 8.
Not sure how hard you should grind in a RPG, but this is the only place i can get the Fangs.

You don't have soulstrike equipped? It allows you to change the attack's element depending on if you get the reaction or not, thereby controlling your attack's element even if berserked. Also, his best weapon is fire elemental.

I feek screwed... Sslene'ck is alone in the arena fighting against a happy johny. He is in the Berserk state so i can't control him and wields a light axe so his attacks heal the enemy. However, he also has the regen status and the enemy doesnt deal enough damage to kill him.
Nice, infinite loop...

Anyone ever answer the Warport security questions wrong? It's really too bad you can't "battle them" later when you grow up to level 50. Next time around, I think I'll grind a long time in chapter 2 and come into chapter 3 at like level 40 to grind the rest of the way to level 50. Then it'll be real fun with those security questions.

now i know why i had so much problems in the Fire Temple... i tried to beat the Temple before the Water and Earth one^^
And now i know what you mean with "Legion".

@Mr Undead, I don't know your set of skills, but what I have done is similar to Dalamite's game plan. What I have done is replenish my health and mana via potions and skills, as for fighting I targeted the healer first, then I used Legion's poison attack on Bernard(while having mortality block), then I threw a noxious bomb at Bartholio (he was asleep the whole battle and taking poison damage), once he was sleeping I quickly targeted Bernard, I used Mardek's champion sword for light damage(switched before the fight) while constantly having mortality block and from there I just killed Vennie with fire slash and eventually poison managed to lower Bartholio enough to kill him in 4 turns.
In this battle I used the haste fairy on Mardek, which you get from the secret bandit shop.

@Mr Undead, I know, it's annoying, but doable, first of all, get their healer down first NO MATTER THE COST, unless you somehow achieved Legion's shieldbreaker ability you're deadman, after the healer, take down Bartholio or else he'll go berserk and take you down fast. Try to either Syphon bernard or boost your own team's magic defence so you can properly phocus on Vennie(Keep remedies at hand). Most dangerous is Bernard's 'Heh' or 'Meh' reactions, try to take him down with alchemist's fire, really cold water, liquid lightning or bottles 'o acid.
That is all.

what the...!? after beating the hard Fire Temple Boss, you cant save and must fight vs the (realy stronger) other World Saver Team?
I think i must leveling and learning more resist skills. I still miss Deugan with his Shield Breaker Skill :,(

Always when I play a time-consuming game, I have the Shared Object folder placed on my desktop. And when I have played for a while, I open the Shared Object folder and copy the folder in there (that is where my saved game file is) to my desktop, so that I always have a fresh backup of my latest progress. If you have played for several days, it is SO frustrating if you lose your saved files, so to be on the safe side it’s a good thing having a copy of your saved game.

"ErikRodhi: it saved my game until i was level 30 with Mardek, but then something weird happened and bam, all my progress gone"
How to not to lose a saved game:
Go to, on Windows XP c:\documents and settings\username\application data\macromedia\flash player\#sharedobjects,
and on Windows Vista/7 C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects.
Open SharedObjects and copy the folder you find there to the desktop. Do it regularly.
If you have lost your saved game, just copy the folder on the desktop and put it in the SharedObject folder. Your saved game is back.

Where's the Dreamstone#1 in my inventory after I turned in the Sidequest Priest quest. I got the Solakian Amulet and it says I got the Dreamstone#1 but I can't find it anywhere.

So I imported in with Mardek at level 19 and my two new allies start at level 10....just ended up making Mardek take hits while the two mages just stabbed him with spears. They get more XP from hitting Mardek than they do the lower level monsters. Just grind until the two mages get up a few levels to get a little stronger. Leave one enemy alone to stay in battle mode.

Onslow what about the Zombie Dragon in Chapter 2? That fight was a pain in the a$$ lvl 27 and it make the final 2 bosses a piece of cake. My only hope for chapter 4 is that me find Emela I miss have a mage that learns all types of magic...
