If you're having difficulty between choosing the Mercenary (Zach) or the Paladin (Verhn), I found that the Paladin was much more useful. There only seem to be two weapons that are available to Zach (he starts with one, and you get one in a chest), whereas Verhn uses the same weapons as Mardek (you get two Silver Swords in chests as well). Verhn has the ability to do massive damage to both Dark and Undead, which make up a very large portion of the monsters (including the majority of bosses; hint: including the Zombie Dragon). To boot, Verhn also takes part in some of the plot conversations, so if you choose Zach, you lose a bit of the story (only a little bit :P).

game is ok bit difficult for me, you don't heal while walking around but it's like an old classic from back in the day!

@alfarno: The characters that can use the axe and polemace are in chpt.3. The axe is a standard weapon, but I'd hold onto the polemace if I were you.

There seem to be at least 2 weapon types I'm not using (and I only have the plot relevant characters- Mardek, Deugan, Emela & Vehrn). I'm almost at the end-battle (just need to board the ship) who am I missing and where are they? help!

Yes... I was in the caves playing with Deugan. And I accidentally hit Mardek and he died. I died soon too. And I laughed so hard ='D

One problem I ha with this game is the slow-paced battles, with its drawn-out attacks. This is good for reaction commands, but makes the game somewhat painful to play when you want to get a particular item from an enemy that takes forever to appear, and you have to sit through each battle that lasts about 20 seconds, when you kill them in one hit anyway. In other words, a fast-forward button for animations would be nice.

Remove Taint or even Bonestone / Vim works, too. Teach Vim to two of your heros, equip the other ones with the Bonestones and victory is ensured ;)
About the game: It sure sucks if you need it quick and dirty - but take your time to understand the controls, read the (anything but boring) dialogs and let the game become amazing instantly. You're playing a RPG here, for heaven's sake, it _needs_ a proper story and this one is really good - an enjoyable mixture of drama and a nice sense of humor.
I really, really look forward to the 4th chapter (I finished ch.3 with the exception of the solo arenas) - it's kind of a shame that you won't work on it before long, but I'll rather wait four years for a great game than one year for a mediocre piece of work.

not bad for an rpg but soooooo increeeeeeedibly sloooooooooooooooow. you get very little actual play for the time you put in

Mardek is about the best RPG that is on this site. First of all because of the intended length, but also the story, the graphics style (and fitting music. love it :) ), and of course the humour
That is not the last element which makes it great, but naming them all would be hard.
I thank you, Pseudolonewolf, the creator of Mardek, for this great gift to the players and Kongregate.

Why do people always rate a comment down because your thoughts aren't PERFECTLY like theirs. Learn to take INDIVIDUALITY you arrogant pigs.

To all idiots thinking this game is to "hard". You guys probably never played a real RPG, LEARN TO TRAIN dumbasses and stop being so lazy all the time and maybe it wouldn't be so hard.

Pseudonolewolf isn't respected at all by his creatures. He created Mardek's world and they say a kind of god called YALORT did. =/ Poor Pseudonolewolf, created a world and a nonsence called YALORT receive the glory.

I finally remembered why I gave up on this game, it's those annoying dudes at the end with the egotistical knight illiterate girl fake British thief dude and that odd guy with glasses. How they annoy me so.

It's nice to play chapter 1 and 2 before 3 to understand whats going on. And it's EVEN BETTER playing chapter 1 and 2 AFTER 3 to understand whats going on. (what is the special stone the thieves and the adventurers looked for, why does Emela know there's a underwater temple, why does she know where the water crystal is...)

how to beat moric the second time NOTE i had both silver swords for vehrn and mardek, so get them-STEP 1-use flame or lightning on an undead and kill them off and break the shield on moric and use vehrn and mardek to easily take out the rest of the undead-STEP 2-he sumons undead again and now use lightning on moric and use deugan to kill the weakest undead, and use silver swords to kill the rest. repeat this process-STEP 3-if he uses an attack spell, use deugan and mardek to kill the undead, and use the paladin to attack moric. repeat step 2-STEP 4-once emela runs out of mp, use her to attack either an undead minion with the dark element (earth rod) or attack moric (any other rod) to regain mp. then repeat this whenever you run out again, otherwise repeat step 2-STEP 5-after a while of beating him up with lightning he should use catyclysm to wipe out mardek and another party members. focus all attacks on moric until he dies then wipe out the rest of the undead.

So cool and inconvenient that Mardek hit more with a one-handed sword than his weak friend with a really heavier two-handed sword...

You know, I had 7:46 at the end when I met the zombie dragon again. I could have beaten it again in that time, and Deugan would have lived. Why couldn't I do that?

Here's a funny fact:
If a monster dies of poison, everyone in your battle party will get xp as if they killed it.
ALSO WORKS ON BOSSES! everyone gets a healthy XP boost!
Keep this alive!
(ps some bosses are imune to poisen.. so don't try poisoning them)

I love the zombie locksmiths sword. A keyblade. Square Enix be proud that a designer as awesome as Pseundolonwolf uses their weapon is used in this game.

Apocalis20, there is only one developer. FOR EVERYTHING IN THIS GAME. The music, the engine, the graphics, the plot, the dialouge. . .all from one person. Pseudolonewolf is my hero.
