MARDEK (Video Game)	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })MARDEK is a series of online Flash Role-Playing Games developed by Tobias Cornwall of Alora Fane (then-known as Pseudolonewolf of Fig Hunter Games). They revolve around a lad named Mardek, his childhood friend Deugan, their female colleague Emela, and the magical space ghost living inside Mardek's body called Rohoph. The games take place on the planet Belfan, where magic and all that nonsense are pretty commonplace. Part of what makes up MARDEK's charm is the game's sense of humour, as almost everyone on the planet seems totally aware that it's an RPG world, and are quick to point out that most of what happens make little to no sense whatsoever. Make no mistake, though; at the center of it all is a well-written story and well-constructed world that, as the quote above demonstrates, can be rather dark at times.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series consists of three chapters, released between 2007 and 2010, with save carry-over for each game. Chapter 1 is here, Chapter 2 is here, and Chapter 3 is here. While MARDEK was initially planned to be eight chapters long, development did not continue past the third chapter, and the series in its original form is officially cancelled. However, Cornwall has released the existing chapters in a compiled form on Steam for preservation due to the discontinuation of Flash.Since its cancellation, two Continuity Reboots have been started by Cornwall, which aim to adapt the characters and plotline into a new world with more depth. The first is Taming Dreams, an Episodic Game released in 2015 that was discontinued early on. The second is Divine Dreams, a 3D re-imagining that is in development as of 2020.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Has a character sheet. Please put character-specific examples there.

Vehrn's take on it? Throughout the chapter, your gang collects some of the elemental crystals and Gloria comments how removing them from the temples will have a disastrous effects on the planet. Cue everyone talking about how they'll be careful and return them right away...

Granted, this is probably influenced by Rohoph's extreme paranoia caused by his own corruption from the violet crystal.

You have to actually find the person/hear about the item in order for the full article to be added to the Encyclopaedia, though. Lots of background information that is not automatically written into the in-game Encyclopaedia can be found in bookcases in-game (which obviously includes the libraries). Much of it was also present on Cornwall's website before it was remade, though some of it is included in supplementary material for the Steam re-release.

Deugan starts out stronger than Mardek who is The Medic and Emela who on top of not being able to take hits, has limited MP and originally can only cast a few spells. However, Emela starts more gaining spells and Mardek learns Quarry: Undead (in a game where zombies are the strongest monsters) and they start outclassing Deugan. The game still remains balanced mostly because it's so short.

Consider that the Meraeador was an adult while Mardek was a kid, and Mardek grew up for a few years in between Chapters 1 and 2 when he met Gloria, who was a child then. Sure, Gloria's a shaman, so age means nothing to her, but still. Mereador actually comments on this on one of his backstory party talks. Unfortunately, Mardek also says that it's okay for a 10-year-old kid to love an old woman, as he's a little off when it comes to reality.

MARDEK (Video Game) / int_2b9affed	comment	Dirty Business: The entire series is about Rohoph destroying his former friends. Chapter 3 shows that Moric's death has caused a lot of social unrest on their homeworld due to the Governance de Magi's loss of their zombie army and sees Rohoph blatantly lie to Qualna about letting his soul go free once defeated. Upon complaining about this, Mardek promptly gets cut off from the control of his own body to silence him. It's pretty evident by then that Rohoph wasn't quite as unaffected by the violet crystal as he himself believes. By the end of Chapter 3, Rohoph actively sabotages Mardek's friendship with Elwyen to prevent him from growing attached to anybody which could distract him from "their" goal.

In a desperate attempt to save themselves, they use their magic to seperate its spirit from its body, hoping it would just stop moving or something to that effect; all that did was made the monster even more destructive and prone to rampaging than before. Not only that, but you find out by reading the encyclopedia by defeating its soul next that had its trapped soul been left alone long enough, it could have eventually formed a new body anyways, repeating the process.

MARDEK (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: Where to begin? Well, first you have to fight your own king. Who afterwards promptly dies. Oops. And did we mention that he's actually the father of one of your party members? Then it turns out Qualna wasn't even trying to get you to kill the king, and this is exactly the example he was trying to create to show Rohoph that he's gone off the deep end, and to get him to rejoin the Governance de Magi peacefully. (Although most of the Magi have gone off that end too.) Rohoph promptly kills Qualna too and seals his soul so he can no longer escape after telling her that he wouldn't. Mardek and Elwyen go to a play afterwards to lighten the mood, until Rohoph forces her away, to Mardek's disdain and anger. So now King Gonoroth and probably the most friendly of the Governance de Magi are dead, and Rohoph wants Mardek to have no more friends to become attached to. Yeah. At least Lone Wolf (Deugan) finally talks to Mardek's face, although he doesn't reveal who he is. Approaches Downer Ending when you realize that Qualna was lying about wanting to use the Violet Crystal for good, but only because the other Governors were watching - he was trying to sneak Rohoph back to their planet in order to help him destroy the Crystal. And it turns out that Rohoph had been corrupted by the Crystal from the start into becoming a paranoid Knight Templar, and he no longer has qualms about forcibly taking over Mardek's body at times. Oh, and the world is slowly dying thanks to the crystals being removed from their temples, and Rohoph's presence might be slowly killing Mardek. Absolutely nothing you did in this chapter has accomplished anything good. Downer status further solidified by a lot of things that seem minor in Chapter 3 but would have come back to bite the good guys in the ass in later chapters: Steele/"The Mysterious Man" still has the dark crystal; Blatantly Evil Chancellor had control of Xantusia while Ss'lenck was away; you gave a fragment or relative of the Violet Crystal to Vudu, the probably already evil high priest of YALORT; and oh yeah, there's this volcano which could wipe out most of the life on Belfan if it erupted, and the next Magus coming after you is the pyromancer of the group. Really, the only good things that you did in this game were making your party members feel good about themselves by listening to them talk about their problems, and driving away Saul and Muriance (probably temporarily). Well, and destroying the Annihilator, if you did that.

Luckily, in Chapter 3, there's an obscure shop in Acropolis that sells all the Trilobite keys if you missed any of them. The Zombie Locksmith mini-boss can drop a Keyblade, a unique sword that's strong for that point of the game (though it doesn't have any skills attached). The Locksmith only drops the Keyblade at a 50% chance, so there's only one chance to get it. The Steam release edits the drop rate to 100% so that it can't be missed. The Gem Mine and Goznor Sewers/Catacombs are only open in this chapter, so their unique enemies and equips can be lost if not obtained before the ending. Moric's battleship is also just a one-time visit, but only contains standard chests and some unique enemies.

The trade quest to get a Bonus Boss and Sslen'ck's best axe nearly requires a walkthrough unless you pay close attention to minor dialogue. Opening the Lost Monastery, which requires you to have two characters in your party, one of whom it isn't immediately obvious is connected to the place, and who requires you to recruit several other party members with their own semi-obscure requirements. The Water Temple, but not because its puzzle is all that difficult (it just requires a lot of walking) — the official guide is wrong. There are a few steps that are completely left out of the guide.

There are the typical Heal, Cure/Clear (one boss even has spells that named this, though they heal instead), Haste, Regen, stat boosters, and damage reducers (Shield, M Shield). Then there are the more unusual status buffs, such as Barkskin (basically a DEF raiser), Aero and Pyro Shell (which are Reflect, but only for one specific element), the Nulls (completely blocks one attack of its element), and Astral Form, which increases and decreases resistances to various elements. With all of the unusual status buffs, only one character has access to them. It should be noted that Berserk counts as a "Status Buff", even though enemies can inflict it themselves.

MARDEK (Video Game) / int_7fbb2a3	type	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
MARDEK (Video Game) / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Two examples. The first one, which makes up the two optional boss battles, involves a starfish alien Eldritch Abomination that lands on Belfan and starts annihilating (thus its name) and begins wiping out the first civilization before humans came to power. In a desperate attempt to save themselves, they use their magic to seperate its spirit from its body, hoping it would just stop moving or something to that effect; all that did was made the monster even more destructive and prone to rampaging than before. Not only that, but you find out by reading the encyclopedia by defeating its soul next that had its trapped soul been left alone long enough, it could have eventually formed a new body anyways, repeating the process. The other example is after defeating the final boss of the chapter turns out that Qualna was actually the least affected by the Violet Crystal, merely acting like it affected him like the others in order to not be run off just like Rohoph. Not only is he aware that the Violet Crystal has, slightly, affected him somewhat and he wants to destroy it just like Rohoph wanted to, helping him no less, but he's aware that the Violet Crystal has greatly affected Rohoph just as much as the other Governance de Magi. While he wanted to help Moric in the last chapter, Rohoph is in his Knight Templar mode and simply wants to kill off Qualna because he's supposedly evil too. And, even after giving his word that he would let Qualna go to the afterlife afer his death, Rohoph still seals his soul in a crystal. You find out from the dreamstone he drops that he was genuine in his desire to help Rohoph and destroy the Violet Crystal, which means Rohoph just sealed a harmless, innocent person and the only member of his race that wanted to help him.

MARDEK (Video Game) / int_812ee32b	comment	Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: Due to the elemental weaknesses, healing and buff abilities and ability for magic to target multiple people, your spellcasters will become the most useful party members despite many starting out as a Squishy Wizard. In Chapter 2, this is done with Deugan, Mardek and Emela. Deugan starts out stronger than Mardek who is The Medic and Emela who on top of not being able to take hits, has limited MP and originally can only cast a few spells. However, Emela starts more gaining spells and Mardek learns Quarry: Undead (in a game where zombies are the strongest monsters) and they start outclassing Deugan. The game still remains balanced mostly because it's so short. In Chapter 3, Sslen'ck joins your party and his powerful hits help you get through the early parts of the game. However, spellcasters like Solaar, Gloria, Legion and Elwyen will eventually overstrip him. This is even true with Donovan and Sharla. Donovan is stronger and more offensive but Sharla gains healing and buff abilities that make her the more useful of the two. Mardek is a Magic Knight and gets the benefits of both. Zach has an ability that subverts this. His Sinstrike does damage based on how many people he's killed. Use it enough and he can one shot bosses.

However, its bones became brittle and vulnerable in the many years it's been sealed, so it is quite killable by the time you show up. The two above are marked by a red-and-gold chest, so if you die to these (particularly the Bone Demon, who has a save point right before it) without saving, it is your fault. However, one chest early on with a mini-bonus boss (a Griffon) is unmarked, except for the save crystal nearby and its obvious placement in the middle of the path. All others contain the local enemies. Most are worth looting, however.

In Chapter 3, one of the items required to recruit Legion is a Wretched Soul, which you can get by freeing an evil spellcaster from a Soul Cage that the Old Hermit had trapped him in. The Old Hermit, formerly the Shaman of the volcano, had actually gone mad with guilt over trapping the evil spellcaster in this state. The Lost Monastery. The priests there were driven to insanity by an object that is eerily similar to the Violet Crystal, but that's not the worst of it. After they'd died, they weren't allowed to continue on to the afterlife, and were instead bound to the monastery as zombies. Even after their flesh rotted to nothing, their souls were still bound there as insane, disfigured globs of ectoplasm.

Not only is he aware that the Violet Crystal has, slightly, affected him somewhat and he wants to destroy it just like Rohoph wanted to, helping him no less, but he's aware that the Violet Crystal has greatly affected Rohoph just as much as the other Governance de Magi. While he wanted to help Moric in the last chapter, Rohoph is in his Knight Templar mode and simply wants to kill off Qualna because he's supposedly evil too. And, even after giving his word that he would let Qualna go to the afterlife afer his death, Rohoph still seals his soul in a crystal. You find out from the dreamstone he drops that he was genuine in his desire to help Rohoph and destroy the Violet Crystal, which means Rohoph just sealed a harmless, innocent person and the only member of his race that wanted to help him.

And not only can you defeat its body, but its soul as well. Just to put this in perspective, a book you can read within the Lizard Tribe village states that said alien monstrosity had its body and soul seperated by an ancient race to stop its path of destruction. Sadly, both the body and soul merely went on destruction sprees of their own, giving the race two deadly enemies to face. They managed to seal both parts of the monster away, but didn't quite make it through afterwards.

King Gonoroth's death wasn't even part of his plan; he was hoping Rohoph would get the message before it came to a fight, but that turned out not to be the case. Made even worse by the fact that his Dreamstone reveals that his true goal was to bring Rohoph back so they might destroy the Violet Crystal together. The reason he couldn't tell him outright was because the rest of the Governance was monitoring him. Had Rohoph tried harder to understand his subtle hints, things might have gone differently, but then again...

MARDEK (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac	type	Theme Naming
MARDEK (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac	comment	Theme Naming: Three members of the Governance de Magi are named Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar, after the (legendary, non-Biblical) names of the three magi that gave gifts to the Baby Jesus. The apparent leader is named Anu, the Mesopotamian god of the sky. It's also possible that these characters may be a Shout-Out to Chrono Trigger.

MARDEK (Video Game) / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
MARDEK (Video Game) / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Early on, Emela asks Vehrn, a headstrong paladin, just how he expects YALORT to assist him in battle. She jokingly asks if he expects YALORT to send down "green lightning". The paladin is offended, considering the statement blasphemy, and says that he'll simply send him support. After driving out the zombies from Goznor, the priest rewards you with an amulet that teaches Vehrn the ability to do just that. It's even titled "Green Lightning". When you first enter the zombie-infested Goznor, the priest will give you the key into the catacombs under the town. Deugan, in his role as designated lampshade-hanger, asks how the zombies got out to terrorize the town if the door is still locked, and is promptly told to shut up. Halfway through the catacombs, you fight a zombie locksmith.
