Medeus would not remain dead for long, for a mere three years after the end of the War of Shadows, Gharnef was resurrected from his own demise and executed on a new plan to revive Medeus. By the end of the [[War of Heroes (Archanea)|War of Heroes]], Gharnef and his minions used the life force of four abducted noble maidens to resurrect Medeus at the [[Dragon's Table]], now in an even more powerful form: a true [[Shadow Dragon (class)|Shadow Dragon]]. Even as Gharnef worked to revive Medeus, the seal on the Table, long weakened by the breaking of the [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Binding Shield]], had at last begun to fade enough to allow the captive earth dragons to emerge from within its depths to serve Medeus.

Even as this happened, however, Marth had been entrusted by [[Gotoh]] with the task of restoring the Binding Shield and averting the re-emergence of the earth dragons. Having succeeded in completing the shield following the defeat of Emperor [[Hardin]], Marth traveled to the Dragon's Table to stop Medeus's resurrection. By the time Marth reached the Dragon's Table, Falchion in hand, Medeus had already been revived, with the four maidens [[Nyna]], [[Elice]], [[Maria]] and [[Lena]] surrounding him, hypnotized, in preparation to be sacrificed to him to complete the revival process. Around him, wave after wave of earth dragons emerged from the Table to confront Marth, only to be re-sealed by the Binding Shield. Despite his immense newfound power, Medeus fell for the third and final time to the might of Falchion and the Binding Shield wielded together by Marth. As he died Medeus swore that, should mankind's greed overtake it and the Binding Shield be broken again, he would rise from the dead once more. However, according to Gotoh, this death was very likely permanent and completely destroyed any chance of Medeus returning again.<ref>{{Cite|Marth, brave prince of Altea.
