You HAVE to take the teleport there however, either it contained another magic card or some other important item, I don't remember clearly. At this point I didn't have the MELAS medal with me and even worse, after reloading from the last sanctuary it turns out I had used it too many times already. Of course I didn't know this beforehand, how should anyone expect this?!. I thought, OK just go to MELAS and get the thing there as usual. Man was I infuriated to see the damn thing never turn up again and reading online that it had limited uses. And without any further backups that really was it for me. After a week's hiatus I found enough motivation to start the game all over but was not ashamed to look in a walkthrough now to see if there were other possible walking dead situations.fireballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094871771537115267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-57286420548110257492012-11-15T11:29:01.971-05:002012-11-15T11:29:01.971-05:00Yeah, not a bargain at all!
