Have I missed out? At the beginning of the game I told Newboy not to use the medallion that he found, so he uses armour. I thought that he would stand more chance of surviving the assault if he didn't rely on a medallion he found.

Hmm well nothing yet in chapter 1. In my quest log it shows the quest is completed in the prologue. I guess I can't do it then.

Do you have the medallion in your inventory ?

If you do you'll have to bring up the medallion subject into the conversation with a specific character in CH1.

yeh I have met the herbalist in the village outisde Flotsam. I can't talk about the medallion so I guess I can't do it.

Yeah, in that case i guess you can't which means you don't have it on you.
