The comments on meltdown confused me when coupled with the comments about golems, since golems do not do meltdown. I thought one or another of the data bits was incorrect. Just to clarify things:
Golems (NM and regular): meltdown X
Mission NMs are Golems and thus never meltdown.
Dolls (Cursed Puppets in Ro'Maeve): meltdown O
There might be dolls near some of the ???.
I didn't have to clear anything, but that could just have been lucky positioning (E-9). Trivial solo kill for 75 thf/nin. Killed one, other depopped, checked ???, got key item.
EDIT: Just tried to hand in key-item, but since I'm also on PM5-2 at present, I got Cid's "Uh, why aren't you out in Pso'Xja!?" speech. If this happens to you, keep on clicking Cid. Around the 3rd or 4th time you try to talk to him (no zoning needed, just click him), he'll run out of ways to say "go to Pso'Xja!" and let you finish Bastok 7-1.
