In the town of Mideel, before the Lifestream explodes, you might be wondering about that locked door at the back of the Wepons Shop. In order to find out the real deal, head over to the house with the old man standing out front. Search the area directly behind him and you should hear a clicking noise. Examine the area with the clicking noise and you'll find an Old Key. Use the key on the locked door and the key will crumble, revealing the door to be nothing but a painted image! For your troubles, fess up to the owner and you will receive a novelty item, the Cursed Ring.
