How can I get Meche to come with me?
  • 1 of 9: She won't come with you until you prove that you're safe.
  • 2 of 9: You have to give her your gun.
  • 3 of 9: Don't have a gun?  Too bad.  You'll just have to find one.
  • 4 of 9: Who seems to know more about acquiring items than anyone else here?
  • 5 of 9: Talk to Chepito.
  • 6 of 9: You need to offer him something valuable to get a gun.
  • 7 of 9: If you talk to him, you'll find out that hosiery is highly valued here.
  • 8 of 9: See if Meche will give up her stockings.
  • 9 of 9: Take them and trade them with Chepito for his gun.  You can now give the gun to Meche, and she'll agree to come with you ... well, sort of.
