boyd:

My problem with all of this is that Tom says in CoS that he spent five 
years looking for the Chamber. So either 1) Salazar's spirit was stuck 
in there and couldn't help in the search very much (or possess Tom 
until he entered the Chamber), or 2) Salazar's spirit couldn't 
remember how to get into the Chamber.

Or 3), the theory that Salazar's spirit has been "wandering" is wrong.

What am I missing?
