Let's refer to this as West of crazy lady

Head west one map and you will be at the storeroom.

Loot the bags to obtain three keys: bronze, ruby, and sapphire.

Return to starting point.

Head north back to the map West of crazy lady

Kill the elementals. One of them drops a silver key.

Go west to Brenius's house again.

This time talk to Brenius. The password is basement

He gives you a rusty key.

Walk on top of the closest chest and type unlock.

Loot the chest and get the lapis lazuli key.

Get the copper key from the chest.

Continue going forward until you reach a map that looks like this.

Kill the red mold. It is on a no magic zone. So hopefully you brought a decent weapon.

Go through the passage the red mold is blocking and head west.

Use the copper key to open the door.

Go through the map and kill fire elements.

Apply ash piles. You will find a crimson key. I'm guessing an assistant got burnt to a crisp carrying it.

Head back to the map east of the starting point.

Go east again to the water map.

Use the crimson key to open the final door.

There should be a diamond key.

Return to the basement

Use the diamond key to open the second door.

The bronze key opens the chest next to the log book.

This chest gives a small amount of gold.

The silver key opens the chest in the south east corner of the room.

This chest will have the emerald and electrinum keys.

Head back to the fire lab. East, then south of the starting point

Use the electrinum key to open the last door.

Move on the crevice to enter the elemental caverns.

Elemental Caverns

There are four different crevices that you must stumble your way through.

Each crevice has a special item that will allow you to go to the next map.

It is highly recommended that you mark the entrance to all these crevices

First map is the air. You will need to find a flute in the crevice.

Second map is fire. You will need to find a pepper.

Third map is earth. You will need to find a rock.

Fourth map is water. You will need to find a tear. (I'm sure you have plenty by now but alas you need a special one)

After the water map you will see a portable hole.

Apply it. Talk to Rivor. Apply it to exit.

Pick it up

Use the emerald key to open the sewer grate.

Go to Professor Chelinde at the lab entrance and give her the portable hole.
