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

Return to the basement

Use the diamond key to open the second door.

This chest will have the emerald and electrinum keys.

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.
