Consult your map and have them head back to the tomb by flying due east until they're blocked by mountains. Land in the area above the camp near the lone statue in front of the tomb entrance. Have her stand in front of the door and press the 'L1' button to open the door, using the key she received from the Blacksmith. Save your game status before entering. It gets dark in here almost immediately. Hot Slot the torch, as she'll need it to light her way throughout the dark tomb. The eyes of the skeletons within, glow blue in the dark. She may need to fight them in the dark as the torch does zero damage. It does however set them on fire for a short while. Actually two or three hits from the torch (each one of them successive after the fire from the preceding hit has done its damage) will be enough to destroy one by employing a "run by and swing once at each skeleton" attack. Otherwise she'll be often switching from the flaming torch to her sword and fighting them in the dark, then switching back to her torch again.
Enter the tomb and smash the two barrels on the left for 9 - 94 gold. Continue to the end of the lighted area and destroy the two skeletons. A chest here holds 15 - 44 gold. Stand in front of it for a few seconds and let the two nearest skeletons come to her, where she can easily dispatch them with her melee weapon. Turn in either direction and follow the hallway to the spike traps. Wait for them to retract, then run a couple of steps through and stop (you can try having her wait here for a bit and letting the spikes take out a skeleton or two). Wait for the second set to retract, then run through and take out the skeletons in the area. Once she finds the hallway to the west, have her enter it and kill the two skeletons, then get the Goblet (808 gold) and 0 - 32 gold from one of the three barrels, one of which is explodable, in the corner. Head back out of the room and continue straight ahead to the east and down the stairs. She'll pick up the Half Mana potion sitting on the pedestal. The gate to the north is currently locked (it's where she'll exit from when leaving the tomb). Turn south and have her roll under the gate. Save your game progress. Continue down the stairs and get 7 - 20 gold from the chest, then take out the two skeletons, guarding it. The long hallway here contains four slightly luminous statues of ancient heros. The gate past the first right is locked. Continue to the east until she reaches the next passage to the right. Enter the room and kill the lone skeleton. Get the Fangs Amulet from the pedestal and the 51 - 99 gold from the nearby chests. Leave the room through the broken wall in the southwest corner. Kill the two skeletons and take the Horns Amulet in the next room. Get 19 - 106 gold from the nearby chests. Note the puzzle piece (8, South) on the left as she leaves the room. Head north back out into the hallway and turn right. Get 8 gold from the three barrels on the right. Ignore the stairway down and get 29 - 30 gold from the chest on the opposite side of the hallway.
Continue on to the north and pick up 6 gold from the two barrels in the corner, then turn to the east. Proceed down the hallway and turn right at the next hero statue and get the Talons Amulet. Get 49 - 58 gold from the chests. Head back out into the hallway and turn right again. Take another right at the fourth hero statue and get the Wings Amulet from the pedestal. Get 29 - 60 gold from the nearby chests. Now have her exit the room and go left to return the way she came and take the stairway down. There are two or three skeletons in the next room and 37 - 60 gold in the two chests. Once the skeletons are history, use the 'L1' button to place each key in its respective pedestal (the game will automatically place the correct key in the proper position, or it doesn't matter which one goes where). Have her drop down into the secret passageway, and kill the skeletons. Take the Warrior's Ashes and she'll say "There we are, ashes from a fallen warrior, now I can get out of this dismal place." Get the Half Mana potion from behind the barrel (0 - 24 gold) in the corner. Head west out of the room and go up the stairs. The passage becomes unblocked, and she can go right, and then left. Have her head upstairs, break the barrels (110 gold), then pull the lever to open the gate. Go on through, then turn right and go up the stairs. Follow the passage and take the first right, then follow the corridor until she makes it through the spike traps, and continue back out into daylight.
Head due west back toward fortress Ravenshold, then return to Surdana and buy a Mythril Long Sword from the Blacksmith. Drop off her bow there as well, and sell the torch. Take off to the southwest and return to Ravenshold through the portal and then fly due east until you see the Forgotten Tomb entrance below. Turn north and the cave entrance is just to the right of the bridge and a bit higher in the mountainside. Land on the ledge in front of the entrance and ride Arokh into it. This is the only way for Arokh to get to the Northern Tundra (i.e. he must walk through with Rynn). Save your game status when prompted to do so. Map entries for "To Ravenshold" and "The Half-Men's Mystic Barrier" are added when the new area is loaded. Search the stone ruins on the right near the exit for another puzzle clue (6, North).
