There's a Potion of Life on one of the horizontal stone slabs just north of the statue. She'll have to perform a flip (hold down the 'L2' button + the push the left analog mini joystick left or right simultaneously with the 'Triagnle' button) to get her up onto the higher stones in order to obtain it. Drop back down and head over to the four sided statue. The buttons on each side need to be pushed in a certain combination in order to open yon gate. The order that the buttons must be pressed will be given in the order your compass is pointing, which is opposite from the direction that Rynn is facing. Have her push North, West twice, East, North, South twice, then North. She'll push the last button decisively and the door will open if you've had her push them in the correct order. Head for the entrance and save your game status before entering the water. Swim down and to the southwest into the underwater tunnel. Swim through the area where the plants are thickest and continue swimming to the southwest. When she reaches a ramp sloping out of the water and comes up for a well needed breather, save your game status. You can see a brighter area and a small island on which sits a treasure chest containing Clineschmidt's Blade. Save your game before entering the area. She'll say "I don't like the look of this at all!" as she sets foot on the island. Once she opens the chest and picks up the sword, four axe toting skeletons appear and move in to attack. The water surrounding the island becomes deadly poisonous at the same time, so have her avoid it. Have her perform running passes at the skeletons with the Firestrike as the fire damage it does will help to take them down. Keep her moving and avoid the water's edges. Once there's only one left, place the chest between her and it and quaff a health potion, as once it's been dealt with, four more skeletons will arise. Deal with them in a similar manner. Once all eight have been dispatched, the water returns to being just water again and the doorway she entered from is now barred.
Continue into the room to the south, where sacks containing a total of 16 - 60 gold can be obtained from the chest on the right, while the other chest contains a Life Potion. Save your game status before dropping through the square hole in the middle of the room. She'll land back in the water. Have her swim down and to the east until she reaches a wider room, which is a way stop with a breathing hole. Have her surface (use the right mini-Joy stick) so she can refill her oxygen. Save your game status, then swim north. You should be able to see the room she was just in on her left. Have her surface there and breathe. The exit is a bit further on to the north. If she and Arokh didn't take care of the Wartoks and Grull in this cave earlier, she'll need to do so now. Get a Potion of Life and 2 gold from the corpses. Find 110 gold in the barrels a crates northwest of the fire, and an Invulnerability Potion in the nearby chest. Get 40 gold from the barrels northeast of the fire, and 29 gold from the nearby chest. Head southeast and pick up 6 gold from the two Grull barring the way, then exit the cave when finished. Now would be an excellent time to try out the return Gateway to Surdana. Fly east along the river and they'll soon be back in Ravenshold.
General Dehrimon will greet them upon their arrival and thank them for opening the gate to Ravenshold and tells her now the Surdanan army can join forces with Chief Ranwulf and his men. Have her dismount and talk to the general and she'll receive the "Kill Snotmaw, the Wartok Chief and return to Dehrimon" optional quest. The blacksmith now has Plate Armor for sale, which she can buy because she should now have an experience level of 6. Repair her other weapons and buy health potions from the nearby Alchemist if neccessary. Save your game and then take off over the two trees near the Blacksmith's Shop and fly southeast along the river and finally turn south to the cave, which she couldn't enter before. Arokh will say "That cave should take us to Kragmor." when they're close. Have him land at the cave entrance and have her ride Arokh into it. This is the only way for Arokh to get to Kragmor (i.e. he must walk through with Rynn). Save when prompted and enter the cave.
