Overview
Elemental Caves
You can reach these caves from
Cyseal West. The two caves are a puzzle. In each one you'll find a set of four pillars (#1), where each pillar will have the symbol of an element on it and a button right next to it. You should also notice a sign near the pillars. The sign will list the four elements in a certain order.
What you'll need to do is press the buttons on the pillars using the order of the elements from the sign in the opposite cave. This will cause a Level 5 Mysterious Opponent to show up in the opposite cave. Defeating the opponent will cause a hatch to appear (Exit B), which will give you access to the central treasure cave. You'll need to defeat the opponent in both caves, so you'll have two entrances into the central cave. The Mysterious Opponents won't give you any xp when they die, but they will drop some decent loot. One opponent will have a bunch of magical arrows and a
Round Pendant, while the other will have a bunch of potions and a
Square Pendant.
In the central cave, you'll come to two magical barriers (#3), one accessed via each entrance. In front of the barriers you'll find a pedestal. You'll need to put the
Round Pendant on one pedestal and the
Square Pendant on the other. If you have the pendants on the right pedestals, then they'll sparkle, and the barriers will disappear. Past the barriers you'll discover four ornate chests. Inside each chest you'll find two random items plus a skillbook or a Resurrect Scroll.
Note: The
Round Pendant and the
Square Pendant can't be sold, so you might as well leave them on the pedestals.
Tunnels
This is a small area easy to reach from
Cyseal City, where you can fight some low-level battles and mine some
Iron Ore (#2).
Ancient Tomb
You can reach this tomb via a staircase in the desecrated church in
Cyseal East. Near the entrance to the tomb you'll come to a magical barrier with a control panel in front of it (#6). To remove the barrier, you'll need to have an
Enlightened Amulet, which you'll pick up at the end of the quest
A Mysterious Murder.
At the back of the tomb, you'll have a major battle against Braccus Rex and his top lieutenants (#8). You'll need to defeat these enemies for the quests
The Undead Scourge and
The Quest for Braccus Rex. When Braccus dies, he'll drop the key for the "personal belongings" chest (#7). You'll find the key for the other chest (#9) in the Luculla Forest.
Rank Tunnel
This is the tunnel where you'll encounter the Arhu SparkMaster 5000, which is a part of two quests:
Arhu's Failed Experiment and
The Fabulous Five. You'll need to go through this tunnel to reach the western side of
Cyseal North.
Evelyn's Hideout
You'll discover Evelyn's Hideout in
Cyseal North. It's involved in the quest
A Mysterious Murder. You'll have to do a lot of fighting in the hideout, including against Evelyn at the end (#13).
Primordial Cave
This cave is your "reward" for completing the quest
The Talking Statues. In it you'll meet Bellegar -- who you might remember from Divinity II -- plus his Bellegarettes (#15). Bellegar is a shopkeeper, but when you leave the cave he'll leave too, so you should go shopping while you can. You'll meet Bellegar again later when you reach the
Phantom Forest.

7 - Braccus Rex's Personal Belongings
This chest will start out locked. Braccus (#3) will drop the key for it when he dies. Inside the chest you'll usually find four random magical items, and opening the chest will trigger a Star Stone, which will heal your party and give you some xp (and possibly unlock a portal in the
Homestead). Next to the chest you'll find a
Burning Blaze Skillbook.
8 - Braccus Rex
9 - Chest of the Source King
You'll discover a purple lock on this chest, which means to open it you'll need to find the key or you'll need to use a

Druid Dungeon in the
Phantom Forest.
