Hi,
I've played the Vale a few times, and have had trouble myself even after I had all the keys, and the Holy Symbol of Myrkul, or whatever. The key that opens the lock on the column is in a passageway lined with burial vaults, right of the main room, or rather in a chamber north of the passage (chamber is filled with Zombies) and then to the west is a chest. I found that I still couldn't open the lock until I went to a more southern passage and fought monsters there, where I found the Black Wolf Talisman. If you haven't found that area with the Talisman, go back and check. Hope this helps.
