Did the cavern wall open to the west when you spoke to the middle Oracle? If not, keep talking to her - use the word "destiny" while wearing Nivius' Ring.
Once you're through the caves swim down the river until you reach the second dock (the first dock leads to Ishad N'ha). Follow the path to the front entrance of the Serpent Temple, talk to Kol and get the key from him, then follow the paths past the temple entrance and search for the rear entrance.
Good luck.
