Much spoiler info to follow....(almost as good as the stuff provided by jared)
Will start in order of things ya will find /need
the crank ya need to do the handbridge is in a chest back towards the beginning of the cave ; just jump in the water & get pushed back you'll run smack into the chest.
swimming is a pain in the neck ; i dont knof if its a bug or what but i found that with a lil effort ya can walk on the walls ; as yer trying to swim point yer mouse up the wall as if ya were trying to climb a ladder
crystals .... there are 3 of them ...
i'll do my best to remember where they all are ;
1st one is in chest by some tarantula larva & a charred corpse in the area before ya see kol the heretic
2nd one in chest behind stones (the chest you can see up top behind the fall if ya look up & to the left)
3rd one in a chest in the area after ya beat the tarantula queen
I'll tell ya where to use crystals later...
somethign else that screwed me up ; was a bug or something.. the 1st time i crossed the bridge to run into the stones i didn't have the waterfall effect on both sides... anyway to get down there after ya have the crank face to yer left (as your facing monitor) & just drop down i landed on solid ground & believe this is what someone else was referrring to earlier.
After ya talk with hepheastus look around his area & take his elevator contraption up to the pool area.
In the pool area toast the eels & take a deep breath ; dive down & around to find the earth oracle who'll give ya what ya need to move the stones. Resurface & then swim across the pool to come to the lava room.
I used the same trick i did in swimming to get across here safely as well...
to start with you'll take a lil lava damage just beat feet over to the wall & walk up it and make yer way across..
Last but not least I'll tell ya where to use the crystals after ya have all three.
Make yer way back to hepheastus ; jump on the elevator again and you'll find a room with a half dozen or so spores waiting to rough ya up ; ya can fight them or haul but up the ramp to the great door ; use the crystals on the insignia there & then the door to erathsmedor will open up.
Talk with erathsmedor & then go get the mavin.
