Head North for Magyscar Cave.

After listening to the villagers, use the flail to break the back wall and head in. Destroy the mudman and grab the torch near the spike pit. Burn the vines in the Northern part of the room. Destroy the mudman and use the platforms in the spike pit to position Alundra to shoot the switch with the bow. A ladder will drop leading to a teleport pad. Once inside just skip the enemies and proceed through the lower East door. Continue through this room for two treasure chests containing 30 gilder and a strength tonic. Head back to the teleport pad.

Drop down, grab the torch, and use the moving platform to get to burn the vines on the other side of the room. Head through the door to destroy a mudman. Notice the platform looks like a direction pad, stand on the back edge while moving and move up or down to avoid the moving spike balls. Climb the ladder and spikes will pop up from the ground, walk past the mudman and through the door.

Puzzle solution

Destroy the mudman and stack the barrels to grab the torch to burn the vines near the ladder. Now alternate throwing the barrels up the cliff and restack to press the button which raises the spike balls. Swiftly walk under the spike balls to acquire the treasure chest containing the key.
