just before the stairs to level 4 thers a door with a golden lock beside it... any ideas how to open?
I tried shoving all kinds of items inside the lock but no dice
I found the key on the ground after defeating a spider, not sure if it dropped from it or was just a coincidence. It was the last enemy on that floor though.
maybe it's random placement? Because i found it somewhere else (can't remember point of map but!) it was the place where you first have to push a big button to remove a part of wall, so when you push a smaller button you can run through a gate that closes by itself, its around the spiders. There is a longer way to the left (not that long, maybe 10 squares) and thats where i found it, the shorter way opens by removing a part of wall to the right... hop this helps ... abit
