The first door that needs three keys, One is down to the left, blow the door with a bomb get key#1 off the top of the little tower. Key#2 and Key#3 are over at right. (when you enter this chapter you are looking down on a bomb. One of the keys is down to the right from the bomb. Get multiple bombs from that jump pad and open the doors, kill the spiders, kill the theif, etc. The two keys are down with those spiders. In the DARK area there is a passage with LOTS of spider spawners. Kill those and get the bomb. You will need multiple bombs. Use those to open the doors and kill big spiders. There is a sliding candelabra that will move when you push it, I recommend moving it to a spot near the door needing two keys. That will help you "find your way back". Two of the keys are held by BIG HONKING spiders. One is in the dark, one is just before you get to the dark. Kill the big spider on top of the steps to get a key to open the gate, use the bomb to open the next wall. Those keys glow, so if you systematically explore the dark area you fill find them. A good technique to use when exploring any maze is to either stick to the left hand wall or the right hand wall. Follow that wall religiously and you will make the entire circuit of the maze. The theory works EXCEPT when the maze has a central area that is NOT connect to the outer walls. If you suspect that is the case, find a wall on the central area and FOLLOW IT around the INNER Circuit. If you still cannot find the key, go get a candelabra to provide light so you can see a little better. It is a pain pushing those things around, but you just MIGHT be able to see something you missed otherwise. Like everything else in Skylanders, kill the bad guys first, then make a THOROUGH SYSTEMATIC SEARCH. Many MANY times you will miss some treasure, scroll, or gem, simply because you get caught up moving further into the adventure and do NOT stop and take the time to do a thorough search. Took me a while to finally learn that lesson.

I believe ONE of the keys needed is behind a wall you must blow up. Get a bomb in the narrow hall across from the room needing two keys. You will have to kill a BUNCH of spiders and spider spawners to get the bomb. Blow the wall and the key is inside. Grab another bomb, the other key is in the RIGHT path of the fork. You don't need the bomb for the KEY, but you will for the wall with the Treasure chest behind it.

On one of the later levels, some of the keys are held by Giant spiders, which you must KILL in order to get the key.
