For the fire realm, Darchangel is right - turning the statue is the key to getting that staff. There is something you have to do in the fire lair <b>dark perspective</b>, to get the statue to turn the right coordinates.

Did an eyebrow go up at the prospect of a Darkest Truth perspective for the fire realm? If you're not sure how to get to "the dark side" in the elemental realms, you're missing an important item on the main map you have yet to pick up.

An important item you'll need to beat ANY of the elemental areas. (actually, I mentioned it in another post with the Eye of Horus)
____________

Vindene's Labyrinth (the Wind Lair) with those really spread apart symbols, you'll need the Staff of Invoke Wind and a magic ability level of 35 or greater to cross them.

It's mentioned in the manual about the "wind dash". ^_^ That little gift when you get it comes in handy a couple different places, however, what's across those spaced symbols isn't important for completing the area.

Chances are, many more answers will be revealed when you have the item that will grant you access to the dark perspectives in the elemental areas.
