East: Avoid the traps to reach 1 Gold. Go back a bit until the chest closes again and then you can find the Savage Spirit Claw.

West: Careful, there are traps everywhere. Best go over the first, below the second and over the third column.

Take the 2 Gold and use 4 Bombs. There are 6 paths to take:
First enter the NE to reach the chest with the Cursed Skull Band.
Next pull the lever to the NW to fixate the trap infront of that chest.

To the west you can move the same blockade to reach the next ladder. Down there is the Shrine of Death (don't use it) but there is a hidden passage at the foot of the ladder to the Shrine of Armor.

The blue star marks the transferpoint back to the campfire.
Items on this map: 10 Gold
You somehow can trust the ghost telling you the exit is below him.
If you go south from that transfer point, you can gather 10 Gold and 2 Gold x2 until you see Vera (further north are 6 chests).
If you go north from that transfer point, you can reach the herb without hurting you but when you try to reach the east exit you will hurt.
Chest 1 (NW): Poison trap

Chest 3 (NE): Brute Strength Brace

If you manage to beat this Flower and survive the battle, you will earn many EXP. Your best bet is to hit it with Shield Bash before it uses its pollen and Divine Protection will help you survive.

Proceed and gather the 2 Gold. Right east of them is another hidden passage, that leads to 10 Gold and further ahead watch out for some marks on the ground and then go south (ignore the wall further west). This leads directly to the last campfire and a Torch.
When following the normal path, you will reach a Teleport Scroll and the Orichalcum.

Boss Heroes of Westvale: Bolster your defenses. Defeat the Lucius and Marsha first, as they are the healers. Dispel possible buffs with break. Poison Bomb + other Poison is really effective. When you defeat a hero, listen to their last words.
