Hello, I see this game doesn't have a huge community but I found something that might be of interest to people here. I'm doing my first playthrough of Ara Fell, and I found a spot where you can skip a big section of Eldrinor (From the point where you open the gold key door, all the way through to the Sunstone cutscene, meaning you skip 2 or 3 screens but also the second boss fight with Lord Nash). If you go to the right side of Eldrinor after you get the quest to get the two golden keys, and progress through that section up until you get to the fairy circle that takes you to the back section, there is a secret path through the trees that lets you skip getting the golden keys, as well as that entire part.
This has to be intentional, it's just a route through the trees that takes you straight to the door before the Sunstone cutscene. It's two steps down, two steps right, two steps down, and five steps left from where I start in this screenshot. 
Actually, I posted this before I went back and properly did the part I accidentally skipped -- It saves a significant amount of time, I think, because there's a lot more to this section than I thought.
Sorry for only just replying to this, but wow amazing find, just checked it out myself, it saves a ton of time, I am going to have to go for sub 2 hours now, thanks a lot for this find!
