Could you be more specific? Also are you using the walkthrough on this site?

Here's an extract from the readme for the catacombs:-

=Catacombs=
"Whoa. Niiice monks... Remember your vows, now!"

The only enemies in this dungeon are axe-wielding skeletons. They're not as hard as the ones in the room you got the Earth Blade in. Three good hits from the Earth Blade and they'll go down. Note: Some of the walls here will break when you attack them. If a wall looks funny, try whacking it.

Approach the first sarcophagus to bring the skeleton out. Kill it, then head south and look around the prop skeleton for an Iron Club. The door at the end of the hall is blocked off for now. But, as you turn to leave, the wall should collapse, revealing another skeleton and a stairway down. Two more skeletons jump out at you as you make your way down the hall. Examine the alcove on the right for a treasure chest with some gold. Continue down the hall, slaying skeletons as you encounter them. After the torches go out, enter the alcove the skeleton busts out of for a Half Mana.

Grab the next Half Mana from the sarcophagus across from the one the next skeleton jumps from, then pull the lever a bit further on. This prompts another wall to collapse, with a skeleton, a Potion of Life, and a Full Mana. Continue up the stairs and the wall in front of you will break. Turn left and go through the door.

In the next room, slay the skeletons in the caskets, and then go down the stairs. SAVE. The ledge across the way will rise up, so jump and hang to get across. Resist the urge to jump down the stairs. You'll probably get hurt. The walls on either side of the next room can be broken, revealing a skeleton, a Steel Mace, and some cash. Continue on to the south. When you reach the stairs, attack the wall across from them for a skeleton and some gold. SAVE and go up the stairs.

The doors close, and you must fight 16 skeletons in the dark, five at a time. Fortunately, their eyes glow. Try jumping on top of a sarcophagus and using the Downward Slash from there. Collect the goodies from the chests, and head out of the room to the south. Slay the one in the hall, then enter the next room. 10 skeletons jump out of sarcophagi one or two at a time. Not too hard. Head west into the next room. Wait for the floor to stop collapsing, then jump across and up to the western doorway.

Continue straight for an Iron Club, some gold and potions. SAVE, then head north and down the stairs into an interior decorator's nightmare.

=BOSS: Bone Lord=

This guy has a cool flaming sword. He only has two attacks, however. A normal sword slash or combo, and an expanding ring of fire spell. He's not even that hard, really. Just keep at him. He's pretty slow and clumsy, plus he's brittle. 10-12 hits should do him in. Grab the Flamestrike that drops from his body. (15 Attack, 300 Durability, Fast, Armor Piercing, sets enemies afire, has fire-based magical attack). Now explore the two southern niches for some gold and an Invulnerability Potion (Attack the wall at one point). When you're done there, enter the northern alcove and step on the glowing metal thing. You will be teleported to the beginning of the dungeon. Head up the stairs and save at the prompt.

And the bit for the Warrior's ashes:-

=Forgotten Tomb=
=QUEST: The Ashes of a Warrior Fallen=

Remember that Grull camp where Arokh mentioned the tomb? Head back there, and land in the area above the camp. There should be a statue of a knight in front of a locked door. Open the door and SAVE.

It's dark in here. On top of that, you've got skeletal guardians and still-functional ancient traps. HotSlot your torch, equip it, and enter. The torch does no damage when you hit something, but it does set things on fire. However, it's hard killing skeletons with just a flaming stick. Of course, when you switch to your sword, the lights go out. Fortunately, the eyes of the skeletons glow in the dark. With practice, you'll be able to enter a room, gauge it with the torch, whip out your sword, smash the boneys, and switch back to the torch without missing a beat.

Enter the tomb and continue to the end of the lighted area. A chest here holds some gold. Two skeletons also approach, one from either side. Turn in either direction, search the chests (The torch works fine for breaking open barrels), and turn into the next section of tunnel. Spikes shoot from the walls here in two sets. They won't kill you instantly, but you'll definitely need a heal when they hit you. Once you pass the first set, wait. A skeleton should approach and get killed by the spikes. Continue on, kill the next few skels, and turn west. This room houses some more skels, a few barrels, and a Goblet worth 808 Gold.

Continue across the hall and down the stairs. A Half Mana sits on the next pedestal. Turn right and roll under the next grate. SAVE. Continue down the stairs and get the gold from the chest. The hallway here contains four slightly luminous hero statues. Turn right at the first one, and oops. The grate's down. Continue to the east until you reach the next one. The grate is open on this one. Kill the skeletons and grab the Fangs Amulet. Search the chests, then leave the room through the broken wall in the southwest. Take the Horns Amulet in the next room. As you leave that room, take note of the puzzle piece. (8, South) Return to the hallway and turn right.

Ignore the stairway down and continue on. Turn right at the next hero statue and take the Horns Amulet. Repeat with the Wings Amulet at the next hero statue. Now return the way you came and take the stairway down. In the next room, take care of the skeletons and chests, then use the L1 button to place each key in its respective pedestal. Now drop down the secret passageway, kill the bones, and grab the Warrior's Ashes and the Half Mana.

Head west out of the room, up the stairs, right, then left. Go up the stairs, break the barrels, and pull the lever to open the gate. Turn right, then return through the spike traps and out.

You need to go to the tombs (spelling error?) You need to go to all of the rooms that have keys in them. thre is one room that is bloked by a door. If you go to all of the rooms one of them has a hole in the wall that will lead you to the room that has a locked door on it.
Then take all of the keys and place them around the statu of a man. After all the keys are placed around the statu then it will open at the bottom. Go down in there and there should be some skeletons and the ashes of a warior fallen.
