The Special Elemental Crystals at the tower and missing person quest

[asuragame]

Is it unavoidable to lose a crystal? Is it possible to prevent this from happening? Also I cant find Contanze or whatever her name is.

No. A crystal must be used to open the door and continue the game. At this point in development, there is only the Fire available. Upon further development, I am sure there will be a way to switch which crystal was used for players already past this point.

As for Constanze,

Spoiler

There is a bandits hideout a short ways East and North of Kingsbridge. Explore the dungeon and you come to two cells, one of which holds Constanze.
