I like to share things I learn as I go. So... here goes.
To get into Scarlet's secret lair in Lornar's Pass you need to collect 50 power core component's and turn them into a power core. You get the components from the energy probes that are scattered all over several maps. If you look online (I'm using Dulfy.net) you can find the locations of the energy probes. There will be an icon on the map. Each energy probe is protected by a group of baddies. Usually 1 or 2 vets in the group. I've been farming the components for a little while. These fights can be pretty tough solo. They all kind of hang out together so it hasn't been easy to get aggro for one without attracting them all. On a few of them I've died, sometimes more than once, but managed to run back and finish the rest. I'm only up to 31 components so far. Doing this will also get you achievements for killing the defenders once you kill enough, and destroying the energy probes on 5 different maps.
You also will get a bag with 10 power core components for going into Lornar's and finding the secret lair entrance in the cave. So you only need 40 from doing the energy probes. For each probe they drop 1-3. You'll have to kill the defenders, and then destroy the probe, and then... interact with the destroyed probe to get the components.
Also note... they patched it so the energy probe will still show on the map even after it's been destroyed as long as you are still able to collect the components. So if you see one of the probes on the map it doesn't hurt to check it out. You might not have to do any fighting. You don't have to participate in the fighting or the destroying of the probe to be able to interact as long as you can still see it on the map and it still shows the little gear on the screen showing it's interactable you're good.
Back to farming I go.

Update: A little more to add. I finally got the 50 power core components and opened the secret lair. Once you open the door to the lair you don't need to collect power core components to get back in. (Thankfully... since I didn't read ahead to know that you needed the other code fragments before you could open the chests hehe).
In the lair there are 5 chests (Aether, Toxic, Molten, Scarlet & watchwork) You need to collect: 25 code fragments of each type to open each chest. These are the 3 ways you can obtain them right now:
Doing the Twisted Marionette which occurs every 2 hrs on the hour in Lornar’s Pass. There are 5 paths here in the event and each path is a random assortment of mobs. Champions usually drop these code fragment the most often and since a lot of the champions are Twisted Clockworks, you will be getting a lot of Watchwork Code Fragments.
Once you have say 25 Watchwork Code Fragment, you can combine them to turn into Watchwork Cypher and head back to Scarlet’s Secret Lair. Once you have unlocked it, you do not need another 50 Power Core Fragments for re-entry. Opening the box corresponding to the Watchwork Cypher seem to give you a couple more fragments.
If you fail the Twisted Marionette event, you get a bag of Scarlet’s Spare Keys and can pick one bag from bags containing all but Scarlet’s Lockbox Code Fragment. Each bag contains 5 code fragments.
Inside each chest is a journal fragment from Scarlet's journal. Once you have all 5 you put them together to complete the journal.
