As a condition of the event appearing, I don't know if it is possible, but you can halfway do it by having key items given to the player also turn on switches.
But you can use conditions in the event itself for how it interacts. For instance, you can have a condition look for one item, then if it isn't there look for another, etc. If the item is there, have it jump to the right part and if not, have it jump to another.

Depends on how you get these two items. If it's scripted, like, you get two items in a fixed location, then it is as easy as just to flip the switch when you have those two items.

there are a number of options. some of them are mentioned above, but you could also use a control variable command to get the inventory count, and then use conditional branch to abort the event if not enough items are present.
In such a case the event would be triggered with only one item present, but it would abort its commands if the second item is missing.

I'm still kinda learning with the program but I'm not familiar with the control variable commands and branches well. How do I do that or go from here?

In that case, I strongly urge you to pause and have a look at Andar's compilation of info for new users. Among the many useful things there, there is a playable tutorial on Event Commands, including conditional branches, and another playable tutorial on variables. Being interactive, you learn a lot more, and more quickly, than just reading or watching a video. As a bonus, you can open them up in your Editor and see how everything was done. Events and switches are the foundation of any game, and you need a solid grasp of them. Spending a bit of time on this now will save you a huge amount of time and frustration in the future.
