Following the Pillar of Skulls, he found the passage leading to the next layer of Purgatory.
Traveling between the layers of Purgatory was not particularly difficult. As long as one found the lowest point of the current layer and kept going down, one could see the highest point of the next layer. With a light jump, one might reach the next layer.
