Upon entering the new large area, take care of the closest Stingers and then destroy their nest. When it's done, bash the nearby objects to find a Boatman Coin.
Look around the area closely. In the north-western part of it there are interactive edges and vertical beams, as illustrated above. Move your way up to get to a balcony at the top. Start off by looting the chest on the right.
There is a simple puzzle to solve here. Have Death stand on any pressure plate (screenshot 1) and activate Soul Splitter. Send the first half of the soul over to the other pressure plate (screenshot 2). Switch to the second soul and loot a previously unreachable chest.
Go back down and take a look at the south-western part of the area - you should find an interactive handhold, pictured on the screen. Use Death Grip, naturally. When you're on the shelf, use a shadowbomb to destroy the yellow crystals blocking access to a Book of the Dead page ([The Book of the Dead] side quest).
