Go north and reach a place with black goo. DO NOT come into any sort of contact with it, or else you will lose quite a big chunk of energy (this is also true for similar situations in the further parts of this quest). Instead, start climbing in the spot shown in the above screenshot.

After you catch onto the highest located ledge, lean back and jump back. Climb onto the upper ledge and use the rotary mechanism shown in the above screenshot. This will allow you to open a passage further and at the same time acquaint you with the premises of many puzzles in the next parts of this quest. Return downstairs and use the door to the north.

Keep going to the north. Starting with this location, you will start to encounter vengeful souls that will jump out of the bodies of angels fallen in battle. Fortunately, they are not much of a threat and have very short health bars. I recommend pulling them your way using Death Grip, or performing quick executions (the "E" key).

During your northbound march check out on a small balcony to the right where you will find a Boatman Coin. A bit further you will have to use the Death Grip to get safely to the neighbouring shelf. Enter the central location in the citadel and notice that you ca, temporarily, use the eastern passageway shown in the above screenshot (the western and the northern ones will be unlocked in later on).
