Stuck in Chapter 3 - Third shell tower

[Hurricane]

I'm working through "The War" and I'm left with one tower left to climb and I'm stuck. I'll note that I'm playing on PS4, but since Windbound basically doesn't have a community/forum at all this is the only place to ask. There's a reddit for Windbound, but they've locked it down completely for some reason.

This is the shell tower at the bottom left (middle?), or here on the map: https://i.imgur.com/ChA45vX.jpg

I climb the tower and I end up on a plateau with no further way of climbing ( https://i.imgur.com/43efFBo.jpg ) . There's a path that loops around but nothing leading further up. I've killed plenty of forsaken, I've killed the gorehorn, I've looked for any kind of gong to ring... nothing. I have no idea where to go!

Anyone have any suggestions?

Maps are random generated. Every time you die (survival) or start a new game, it's a new map.

About the tower, sometimes you have to work some puzzle, like kill a specific monster or hit those gongos with a rock/arrow.

Well, that's aggravating. I've searched all over for a gong, killed everything that I could find to kill...

I think I'll just have to trash this playthrough. Thanks for helping me avoid bashing my face against thus further. :)

I still didn't passed the chapter 3 (I always die). When I finally manage to stay alive and complete it, I tell you what was the puzzle.

I finally went back to playing and found a gongo underwater to activate a pillar. Plus I discovered that you can "mine" a path through some blocked paths.

hmm, how did you get underwater? There are those strange lights coming out of the water, as well at the floating kelp, but I've yet to figure out how to interact with either.

I didn't, but you can hit it with your weapons.

As for the lights, there is a blessing which allows you to dive to collect shards from it.

I found on set of pillars with a narrow section at the end of the first. The implication is that you need the kite sail to make the jump. This set of pillars is optional. There are some pillars that you have to mine to progress and others that have a hidden gong to shoot.

I climbed on the rocks to find that gong then shot at it with a rock. BAM. steps appeared. I'd upload a picture but don't know how
