Through the columns

[claudio.spano]

How do I get through those columns that have those purple balls behind them?

Do you mean the glowy black-hole-looking purple balls that are usually inaccessible behind columns? If so, then there's an ability later on that'll help you out.

As Captain Obvious has mentioned, it sounds like you've encountered the Void Gates!

I'll mark these as a spoiler, but first you need to get the Void Anchor. Then, when you start to move upwards and can see the red sky behind you, you want to go right and drop into the ship. You need to beat the boss on the ship in order to receive the power that allows you to use the Void Gates.
