Go to the pagoda atop the peak
You have a long climb ahead of yourself. Glide to the mountain in the south-west of Serpent Marsh. You must climb to the very top of it. This objective autocompletes when you get near the top.
Go through the Jijeong Temple Pagoda to enter the Abyss
Enter the temple on top of the mountain and interact with the Abyss Gate. Only one side of the temple will be open.
Achieve enlightenment / Meditate on the platform
Upon arriving in the abyss you will automatically activate a fast travel point. You don’t need to repair the Abyss to advance the quest. Just go forward, in the flooded cave take the right path, go upstairs to the top of the area to get a cutscene. This cutscene will finish the questline, a boy tells you to basically keep doing what you’re doing and not overthink it.
Optionally, if you want to repair the Abyss, also check out the Ascetic’s Rest Puzzle Solution.
