i found out how to solve ur promblem, try going down the bridges, take u down another bridge with a room on the left, there should be a well that has a skull between its to chandlers, then if u go back to the top and interact it should open the room downwards and give u the next upgrade, man i cant believe i didnt notice this sooner (sorry for misspelling)
thanks, anyway the next thing u should do is go to the room where u found the compass then double jump on the ledge on the right, u will see a bar dash through it and continue through the passage, u will enter that house that u couldnt get in before and the missing village, in the chest contains the red hood equip in the menu and talk to the guy thats blocking the other guy with a red hood in the mountains, then u can enter inside that area he was blocking u from entering the name is spider church i think inside will be another boss and will contain the item u need to enter narrow passageways, let me know if u need any more help
