Use Fragrant Branch of Yore on the monument blocking your way.

Take another stairs and go up.

You will see a giant frog sitting in a cage.

Here you will find a few items and a giant mushroom, which you might destroy from distance.

After searching the workshop, run towards the door at the end of the corridor and open it.

You have to be very careful now, because another Yeti will attack.
