Progress through the level (heading up all stairs) until you reach a section with six skulls in a tower. When you get to the end, you should find a tombstone that contains an item which will unlock Symphony of the Night. Kill it and destroy the hanging plant nearby, probably by using a subweapon, and then jump on the new platform to traverse the section on the upper level.
