sands of destruction - sky gaol

Ok so i have no problem defeating Rajiv (sucess after numerous game overs).. but now i think i'm kinda stuck in sky gaol. I'm rather bad at directions, spent hours walking in circles, and still end up at the same place. Could some kind soul leave a clue as to how to find the sceptre?Thanks in advance!

After defeating Rajiv, check the map.
There should be some unique icon there that symbolizes an elevator.
Go there.
