Now that we have a healing spell under our belt, we'll need to level it up as we move ahead, as the raptors as regular enemies to give you the same hard time they did before.

Volcano Path
Look around and take down Raptors and Carniflowers. The Raptors are just like the ones you fought at the beginning of the game, they're just green, that's all. There's an inn just north of the exit back to the Mammoth Graveyard, and there's also another cave to the right that acts a store. There's the swamp entrance further west, but you won't be able to go through that area just yet.
As you get closer to the volcano, you'll find another cave. If you go in, you'll be trapped by a large boulder just like the one that blocks the volcano, and you'll have to fight some Raptors in order to get out. You'll get a free Dino Skin for beating them, too.
There's also a gourd on a platform next to the volcano, but you won't be able to reach it until much later in the game.
There is a panel hidden by the underbrush that you can chop down with the ax or the spear. It's not too hard to find. Land on it, go into the cave to the left of where you land, then step on the plate. Boom. You're at the top of the volcano.
When you talk to the old man at the top of the volcano, he'll give you the Levitate spell. Go ahead and equip it for later, you'll need it.
Levitate
1 Water, 1 Mud Pepper
Unfortunately, this formula involves an ingredient you've never seen before: a Mud Pepper.
Go south on the lower-right hand corner of the volcano to head back onto the volcano path. From here, head south and back to the bottom of the path, then go east. You'll be in the swamp area.
While you're here, do yourself a favor and level Heal up. You'll definitely need it a few levels higher than it already is, since there's another boss fight at the swamp.
I ended up with my commentary about the Volcano Slopes and its involvement of Back-To-Back here:
