Nontheless shows the contrast in the sentence. So choose the opposite of he could not go any further .So soldiered on
Only once he had reached his destination means he only took rest once he eventually reached his destination Hence Sat Down the rest.
Only once he had reached his destination means he only took rest once he eventually reached his destination Hence Sat Down the rest.
