In Episode 24 and 25 of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Ed, Ling Yao and
Envy are trapped in a sub-dimension that was created for storing everything
that Gluttony has ever swallowed.

Envy told that there's no escape, but Ed has found out something. What did he
do exactly?

As far as I can get, he did human transmutation to open the Gate of Truth and
by this, he can escape. But how is it possible? Since the sub-dimension is
separated from the actual world.

Also, why Ed didn't lose anything when he opened the Gate again? Why Envy and
Ling neither?

How Edward managed to escape from Gluttony?


Gluttony was created to be a second Gate of Truth but is only a failed copy.
Ed had the idea that because they came there through the failed gate, they
must be able to get back trough the real gate. It's just like creating a door
back to Gluttony.

To open the Gate of Truth, he used Envys Philisopher's Stone and the old parts
of the Xerxes mural to make this special human transmutation. The sacrifice
for opening the gate was a soul of the Philisopher's Stone, which thanked him
afterwards (because he freed the soul).

They didn't lose anything because Ed used the philosopher's stone. To create
copies of themselves in the real world and transfer their souls to the copy of
bodies he created. So, he had to pass through the gate of truth for deleting
his old self from gluttony. Envy and Lin must also have passed through the
original gate. Ed could have brought back his limbs that moment.
