I am in a specific region (named in my comment in this thread) and despite the harsh nature of Rain World I hold so dear, I really cannot reckon with the level of difficulty I'm experiencing. Maybe I just need reassurance.
#Embarrassed by How Stuck I Am

I am in Outer Rim and I have gotten to the Platforming Hell to the middle-right (?) of the region. I lost my karma flower and my levitation ability is 5 karma only (?). I went all the way back to the beginning of the region and was able to karma farm a bit to get the levitation back, but it's a huge chore and is RACKING up cycles on my playthrough just to make one (1) attempt at the evil platforming that requires the levitation. I feel like I have GOT to be missing something, although I am well aware that this is Rain World (legal name) and it is ruthless and indifferent to my sufering... I just wanna be reassured that yes. It's this hard and I am not missing anything crucial other than skill. Skill issue???

I dont think you need levitation to leave the region

You don't. that being said it does make it a lot easier

i promise i do not have the skill to Do The Thing without it. Based on this I my leading theory is skill issue. This is worse than my arti pearl run 
this blue rat is public enemy number one

do you need specific directions on how to leave?

I will struggle for now, thanks. I'll check back in if I change my tune.

It wouldn't be rain world without rage quitting and blood pressure spikes

I think ive raged quit in just the Watcher campaign alone than the vanilla and downpour campaigns COMBINED
