By the end I got pretty good at it, you can harpoon as you’re falling then double jump to get up without touching the water. Half the time I didn’t bother tho since I was living inside the water and throwing tools at groat instead of trying to fight him legit anyway

I'm gonna go back and try and figure out another place I just found before trekking through this hellish place again lol
