Midnight Isles, how do I leave?

[Radwar99]

I got here, I didn't know it was the DLC, I'm level 12 and haven't done the Nexus thing so every time I sleep my corruption raises. I won't be able to finish it now so I want to leave and come back later in the game but there is no exit to get back on the map outside of the cave, so how do I end the dlc?

BTW, if there's no way to leave, would it have been too much to ask to give a note to the player explaining things when trying to enter the area, like "This is the DLC, once you start, you can't leave, corruption will only raise while sleeping, etc. So click here if you want to come back later" or something like that?

Are you on the ship or one of the islands? Either way, you CAN leave.

If you're on an island, you should be able to work your way back to the original room, and there will be an icon to go back.

If you're on the ship, go down to the main deck, and about halfway along the side (starboard side, iirc), there will be an icon to go back to the cave. Once in the cave, you just walk out like normal.

I agree it's a bit counterintuitive... I didn't realize for like 12 islands that I could leave an island... but there it is.

I just found the exit icon outside on the bottom left, I couldn't see the icon on the map due to the shroud and I thought the way in that direction was blocked, my bad.

Unrelated, but later in Midnight Isles beware the islands with ageing debuff, make sure to have a backup save since it's bugged and if you hit the staggered condition its permanent if you forget to cast greater restoration-
The debuff is supposed to go away once you leave the island. So it's a little tedious casting greater restoration on everyone to make sure.
But you're not that far yet.

Oh my goodness, thank you for this! I was so frustrated because I couldn't figure out how to leave!
