Poison/Blighted water "maze" in Land of Origin

What's with the stupid area that forces you to swim through a long path of poison water? I barely managed to clear it with the movement speed increase relic, the heal faster relic, and the instant HP + SP recovery totem. Why is that stupid area so strict? I honestly don't think it would have been possible if I had done it later on when I had more HP upgrades. Having the poison water deal damage proportional to your max HP and then forcing you through long pathways of it is not fun. I hope the poison water gets significantly nerfed so that it isn't so miserable (or just change the areas that force you to swim through it).

That area’s not important, it’s just a challenge zone. All you need is fast swimming and heals that fully restore your health bar, so each one lets you tank about 9 hits. You can optimize it even more by using the item that fully restores your health, or by adding Rona’s special ability that heals you. At first, I thought it was impossible, but it was enough to just swap the bracelets for ones that boost healing abilities. I did it pretty late in the game, and after some fine-tuning, it went smoother than I expected.

It's still VERY obnoxious though. And just because the area is "not important" isn't an excuse for it to suck.

I liked the first game's version of this challenge a lot better because it was more than just swimming. In this game, it's basically just an equipment puzzle because there's not much you can do to swim optimally.

The 'faster dash' relic helps too. Finished it with a heal charge left still.
