Stuck in the Ancient Basin with bad platforming skills

[hACk3rcAT]

I know this question has been asked before and probably done before, but I'm honestly stuck on trying to get out of Ancient Basin. I got down there after beating the Dung Defender and thought I was progressing like I suppose to, but apparently not so! Now I'm stuck in an area with no way to get out because I don't have double jump or these butterfly wings I keep see popping up on my search for an answer. I can't seem to get past the tricky platforming in the broken elevator section, and I've honestly given up on recovering any geos I earn because those flying enemies just nail me as I leave to recover more health after failed attempts? Should I just fold and restart my entire game at this point or is my hopeless skill level fixable by some trick or training method I am unaware of? I'd love help from anyone really beyond the words "git gud"

The Double Jump is in the Ancient Basin. Instead of trying to get out, you should be pressing forward, er downward. Down and to the left.

I tried doing that. There's just this big slab of rock or whatever that I can't do anything too.

You mean the door with the Seal that says "We will not go there"? You went too far down. Go back up one screen, then look for a path that leads left.

You will also need the Crystal Heart to progress through the Ancient Basin much further.

Also, it is possible to get out past the broken elevator without the wings, there's one really precise wall jump you need to do, but other than that it shouldn't be too bad. Iirc you need to keep holding towards the wall when you jump, otherwise you'll hit the spokes on the opposite side. You need to be as high as you can get though, which can be a little though to do precisely.

If you haven't resed at a bench down there, then there is also the possibility of dying and taking the loss of geo to get out (or quit and reload at the last bench for the same result but keeping your geo).

Good luck!

That one just has a pathway of spikes and one higher above has super tough enemies that kill me rather quickly

The path of spikes is the way to go. But I take it you don't have the Crystal Heart (super dash)? Should have asked that sooner.

Unless you have the Tram Pass, which I seriously doubt, I'm afraid you will have to climb back up the elevator shaft. It's definitely doable.

Alright, thanks.
