upper guk secret room exit
 

is there a way to walk out of skeletal monk room (pits)? no ports, lev-hopping, gflux shenanigans

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are asking, but I just take the ladder out of the water.

Yep, if you fall in the water from spider pits or if you went to skeletal monk area, just swim till you find the ladder. Iirc, it is in the NW corner of the water, but I might be wrong, it has been a long time now since I took it

omg theres a ladder?!?!?! i couldnt find one for 10 minutes so i drowned myself then corpsedragged

Shits classic

Awesome. Look under water for connections between water sections.
