Or you're just given a bad roll on the dice and get yourself thrown into a bad spot for either first Digititus or Drainage tethers. Which still gets us at times. Which is why I point out that the final phase actually feels easier than Hand or Tornado, simply because all of it's major RNG mechanics come in one at a time, instead of 2-3 RNG mechanics coming in at once during Hand and Torando.
