ive gotten it once by luck but died later on in the level,
talking to the lil glyph guy on the map, he says " The corruption has really gotten to it, I wonder if there's any way of helping it" as the clue for the level.
I spent a while looking around for a hidden switch or a way of interacting with the hermit through the environment and couldnt find anything
One of the cannons on the right side dose line up with hitting the avatar item, but requires precise timing i couldnt do after many attempts

got the avatar, heres a guide for it, i hope it helps!

Yeah, that's how I got the avatar and then I died. It's still pretty hard, but it seems like this is the easiest and best way to do it. Chasing the dragon is pretty pointless because it is too fast.

I got it, finally! I recommend getting the keys first because it's way harder to get the avatar. It's very frustrating when you get the avatar and die while getting the keys.
