Late game is making me actively hate this game

I am stuck mid act 3 and I'm fuming. The coral arena was already tilting me, thankfully after I finally passed the first three I one shot the rest of it. It took me a long while to figure out how to get to the far fields heart, but a snail shaman hint helped. I was in the process of getting the ant heart, but took a break cuz I didn't wanna grind another hard area so soon after the coral arena, so I started exploring further. While getting the rest of the fleas I found a twisted bud. Figured it must be how you get to the pollen heart, cuz I went through blasted steps and shellwood and couldn't figure out the way. Well, I gave the bud to the shaman in shellwood. Next thing I know, I'm stuck with this fuckass witch crest, and I went around the map twice before finding that craw summons, because ofc it doesn't spawn the first time you get to that bench. Now I find out you have to do a craw arena and an entire boss and I don't even know if that will get this shit off me. DO AN ARENA WHERE YOU CAN'T HEAL, CAN'T USE SKILLS OR TOOLS AND YOU ARE STUCK WITH THIS SO YOU CAN'T PROGRESS ELSEWHERE EITHER. This is so fucking bs and I genuinely want to uninstall. Horrible game design. Despite all the great there is to this game, this entire third act has been mostly suffering and ruined my enjoyment of the game. I don't think taking a break will help me not despise this shitty game design decision. Call it skill issue, but after 30+ hours of using wanderers, it's downright impossible to use an entirely different crest along with the other restrictions.
