Plus, being wet, going through water, just isn't fun. It's very cool, but I think there needs to be more added to the game to help get through water. And that boss fight is brutal....mainly due to running around in water without a way to improve speed in water. I enjoy the dungeon, but after digging through muck for the 100th time and searching for dungeons, it does get a little old. One add of an ability or something to help get through water quicker would make a HUGE difference

It already exists. It's called a hoe. Level ground works any place that is shallow enough to have cattails. Otherwise, drop a bench and raise ground. Works great on the boss arena too.
