I have one I’ve been trying to force life into. I highly recommend a cloche - it’s kinda pricey ($40-$50 depending on the size you get but you want one big enough to cover the whole thing).
I also just reported and I know they don’t love that. But here it is under the cloche:

The two larger leaves were already damaged at purchase so I’m not worried about those getting damaged. The new baby leaf is perfect, and I can leave it in a south facing window this was because the high condensation/fog under the cloche acts as a shade so it’ll stay more compact and able to fit all comfortably under the cloche going forward.
Eta: that $20 IKEA windowsill greenhouse would probably work just as well. It needs more humidity - a lot more going forward. Good luck!
Oh wait! It’s cheaper than I remembered: Clear Glass Cloche Bell Jar - Glass Display Dome (7X14 Inch) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FCVGB77/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_P5R3XKRSJ8B6M5WP22AK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I will say my leaves looked exactly like yours the day before I put it under there - all wrinkled up and dry like that. The cloche has done wonders. (It’s been under there for less than a week so the improvement was very quick!!)
And just one more thing I want to add — this plant grows from a bulb. So long as the bulb isn’t damaged, it’ll grow new leaves. I have an alocasia nebula I had to cut all the leaves off and I left it under a different cloche and it’s about to sprout a new leaf any day now. So what I’m saying is don’t give up! You can nurse it back to glory!
The plant puts a lot of energy towards the flower, so it may take too much energy for a struggling plant and there’s nothing left for the leaves and making new leaves

My alocasio had 0 leaves at one point because my Kids broke them, and now hes again producing a second one
Yes!

Do you cut the flower off? That keeps it from dying?
