Thats probably a goner with how droopy the leaves look and how much yellow I see. Check if it has any corms cause you might have to start over. I reckon you could lift this thing up straight out of the soil with massive rot at the base

What is the condition of the roots?
Have you inspected the entire plant?

Im not hopeful of leaves surviving… that being said, these plants corms are hardy.
Depending on what you want to do, you can leave it in the soil, let it dry a bit like normal, and continue as if the plant has leaves. This has worked for some of my alocasias. This is best when there are still good roots ✨️
If there are no more roots, you can dig it out, let it dry out for a month, and start fresh. If there are roots, you can chop them and still dry it out. Replant in some perlite or moss and start it as a fresh corm.
This is just where my trial and error has gotten me. Good luck!

This is salvageable. Is this in soil? Get it out. Put her in coco perlite. Don’t let her dry out too much, but don’t let the soil get too wet. Self watering is your friend. And feed her every time. You’ve likely lost the leaves it has now but another will grow with time and proper care

Yours is doing the exact same as mine. I also repotted after a week of aclimating and being very dramatic. Had a new leaf shooting out that all of a sudden grew a dark spot. The thing was root bound with healthy white roots so not sure either.
In my opinion someone earlier also said this I’d cut those leaves off for sure an start over I bet the corm is ok so propagating is is a great strategy an you might find 1 or 2 extra corms on it also. Good luck.

You can still grow from the corm even when the leaves are gone, if the roots are still good, and the new leaves may be better acclimated to your environment than the last ones. Even if the roots are bad, as long as the corm isn’t rotted, which most likely isn’t, you can regrow roots on corms too.

Consider putting it in a semi-hydro setup to prevent this from happening again
