It says somewhere on this wiki that Lloyd was the only who went to the cursed realm without being cursed, therefore, he is the only person who came out alive.

Clouse escaped the cursed realm before it collapsed. You can see him sawing at his cage when Lloyd goes past. Then he escaped. Clouse escaped as a ghost because he was cursed.
