Yeah, got the axe now so enemies are slightly better. Of course I'm still fighting the stupid controls when cutting down trees now. This game is just ruined by the awful control.
Dungeon 6 was insane. I did leave, farm for horns, and buy the stuff to fix my armor. I went back and my strategy was to progress as much as I could and if I died, I'd then leave the dungeon and farm nearby for hearts and magic. I didn't mind that this would respawn enemies in the dungeon. It made it much easier if I had high heart levels.
The dungeon 6 boss was one of the easiest. I stood in the doorway, and shot the Thunder Magic. He was dead really quick.
Oh and regarding keys, I'm not sure what you guys are doing differently, but again I have not encountered this key shortage problem. In fact, having just beat D6 (with the Ice Bell) I still have an extra key. (?)
ANYWAY, what do I want to do before I enter D7?*
(now I have Nirvana's cover of "D-7" in my head...)

no, I never left a dungeon midway through to go get armor or weapons. I got them before/afterwards.
