Agreed, though you get the axe and long sword later, both of which are significantly better for lining up shots.

Also, thanks for the manual link. Nice to know a partial map was included, it lets me feel slightly less guilty for using one.

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. :(

Dang dungeon 6!

The shortage of keys and the boss-that-just-wouldn't-go-down!

Had to BUY a key for dungeon 7 -- didn't start it yet.

Ice bell is a USEFUL item for getting those 2 items after clearing out 6.

That is where I am too. I'll start #7 later... I hope the enemies there are a little less brutal.

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?*

dsh, that FAQ says to leave D7 with the ship and go get Dragon Mail and Flame Sword, and then come back and finish D7. Is that what you did?

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

D8 is done (and surprisingly easy).
