I also wasn't buying enough supplemental items at the Djinni. I didn't have money early in the game, but I had cash late and couldn't find either magic items to deal 20+ damage or armor to make me more confident wading into the fray. I'm still equipped with normal chain mail

Yeah, having to flee and out of everything really really hurts. Dungeon was a ton of fun, but it is 95% luck
