Trying to figure out how best to proceed in this level. It's relatively complicated and I'm feeling a bit lost.

I've explored most of the level, except I haven't gotten enough attack to go past the pirates. I see my options for that are the Hook and the Wyrmsmiter, but both will be tough to get.

I have the invisibility potion. Wondering if it's better to use it to get the handbomb, or to sneak past one of the rattlesnakes and get the sword or shield. Or, maybe I save it for the second half and do something sneaky there.

Basically, I'm feeling a bit baffled on what order to do the major things in and would like a recommendation.

I looked at my playthrough (which I did over 5 years ago!) and here is what I did.

First of all, I attached a screen showing my stats at the beginning of the level. These are definitely not optimized, so there's plenty of room for improvement.
In my run I used the invisibility potion to get as soon as possible the long sword, this allowed me to be close to 150 ATK to one shot the swordman. The "intended" way was to use the invisibility potion for the bomb, but I don't think that's a good way to optimize.

Before killing the tar mother I had these stats:


I cleared the first half of the level with these stats:

After clearing a bit the outer part of the second half, I went back to the first half and got the bomb, which I then used to kill the wubba and get the wyrm smiter. So, I did not enter the last 4 inner rooms of the second half before getting the wyrm smiter.
