Okone other issue: the second hyena ambush is literally impossible if you used your healing items before (since losing to them is just a straight up game over.) the player should get a heads up or a healing item beforehand.
Proper item management is important. In general, you should be overflowing with items by the late game, I actually need to cut them down a bit. Remember that you have a healing skill you can use while out of combat. That's also essential for saving items so they can be used while fighting.
