@blumyst - You're now dealing with one of the hardest dungeons in the game, so it's only natural that you'll have some trouble

I built Path of Thanatos with a design philosophy of 'adventuring on a budget' and 'zero grinding' - you've got to use the money you have strategically, buy what you think is most necessary. That said, there are a few things you can do.
Sell your old equipment, or anything else that you don’t think you will need (this includes any plants you may have harvested). There are a few side-quests that can get you a bit of extra gold as well. There was a side-quest in Faralene where you had to help a man avenge his wife (you can start that off by talking to the maid in the inn, and then talking to the man outside in Faralene). There’s another side-quest in Idalium where you can buy a fish for 50 gold, and give it to the cat in the graveyard outside the Church. In return, it’ll give you a Full-Tonic which can either be a useful item or be sold for 350 gold depending on what you want to do.
There were also some hidden treasure chests in the Idalian Forest. At the very beginning of the Forest, you can go right through the trees and you’ll find a high-potion. Alternatively, in the Forest Maze, there’s a part with two groups of moss-covered rocks – one pointing left, the other pointing right. Now right is the correct path – it takes you out of the Forest – but if you go left, you’ll come to a treasure chest which will give you a helm upgrade depending on which class you chose.
And let’s see...there’s also a chest with 250 gold near the beginning of the lair underneath the Church. After activating the first switch, head left and you’ll find a small room with a guard (he doesn’t attack though) and the treasure chest.
Those are some things you may have missed that can get you a bit more money. And if you're REALLY having trouble, there is a safer path through the Kratos Lair. If you just stick to the main path then you only have to fight 3 groups of Kratos soldiers before you get to the Save Point, which will replenish your health and SP. Then you can go back and explore the other optional areas/get the treasure chests.
Hope that helps!
