Minimal Solution: ice gem, big jump potion, world key
Push HIDDEN SWITCH 1 once to open a trap door, collect weapon arc wide, and kill two foes in a niche to the left. If you have more than one life they will reveal a gold chest key; collecting it will trigger three traps but cause no real problem. From that niche fall down right and then left to land safely. Climb down the ladder and go right to trigger a thief; leave him alone to steal invulnerability, lure him back down with the gold key, and kill him. Collect the gold key and shield potion, climb up past the traps, and wait for shield to run out. Pull LEVER 1 once to reveal a treasure key and trigger a thief to steal it (stand right at the wall to not kill the thief!); get treasure key and leave through door.

Pull LEVER 3 once to open door and two more times to get TELEPORT TO BONUS SECTION.
Make sure you have at least 60% energy before entering the bonus room (maybe visit treasure room first); there you are forced to collect weapon arc standard and fight against snakes. You can leave at three points, but only in the end you can consume large health, extra life, and big jump potion (allows to get world key with only one gem).
Go back and climb further down, there is a water crystal and weapon arc standard to consume and foes who bring water gem and fire gem. Down on the right pull LEVER 5 (with treasure key) to enter treasure room (enter only once); on the top right platform consume large health (watch for birds from left and bottom). Fall down from the left ledge--this costs a bit of energy--consume small health and collect gold chest key at the bottom along with steel chest .

Pull LEVER 6 to close the first trap door in pit 3, fall down, kill wall monster; continue with LEVER 7, LEVER 8, and LEVER 9 in the same way to reach the bottom (health bonus). Pull LEVER 10 (with room key) (foe from left), LEVER 11 (with teleport key), and LEVER 12 and leave through the teleport door (without weapon arc intense you could also fight your way up pit 4--pull LEVER 13 to close trap door). Climb down to jump on the ladder to the left, kill foe in niche to reveal TELEPORT STONE. Collect the steel chalice and pull LEVER 14 to open the ship room; there you deposit the chalices and collect world key.
Pull LEVER 15, consume invulnerability, leave, and quickly take teleport! You reach pit 2; quickly pull LEVER 5 and LEVER 4 and fall down through the right trap door--the shield avoids damage. Pull LEVER 17 to remove trap, collect iron chalice, pull LEVER 18 to open door and exit. Return via ladder, pits 2 and 3, and teleport door to the ship room and walk under the ship with all three chalices to reveal and collect treasure key.

Pull LEVER 7 to enter the crypt, pull LEVER 12 to collect door key and pull LEVER 13 (with door key). Deposit the skull down right to collect piece of mosaic and jar of herbs; LEVER 14 opens door. Pull LEVER 6 to enter the apothecary (carry 3 weapons because of snakes!) where the jar reveals another piece of mosaic; pull LEVER 10 to collect globe and then LEVER 28 above to open the door again. Pull LEVER 4 to enter the wizards study where the globe reveals a piece of mosaic. Now consume the spears in the armory, complete the mosaic, and use the TELEPORT STONE.

Pull LEVER 17 (with 2nd trap door key) to move a block, fight down, jump right and pull LEVER 18 to close a trap door. Get out and go left; pull LEVER 19 twice to close trap door, jump up and also pull LEVER 20 and LEVER 21 twice (this allows access to the gold cross later). Collect trap door key on the left and candle on the top right (use moving BLOCK 3); get back down to pull LEVER 22 (with 3rd trap door key) to move BLOCK 4. Collect door key and pull LEVER 16 (with door key) to enter treasure room; consume food and extra life as well as some golds bags , but leave the weapon arc intense behind.
Climb down the ladder near block 4, jump over the trap on the left and collect gold cross.

Fall down and go left to fight foes from top right; climb further down to next floor and enter the study on the right. Collect door key and room key (because of candle). Pull LEVER 25 (with room key) and enter the chapel above; jump on the altar to trade cross for magical gem. Collect gem and candle and go left to collect treasure key and drop candle. Pull LEVER 23 (with treasure key) to enter treasure room and consume small power potion and small health.
Leave with LEVER 24 and go down left (from the study, climb the ladder only half way down and kill the snakes first--there will be 3 foes from top right); pull LEVER 26 (with door key) to enter the boss room. Kill the dragon to reveal the world key, later pull LEVER 27 (with world key) to summon the shopkeeper and then again to leave this world and level.

Minimal Solution: shortcut, world key
Collect spear and climb down.
Shortcut: Go just beyond lever 1 and return to the start to collect a trap door key; later walk below BLOCK 2 to make it move (foe falls down). Go through the new passage (no foes!) to find two fire crystals , pull LEVER 23 to open teleport door, consume weapon arc wide, three maces, and collect treasure key. Pull LEVER 24 to leave through another teleport door. (You will receive small power potion in the final treasure room.)
Pull LEVER 1 for a starburst, jump onto the ladder and climb down; a foe on the left ledge reveals large health. (If you have strong weapons you might clear the bottom section first. Climb down, jump right, duck from shoots and kill foes on the left. Climb down and shoot through door, go left and kill easy foe first; go all the way left and turn around to kill two strong foes. Further down there are more strong monsters to kill.)
Climb up again and go right, the monster in the first pit reveals a time bomb which you should avoid (it replaces the magic axes and gets lost quickly), there is also a little bit of treasure hidden there. Pull LEVER 2 to move BLOCK 1, pull LEVER 3 to open the trap door and quickly leave this room (a trap appears at the bottom of the ladder!). Stand to the right of the ladder and keep shooting at the bees, your magic axes will eventually destroy the hive (help bonus large health if you are low on energy). Fall down through the trap door and pull LEVER 4 to open the passage. Pull LEVER 5 and enter to consume three maces and collect door key. (You should now walk through the shortcut.)
Make sure LEVER 7 was pulled to open a door and pull LEVER 8 (with door key). Enter and fight your way to the top left (mind the bats). Pull LEVER 12 to consume TELEPORT B, collect gold bowl, and return by pulling LEVER 14 and consuming TELEPORT D. (TELEPORT A leads to one or two bee hives--this is fairly easy. TELEPORT C leads to bats--this is very dangerous even with a wide weapon arc!)
Climb down to collect teleport key and pull LEVER 15 (with teleport key), enter to consume small power potion and collect treasure key. Go back via LEVER 16, jump right and pull LEVER to open door; exit and climb down right. Pull LEVER 18 and go left to reveal room key, the door then opens on your approach. There are bats and strong foes inside as well as a water crystal . Collect attract potion and go right, lure thief with potion to collect teleport key.

Pull LEVER 19 (with teleport key) (help bonus small health) to reach a treasure room and consume extra life and collect water crystal etc. Leave by pulling LEVER 20 (you can take the attract potion along on this way).
Pull LEVER 20 (with treasure key) to enter the final treasure room (wide weapon arc is enforced, enter slowly, duck from shoots, strong foes) and consume food, small health, and water crystals etc. (destroy the whole ceiling).

Hidden Puzzle: If you reach the top with maximum energy you can collect trap door key which gives (another) access to the treasure room: Pull LEVER 10 (with trap door key) to make a block in the floor of the gem room move, fall down into the treasure room on invulnerability. (Climbing up the long ladder triggers strong shooting foes; kill them before pulling the lever, maybe using invulnerability.) LEVER 4 reveals a starburst, LEVER 3 and LEVER 5 remove the platform you are then standing on!
Pull LEVER 6 to enter, climb down the first ladder and pull LEVER 7 to enter teleport door (beware of hives). Pull LEVER 8 twice to open trap doors above and remove trap, collect fire gem and pull LEVER 9 to exit to the gem room and consume small health.

Climb up and jump over trap, quickly pull LEVER 5 (a trap appears there if you go to far) to reveal a BLOCK which acts as a ceiling; press HIDDEN SWITCH 2 over the trap door. Pull LEVER 6 for a starburst and collect ceramic pot; the block is removed if you reach the right end of the platform.
Jump left, climb down, pull LEVER 11 to move BLOCK and quickly go right to pull LEVER 4, consume extra life, and exit from under the platform (speed bonus, traps appear).
