You are trying to escape the dungeon with the crown. There is a chamber 
at the bottom of the maze that is surrounded by fires and has a crown at 
the top. This is your goal.

You have to gather 1000 diamond points: each cluster of 3 diamonds is 
worth 10 points. After you get these points (one of the numbers at the 
bottom tells you how many points you need still) then the Flame Spirit 
will become available. (The number of the points you need will be 
replaced with a dancing flame and another number. This number represents 
how many points you will receive when you find the flame spirit.)

Once the flame spirit becomes available, wander around (usually near 
the bottom) until you hear music. Go where the music seems loudest, 
and use your flashlight to locate the flame spirit. Once you have 
found the flame spirit, press down on the joystick. A static field should 
be visible around your character. Now go to the bottom entrance of the 
crown chamber and kneel for a moment again, until the skull appears. 
Now you can climb up the skull and get the crown. Climb up the sides. 
Get directly unerneath the crown, go up, and kneel again. You should 
hear a fanfare. Exit through the bottom entrance, and music should start 
playing. You have either 2 or 3 repetitions through the song before your 
crown disappears to get to the very top of the highest mountain at the 
top of the maze. Go through the flame there, and then you'll be on the 
next level. Also, avoid the bats while you have the crown on the first 
level, and on all higher levels, when you have either the flame spirit 
or the crown. The grey bats will take either away. You will also want 
to avoid the spider which resides on the very bottom level of the maze.
