That's no Knight! (That's my sister...8-) Actually, it's Lord Chaos,
and you can't kill him. The scrolls you've been finding told you what
you have to do to him (cage him, then fuse him). Once you attach the
gem to the staff, the stairs all close, because all that's left is to
defeat Lord C. The act of caging him succesfully, however, is one
that's sure to cause you hours of frustration, as I'm sure it did most
of the people who have finished. Since what I have said here is what
the scrolls tell you, this isn't a spoiler. Needless to say, then,
there is indeed a trick to the act of caging & fusing. Trial, error,
and some solid intuition should be enough to solve it for you. One
warning: at least the Atari version was known to have a bug which
could make the game "bomb" if Lord Chaos was not facing you when you
started to fuse him. This may have been cleared up for the Amiga. Any
of you reading this have/not have this problem?
     As for the Winged Key slot, you needn't worry about it if you've
already killed the you-know-what on L14. It's a quick way in & out.
