If you found a hole in the wall on the level below the level you began
the game, try using the cheese (if you have the cheese that is).

>   What do the Iron, Copper, Chrome keys do ?  They seem rather useless.

Iron opens doors on the Entry level, the copper some doors on the level below
the Entry level and the Chrome opens doors on the level above where you
started.  You did try using the keys with doors right?..
Only the Chrome is important the other two can be actually dropped.

Skull key? no such key in the castle.  Killing NPCs will hamper you game
later on.  Where do you plan on getting equipment for your characters???

Have you tried reading the book of ramm?

Hmmm..let's see by random chance you will have a permutation of 4*4*4*4*4
or 4 to the fifth power equals 1024 possible permutations that you will
have to try...well if you have the time to spend go ahead.  

And no to the 2nd question.

No.

>   Which key opens the gate near the Skull door ? 

Gold key.

> Which key opens the door at the top of the Belfry 

Bell Key.

>(can I knock-knock it ?) ?

No.  But you must have tried this...
