THE END
(1) If Hen Wen was caught earlier in the game (as occurred in the movie), you'll need to free him first. From the castle entrance, you need to go twice north, west, up the stairs, and twice east, onto the balcony overlooking the Horned King's Throne Room, where his minions are feasting. The Horned King will come in, order his minions out and then Hen Wen is brought in. While Hen Wen is in trance, jump off the balcony, grab her to break the spell, and take off with her. You can throw her off the parapet, or go across the drawbridge or down into the dungeons letting her go out through the hole in the burial chamber either with or without Eilonwy. After escaping the castle yourself, go to the lake next to the waterfall, where pig tracks will be visible. Jump from rock to rock towards the big rock in the middle. The rock will sink and you'll end up in the same Fair Folk cavern as the one behind the waterfall earlier.
(2)You can also enter the Horned King's Secret Burial Chamber from above and watch him resurrect skeletons. If you don't jump off the ledge, Gurgi will show up and sacrifice himself by jumping in the cauldron (like in the movie). At the final scene the witches will then again offer several items for trade: a book with all the knowledge in the universe, a pot of gold from the end of the rainbow and finally Gurgi's resurrection (again, like in the movie). This however will lead to a score of 225/230. To avoid this, jump down from the ledge in the burial chamber before Gurgi shows up and show the mirror to the king.
