It took some doing, but I finally beat this game. Capcom did a swell job with this one.
The door that Abang was standing in front of is a dead end. Instead, go north and east of that door and you'll be able to find the doorway that continues into the castle.
At the next floor, go north, then east when you can't go north anymore. Go through the door and enter the next floor. When you go north and east again, you'll meet Sorsha and Madmartigan. Sorsha won't let you escape, but Willow throws the Powder of Unrequited Love/Dust of Broken Hearts at her. Sorsha dodges it, and just like in the movie, Madmartigan falls in love with Sorsha. Sorsha then has a change of heart and tells you that the Crest of the Spirits is in a treasure chest in a cave below the castle.
Go through the door that Sorsha and Madmartigan were standing in front of and continue. You'll meet General Kael (a reference to well-known movie critic Pauline Kael), and he's given the Crest of the Spirits to Bavmorda. He's really easy if you know what to do. Stay down and to the right of him, and stand still and swing the sword at him. Since his attacks do a lot of damage, be sure you're healed up. If you do it right, you'll be able to corner him and take him out very easily. If you're all the way to the side, General Kael will go berserk and you'll get absolutely destroyed.
Enter the door to the north, cross the bridge, and then enter the door in the lower-left room. The rest of the path is fairly straightforward.
You'll then be in a square room with no visible exits. You'll finally meet Queen Bavmorda. She'll run around the room and leave flames behind. Equip the Magic Cane and fire it at her whenever she's close enough to you, so that you leave no margin of error between you and her when it comes to your shots. This cane obviously requires MP to use, and if you mess up here, you're done for.
When you beat her, you'll get the Crest of the Spirits back. You'll then fight Bavmorda again. If you were expecting this to be even more difficult, you're sadly mistaken. This time, she'll use the exact same tactics, but you can hit her with the sword. Just stand still and swing the sword repeatedly as soon as she comes towards you. Problem solved.
After the battle, Queen Bavmorda is struck by lightning and defeated, and your quest is over. Enjoy your ending!
