I think this is the absolute limit of my abilities. If there is a way of killing those two giants without losing any health, I don't know what it is. I left the snail world with full health and lost no further energy other than when I battled those two.
I think this is also a personal record for score... 200 for killing the block pusher, 200 for Ishran, 200 for the axeman (with 3x20 for hitting blobs while doing it), 4x50 cavern crystals (I could improve this by taking a health hit but I didn't think it was worth it) and 200 for the orange waterfall monster. I didn't kill a single bat, other than in the snail world where they are not worth points.
I'll give out one last tip... in the snail world ignore the potion and horn and head straight down the rope towards the snail. The bats will all disappear at a particular moment. Then head back up the rope. You can collect the horn and potion without being bothered by the bats anymore.
