I had problems with this for a while.  I eventually made it by collecting
all the magic rocks on the level I could find.  You can get quite a few
by running and jumping left from the first living axe-throwing statue.
(It takes quite a bit of work to run and jump completely hidden behind
a wall to get these, though.)

Once I had those, I grabbed the chilli that is right before the two leopards,
then jumped onto the opposite ledge.  I pelted both leopards with magic
stones until one jumped up to where I was, then used the whip to kill it
ASAP.  N.B.: You are nearly dead at that point, but then you only have
one leopard to deal with, and it should be at around 40%-70% health.
Timing is everything after you leap down to throw normal stones at it.
You can usually survive two or three contacts with the last leopard.
Try to start firing just after you reverse direction before you jump over
the oncoming leopard.  Sometimes you have time to peel off a shot, and
about 30% of the time you won't.  Still, all it takes is about 8-12 hits
then.

Neat game, though Abuse has been drawing more of my attention lately.
