Epic Knight Underpromotion! (Endgame Study)

It's a path that many a brave Knight has travelled...but very few have lived to tell the tale of their encounter with the mysterious monster...known as this endgame study?
Only when you have answered the 5 questions...I mean, 3 questions...will you be able to cross the Bridge of Death, and achieve the Holy Grail...of solving a very difficult chess puzzle!
Here is your quest:
White to play and win!

Don't forget, you have three lifelines!
You can either ask the audience (comment below, asking for help), phone a friend (a human friend, not Stockfish or Lc0), or do a 50-50 (leaving you with only one good move and one bad move to consider).

Good luck, and may your path to the Holy Grail be a bountiful one.
