A desperate guess, but Conan the Adventurer? I haven't watched the show but it fits with the genre, age (early 90's) and your first point. Also, your second point reminds me of the castle in the Conan short-story The People Of The Black Circle which I know was loosely adapted for one of the show's episodes.

Ivanhoe. I don't know which one (1997? 1970? I live in Poland so it was aired way after it's creation anyway), but it fits the description.

Well, it doesn't sound like the novel "Ivanhoe", which was a historical novel by Walter Scott. The original novel didn't have a monster with two faces (one male and one female), and nothing about an artifact quest. Maybe there was some adaptation with a lot of Adaptation Decay?

Yeah, the show was everything but historical. It had CGI monsters, among protagonists were a redhead witch and a migdet sidekick. "Ivanhoe" was sort of "the chosen one" and wielded suspiciously Bright Sword

Unstoppable Animosity. I checked "Ivanhoe The King's Knight" and have seen it before, but it has no fantasy enemies at all and certainly no CGI monsters. And what did you mean by "it fits the description"? Was there an actual chasm jump?

painocus. I have looked into ep 1 of Conan and seems similar in elements, but I don't think it's it. Seems a lot faster, while the show I watched was slower.

Uh... I dunno, I've watched only a few episodes of it, but maybe it's Xcalibur?

Maybe 'Mystic Knights'? I remember almost nothing about that so maybe it's way off.

Sulris, no, it wasn't CGI, it may have had CGI moments, but it looked 90s-00s style animation, rather than CGI Alaman, those are Live Action...and I have seen them.

I think you may be referring to Siegfried & Roy: Masters of the Impossible. There were both a demon with face on its chest and another with mouths on its hand.

Yes. Oh yes, thank you. It most definitely is. I can finally rest easy, knowing my mind was not playing tricks on me.
