Strategy (thanks to Gamezebo user Elle)
1. Do not connect any of the small points directly to each other.
2. Some of the small points have only one possible connection. Get these out of the way first.
3. For the other points just go ahead and choose one of the connections. You may have to make changes later. This part is just trial and error.
4. Connect the middle section and see what lights up. Look for breaks in the overall connection and fix them. You may have to try more than one way of connecting the large point.
The key for me was looking for the small points that could only be connected in one way.

PRIEST’S PALACE – Eyes
In the room on top of the stairs, look to your right and check the statues. You will need to find 8 eyes for these statues. One eye is found in the left box before the stairs, and another is found in the left pillar next to the stone tablet, up the stairs.
PRIEST’S PALACE – Mirrors
After putting the eyes in the statues, laserbeams will come out of their eyes, and go through an empty mirror frame. Find 5 pieces of the mirror to restore it.
Once the mirror is restored, the beams will reflect upon clog of the big statue, break it, and stop the spinning blades from killing your prince.
PRIEST’S PALACE – Pilar keys
Go back down to the alter, and click on the top of it to talk to the prince. Click on the little pyramid to the left and a pillar will rise. You will need to find 7 keys for it. One key is found in the right box before the stairs, and another is found in the right pillar next to the stone tablet, up the stairs.
Once you’ve put the keys in the pillar, the alter with the prince will lower. To cut his chains, you will need to combine the amulets of earth, fire and water, and make a sword out of them. In order to do so, you need to solve a puzzle, in which you rotate the pieces to fit the sword.

MINIGAME 16 – Matching columns
Move the third row to make matching columns of colors. The more columns you match, the faster the rows slide.
Tip: A challenging final puzzle. There are two basic strategies, depending on your skills.
1) You can simply line up the third row with the fourth, and wait until there is a match. However, you will be at risk of running out of time.
2) Try and plan ahead. The first row jumps one stone at a time, while the second row jumps two stones.
