Find all the items in the list. Inventory Item: Torch. Use the Torch (1) on the Fire (2) before exiting the scene.

Rotate the Red Circles (click to rotate counter-clockwise; right click to rotate clockwise) until you form complete paths connecting the Center Sphere (green) and the 6 Sources (white) around the outside.

Note that your puzzle may begin differently but the solution is always the same. When complete (2), collect the Blue Gem (3).
Return to the Hut Grounds and continue to the Temple Gates. Use the Machete (click 3 times; you can click anywhere) on the Vines (green) and then use the Blue Gems (blue and yellow) in the slots at either side.
Use the Weights to balance the Skulls so the bottom of their mouths line up with the point of each gem. Skulls b and d are connected to each other and Skulls a, c and e are all connected to each other. Skull b needs one more weight than Skull d and Skull e needs one more weight than Skull c, which needs 2 more weights than Skull a.

The image halves may be side by side, or they may be above and below each other, and that determines which Handle does what.
Here are the solutions for all 4 constellations. Note that these are not actual representations of the real constellations.

A good strategy would be to draw a simple (or as complex as you like) map that will give show you where all the obstacles are (reefs, pirates, shipwrecks, land masses, etc.) and put marks (1) where there will be clear sailing…or you can do what I did, and cheat. I put pieces of tape on my screen and just clicked away, LOL. Once you’ve placed all your marks, click OK (2) to start sailing to France (3).
This arcade/skill game is a bit of a challenge and you may need to try more than once (unless you cheat, as I did). You can always click the Solve button if you’d like to skip it.
