I picked up this game for easy platinum and I got what I wanted. The catacombs puzzle where you turn the dials to raft to blue chests and secret items is the only part that took me some time. Thought I'd help out those who need help with this, by taking some screenshots of my TV while playing that section. So here it is ...

 

You can also find the same info along with some handy links HERE. If for some reason the screenshots I've linked below get deleted, use that link to locate them.

 

To get to this area, you need to be in that big room where you are asked to rescue many ogres by solving puzzles. You start out by lighting a lantern with Fiona and running down, where you see the 3 mice that give you tips. Run past them, use Fiona upgrade to burn the logs and run downstairs and light all lanterns you see. On your left side there should be two dials and on the right side one map and a waterfall. If you stand between the two dials, the camera shows you the entire area to help you solve the puzzle on that side. One dial will reorient 3 poles, and the other dial turns the other three. There is a 'wanted poster' inside that checkered gate at the bottom. To open the gate, you need to turn another dial that is right at the bottom of the screen (when you are looking at the overall view). To reach this dial, there is a place you can raft to, but this place is not visible on the screen when you get that overall view.

 

Your first goal should be to light up the small lanterns near the chests by rafting to them. They will enable a few more rafting points, giving you more options to get to your destination. Get the blue chests on this side first, then turn the last dial to open the gate to the poster. Lower the water level and run to it.

  • After you light up the two lanterns in the top-middle of this screenshot, you get more rafting points. If you turn the dials to position the poles as shown here, you can raft to the left most corner of the screen, giving you access to a blue chest.

  • After you get the blue chests on the left side, you need to get to the last dial (see bottom-right corner of the screenshot). This dial opens the gate with the wanted poster (see top-right corner of the previous screenshot to locate the gate). The following screenshot shows the position of the poles that will raft you to the last dial.

  • The following pole positions will raft you to another blue chest on the left side (you get off right above the gate with the wanted poster).

  • Once you get everything from the left side, you move to the right side with waterfalls and a map. You get a bow tie and a blue chest (or two) on this side. Getting the bow tie is just a matter of turning a couple of dials that are easily accessible, and then rafting to it. To get the very last chest, you need to form a bridge with the boxes. One of the boxes is in a different corner and you need to move it all the way. See screenshot below.

Hope that helped. The fun is in figuring it out yourself and this is not difficult, but the tips are for those who are in a hurry to platinum.
