Use the Accio spell to move the stone with the blue light so that the light falls on the symbol shown in the picture above.

Place the stone with the yellow light so that its beam falls on the sun symbol. When the symbols on the ground are lit, the stone door will open.
Search for the Snidgets

Move through the chambers and remove vines with a fire spell when needed. In the last room, pick up the chest with Accio and place it next to the opposite wall. Lift the chest with Levioso and climb up.

Pick up the cube with Accio, jump back down and put it on the symbol highlighted in blue.

Place the cube lying next to the tree on the symbol highlighted in red. Now use any fire spell to ignite the cube in the red symbol . and Glacius on the cube in the blue symbol .
Defeat the Poachers

After opening the way to the next chamber, some Poachers will appear. Defeat them all. At some point during the fight, Centaurs will come to your aid.
After the fight is over, open the door and watch the final cutscene.
