Half-Pendant Locations

[PurpleParrot4Life]

Even better, you got a different shot with the circled object on the ground in the "Cricket Cage" temple run. It does make sense for the half-pendant to be there because its highly possible the final temple guard was in the Room of the Golden Idols or Observatory. After all, all the temple runs on that production day had temple guards that were in the front of the temple rather than the back. Not to mention, the "Golden Ship" and "Map to the Lost Gold Mine" kids met their last temple guard in the Golden Idols. So it makes sense the last temple guard was in the Golden Idols.

And did John or Tia even try the Heart Room-Golden Idols door? I honestly wished this ended in triple capture rather than seeing those two suck it up even more. 

Yes, they tried the door from the Heart Room to Golden Idols, and, assuming they could properly manipulate hitting a button, the door was locked. This means that they were meant to go up the entire central shaft to the observatory, but Tia never tried that door leading up.

OK, here's what I have for Saladin:

Once again, one or the other can't be the half pendant. I'm kid of leaning toward it being on the Throne's camera-left armrest, if just because what's on the sarcophagus in the Tomb doesn't seem to be the right size and shape.

With only your pictures for reference, I can say that I extremely doubt the half pendant is the circled object in the Tomb of Ancient Kings... it is significantly too small and would have been in the same room as the final temple guard (if we were to assume that the final guard was in a dead-end Heart Room that could be accessed from the Throne Room).

The third guard had to be either in there or in the Pirates' Cove, since we know that the other guard that Lea didn't encounter was in the Cave of Sighs, and she entered all of the other rooms.

I know I'm going against my motto by saying this, but the Pirates' Cove (and all of the rooms toward the back of the temple) statistically held significantly less amounts of guards than the rooms toward the entrance way of the temple, so my guess is that the final guard was in the Heart Room (although I admittedly have no way to prove it). Plus, there have not yet been any other half pendants potentially being located anywhere in that entire room.

Another one I am trying to look for is "The Lucky Pig of Amelia Earhart". We know the last temple guard was in the Swamp, so I have been looking at the Dungeon and Ancient Kings. No luck so far.

I don't know if this is it or not (it could just be the light reflecting off of the tarp):



Though considering that the half pendant in the Henry VIII run was there and it was filmed the same day...

Might've found the half pendant in "Galileo's Cannonball":

[The Red Jaguars]

I don't think we should list half-pendant locations for runs like "Jean Lafitte" yet since we don't know for sure if those are the half-pendants. But yeah, we are making good progress in this topic when it comes to finding half-pendants. Part of the process is narrowing down possible locations for them, especially for season one. If you can narrow it down, it makes them easier to zero in on them.

And for TSM's image for "Galileo's Cannonball", its hard to tell from that image if there is a half-pendant there. I have to watch the run myself to see if there is something on the Heart Room floor. But it does kind of make sense for it to be there, since the last temple guard was in the Shrine. I say either there or in the Room of the Golden Idols.

[PurpleParrot319]

I watched that run again and I think that's just the floor decoration.

[The Red Jaguars]

What do you guys think of this? After rewatching "The Silver Saddle Horn of Hannibal" closely, this is what I got:



In this image right here, there is a small object that is laying on the door leading to the Tomb of the Ancient Kings. It doesn't look like a piece of foam either because it was sitting there before Damian tries the door.



In this image, Damian is staring at something in the door. Its possible that he was staring at the actuator or something, but he is not actually looking at the top of the door.



Not really a good shot, but you can see the object move when Damian tries the door. It looks a little big for a random piece of debris or something from the bottom of the room.



This is the best shot I could get of the object on the door frame. It makes me think that the final temple guard was in the Tomb or the Well.

Looking at the temple diagram for this temple run, I now believe the last temple guard was either in the Tomb of the Ancient Kings or Well. I mean had Vicky not went up into the Heart Room, then this temple layout would've been way too simple if she continued on the bottom floor. I think the team was forced on the bottom floor and would've encountered at least one more guard in the Tomb of the Ancient Kings or Well.

I don't think that's the half-pendent. I just saw the episode on my VHS copy and I think it's just a piece of the "packing peanuts" (or whatever they are) from the Holes of Python. It's far too small to be the half-pendent.

[PurpleParrot4Life]

For the "Lucky Pig of Amelia Earhart," I feel like the half pendant would have been in the Heart Room or the Tomb of Ancient Kings.  Considering the guards were in the Room of the Three Gargoyles and the Swamp, the third guard must have been in the Heart Room (the only unentered rooms were the Cave of Sighs- I doubt that both entrances would have had guards- and the Room of Harmonic Convergence- the room with the object). In the event that Kristen went into the Heart Room from the Observatory, she would have been taken out there. That means that Scott would have run into the Swamp guard as the third guard.

The half pendant is not visible in the Observatory, Treasure Room, Shrine of the Silver Monkey, Pirate's Cove, Dungeon, or Tomb of Ancient Kings. Therefore, the most probable places in my mind would either be in the Heart Room, since that room was not entered or shown during the temple overview (but was still active during the run, as evidence of having the third guard), or inside the "Sarcophagus" in the Tomb of Ancient Kings. The only reason I mention the Tomb of Ancient Kings is because it would have been obscured from the camera's view, while still being in an unlikely place that the contestant "should" see. In addition, the other episodes from this layout and this production day were all thought to have the half pendant located somewhere on the ground, so why not put it on the ground in a container that cannot be seen by the television viewer?

Any thoughts?

If you continue watching the run until 0:27 left on the clock, you can see this, which looks to be more like the tarp than a half pendant (courtesy youtube.com video posted by ChargerTheWolf):

[The Red Jaguars]

I don't think that is the half-pendant in the Dungeon either for the "Amelia Earhart" run. Kristen remained in the room long enough to tell that there was no half-pendant there. I honestly have no clue where the half-pendant is in that run. I have seen it plenty of times and never spot it once. Is it in the Heart Room? We never get a shot of it, so its hard to tell if there was one there. But I agree, the last temple guard had to be in there.

Sorry for the massive bump on this topic, but I think this topic would be helpful in locating where the remaining temple guards were for the "Temple Guard Locations" thread.

I don't think that was the half pendant in the "Saddle Horn" run because in the final few seconds, Damon tried both doors to the Tomb of Ancient Kings, and only the one at the back of the room made the sound effect to show the door opened. I doubt the half pendant would have been perched on the locked door.

PP4L, what are your thoughts on this?

Thanks to T90sAAT airing Henry VIII's Great Seal again, we might have a lead as to the location of the half-pendant in the run:

Do you think that's the half pendant?
