Half-Pendant Locations

[The Red Jaguars]

I'm not really convinced in that being the Sultan Saladin's half-pendant location. If that was the case, then the last guard would've been in the Pirate's Cove. And it feels extremely unlikely that the last guard would be there, especially in Season 1 where they loved to hide guards in the most common and obvious places. I believe that the last guard was in the Heart Room, so that means the half-pendant was in a room before the Ancient Kings. I'm not saying that there couldn't be a guard in the Pirate's Cove, but it feels extremely unlikely IMO.

It could have also been hanging on the Wall Climb actuator to the Throne Room.

[Olmec is #1]

Here's a list of the episodes with more than one possible half pendant location:
#2: The Golden Cup of Belshazzar - Heart Room or Swamp
#3: Galileo's Cannonball - Wall Climb or Heart Room
#6: The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan - Wall Climb, Shrine of the Silver Monkey, or Torch Room
#14: The Lost Logbooks of Magellan - Wall Climb or Heart Room
#15: The Moccasins of Geronimo - Heart Room, Shrine of the Silver Monkey, or Tomb of the Ancient Kings
#25: The Stone Marker of Leif Erikson - Treasure Room or Torch Room
#28: The Mask of Shaka Zulu - Heart Room, Treasure Room, or Torch Room
#30: The Silver Saddle Horn of Hannibal - Heart Room or Tomb of the Ancient Kings

Which one do you guys think is the correct location for each?

Here's what I'd say:

Golden Cup: Heart Room
Galileo: Wall Climb
Cricket Cage: Wall Climb
Lost Logbooks: Heart Room
Moccasins: Heart Room
Stone Marker: Treasure Room
Shaka Zulu: Treasure Room
Hannibal: Heart Room

Do ANY of you have ANY idea where the star half pendant could have been?

[The Red Jaguars]

I really don't believe the Golden Cricket Cage half-pendant was in the Wall Climb. John and Tia spent a lot of time in that room, and I think we would've saw it for sure. Plus, there were a lot of unentered rooms in that run the last guard could've been practically anywhere. Going by Kamehameha and Great Seal's layout, the last guard was probably in the Tomb of the Ancient Kings. I would say the half-pendant was in the Shrine then?

Silver Saddle Horn's half-pendant is tricky because the last guard could've been in the Gargoyle Room or Well. I say the last guard was in the Gargoyle Room because it was pretty uncommon for a Season 1 run to not have a guard in the entrance room. And that would've made the last guard in the Holes of Python judging by the fact the Treasure Room did not open to the Holes of Python. I need to go back and rewatch this episode again though. The Heart Room was probably the location for the half-pendant.

Not sure about the other ones. Runs like Golden Cup, Stone Marker, Shaka Zulu, and Geronimo had some pretty bizarre paths where it was hard to tell the true intended path. Plus, Season 1 was inconsistent with their hiding places. They practically hid the half-pendant in the first area that popped in their mind.

[Legends Explorer Alec]

I'd have to agree. And for the star half pendant, I didn't see anything hanging from either actuator in the Spider's Lair. Therefore, it was definitely hanging on the Wall Climb actuator to the Throne Room.

[The Red Jaguars]

I don't think the Sultan Saladin half-pendant was in the Wall Climb. Lea spent a lot of time in the Wall Climb, and we should've seen it for sure. Plus, we get a shot of the Throne Room actuator and the half-pendant is not hanging on there. I think the half-pendant was either in the Throne Room, Heart Room, or Spider's Lair. Remember, the producers loved hiding the half-pendant in unconventional places in Season 1 like on ladders or on the floor. Season 2 and 3 tried to hide them in places where the contestants would at least look.

[Legends Explorer Alec]

It was more likely in the Heart Room (hanging on the actuator to the Throne Room). Anyway, where do you think the third guard was in that episode?

[The Red Jaguars]

It had to be either the Heart Room or Pirate's Cove. I believe the last guard was in the Heart Room for two reasons:

1.) It was pretty common for one of the central shaft rooms to house at least one guard. In this case, the Heart Room was most likely a detour room.

2.) The Torch Room/Pirate's Cove room space almost never housed a guard. The only time it housed one in the first two seasons was in Lost Logbooks. I see the Pirate's Cove very unlikely, especially when the room was completely avoidable on this temple path.

[Legends Explorer Alec]

So here's a list of all the "most likely" half pendant locations:

Golden Cup: Heart Room/Treasure Room actuator
Galileo: Heart Room/Golden Idols actuator
Cricket Cage: The base for the monkey in the Shrine
Golden Ship: Heart Room/Golden Idols actuator
Sultan Saladin: Heart Room/Throne Room actuator
Lost Logbooks: Heart Room/Treasure Room actuator
Moccasins:Heart Room/Treasure Room actuator
Stone Marker: Treasure Room/Shrine actuator
Shaka Zulu: Treasure Room/Shrine actuator
Hannibal: Heart Room/Treasure Room actuator
Snake Bracelet: Fallen Columns/Golden Orbs actuator
Walking Stick: Swamp/Dark Forest actuator

Hey,

I've recently come across an email from a Gmail user named Matt alleging that the half pendant for The Snow Cone of Mount Kilimanjaro was on one of the arms of the camera left tree in the Dark Forest.

@Alec: Do you have a high-resolution version of this episode that you could inspect to try to verify the voracity of this claim?

[Legends Explorer Alec]

I don’t have a high-resolution copy of that episode. Wasn’t it already confirmed that it was in the Jester’s Court?

No it wasn't because I've argued that that hanging bit was a piece of padding or trim put onto the corner to prevent injury.

If you look at the left "wrist" of the camera left tree while the arms of the other tree are flailing about and you'll see something that certainly looks like a half pendant.

I've uploaded a couple of images of the Dark Forest during this run with circles indicating where you should be looking:





The problem is that the lighting of the Dark Forest was so dim that I doubt anyone would've noticed the half pendant there, including the home audience.

Maybe someone else can get better shots than mine.

They would if only there was a paid YouTube channel with the complete series. If there was, the episodes would be in perfect quality like the ones I have on iTunes. And hey, weren't what we saw in "The Bent Shaving Pan of Jedediah Smith" and "The Marble Armrest of Xerxes" the half pendants?

I refer you back to my post on August 08, 2012 @ 07:30:44 PM for my thoughts on this dangling piece of only Olmec knows what under the Court>Forest door.

These thoughts are still my thoughts about that issue. That it was a broken piece of safety trimming that was later repaired by the production staff, and that Noelle saw something worthwhile to signal to her partner, or she'd have never have wasted the time to signal to Pat.
