Okay, nobody's getting it, so I'm just gonna give away the answer.
It was the Leopard Skin Cloak of Annie Oakley:
1. There were a total of 9 questions asked during the Steps of Knowledge.
2. The Purple Parrots swept the Blue Barracudas in the temple games 2-0.
3. Nick took the shaft/shrine passage, Chandra didn't take any shortcuts. So Nick did indeed take a slightly different path than Chandra did.
Anyone can go.
