Please feel free to continue discussing the previous episodes. But for now, I will be moving on to "Lily-Crested Crown of Clovis I."
Guards Encountered: Chamber of the Sacred Markers, Shrine of the Silver Monkey
Number of Unencountered Guards: 1
Rooms not Entered: Secret Password, Dark Forest, Jesters' Court, Tomb of the Headless Kings, Ledges, Ancient Warriors (armor 3)
Notes:
My Thoughts: Since the guards in the Ancient Warriors were only ever placed in inactive headdresses nearest the room from which the contestant entered, the guard would have been in the first headdress if one was in the room. Since that armor did not have a guard behind it, I don't think there was a guard in the Ancient Warriors.
-- The King's Storeroom was the only room to open from the Pit, and the Tomb of the Headless Kings did not open from the Chamber. Therefore, the Tomb of the Headless Kings and Jesters' Court were inaccessible, meaning there could not have been a guard in either of those rooms.
-- The Ledges appeared to be well-lit, so I don't think there was a guard there.
-- If I had to guess between the Dark Forest and Secret Password, I would say that the Secret Password would have been the door to open and hold the final guard. The only time both doors opened was in "War Fan of the Forty-Seven Ronin," but that team had 1 pendant while the "Clovis I" team had 2 pendants. The reason I think the Secret Password is more likely to have held the final guard is that the Secret Password only ever held a guard when the team was entering from the Shrine. Additionally, I think it would have been awkward to have the final guard in the Dark Forest, since it would have had to have blocked the stone wall in order to make a capture, when the artifact was directly on the other side of the wall. Take "Lost Logbooks of Magellan" for example, where the final guard was in the upper left room and where the artifact was directly below in the lower left room.
