Half-Pendant Locations

[The Dark Enforcer]

I think that I found the half-pendant from "The Trojan Horseshoe", but I'll never have enough video evidence to prove it.

If you watch the run, right before Lucretia presses the actuator for the door from the Room of the Golden Idols, she fiddles with something in the immediate vicinity of that actuator. It is my belief that she fiddled with the half-pendant before realizing that it wasn't hers to take.

Does anyone else agree with me on this?

I think you might be right. If you watch carefully, both of her hands were going for that actuator. I think that means the half pendant was on the actuator. It would also make sense to put it there because after Shawn grabbed the horseshoe, you can see the headdress of a temple guard in the bog of the Spider's Lair, meaning this room was a dead end and triple guard capture was possible.

[The Headless King]

I think I can prove that it is there.



In the Trojan Horseshoe picture, we can see a small shadow hanging down from the actuator.
The picture from King Tut's Cobra Staff goes to show that this shadow might actually be the unlit side of the half-pendant.
And probably most important of all, the Pendant of Kamehameha picture shows that there is usually no shadow.

Interesting catch for "The Trojan Horseshoe" episode. That location would make sense for the half-pendant also because the third guard could've been the Shrine guard had the team entered the Spider's Lair. We know that there was a temple guard in the Spider's Lair because when Shawn exits the temple, you can the headdress of the temple guard and he tries to avoid stepping on the temple guard too.

I am going to watch more season 1 episodes and see if I can spot anymore.

Nice catch. I think that's enough proof for me to add it to the least. Now to watch some other S1 runs to see if other half pendants were hidden in the same place.

I cannot find the half pendant in The Golden Cup of Belshazzar for the life of me. It might've been hiding in the Swamp, but the video quality of this episode isn't that good. I wonder if it's possible for the half pendant to be hiding in the coffin inside the Tomb of the Ancient Kings.

That's the problem with season one. The pendants are so obscure that its impossible to spot them in the temple. The only way you could figure out where they are at is by braking down the temple guard location.

Like "Elizabeth the I's Golden Ship" for example -- Both players ran into 3 temple in four rooms, yet the half-pendant is no where in site. Kirk told them that the half-pendant is located somewhere in the temple, but I definitely don't see it. That is how hard the season one runs are.

I think I found something very interesting in The Missing Eye of David. Could this be convincing enough?

See that white peg circled in red? That might be the half pendant, or at least what it's possibly hanging from.

Another convincing (?) pic:

This is proof that the white is NOT a part of the wall painting in the background.

Now compare that to The Applewood Amulet of Emiliano Zapata:

No white peg, and this was another 1 1/2 pendant run (half pendant was on the Medusa's Lair actuator in the pit).

Another pic of that run:

White peg missing.

Is this convincing enough?

If the red boxes are making it more difficult to see, then watch the videos yourself to see what I mean. Just observe that area carefully.

[The Silver Monkey]

Interesting thought, but wouldn't you be able to see the half pendant through the railing if that was where it was?

That's a good question. Maybe the producers velcroed the half pendant to the vertical part of the railing so that way the viewers wouldn't be able to see it.

[PurpleParrot319]

I have another pic from The Missing Eye of David. The thing in the middle of the red square, could that be the half pendant? I know that in the second pic I posted earlier that looks like a leafy branch of some sort, but still, the half pendant could've been hanging there the entire time. What do you think?

I'm still convinced it was on an actuator in the Cave of Sighs in that case, just because I can't think of another spot on the path that would possibly be visible to the players, but not us.  It wouldn't make sense for players to have to go out of their way just to get a half-Pendant.

As for "The Missing Eye of David," I still think the half-Pendant was on an actuator then.  I see what you're trying to circle, PP319, but it doesn't even look big enough to be the actual pendant.

[The Red Jaguars]

I think the Missing Eye of David half-pendant had to be on one of the inactive actuators like TAW said. We just don't see it because all the shots of the room are either blurry or don't show the whole room. I think if it was sitting next to Medusa's head than Emily would've saw it.

Also, I need to go back and watch Elizabeth I's Golden Ship again and pay attention to the Cave of Sighs actuator.

Where is the half pendant in The Sacred Ring of Sultan Suleiman? I can't find it.
