King Tut's Cobra Staff is the 32nd episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was the twelfth episode to air. Moat CrossingThe moat required the first players to climb across using the knotted ropes overhead, then toss inner tubes across the moat for the second players, who would pull themselves across the water using the rope the inner tubes are attached to. The Red Jaguars were across first, and the Blue Barracudas placed second just a moment later. It took a little longer for the Purple Parrots to get across and hit their gong, and after that it was a bit more of a wait for the fourth team. After a bit of struggling, the Silver Snakes crawled out of the moat and placed fourth, ending the round.
Steps of KnowledgeOne of the most famous archaeologists who ever lived was Howard Carter. When he opened the door to the tomb of King Tutankhamun, there was a warning above the entrance: "Those who disturb the King's resting place shall die." Inside, he saw a room filled with golden objects and a solid gold coffin worth over $1 million. The mummy in the coffin wore a gold mask covered with turquoise and jewels. Carter's men began to remove the priceless objects from the tomb, and the curse took effect immediately. One man got an infected mosquito bite and died within six weeks. Another contracted a cold and died of pneumonia. Some say that the curse was brought on by Carter, but according to legend, it was brought on by a worker who stole King Tut's cobra staff.
Temple GamesThe Purple Parrots are 13-year-old Eusenia, who reads horror stories, and 11-year-old David, who collects comic books (his favorite being Spider-Man 2099). The Blue Barracudas are 13-year-old Joe, who is usually lazy, and 12-year-old Stacy, who also reads horror stores. Build the Pyramid (Climbing Wall)[]They said the pyramid was built by thousands of workers carrying huge blocks of stones. It took them 26 years. Fortunately, Joe and Eusenia get 60 seconds. When Kirk gave the signal, they had to grab a stone, climb up to the first spot and attach them to their walls. Then they had to climb back down, grab another stone climb back up, attach it to the next spot and so on. The first person to place all five stones and come back down or the one that's furthest along in 60 seconds won. Although Joe started off stronger, he had an increasingly harder time scaling the wall, letting Eusenia steadily chug ahead. At the end of 60 seconds, Eusenia had three bricks in place to Joe's two, so the Purple Parrots won the first half Pendant of the day. Tomb of Ramses (Dragon Tunnel)[]The tomb of Tutankhamun was never looted because its entrance was blocked by huge boulders from the tomb of Ramses nearby. Fortunately, the players had to clean the entrance out. Before them stood two tunnels. In front of each entrance, there was a boulder. When Kirk gave the signal, the players had to burrow through the tunnels as quickly as they can, pushing their boulder in front of them. When they get to the other side,they had to turn around and push the boulder back through the tunnel to the other side, and they had to go on like that for 60 seconds. The first player to push the boulder through three times or the one that's furthest along when time was up won. Neither player finished within the time limit, however, Stacy had gone through the tunnel twice within the 60 seconds, while David only made it through once and was working his way back— the boulder seemed to get stuck, as he did not push hard enough. Regardless, Stacy was further along and won the half Pendant of the Life for the Blue Barracudas, tying the score with a half Pendant each. Mummy Wrap (Body Wrap)[]The ancient Egyptians used to wrap their mummies in yards and yards of linen, not unlike the players. So, when Kirk gave the signal, both teams had to turn, one player pulling the linen onto himself while the other unrolled it from his body. The first team to move all the linen from one mummy to the other and back again or the team that's furthest along at the end of 60 seconds won. The game was over very fast, as the Purple Parrots completed the transfer from Eusenia to David and back in just nineteen seconds, winning the full Pendant for themselves. As a result, they won the Temple Games with one-and-a-half Pendants to the Blue Barracudas' half.
Temple RunEusenia began in the Room of the Royal Gongs, where she tried looking for an actuator rather than hitting a gong at first. Shortly after, she made it across the Troubled Bridge and into the Observatory. The door took a while to open after she spun the celestial lights, but once it did, Eusenia went down into the Heart Room, where the first Temple Guard caught her with 2:18 on the clock.
