The first player from each team would cross the moat by pulling himself or herself hand-over-hand on the overhead rope; once they were across, their partner would toss them a bundle of rope which their teammate would catch. Once the first player had the rope, they would coil it once around the base of the pole and brace theirself so their partner could cross in the same method (except they would walk on the underwater lower rope).

Steps of Knowledge
Long ago, high in the Andes Mountains, two royal brothers argued over who should become the next Great Inca. Their names were Huáscar and Atahualpa. Their argument grew so fierce it turned into a terrible civil war that lasted five years. Atahualpa finally defeated his brother, but the war left the Empire very weak. Soon after, the Spanish explorer Pizarro came to Cusco, the capital city of the ancient Incas, and defeated Atahualpa. Pizzaro offered to release Atahualpa from prison if his people would fill one room full of gold objects, and two rooms full of silver. Even though the Incas paid the ransom, the treacherous Pizzaro did not set Atahualpa free. The Spaniards melted down the gold and silver and sent it back to Spain, except for a small statue of a golden jaguar, which was lost…until now.

The Inca people had to fill one room with gold and two rooms with silver in order to set Atahualpa free. Chris and Greg had to bring their share of ransom to the top of the mountain. When Kirk gave the signal, they had to grab a gold brick, stick it to his helmet, and climb the palace using the ropes before them. When at the top, they then had to drop off the brick head back down, and repeat the process with a silver brick. The first player to get one gold brick and two silver bricks to the top or the player with the most bricks at the top in sixty seconds won. Greg made it back down with all three bricks at the top with fifteen seconds left before Chris was only able to get two at the top.
Incan Canoes (Water Chute)[]
The Spanish were impressed by canoes the Indians used to navigate lakes and rivers with, because they were so light and fast. Like a canoe, Tracey and Kelly had to go down on the sluice belly down, and slide as far as they can. After stopping, they will run back and slide again. The player who slid the farthest at the end of sixty seconds won. Kelly made it the farthest, awarding her a half pendant of life.
Atahualpa + Huascar = A Good Team (Velcro Ball Toss)[]
Atahualpa and Huascar were mighty Incan warriors, and they would have made a good team in this game if they set their differences aside. The male players were on a wall with Velcro shirts while their partners would throw the Velcro balls onto their shirts. The player with the most balls on her partner's shirt at the end of sixty seconds won. The Blue Barracudas won the game and the full pendant after landing thirteen balls over the Purple Parrots who landed eleven.
Tiebreaker[]
"Was the Inca empire found in North America, South America-?" Tracey rings in and correctly answers South America, sending her and Chris to Olmec's Temple in search of the golden jaguar.

Temple Run
Chris began by entering the Cave of Sighs the wrong way (he tried running into the alcove between the cave entrance and Olmec), and then he took a detour from his bottom path to the Heart Room, where a Temple Guard took his pendant with 2:13 remaining. When the Treasure Room did not open there, he resumed moving along the bottom floor; eventually, he took the Shrine/Well shortcut, only to be captured by the second Temple Guard with 1:24 remaining. Tracey managed to make up for some lost time, and got the monkey statue together and even managed to get the golden jaguar with five seconds remaining, but failed to escape the Temple.
This is the only episode where an artifact was placed in the Treasure Room. In the TV movie adaptation, however, Galileo's Cannonball was featured in the Treasure Room.
