Not to be confused with The Tomb of the Ancient Kings.

The Tomb of the Headless Kings is a room in Olmec's Temple. Here, a contestant must pull the vines to release their "bones" then place the skull on the one of two kings in order to continue onward. If there is a Temple Guard, he usually hides next to the door when the contestant enters the room. Whenever the bones fall onto the ground, a screaming sound is heard. Whenever the skull was placed on the proper king, the king says, "I'm Alive" and glows red.

Notes[]

Jeremy LaCorte from The War Fan of the 47 Rōnin accidentally kicked the door from the Pit of the Pendulum closed, leading to a production error that slowed his partner down.
Casey Schoeffler from The Snow Cone of Mount Kilimanjaro tried to put the skull on the king from the front.
In The Lost Whale Bone of Pytheas, the Temple Guard, instead of exiting through the guard door, exits through the door to the Pit of the Pendulum.
In the original series, this was the last room:
- To feature an artifact that was grabbed but not taken out of the temple in time.
- Where a Temple Guard was encountered.
The Room of the Beloved from the reboot series is similar to this room, as it too contains an objective of getting a skull to its body.
