| Notes | |
| ● | The cameraman was Jean-Yves Lemener (instead of Graham Berry), the video recordist was Bruno Delattre (instead of Frank Meyburgh) and the pilot was Quentin (instead of Keith Thompson). |
| 1 | Kerta Gosa is the courthouse. |
| 2 | The helicopter has to land some distance away from the ravine where the tombs are located, so Annie has to frantically ask a bunch of non-English-speaking locals whether anyone can give her a lift. She manages to borrow a motorbike from a reluctant local, which takes her part of the way there. She then descends a long flight of steps, which takes her into the mausoleum area where she has to don a sacred yellow belt before entering. The treasure she finds is a shell. |
| 3 | The helicopter does not land for this clue and Anneka just has to count the number of stone figures pouring water into the baths. There are six. |
| 4 | Anneka has to take the peace offering and place it before the sacred bronze gong/drum, known as “The Moon of Pejeng”. |
| 5 | The necklace was located on a small statue of a hippopotamus on the banks of the water, near the temple. |
