Carrying the cumbersome ladder, the Pirates make their way up a steep path into the mountains in search of a wrecked longboat which contains their next clue. The Black Crew delegates Joy to be their directional person, but their attempt at putting her in front so she can lead with her map doesn't work. Joy has trouble keeping up with her crew and surprises everyone when she asks for a drink of water. "When you're out there and somebody's dragging behind that much and somebody wants to stop and have water, I'm like you don't need water," Jay complains. "You need loot, you need treasure. Keep moving." The Black Crew gets to the longboat first and retrieves their next clue, which lets them know that they must continue into the jungle and find a pair of masts in the trees where they will hoist their ladders and untie a key from a tricky knot.
Climbing is Key
The Black Crew heads into the jungle and locates a mast, but the Red Crew starts to catch up. As the Black Crew hoists their ladder up on the tree's mast, the Red Crew does the same on another tree. Azmyth climbs up the ladder and starts to untie the knot while Louie climbs for the Red Crew. Louie struggles to find the key, which is right near his foot. By the time he finds it, Azmyth is already descending his ladder with key in hand.
Once both keys are retrieved, the Crews head down a narrow ravine in search of a footbridge, which contains the clues that will lead the Pirates to the Bosun's treasure. As the Black Crew treks through the mud, Christa yells at Joy, telling her to go faster or she'll get a Black Spot. When the Black Crew climbs up another rope ladder that scales the side of a steep cliff, Ben admires Christa's athleticism. "I'm crazy impressed with Christa, she's a soldier," he says. "She looks like a Barbie doll on steroids, but she never stops."
Dangerous Bridge to Gold
The Black Crew reaches the footbridge first, but the Red Crew isn't far behind. As everyone makes their way across the precarious, shaky rope bridge, Ben discovers words on the boards by his feet that make up their next clue. Jay deciphers them and realizes that the clue is "Off the bow portside treasure."
