Mysterious Cities of Gold - S3E10 - Sundagatt

Love the design of Sundagatt.

Well, apparently I was way off with the name of the city. The only thing you get from googling that name is to the show itself, so they probably made it up themselves. Anyway, it turns out that the crowns for some reason enables the wearer to with their mind use the orichalcum blocks to move around as shown by Zia taking over creating different shapes and figures. Sancho and Pedro fights over who is able to use one to carry out as many blocks as possible. I can't help but notice that they are severely less capable than Esteban and Zia. Esteban runs off to get Tao who have hid himself on the Thallios, crying over his feelings of self-doubt. Esteban comforts him and have concocted a plan by taking the pearl that the daiymons emblem was attracted to. On their way back they find a room filled with the orbs from the beginning of the season and a opposite waterfall were the water went up instead. Tao figures out that it is some kind of escape pods (foreshadowing).

Mendoza, Sancho and Pedro finds a throne room and while the others goof off, Mendoza approaches it and discovers two new medallions for Esteban and Zia to pick up. Meanwhile Zia has another premonition of the erupting volcano and she meets up with Tao and Esteban. and tries to get the others. Mendoza tells them about the medallions so she goes after them while Tao, Sancho and Pedro runs for the Thallios. Mendoza tries to get Zia, but gets one of the water lanterns over him. Esteban helps him out and then goes after Zia. Zia have picked up the two medallions and somehow activated some kind of holographic sphere and is then picked up by Esteban. Mendoza swims badly wounded toward the Thallios and is drawn into it by Pedro. Thinking that the others have drown Mendoza takes over the controls of the ship and tries to escape while the city is walled off again. An intense escape scene later and they are at the surface. The music, the feeling of sadness and the use of the sound effects were amazing. As they looked back at the city walled of thinking the others have drowned, the sound effects cuts off and just the sad music plays, until the final rock entombeds the city once again with a single crash. LOVE IT.

Of course, since they already hinted about it, Zia and Esteban escaped in the escape pods. Zia have now figured out that the medallions are encoded with information and their mission is to get the final piece. For what end is unknown. Also, they notice a ship approaching so they enter the Thallios and dive towards the volcano to pick up the condor and who is on that ship if it isn't Gaspard. Pretty funny sequence. On the island they see Ambrosius ship and confronts him. He grab the crown from Sancho and Esteban hands over the pearl (which apparently is part of his plan). Ambrosius tells him that it isn't over so he will keep Esteban's father as leverage. And then he points his dartbow on Mendoza with the intent of finally get rid of his greatest obstacle.

Amazing episode. The documentary was about the volcano again and its latest eruption, as well as some of the precautions the area have for new eruptions, like a evacuation drill with ferries, children wearing hardhats and so on.
