The three episodes documented their participation in the quests, along with some heartbreaking eliminations.
Quest 2: Five-on-Five Maze Conquest
This quest continued from the previous episode, with a few more teams left to compete. In this quest, the teams had 15 minutes to move supplies from the supply depot to three capture zones within the maze. Each capture zone had a scale, and the team that could tip the most scales in their direction would win.
Check out which five teams won this quest, each led by their team leader:
- Hong Beom-Seok: Gibson, Kang Cheong-Myeong, Seol Young-Ho, Park Ha-Yan

Quest 2.5: Survival Match
With the 25 contestants winning the second quest, the remaining 25 eliminated participants were called into the ring for a survival match. Meanwhile, the winning contestants looked upon the ones competing in this quest. The quest took place over four rounds. The participants had ten pillars surrounding them. They had to catch hold of a sign on each pillar until each round was over. With each round, the number of pillars was reduced. The contestants who controlled the symbol in each pillar moved to the next round.
Only one contestant holding the symbol tight was considered for each pillar. By the fourth round, two contestants competed to control one pillar. Ultimately, Korean amateur wrestler Jung Ji-Hyun won the quest. He got a chance to re-enter the competition and chose four of his teammates to compete in the team challenge further.
Jung Ji-Hyun chose Amotti, Lee Jang-Kun, Kim Jee-Hyuk, and Kim Min-Su as his teammates. Fellow contestants felt he had selected one of the strongest teams in the competition.
Quest 3: Team Delegate Match
Ahead of the third quest, the teams had to compete in a pre-quest mission of pull-ups. Each team had their team leader and a fellow member do pull-ups for a minute each. The team with the highest number will choose two other teams to compete against. The third quest was a team delegate match, in which the teams were divided into two groups of three.
Jung Ji-Hyun and Amotti secured their pre-quest win and chose to battle against Lee Won-Hee and Andre Jin’s teams. Meanwhile, Hong Beom-Seok, Kim Dong-Hyun, and Lee Jae-Yoon’s teams became the second group.
The third quest resembled an underground mine and took place over four rounds. The team worked in duos to transport almost two tons of cargo into the minecarts to the end of the first round. One contestant followed the same pattern for the second round to transport 1.2 tons of cargo. The third and fourth rounds involved a mid-air cargo transit, with the contestants participating in duos and singles for their teams.
For each round, the first place received three points, the second earned two, and the third earned one point. The episodes only documented the first group’s competition over four rounds. Lee Won-Hee and his team, including Park Da-Sol, Ham Young-Jin, Lim Soo-Jin, and Kim Yeong-Chan suffered an elimination.
Jung Ji-Hyun and Andre Jin’s Teams succeeded and moved forward to the fourth quest. The former’s team members comprised of Amotti, Lee Jang-Kun, Kim Jee-Hyuk, and Kim Min-Su. Meanwhile, Andre Jin’s included Chang Yong-Heung, Park Woo-Jin, Power Who Yami, Jung You-In.
