Ep 17. The Great Condor

In the seventeenth episode of The Mysterious Cities of Gold, titled The Great Condor, the journey of Esteban, Zia, and Tao leads them to the mountains where they find the Great Condor, a giant bird that rules the skies. They arrive at the place after several attempts to cross the mountainous terrain of South America.

Once they reach the top, they find the golden city with a black lake. However, the condor, ruler of the skies, captures one of their men, Kokapetl, and they must find a way to rescue him. As they plan the mission, they come across a group of people who claim to be the guardians of the Great Condor.

The guardians agree to help Esteban and his friends to rescue Kokapetl, but only under one condition: they must undergo three tests that will prove their worthiness of being the bearers of the solar seal. The first test consists of crossing a chasm on a rope bridge while carrying the weight of their friends.

In the second test, they must retrieve a gem that lies at the bottom of the black lake, which is guarded by an enormous serpent. The third and final test involves climbing a steep cliff, which they must do while carrying a large rock and holding on to each other.

Once they complete the three tests, the guardians give Esteban and his friends the solar seal and teach them how to use it. With the seal in their hands, they launch a daring rescue operation to free Kokapetl from the Great Condor's claws.

However, the Condor proves to be a fierce adversary. It unleashes a ferocious attack on Esteban and the others, using its enormous body and powerful talons to strike at them from above. Esteban must summon all his courage and use every trick he knows to defeat the giant bird and rescue their friend.

In the end, Esteban and his friends succeed in their mission, and they return to the guardians with Kokapetl, who is unharmed. They say goodbye to their new friends and set out on their journey, with the knowledge that the solar seal will help them on their quest to discover the mysteries of the cities of gold.
