For their Speed Bump, Eric & Rona would be blindfolded and had to drink a cup of traditional Indonesian herbal concoction, known as jamu. After removing their blindfolds, they had to search among several bottles for one that held the same herbal concoction that they drank before they could continue racing.
In this leg's first Roadblock, one team member had to tightrope walk 160 feet (49 m) above the opening of Goa Jomblang. Then, in the middle of the tightrope, they had to climb down a rope ladder to retrieve their clue beneath them. Once they had retrieved their clue, they had to ascend back and return to be reunited with their partner before they could continue racing. Should the team member drop the clue or fall off from the tightrope, they had wait for their turn before they could continue the task over again.
In this leg's second Roadblock, one team member, regardless of who performed the previous Roadblock, had walk around the holiest inner zone of the temple compound while memorising the names and locations of the Hindu deities inside the temple. Then, they would be given the map of the temple compound and had to correctly label all the locations of the Hindu deities by their names to receive their next clue.
Additional tasks
After the second Roadblock, teams participated in the traditional Yogyakarta archery of Jemparingan Mataraman, whereby each team member had to hit a bull’s eye target with an arrow while sitting down to receive their next clue.
At Alun-alun Selatan, teams had to find their next clue, attached in one of the cycling car, known as odong-odong. Then, teams had to convince two locals to join them to take a ride on an odong-odong around the town square to receive their next clue. Then, they would have to ride again on the odong-odong to Ndalem Ngabean in order to reach the Pit Stop.
There was an unused Yield this leg that was not aired.
