Stone Soldiers is a challenge introduced in series 7.
Series 7[]
Description[]
Stone Soldiers is the fourth and final event inside the Blasted Mountain, and the final event before The Last Stand in series 7. The way out is being guarded by three Demons, who, as Raven would say, "are being controlled be a power greater than yours" (a.k.a. Nevar). Littered at the warriors' feet are the remains of three soldiers, all turned to stone and shattered eons ago. The warrior's only hope of ever getting out alive is to rebuild their soldier (including giving them a long-shafted axe). When complete, the respective soldier of the winning warrior will shoot a beam of light from his eyes (caused by their "latent energy", according to Raven) at the Demon opposite them, killing him and allowing the warrior to run out and win himself one gold ring; the other Demon(s) will wake up and shoot their fatal gaze at the warrior(s) left behind, making them vanish in a blaze of red and black.
In the final week, due to there only being two warriors left, the two Demons were flanking the outer exits of Blasted Mountain; the middle exit was covered by what looked like a landslide.
Ring Count[]
In finals week, Versad won himself two gold rings, as opposed to the one.

Description[]
Stone Soldiers is recreated in Series 8, in a part of the forest (following the removal of Blasted Mountain with the move to Aviemore), which doesn't really make sense as the Demons are not guarding anything, so Raven and the warriors could just go round a tree to get past them. The three remaining warriors must rebuild their stone soldier in the same manner as in series 7.
Ring Count[]
First warrior to kill their Demon wins two gold rings, whilst second gets one. Third loses a life.
Series 10[]

Description[]
After being absent in Series 9, Stone Soldiers returns to the Series 7 format (of there only being one winner), but still being outdoors.
Ring Count[]
Three gold rings are awarded this time around.
Series 11 and onward[]
Description.[]
In the revival series, Stone Soldiers follows the same format as previous series. The statues (which are now identical, as opposed to those of previous series having unique designs) are rebuilt two at a time, with one warrior building each. Sometimes, all four warriors in a heat attempt it together.
Ring Count[]
The pair who finish their statue first gain one ring.
