Quest for Fire

Quest for Fire is a recurring challenge in Survivor that originated in and was reused in later seasons.

Description
All tribes will have a raft with a fire cauldron and two torches. Tribes will use the torches to light a series of torches or woks both on land and in the water. All members must have their hands on the raft at all times. The first tribe(s) to reach the finish win(s).

In, the tribes would first cross a dilapidated bridge and pull the raft across the river while keeping their torch lit. The first team to climb to the top of a 30-foot tower and ignite it with their torch wins immunity.

In, as the season is filmed in a desert setting as opposed to a beach, a land variant of the challenge is made. The tribes use carts instead of rafts.

In, the cauldron is on a separate platform.

In, the tribes must start on a floating platform and unclip their raft first. They must then carry the raft while they lit every fire wok they pass through, before they go under a bamboo crawl.

In, after carrying the raft to the shore and light all the torches, one tribe member must open a gate similar to the Jail Break challenge and finally light the bonfire.

History
This challenge was used as the inaugural challenge of  for tribal immunity and reward in the form of 50 waterproof matches. Tagi got an early lead, but lost when Sonja was unable to keep up with her tribe, causing her to fall and be dragged, allowing Pagong to catch up and eventually win the challenge.

In, Ogakor took a slight lead after the bridge and extended it on the river crossing after Rodger got his leg caught in a rope. Once Kucha got to the third section, their raft overturned on their torch, putting it out and disqualifying them. Mitchell lit the fire for Ogakor, giving them immunity.

In, after Ethan and Frank light the first fire towers for their tribes, Boran takes a slight lead. Clarence and Silas both rush to the mountaintop to light their second towers before pressing on. Both tribes struggle as players stumble on both sides on their way to the beach where their third towers are. Shortly after Lex and Frank light their third and final towers, Diane collapses to the ground. This sets Boran back and gives Samburu the lead. Although Boran tries to catch up, Samburu is first to cross the finish line and wins reward and immunity

The was used in  under a different name. The tribes were even until Maraamu dropped their torch in the water, allowing Rotu to win immunity easily.

This challenge was used in  as the first challenge as well for immunity. Saboga struggled early on and was never able to recover. Chapera finished first, and Mogo Mogo finished shortly after in second.

The challenge will re-appear as the first tribal Immunity Challenge in.
