The thrill and adrenaline-pumping show, American Ninja Warrior, brings its twelfth season with Episode 15 titled "Las Vegas National Finals Night 3." This episode marks the final night of the National Finals, where the elite athletes face off in a fierce competition to win the coveted title of "American Ninja Warrior."

The episode begins with the remaining few contestants attempting to tackle the first daunting obstacle, Psycho Chainsaw. This obstacle features a series of spinning chainsaws that each contestant has to maneuver around while maintaining balance and speed. Any misstep could cost the contestants their spot in the race to conquer Mount Midoriyama.

As the contestants progress through the second obstacle, they face the Backwards Somersault, a complex obstacle with four revolving cylinders that contestants must navigate their way through quickly. One slip means a catastrophic fall into the water, and it's game over for the competitor.

The third obstacle, the Warped Wall, has been a regular feature on the show for years, but the stakes are even higher this time. The competitors have to run up the almost vertical ramp and reach the top to hit a red button at the top. This particular wall is even higher than previous ones, measuring at 18 feet, 6 inches. Only the best of the best can make it all the way to the top and hit that button, giving them that much-needed momentum to face the rest of the course successfully.

Next up is the Salmon Ladder, a tough obstacle that requires precise timing and a significant amount of upper body strength. The competitors have to navigate the ladder by jumping from one bar to another until they reach the end, where they must jump from the last bar and hit a button to move on to the next stage.

The fifth obstacle of the course, the Dragonback, is a grueling exercise that separates the best from the rest. It consists of a series of incline platforms that contestants have to hop across, maintaining balance and speed, without falling off and ending their run. With each jump more challenging than the last, the Dragonback is a true test of a competitor's mettle.

The sixth obstacle, the Ultimate Cliffhanger, is one of the toughest obstacles of the course, and the contestants have to bring their A-game to beat it. It consists of a series of small ledges that contestants must grab onto and hop across, ensuring they don't slide off. Any error could mean the end of a runner's bid to conquer Mount Midoriyama and becomes just another unfortunate soul to hit the water below.

In the final challenge, called Mount Midoriyama, the contestants face some of the most challenging obstacles of the entire course, including the Spider Climb and the Vertical Limit. These obstacles require immense upper body strength, persistence, and quick decision-making skills to complete successfully.

As the final few contestants compete in the night's thrilling finale, they push their bodies to the limit and try to conquer the course with every ounce of their strength. Each obstacle becomes more challenging than the last, and the contestants know that making even a single mistake could cost them everything they've worked for.

Throughout the episode, viewers will watch in awe as the competitors exhibit incredible athleticism, strength, and determination, showcasing why they are the best of the best. And at the end of it all, only one will emerge victorious, crowned the season 12 American Ninja Warrior and claiming their spot in the show's history.
