The fact that this collaboration is such a critical part of the storyline and that it has been planned for over 2-3 years is absolutely mindblowing. I'm just speechless

My first thought was LeChuck. He's got a history of disguises and the green "zombie" look as opposed to the the Pirate Lord's spectral blue-green color.

at this point this guy is a rare employee that rare doesn’t know about

Pretty sure when the Fake Pirate Lord said “we” he meant himself and us helping him, not the Dark Brethren or whoever he’s working with.

I thought it was Lechuck, it makes sense and it would actually give our characters a reason on why we have to find Guybrush because we will probably need him to help us stop Lechuck and get the sword of souls back

I love how savage falcore was to the non existing ending for the mystery

They did say the Legend of Monkey Island would have a link to the Flameheart story. I would love to see the Servent of Flame confront Le Chuck. "The only person I hate more than your father is that blasted..." Guybrush falls from the ceiling screaming. "...THREEPWOOD!"

I love how this all fits together so well, but I still hope that the cap'n won't just be a collab with another franchise.

When he said "I hope you enjoy clearing up the mess we've made" I thought he was talking about himself and the player

It could be duke, considering we haven't heard from him, and rats are the symbol of the bilge rats. It also makes sense how he would know so much about the NPCs from every outpost.

That actually was the first adventure I did, I probably should've done the heart of fire tall tale before that

The "We" hes refereing to is himself and yourself as "we" just helped him

Im out of town for the entirety of the adventure so getting the lore is great!

Journal near the hull of the burning blade by Anvil and Hammer say exactly that Flameheart is doing this to insult Pendragon.

What made me suspicious about this pirate lord was his mannerism / the fact there was a rowboat near him when he can just teleport

If LeChuck is the captain and wrote those letters to the dark bretheren why is his handwriting different in the new adventure?

Another small key of evidence could be that the pirate lord says (paraphrasing) "damn, they got away. This compass isn't pointing anywhere, they probably aren't even in the sea of thieves anymore"

Imo there's only one thing missing that would confirm that the Cap'n has returned, the ashen dragon.

1:55 You can find a journal from two people who iirc call themselves Anvil and Hammer noting they're working on reconstructing the Burning Blade and they say something like "I came up with the idea to use the Blackwych for the Burning Blade's crucial parts, which makes it even more or a hit to Pendragon - Hammer (not that we had much of a choice though) - Anvil" I spotted it next to the two barrels almost directly below the figurhead as I was doing the adventure. Back to the other aspects though, this is a very interesting theory. I saw some people saying it was Flameheart but that just didn't make sense to me since we literally take parts from his own ship's figurehead. My two theories were 'H' from the hoarders hunt since the promo work hinted at him having green eyes or Pendragon. Apart from the green eyes though that was where my theory for 'H' ended, but I felt Pendragon's still held some weight. The green eyes do match that of the portrait in the Blackwych's captain's quarters, not to mention the rat in there which doesn't seem to have much of an explanation as to why it's there. I also thought it could be Pendragon because of the pocket watch, to me the only one who would realistically know who had it and that Olivia likely wouldn't be willing to part with it made me wonder if it was him. There's also the dialogue about the sword, other than Le Chuck (as you've suggested) or Flameheart (who was ruled out the moment we took parts from his ship) I can't exactly see anyone who would need to find the sword of souls or be "searching all this time" for it, other than it's original owner.. Pendragon. It certainly is a bit of a stretch but I'd be willing to say there's a chance it's either Pendragon or Le Chuck.

I honestly hated that they gave up the deception from the beginning. We saw it coming a mile away. After releasing Flameheart, we would never have fallen for it again. Makes me feel like my pirate is stupid.

Maybe it's just the Siren Queen again 🤔

I love how you switch your theory of the Cap'n being LeChuck instead of Hook without addressing all the evidence that made us think it was Hook in the first place.

Here is my really dumb crazy theory but what if the imposter is Pendragon? We went to Madame Olivia to get HIS compass, we go to Shipwreck Bay where HE was banished in his own prison. We go to the Burning Blade where we break a part of the ship, the ship of the man who HE freed and was banished for. We can also find a rat in HIS ship where he laid trapped for a long time. We then followed a compass to HIS sword. He then says “I hope you enjoy clearing up the mess we made!” Which could imply to how Pendragon entrusted the trust in us and how all of us chose the wrong answer (in his point of view). This adventure was about Pendragon. Now you might say “but the adventure wasn’t that long ago! Pendragon couldn’t have turned evil in that time!” Time works differently in the SotD. For us it was a few months, but for him it could be another eternity. What if while the Dark Brethren was looking for the cure to the curse. They found Pendragon, showed him the Sea of Thieves and what that he was forgotten of. Maybe along their search Pendragon may have learned of a skill that allows him to shapeshift. I don’t 100% believe in this theory and would much rather it be Duke than Pendragon, but I still think it an option for the imposter

I figured "The mess we've made" was just him referring to himself and you, as the Pirate who did his dirty work.

I understand Lechuck, because in the orb teaser with the imposter and vault Flameheart Jr. talks about that legend rotting in his prison. Which could be a point to Lechuck. But I really like the idea of Duke. He is the weakest of the group. He doesn’t have much going for him in this life. When Flameheart Jr. said “we have a new Duke in the making” he could be referring to Duke changing, becoming more powerful. The Burning Blade was also in this adventure which he would have been on. All in all I guess it’s fine if it’s Lechuck, but I would love to see Duke have something special for him, because right now Duke has is no threat.

I had theory about the the sus pirate lord, to be lechuck because he has the power to shapeshift.

i actually got goosepumps at the end. Awesome video

Excuse me. It is a beautiful sunny summer day and I’m outside and you had no right to give me goosebumps lol

This was my theory. It just makes sense with everything revealed in the adventure. I also found it fun that I immediately knew that this pirate lord was an imposter. It was very funny going around knowing I am working for an imposter

Another fun fact that the last page where the fake pirate lord has practiced his name writing skills. The Great Pirate Lord is actually the letters of how Lechuck signs his letters G.P.L or The Ghost Pirate Lechuck. Something fun me and my crew noticed.

great video got some insane skills on them edits lol

Incredibly good call on him being the captain I'm guessing, but when he says "we" I think he means him and the player Also yeah he's totally lechuck, I called it at the end of the adventure thanks to falcore's video lol

Thank you for being the only one not pretending to be surprised by this

I bet it’s Duke since he’s got a rat tattoo and we kept seeing the mysterious rat throughout the adventure.

Something I noticed that totally helps this theory, at the end of the adventure the real pirate lord says the fake has gone too far for the compass to work, some like like... and I believe he's talking about the sea of the damned, and that being where the monkey Island tales will take us I totally believe this theory

If Chuck is the "Captain" it just a sad day. I hope the Captain is an original character, New and fresh.

this reminds me of the evil pirate lord story that little kid made lol

7:13 Not only that, but in Tales of Monkey Island, that is entirely his goal, to tear a path between the living and the dead world so he could use La Sponge Grande to siphon voodoo energy straight from the source and to use it to become all powerful. That said we also got the story of Return to Monkey Island which just had that whole chest thing.

the subscribe at the end got me XD

Thank you for your videos Captain Falcore!!!

I don't think lechuck is the fabled captain but just working with the dark brotherhood for some reason or another we've yet to find out

A rat? The ghost/zombie/demon pirate LeChuck disguised as a rat!

Omg if he is the captain, then I really hope in the future we see more monkey island like quests as a means to getting treasure or I'm tall tales

this is unrelated to the content of the video, but your videos are always so well-edited. it's like watching a mini movie.

The clue that gave it away for me was his signature in the book

Checks out, LeChuck transforms into the pirate lord during the tall tale mocking the real Ramsey

I agree with you Falcore. It does seem like that. Only time and tide will tell the true tale. For dead men tell no tales. Or do they?

Me and my crewmate were joking that at the end of the adventure there was going to be a FLAMEHEART WINS button with sticky note over it saying pirate lord wins

Not gonna lie, there’s absolutely no reason for Lechuck to be the impostor. What would Lechuck want with the sword of souls? And how would he know of the pirate lord and his connection to Pendragon? Furthermore, I believe that the legend of monkey island trilogy is going to be isolated from the rest of sea of thieves lore. The most they could and would combine the storylines is with a very slight and short appearance such as Davy Jones for a time being a member of the Dark Brethren, before shortly being defeated. TL;DR, Lechuck has no reason to want the sword of souls, and monkey island is isolated from SoT

Rare: write that down, write that down

Lechuck baybeeeeeeeeeee

i think once the burning blade is made a large fight happens then flame heart talks to the pirate lord about peace and the dark brethern with the captain are spotted at the devils roar and a huge fight breaks out with pirate lord and flamheart fightin the captian togeather

Cool man I love the story of sea of thieves and this looks very interesting

i already knew he was the captain! was obvi from the start ngl 😂

After the tall tale release this theory kinda makes sense since we see the sword with him

So if they're rebuilding the Burning Blade at shipwreck bay (to be the Reapers flagship), I wonder if the half-built ship in the drydock of New Golden Sands is going to serve as the flagship for the good guys (whether Athenas, Hunters Call, etc.)? 🤔

My guess is LeChuck

Dropping the kegs again Falcore!

I'm hoping the corrupted sword of souls is in some sort of in-between state. That it's only just become corrupted and will warp later into something more interesting

I was thinking it might be Duke, as in the room with the sword 2 things stand out to me. 1) there's a hat and eyepatch hanging next to the door, and Duke needs an eyepatch now. 2) everything in that room that's examinable, the prompt is "Examine Artefact" not "Artifact"..... Duke wasn't the brightest, but it's a really.....strange choice for the devs and makes me question whether it would be LeChuck or anything monkey island related. Idk, am I reading too much into this?

I do think the imposter is LeChuck, but i don't think LeChuck is the captain. If he's related to the dark whatever he must be just another member, like Davy Jones. I do really think the captain is captain hook, like you pointed in a video by the marks in the table.

as always captain falcore is big brain

The only reason I don't think Le Chuck is the Capt. is that I feel like Flameheart's former captain wouldn't be referred to as "another Duke in the making", but I could be wrong.

IMO the imposter is what the athena blessing should have looked like where the cloths are affecting and there's no sparkles

jeez u scared me at the end and by accident i just pressed subscribe -.-

First

the SUBSCRIBE at the end xD

imagine more pirates from more medias entering the sea of thieves like fortnite with your infinites cameos, but only for pirates, if the world is shadered and the world is open for others "dimensions" this is very hype and with the team of writers that sea of thieves have i can even imagine

Despite hating The Game, thanks to the players, i keep watching your videos cause i love the story

The talking dog! Im looking for the talking dog!

The image on the letter has swords and LeChuck's symbol on the hat has bones tho. I wouldnt say that this has any meaning

It can't be lechuk or whatever his name is spelled. His eyes are red and the rat has green eyes. I figured it has to be related to the dark brethren. My idea of it being Duke may still stand but the voice throws that idea away in the trash. I also doube Lechuk is the cap'n....he was in the lore before monkey island was a thing.

The Capn is obviously Capn Crunch 😤

I feel la chuck could definitely be the captain, it honestly makes way more sense then Captain Hook.

I do think that your theory has merit, but how could the Capt'n that was mentioned in books and as a core piece of Pre-SOT lore be a main villain in a lucasart game?

Falcore doesn’t predict the lore… *he is the lore*

I thought it has something to do with the gold hoarder since all the rats have his eyes

Well, this aged like wine.

this makes me think

SUBSCRIBED! 😆

Captain Falcore is correct. The imposter is LeChuck (I have 100% the tall tale so I know for sure)

I think Fake PL's line of "the mess WE made" refers to him and US.

Aged like wine

Why does this make so much sense?

WHAT IF THE CAP’N IS NOT FROM MONKEY ISLAND, BUT RATHER A CERTAIN CRUNCHATIZED CAPTAIN?! PLOT TWIST?!?!?!?!?!

I still hope we eventaully get a Peter Pan cross over.

I think chuck is working for the brethren so that they can fully open the gate way for the cap’n I thin he’s a skeleton that’s taller than any skeleton or Ashen lords And I believe his flag ship will be sailing through And that it’s size will rival all ships Hell if hook joins maybe he will be converted to a skeleton and help the cap’n Plus who doesn’t love a unique character rather than hook being tha cap’n It feels more likely

once the adventure started I knew from the get go the pirate lord was a fake, it was quite fun though.

I don't know if anyone has seen this but I was at shipwreck bay the other day and I saw the rat with the glowing eyes on a ship there I wasn't able to record it but I was wondering if anyone else knew about it

Nobody else feel like that last line from the fake pirate lord sounded like Pendragon? I agree with your theory but did the adventure first and immediately thought it sounded like Pendragon. Might just be the same voice actor sounding similar but...

If it is Lechuck that would be awesome

Did anyone else knew that in a he first tall tail in the pirates life it was referenced but the ship was broken

Its clearly blind joe in the pirate tavern

And the real Pirate Lord says that the sword may have travelled far beyond the Sea of Thieves. So the theory might be true

i just found the rat running in the bar

I thought it was Duke because he can't write well and on the last page of the book he was trying to write the pirate lords signature

I think by we he’s referring to the player and himself, as we helped him

i do think the shapeshifter is luchuck and that luchuck will be affiliated with the dark brethren but i do not think he is there leader becuse i think that is still cpt hook

45 mins my @$$. I couldn't figure out where to go at the tavern 😂
