[SPOILER ALERT] Chapter 4: List of Unanswered Questions

[Agetian]

So, I just beat Chapter 4 and I've found it absolutely astonishing and amazing - truly epic, in all senses of the word. The storyline gets really interesting and strange, mysterious events of epic proportions start to unveil as we come so close to the season finale. If you haven't beaten Chapter 4 yet, do NOT read on and do NOT unlock the spoilers below, your game experience will be seriously spoiled - you've been warned. But for those of you who have already completed Chapter 4, please feel free to propose the discussion of any mysterious or just unclear things you've noticed so far (in Chapter 4 or maybe something from the earlier chapters) that haven't been answered so far in the game, and if you feel like it, propose your theories as to how exactly this or that mystery will get resolved in the end.

My list of unanswered questions so far:

1. What exactly happened at De Singe's lab between De Singe and Morgan? Was De Singe really the one who killed Morgan?
2. What was Morgan's line that Jacques the electric monkey told her something all about?
3. What happened to Morgan's body after Guybrush returned to De Singe's place later?
4. Is Morgan really dead or has she been just seriously injured and then healed, or perhaps, if she was dead, revived by someone?
5. Were LeChuck's words about the Voodoo Lady at least partly true?
6. What role will the Voodoo Lady play in the season finale? Will she prove to be good, evil, or just a neutral mediator seeking to restore balance between the good and the evil, or someone else entirely different? And will we actually learn more about her identity and intentions at the end of ToMI, or will she remain completely mysterious as ever?
7. Did Guybrush really die at the end of Chapter 4?
8. If Guybrush is dead, how will he get revived (if he will get revived of course)?
9. If Guybrush is dead and does not get revived at the very beginning of the season finale, who will we get to start the game as?
10. What has become of De Singe? Is he also dead, having been destroyed in the Vacaylian device, or have we not seen the last of him?
11. Who will be the Pirate God in the season finale?


A less Chapter 4-centric list of things that are just interesting to discuss, in my opinion:

1. What actually did happen to Murray, per Guybrush's question in Club 41? We've seen him descend to the bottom of the sea at the end of Chapter 3. Does that mean we're not going to see him again in ToMI, or will he return somehow in the season finale? Will the chest be found by someone, perhaps?..
2. Was LeChuck ever truly good in any of the previous chapters, or was he actually always intent on getting his zombie/undead/demon powers back, even when he appeared so human and harmless?
3. So far we've seen Guybrush, Elaine, LeChuck, Voodoo Lady, Murray, and Stan (did I miss anyone?..) among the returning characters from previous Monkey Island Games. Will we see any other classic Monkey Island characters in the season finale? If so, who will it be?
4. What will be the places of action of the season finale? Will we see the famous Monkey Island(TM) that appeared in the end of every Monkey Island game so far, will we see any familiar old islands, and will we see any new islands (except for Monkey Island if it's going to appear in ToMI), or has the place of action pretty much been set by now?
5. Will we finally learn at least something about the famous Secret of Monkey Island(TM)?


It'll be interesting to hear your opinions, guys! Also, I can't wait to play the finale and learn more about those things above... hopefully at least most of them will be resolved at the end of the game!

I'm personally curious if we get to see De Cava again. I feel that he and the Voodoo Lady should talk things out, if that's the very least she can do. He might have been bananas from the very beginning, but she has done him wrong too. And I'd be happy to see a reunion.

Second thing, I'm curious about Guybrush's hand. What role will it play in the final unravelling?

[pluizig]

What exacly was written in the diary, incriminating the Voodoo Lady?

[Novotnus]

1. What does Voodoo Lady's vision about Morgan means?
2. What happened to the rowboat in the dock after Guybrush's trial?
3. What's the role of all those monkeys of Montevideo?

[feverfew]

I can answer your second question: it got sunk. If you go to the very end of the pier, you can click it.

[Novotnus]

Well, that makes my Morgan-escape-in-the-rowboat theory false... but then again - who sunk it?

[feverfew]

Guybrush says it's been a bunch of poxed pirates. Probably

[Novotnus]

It's unlikely - they seem to act brutaly when something makes them angry - like offending the court for W.P., asking about glass letters suply for the glassblower or name calling the cat for Hemlock

[Irishmile]

didn't someone post a screencap of the boat already?

[Novotnus]

If so, I must've missed it.

[capnpadfoot]

What I'm wondering is what is the motivation between LeChuck's actions during all of the episodes. Was he always evil and just pretended to be good? Was he the one who killed Morgan? If so, why?

Also, why did he turn himself in to save Guybrush? Was he just waiting for Guybrush to activate La Esponja before he killed him? I get that he was trying to get Guybrush to trust him so that he wouldn't be on his guard, but you could argue that he had already more or less achieved this.

I can't wait to find out

[Novotnus]

LeChuck was near the Voodoo Lady, so there is a little chance she made him go after Guybrush or told him something that made him do what he did. The other option is that he was acting all along waiting for a chance to get his voodoo back

[Ignatius]

I got some questions, probably silly ones:

1-Is Winslow (and other pirates) cured form the pox, although being out of the Floatsam winds reach?

2-The monkey in the Morgan scene did have not a metal-magnetic tail! http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/...068#post219068

[KevinSig]

To answer this question:

2. What was Morgan's line that Jacques the electric monkey told her something all about?

I think it was to explain that Guybrush's hand was the cause of DeSinge's immortality. That's the only reason I could think of, as to how Guybrush knew this about the hand in the finale.

As to:

8. If Guybrush is dead, how will he get revived (if he will get revived of course)?

I suspect that Guybrush's poxed hand will get reattached & bring him back to life.

La Esponja sucked the Pox. The hand runs on the Pox. No Pox, the hand is dead. No brining back to life.

Am I the only one who's wondering how Jacques could have told her anything in the first place? He's a monkey...

[Irishmile]

Maybe Morgan actually is a monkey turned woman by means of voodoo... some people said she looks like a monkey and now she speaks monkey......

If it were as simple as that, Telltale would've shown the hand getting the pox removed. I suspect that somehow the hand will retain the Pox. Somehow, I think it will have somehow gotten sheltered from the sponge's effect.

I Heard somewhere, that chapter 5 will take place in the pirate underworld, the land of the dead. This would provide a link to Monkey Island, given that there is a portal to Hell there.

The Voodoo Lady would never have told LeChuck how to feed La Esponja, so he needed Guybrush to do it. I think it was all part of his grand plan to get his voodoo back.
Plus, by turning himself in, he was able to get the The Voodoo Lady imprisoned too - one less obstacle in his path.

I'm thinking that it hid under one of those glass domes, but that's just a total guess.
