English Bill
Yeah… That’s not what I thought of when I heard “English Bill” either. Maybe it would help if I also explained he is the Duck of Death. Now, after quite a lot of questing in Cool Ranch, I headed over to Boot Hill. (I’ll tell you, that’s not where you want to go for a vacation.)
You have to fight the Duck of Death two times, once on Boot Hill and once on his ship. The first fight is a bit tricky, though me and my friend smashed him to the ground straight away (by pure luck). First, you must interact, or attack, a Basin so you can be Blessed. To indicate you are blessed, halos appear over your entire team. A Basin is a statue with water in the top. There are two Basins in the battle. Once your team has halos, you are free to kill the Duck of Death.
You do have to kill him twice. This is his… uh… I called it a ship, right? This fight there are no Basins, so you are free to attack the Duck as soon as you want. Once you’ve finished that fight, you talk to Tonka, the whole reason you were here in the first place. English Bill had captured Tonka, but now he is freed. Finally, once you’ve finished all of that… You get a badge!
Hooray! Duke of Ducks! Thanks for reading!
A Thirteenth Book? (Part 1)
A war story for book 13…
-Blind Mew
I’m not going to overtly hint about upcoming content, but one thing I can say, though, is that Book 13 is going to be a bit darker that what we’ve done before, and it’s definitely a war story.
As for more story insights, it’s tough to simply extemporize – I do better with specific questions. Making the Pirate101 story has definitely been a learning experience, and very rewarding. I hope to someday assemble a post mortem/dissertation on what we did and how we did it, but i may need to wait till our first main story is finished – we have a long way to go!
So now that we’ve already skyrocketed through four amazing worlds, it seems we’re in for a dark surprise! Even through this short message, you can tell a lot of things. Maybe the book 13 (as in an unlucky number) has to do with a lot of this. I myself have not finished the current storyline, but I look forward to seeing how the threads of fate can be twisted in the next world.
We could be heading anywhere, but the cards seem to be played just right to land us pirates, and maybe even wizards, in the mysterious world of Darkmoor. KingsIsle is continuously bringing up Darkmoor, with it appearing from tall tales to in our very travels.
Madame Vadima also has a strong heritage of Darkmoor, many believe. I’ve also written about Darkmoor, with Darkmoor ship duels in the sun-set skies of Cool Ranch.
Blind Mew also continues,
I must admit though, I am continually tempted to post on the Easter Egg threads. It’s awesome to see so many obscure references appreciated, but there are even more out there…
So even as there are many references to this world, that may be Darkmoor, there are quite a few that we are missing?
I have to leave with a question, as this puzzle remains without a piece, (or without a few pieces as Blind Mew states), but will soon be followed with the answer. I’m very interested to see how this all turns out, and if Darkmoor is actually the world that has been rumored to be released. Also, we do not yet know how a “war story” will be tied into this already interesting chapter to the storyline.

Darkmoor, Here I Come!
Yes, onto the next world of Pirate101! I guess I’m finished with Cool Ranch…
EL TORO! Sorry. Anyway, what do I mean by Darkmoor? I mean… this!
Yes, there’s Darkmoor ships. Sorry I’m behind in the storyline, I need to start up in Pirate101 again. Well this again leads us back to the question; is KingsIsle going to add Darkmoor? I just moored it over when I was fighting these ships. (See what I did there?) So just to clarify, I’m not really in Darkmoor, but I fought some ships. I’ve finished Santo Pollo, and don’t really know where I am in Cool Ranch right now. Sorry for the short post, it was just a storyline refresh from me! 🙂
