The Headstone Quest
 
This quest was supposed to be the second chapter main quest after Black Pearl. Players who finished Black Pearl quest before December 2007 got this quest but it ended on Valentina, the gypsy on Padres. Then Black Pearl boss battle was deactivated and players were unable to finish main quest for months. When Disney reactivated the boss battle this quest was removed.
Here are screenshots of the cutscene when I got this quest from Jack Sparrow after finishing the boss battle.
These screenshots were taken from Live server not Beta.
You can find the audio file of the cutscene in this thread.

Very interesting, any speculation that they could re-add this quest for the next chapter?

Certainly seems interesting, and thanks for sharing the photos.

Sven Osymthe 08-28-2009 10:05 AM

Nice, I remember seeing the old old old thread about this, thank you for reposting :)

swashbuckler II 08-28-2009 01:45 PM

Also to note, there is the full cutscene (audio) in the phase files

Maximvs 08-28-2009 01:55 PM

Wow Iron, been a long time since I've seen those - somehow - I'm feeling older now :D

bartholomew bladeroberts 08-28-2009 02:15 PM

well based on what i've heard and seen it appears they MAY add the quest back

Sarah 08-28-2009 02:54 PM

Thanks for posting these Iron. I was BB ready the day it went down for six months of "maintenence" so I never got to see that scene. Very Cool ;)

Juliana Maria 08-28-2009 02:58 PM

So THATS where Gibbs must say 'rough place Padres...' in that video on DXD. Always wondered about that.

Dr. Zeppers 08-28-2009 03:38 PM

Id heard of that scene a few times, thanks for posting Iron.

I do think its quite possible they put this back into the game, I think they have got alot of stuff back in now, that they originally ripped out in the race to opening to public.

Hard to say, I know the "Kraken" has been a big thing in POTCO, everyone wants to see it in the game. This may have changed their direction some.

Crazypirate 08-28-2009 03:50 PM

I remember that from the first time I completed the Pearl quest so it had to stay in after Dec 07 not sure when it came out but was gone by the time I finished it on my second pirate in the summer of 08.

The Skirata Clan 08-28-2009 04:51 PM

Why does that last image reads Chapter 4?

Dr. Zeppers 08-28-2009 04:55 PM

At the time I think it was planned on being "Chapter 4".

Here are the chapters of "Lore".

Chapter I: Who is Jolly Roger?
Chapter II: A Tale of Two Islands
Chapter III: Rise of the Privateer
Chapter IV: Curse of the Muertos Moon
Chapter V: From the Ashes - The New Port Royal Rises
Chapter VI: EITC - Plots & Rumors
Chapter VII: From the Ashes - A New Tortuga
Chapter VIII: Fiery Winds of Change

Assuming they would not have to redesign things at some point to get back to their original plans (or stall with certain events), the next story chapter would have been IV which is where the redesigns started taking place.

Eliza Creststeel 08-28-2009 05:15 PM

You can HEAR parts of this scene...

Watch the videos on the XD site, the interview with the actor who plays Mr. Gibbs has a clip from that scene!

nitnek 08-28-2009 05:26 PM

It's very bad that they aren't put this chapter in the game... :(

Wait & see :)

edwardburnskull 08-28-2009 07:18 PM

huh? were you not able to talk to Val?

Ironhawk 08-28-2009 07:44 PM

Yes I did talk to Valentina got the reward but then no further quest. It just stopped there.

Some of these we have seen already. We have a new Tortuga and Port Royal. We had that time before the island were remade when all we heard were EITC rumors of The Black Guard. We had the Curse thing for while. Unless they build on the role events and these items this sounded like a great plan. It shows they had stuff planed. It brings hope to me. It makes me feel like they weren't winging it or making it up as they went.

We have seen all of those chapters so far. That is from the official site actually.

What I was trying to say is that the first 3 chapters were likely planned stages, with the next story quest to be chapter 4.

Instead because they had to strip the game to get it online quickly, we ended up with events, which may have been planned for chapter 5 for example... Curse of the Muertos Moon, and then chapters representing the rebuild of the Caribbean getting them back on track to the original plan (like putting everything back in they had to strip out at the start).

Will be interesting to see what number they assign the next story quest chapter in the game, chapter 2? 10? 11? (I suspect Chapter 9 will be the new caves... and/or the Casa Muertos Guild)

combatlizzy 08-29-2009 08:17 PM

Great screen shots...Shame the quest was deleted before a pirate could finish it...but ya never know what the future may have in store...

Jack I 08-30-2009 02:24 AM

Aye, was a shame indeed they took it out, would have been nice to let us play it. However if I remember correctly you couldn't get past talking to Valentina, that was where the quest ended.

Also, I though I'd share the audio file for the cutscene.

Captain Whale 09-07-2009 01:11 AM

This certainly does look interesting. Thx for posting this Ironhawk. I can't wait for the new content.

Midhav 09-07-2009 09:20 AM

if this comes back to us then even if the Kraken Bb comes the new story could be bout every side fighting for the artifact including Davy Jones and end with you ultimately getting it and kraken unleashed

Jolly Roger 01-09-2010 07:11 PM

Too bad it didnt make it back into the game then my friends would start playing again.

Captain Del 01-09-2010 08:26 PM

I've got, SO much money on the fact this is quest is going to come back as the next Story Chapter. With all the Invasions, the reason Roger is invading the islands keeps changing. With Port Royal, it was the Mansion. With Tortuga, it was with Jack. Now, I wonder what will be on Padres? I don't know, maybe.... the Headstone! Remember a really really long time ago, Disney said that Roger was searching for a "jewel" of some sort? *points frantically to the OP* That jewel has to be the HeadSTONE (get it? Jewel = Precious Stone = "Precious" Stone = Headstone!) And now, back to the Invasions; WHY is Roger trying to destroy the defenses of Padres? Is he trying to get to somebody on Padres? Jack, maybe? Or maybe the person who knows where the Headstone is, Valentina. Lets face it, in the direction the story line is going, the next story quest will NOT be about the Kraken, as it is focusing on Roger. I don't know, it still remains a puzzle. But if you apply the pieces to the Headstone, the pieces fit pretty darn well!

Captain Whale 01-09-2010 09:18 PM

Innocent John Mopses said there were weapon caches on PDF and that is what Jolly was going after. I figured that would lead into the new weapon quests. I guess we will have to wait and see. PDF invasions should be coming to Live soon.

Also Captain Rott stole the gold cutlass that John Moses found on his farm.

This was all revealed in the "Reunion" GM events.

Be interesting to see how this turns out as Captain Rott now works for Jolly Roger, but was he working on his own back then or did the weapon go to Jolly. Rott had also mentioned that Jolly was working on a magical Cannon - could the new Powder Keg Runners be that cannon? These guys are sappers meant to take down the barricade and probably the Walls of PDF's town. That is the target of the PDF invasions.

Captain Whale

Dockwrecker The Privateer 01-09-2010 09:28 PM

Well,there is an interesting idea that Rott worked for Davy Jones.I for one am going with that.

Plus, I've formulated an idea:
In the Eerie Sightings in the Misty Mire, someone posted a quote from Captain Walter about the Golden Aztec Cutlass (or whatever its name is, but if you don't know what I'm talking about, read the thread). The important thing I think he said was the following:
Quote:

''...Captain Rott told Jolly Roger - or whoever he was working for at the time...''
Well, isn't it obvious? This is the missing link! Captain Rott was working for Davy Jones! Davy returns to create a second chapter.

Well, there's a theory for ya. Got as many holes in it as - not gonna start that rant...

This was what someone said in a poll I posted.
The cutlass may return, and be linked to the Headstone, coming with the new weapons we saw in the mentioned thread.
DTP, I think this is where that idea originated.

Dockwrecker The Privateer 01-09-2010 10:04 PM

Yes ,Seafury.You have a thing for digging up posts lately,good one.I myself aren't so sure the new weapons are with the Headstone though,I think that was presumed to be coming with the new Loot and Inventory.

Angel Seafish 01-10-2010 02:38 AM

I'm glad they had actually planned it a long time ago. I wonder if this will be the next one?

Hmmm.... I think the cannon part is strange, and the Keg Runners could not account for it. But, in a recent meeting in L.A, they announced some sort of cannon defenses for the islands. If this has something to do with the Invasions i'm up for it. The cannons would be to attack JR's ship as he fires Fury Thunder and Round sots. The action will be cool. Probably after the PDF invasion, we'll be seeing the Invasions probably thrice in a month or something? But I wish they would stop the PR invasion part because it intermingles too much with the story of Pirates of the Caribbean films...

Captain Whale 01-11-2010 06:33 PM

Again - keep in mind that we are between films 1 and 2 and there is a gap in time there. I would even argue that as Barbossa is still alive but his status of being cursed or brought back to life is in question. William Turner and Elizabeth are still in thier starting places in Film one but Elizabeth's father is missing.

So I would say after the first Film and before the wedding at the start of film 2. Jack is around but Commodor Norington is not. He may have been discraced by now due to his failure to catch Jack Sparrow and the loss of his ship. Jack and Gibbs are on Tortuga. This could account for our first storyline to fetch back the Black Pearl. Perhaps it was seized at some point after he escaped Norrington.

All conjecture of couse but the game doesn't have to follow the Movies exactly it just takes place within the POTCO world.

Aye Roger, several things were mentioned out of those meetings and I have to say the Shore battery defenses sounded really cool. Whether they would be used against invasions as we have them or against an invasion of ships or somthing else entirely willl have to be seen.

Captain Sureshot 01-13-2010 11:21 AM

I'll call the following conjecture: Remember the blocked cave entrance (to nowhere) on the old Padres? The Headstone Quest used that. You see, Jack Sp... err, Captain Jack Sparrow knew that the powerful stone was buried someplace on PDF. Actually, many had heard rumors that the mythical Headstone was located on the volcano island. Though no one had any idea exactly where on the island it might be. Beckett has his quarry, but savvy pirates know that would be like trying to find a single drop of water in an ocean. But with the right information, a large cache of explosives, and a little luck, maybe a pirate could locate the Headstone. Oh, to control the wind and sail the fastest ship on the water, The Black Pearl - that me hearties is freedom!

Will the Headstone Quest ever make an appearance in the game? The question is, where on the new Padres Del Fuego would the Overseers of the Caribbean hide the Headstone...?

If my memory serves me correctly (where did it go? lol) the Black Pearl quest was originally divided up into chapters which is why you see the Chapter 4 for the start of the Headstone Quest.
