Blackbeard Edward
BLACK SOULS II · Late mid game · Optional
The most feared pirate of the age, collecting debts in Wonderland at 29.4%. His achievement states his terms: no money? Pay with blood.

Context and planning notes
Blackbeard marks the turn out of the town-killer band toward deeper Wonderland — a noticeable step down in completion rate (29.4%) from the gallery's core, alongside Captain Kidd (34.4%) as the sequel's pirate pair.
Expect a heavier, higher-stakes brawl than the killers before him; Teach's legend was built on theatrical terror, and the fight leans into spectacle.
He pairs naturally with the Whale Beast's territory in route order — clear the sea-flavored stretch in one push before descending toward Hindley and the deep tier.
