The Fate of Every Crewmember

By djsnowboy267

This is a list of every crew member, along with their portrait and cause of death. Obviously, spoilers ahead.
There are multiple options that will work for some crew members, the ones in this guide are what I discovered while playing. Feel free to leave a comment if you discovered another method of death that works, and I may get around to verifying them and updating the guide in the future.

@AthullNexus Well the surgeon is the same guy who gave you the book and watch, which he says to mail back to him in Morroco(which is in africa), and during one of the chapters you can see him and the ladies in a boat escaping

AthullNexus 29 Jan, 2023 @ 12:11am

How are we supposed to know that the surgeon and the ladies ended up in Africa?

I thought they were all eaten by Robert Witterel

I had a fun time working out everybody's death, but eventually towards the end it was just too much of a hassle to figure out who a bunch of seaman were specifically, so this guide really helped on that regard.

For those that drowned by beast/fell overboard and "disappeared" in Chapter IX, they and their boat can be seen flying through the air in the last memory they appear in where Maba perishes. No need for guesswork, just identify the 9/12 people in the memory that are still on the Obra Dinn(or look at the previous memory where they're seen getting into the rowboat), and you know who the 3 being tossed into the sea are.

I think all the instances of "Speared by a beast" I put as "Spiked" and it was accepted.

The fucking illustrator was not "drowned", what the hell have you been taking?

Wolff and Shirley can also be shot by Abraham Akbar, Seaman. He did actually light the cannon. You can see him with a lit wick on the f use in their death scene. This will change your ending report to fining Akbar for murder as well.

For me Fillip Dahl was poisoned
