Ingredients

After playing episode four and seeing the cutlass return in the final scene, it occurred to me to go back to episode one to see what the ingredients were.
- the Cursed Cutlass of Kaflu -

INGREDIENTS:

1. Steal 37 oz. of blood-stained silver
2. Ultimate Insult
3. Midas Diamond
4. Voodoo doll
5. Enchanted root beer bottle

Morgan was given 30,000 pieces of silver by de Singe (which are not only metaphorically blood-stained because of how she earned them, but they may literally be after she was stabbed).

Guybrush has Elaine's wedding ring, which features a big-ass diamond.

Stan was selling dolls based on Guybrush, LeChuck and the Voodoo Lady.

We're only two ingredients short! Given that it was the first plot point that appeared in ToMI, and given the Monkey Island tradition of recipe puzzles, is anyone else thinking there's a very good chance that episode five will involve crafting a brand new complete Cursed Cutlass of Kaflu (or an unreasonable facsimile thereof)?

    I don't think
    the kitschy crap that Stan sells is at all meant to be considered a Voodoo doll
    , but you could easily be right about the general idea.

    Well, since it didn't work out so well the first time, I'm guessing there's going to be some reluctance in trying the Cursed Cutlass again.

    Plus you would think that Guybrush learned his lesson about substituting ingredients in the Cutlass recipe. It took him long enough to take care of the pox the first time, so I would hope he'd be smart enough not to try half-assing the Cutlass and end up releasing the pox a second time. Though if he did, you could be sure he'd at least be smart enough not to grow to trust human LeChuck again.
