Mesa Smoke Devil
Level 11 Monster · Sixth Warning Post
In Desperados Destiny, Mesa Smoke Devil is a level 11 monster — a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet.
Field notes
A heat-distortion entity that emerged when the sacred signal fire was extinguished mid-ceremony. The Nahi say the fire kept it sealed; without the flame it is free, and furious.
What you are walking into
Mesa Smoke Devil is level 11, carries 143 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It fights by attrition — damage that keeps working after the hand is played, so a long fight favours it rather than you. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Mesa Smoke Devil plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Mesa Smoke Devil
Mesa Smoke Devil is encountered at Sixth Warning Post. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Sixth Warning Post covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 176 experience and between $4 and $11. Its loot table can yield Wraith Dust and Cold Core Residue. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
