The Stampede-Father
Level 15 Boss · Buffalo Grounds
The Stampede-Father is a level 15 boss found in the Sangre Territory of Desperados Destiny.
Field notes
A bison bull twice the normal size with a blood-red left eye — the mark of spirit-illness from the corrupted east water. The herd follows him anywhere, including into death; at half health his panic-call floods the field with stampeding adds.
What you are walking into
The Stampede-Father is level 15, carries 225 health, and is classed Omen, a boss encounter. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. 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 The Stampede-Father plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find The Stampede-Father
The Stampede-Father is encountered at Buffalo Grounds. 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 Buffalo Grounds covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 960 experience and between $19 and $47. Its loot table can yield Buffalo Hide, Buffalo Horn, Iron Hide Pelt and Guardian Totem. 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.
