The Water Baron
Level 7 Boss · Mariposa Springs
In Desperados Destiny, The Water Baron is a level 7 boss — a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet.
Field notes
A businessman in a fine suit who is comfortable letting other people's violence solve his problems. He carries documents that are fraudulent and a derringer that is not.
What you are walking into
The Water Baron is level 7, carries 155 health, and is classed Scourge Lord, a boss encounter. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It leans on pressure, degrading your draws before a card is turned; steady hands matter more than big ones. 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 Water Baron plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find The Water Baron
The Water Baron is encountered at Mariposa Springs. 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 Mariposa Springs covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 450 experience and between $14 and $31. Its loot table can yield Spring Claim Deed and Spring Water. 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.
