Ancestor's Warden
Level 8 Monster · Nahi Burial Site (Red Gulch)
Ancestor's Warden is a level 8 monster found in the Sangre Territory of Desperados Destiny.
Field notes
A spiritual protector risen from the mounds because the living Nahi can no longer protect this place themselves. It is hostile to anyone on the site without standing in the Coalition — not as punishment, but as the only protection left to the dead.
What you are walking into
Ancestor's Warden is level 8, carries 104 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 Ancestor's Warden plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Ancestor's Warden
Ancestor's Warden is encountered at Nahi Burial Site (Red Gulch). 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 Nahi Burial Site (Red Gulch) covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 144 experience and between $3 and $8. Its loot table can yield Eagle Feathers and Animal Bones. 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.
