Burial Thief
Level 20 Outlaw · Bone Garden
In Desperados Destiny, Burial Thief is a level 20 outlaw — a mid-game threat that expects a built character.
Field notes
A relic hunter who has violated the Coalition burial code, digging where the living have no right to stand. He attacks any witness — the Bone Mother does not forgive those who see this and walk away.
What you are walking into
Burial Thief is level 20, carries 220 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. 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 Burial Thief plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Burial Thief
Burial Thief is encountered at Bone Garden. 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 Bone Garden covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 360 experience and between $8 and $20. Its loot table can yield Ancient Artifacts and Stolen Goods. 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.
