Survey Captain Holloway
Level 12 Outlaw · The Ritual Grounds
In Desperados Destiny, Survey Captain Holloway is a level 12 outlaw — a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet.
Field notes
The expedition leader, operating under a falsified survey charter and a map drawn from stolen Coalition documents. He is genuinely convinced he is the right man to unlock this site. He is wrong about everything except his shooting.
What you are walking into
Survey Captain Holloway is level 12, carries 132 health, and is classed Stalker. 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 Survey Captain Holloway plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Survey Captain Holloway
Survey Captain Holloway is encountered at The Ritual 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 The Ritual Grounds covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 216 experience and between $5 and $11. Its loot table can yield Stolen Goods, Ancient Artifacts and Old Map. 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.
