The Blocked Route
Level 9 Boss · Old Railroad Tunnel
The Blocked Route is one of the boss threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 9.
Field notes
A construct of rail-iron and boulder that has been filling the explosion scar with itself for decades, sealing the far end of the tunnel.
What you are walking into
The Blocked Route is level 9, carries 225 health, and is classed Scourge Lord, a boss encounter. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It punishes over-commitment, turning your weaker hands back on you, so patience beats aggression here. 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 Blocked Route plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find The Blocked Route
The Blocked Route is encountered at Old Railroad Tunnel. 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 Old Railroad Tunnel covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 600 experience and between $5 and $13. Its loot table can yield Blocked Route Keystone and Iron Ore. 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.
