The Hollow Wayfarer
Level 17 Monster · Dead Man's Stretch
In Desperados Destiny, The Hollow Wayfarer is a level 17 monster — a mid-game threat that expects a built character.
Field notes
The mummified corpse of a man who died crossing the Stretch, now walking the passage endlessly and attacking anything alive — each loop fractionally faster. The Stretch's equivalent of Perdition's Repeater: a spirit so far gone it has become the environment.
What you are walking into
The Hollow Wayfarer is level 17, carries 221 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 The Hollow Wayfarer plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find The Hollow Wayfarer
The Hollow Wayfarer is encountered at Dead Man's Stretch. 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 Dead Man's Stretch covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 272 experience and between $7 and $17. Its loot table can yield Animal Bones, Desert Minerals and Cold Core Residue. 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.
