The Ore-Keeper
Level 15 Boss · Devil's Canyon - Upper Trails
In Desperados Destiny, The Ore-Keeper is a level 15 boss — a mid-game threat that expects a built character.
Field notes
Ghost of the canyon's first prospector — found the richest vein and was killed for it by his partners. He hoards the canyon's ore spiritually and marks those who take too much.
What you are walking into
The Ore-Keeper is level 15, carries 210 health, and is classed Omen, a boss encounter. 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 Ore-Keeper plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find The Ore-Keeper
The Ore-Keeper is encountered at Devil's Canyon - Upper Trails. 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 Devil's Canyon - Upper Trails covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 1050 experience and between $52 and $126. Its loot table can yield Ore Keepers Pick, Gemstones and Turquoise Raw. 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.
