The Vent-Walker
Level 13 Monster · Volcanic Flats
In Desperados Destiny, The Vent-Walker is a level 13 monster — a mid-game threat that expects a built character.
Field notes
A creature of compressed volcanic gas and heat with animal cunning. It lives inside active vents and erupts onto the surface when one is disturbed.
What you are walking into
The Vent-Walker is level 13, carries 169 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 Vent-Walker plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find The Vent-Walker
The Vent-Walker is encountered at Volcanic Flats. 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 Volcanic Flats covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 208 experience and between $6 and $13. Its loot table can yield Sulfur Deposit and Obsidian. 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.
