Tomás "El Joven" Mendoza
Level 15 Outlaw · The Frontera
In Desperados Destiny, Tomás "El Joven" Mendoza is a level 15 outlaw — a mid-game threat that expects a built character.
Field notes
Don Rafael's youngest nephew, eager to prove himself. Tomás has more courage than sense and hasn't yet learned the weight of the life he's chosen. The veterans watch him with a mixture of protection and sadness - they know what he'll become.
What you are walking into
Tomás "El Joven" Mendoza is level 15, carries 150 health, and is classed Standard. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. It fights straightforwardly, which makes it a clean read on whether your current build actually works. 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 Tomás "El Joven" Mendoza plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Tomás "El Joven" Mendoza
Tomás "El Joven" Mendoza is encountered at The Frontera. 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 Frontera covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 200 experience and between $10 and $38. Its loot table can yield Youth Gang Bandana, Switchblade and Stolen Watch. 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.
