The blacksmith who supplies the Frontera with weapons and repairs. By day he shoes horses for anyone who pays. By night he forges the machetes that have taken countless lives. He tells himself he only makes the tools.
What you are walking into
Víctor "El Herrero" Cortez is level 20, carries 180 health, and is classed Standard. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. It has no trick to it beyond persistence, so the fight comes down to your draws and your gear. 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 Víctor "El Herrero" Cortez plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Víctor "El Herrero" Cortez
Víctor "El Herrero" Cortez 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 150 experience and between $8 and $38. Its loot table can yield Custom Horseshoes, Master Forged Knife and Metal Ingots. 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.
