Behaviour

Heavy

Slow to turn and slow to reposition, but absorbs far more punishment than its tier suggests. Kiting works; trading blows does not.

Ranged

Attacks from distance rather than closing. Breaking line of sight or forcing it into melee removes most of its threat.

Boss

Attacks on a 0.7-second cadence instead of the standard 1.1, and announces itself in the message log on spawn. One instance may be alive in its region at a time.

Drops

Coins and experience are awarded separately and are not part of the drop table.

Location

Desperado Warlord spawns inside the Cringe Canyons, a region of radius 22 centred on 84, -40. It occupies slot 3 of 3 on that spawn table, and being a unique boss it clears only 0.8% of rolls — and only when no other instance is alive. It shares the table with 3 other creatures.

Others on this spawn table

• Giant Buzzard 130 HP
• Badlands Outlaw 170 HP
• Canyon Raider 200 HP

Strategy

• Close the gap. It loses most of its output once you are inside its minimum range.
• Kite it. Trading blows with 2,200 hitpoints on the other side is a losing race.
• Only one may be alive in the region at a time — clear the trash first so nothing adds mid-fight.
