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

Location
The Beer Baron spawns inside the Hangover Hills, a region of radius 18 centred on 30, 84. It occupies slot 3 of 3 on that spawn table, and being a unique boss it clears only 0.5% of rolls — and only when no other instance is alive. It shares the table with 3 other creatures.
Others on this spawn table
- Drunken Brawler 200 HP
- Keg Golem 520 HP
- Hangover Hound 160 HP
Strategy
- Kite it. Trading blows with 2,000 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.
