Baldful is a mandtory boss and recurring antagonist who harasses Pleb and his followers throughout the game. He is the leader of the xD Clan and is fought in Escondite Equis De.

## Appearance

Baldful's battle sprite shows him with his hands by his side and staring with a neutral expression. He may be feeling remorse for his past choices, and may not actually want to fight you (which explains why he never actually attacks and only takes photos). However, he can always be seen wearing the trademark xD Clan t-shirt and brown pants, normally with a goofy smile on his face. While ambushing innocent travellers with his men, he can often be seen posing with his arms and legs splayed, resembling an "X".

## Description

Baldful is the leader of a gang of roving bandits known as the xD Clan. Like seemingly all members of the xD Clan, Baldful has a sadistic personality, deriving great joy from robbing and attacking groups of strangers. He will regularly taunt and tease Pleb about how he is powerless to stop their attacks, and how it will likely happen again in the future.

### The first ambush

Baldful first ambushes you in the swamp area leading to Palacio Metrosexual, accompanied by Fred, Larry Penne, Roberto, Xavier Donatelo, Xerif Dannilo and Xabada Daranos. You will be given the choice between giving up all of your money, or trying to fight your way out. The resulting fight of the latter choice is literally unwinnable, and will result in all of your money being taken anyway, so it is strongly recommended you surrender.

### The second ambush

Baldful ambushes you again in the cave leading to Cordillera Peligrosa, accompanied by Roberto, Xabada Daranos, Xerif Dannilo, Fred, Jeremy Jara and Barak Patana. Once again you will be given the choice, your Mbs or a fight, in a repeat of the last instance. It's the same situation as before, so make sure to spend all remaining Mbs before passing through this cave, there's no way to avoid having them stolen.

### The final confrontation

In the xD Base, after defeating Xerif and his men, Baldful can be seen running away from Pleb in fear. The only door leading out of the base is locked, and Baldful must be defeated to acquire the key. Upon catching up to him, Baldful will start into a drawn-out monologue in his normal voice, detailing how he came to be in the position he is in, and how his wife and even his friends are changing due to their addiction to dopamine and the internet. Baldful's former wife can be seen strapped to the wall, writhing in pain with a bag over her head. Baldful, along with Little Manuel, Shorty and Diban will then attack Pleb, claiming that Pleb will become his slave. Upon his death, Baldful will feel relief. You then have the option to demask his wife, revealing that she has become an NPC. You additionally have the option to put her out of her misery. These choices have no bearing on anything else in the game.

## Trivia

* Successfully beating the Clan during either ambush will result in Baldful telling you that this wasn't supposed to happen or accusing you of cheating, and then giving you a game over.
* Having no money during the first ambush will prompt Baldful to make a joke about Venezuala. If you have no money during the second ambush, Baldful will ask if you are a wizard.
