The Profaned Baroness is a mid-to-late game encounter in Derelict, the Soulslike action RPG developed by Scrambledly Studios on Roblox. Defeating her awards the official Profaned Baroness badge, grants valuable weapon-crafting materials, and concludes an emotional chapter of the Baron storyline.
Unlocking her chamber requires progressing through the Baron questline, as her arena remains locked behind the heavy stone doors of the Mausoleum in Reverie Cemetery.
How to Find and Unlock the Profaned Baroness
The Profaned Baroness is situated inside the Mausoleum at the far end of Reverie Cemetery, an area directly connected to Baron's Town. Reaching her requires navigating specific landmarks and clearing prerequisite story quests.
- Travel to Hollow's Arch Bonsai. From the arch, take the southern trail past the Stone Blalis until you reach a road fork marked by a lamppost.
- Follow the western fork to reach Baron's Town, where the NPC Lorik Ironheart is stationed.
- Advance Lorik Ironheart's questline, including the quest "Regaining Hope?", which requires collecting three Key Fragments scattered across Reverie Cemetery (one in a small southwestern mausoleum, one in a southern stone coffin, and one at a northwestern shrine).
- Complete the quest steps leading to the Weeping Grove and defeat the boss Asher, Storm of Vengeance.
- Return to Reverie Cemetery behind Baron's Town. The large brown doors of the main Mausoleum structure will now unlock.
| Location Step | Area | Key Objective / Landmark |
|---|---|---|
| Starting Point | Hollow's Arch | Take southern path past Stone Blalis to the lamppost fork |
| Settlement | Baron's Town | Speak with Lorik Ironheart to begin the quest chain |
| Key Hunt | Reverie Cemetery | Retrieve 3 Key Fragments from the coffin, small mausoleum, and shrine |
| Prerequisite Boss | Weeping Grove | Defeat Asher, Storm of Vengeance |
| Boss Dungeon | Mausoleum | Enter through the unlocked doors at the back of Reverie Cemetery |
Mausoleum Interior and Pre-Boss Encounters
Upon entering the Mausoleum structure, players do not drop into combat immediately. A hallway leads toward the boss chamber, patrolled by hostile mob spawns documented in official wiki records:
- Mausoleum Snake (Type 1 and Type 2)
- Depraved (bulky undead enemies that also roam the surrounding graveyard)
In recorded gameplay runs, players observed that these snake enemies move slowly, allowing high-agility builds to sprint past them directly down the corridor into the boss encounter.
Profaned Baroness Boss Fight Strategy
Player gameplay footage indicates this encounter takes place in what is designated as a level 55 area. Unlike stationary or purely aggressive melee bosses, the Profaned Baroness relies heavily on hit-and-run mobility and ranged burst damage.
Observed Attack Patterns
- Sprint and Disengage: The Baroness frequently sprints away across the arena whenever the player closes the distance. Chasing her carelessly can rapidly deplete the player's stamina bar.
- Projectile Orb: The boss hurls a spherical ranged projectile (colloquially called a "basketball" attack by players) that travels forward and deals heavy direct damage upon contact.
- Explosive Ground Traps: The Baroness drops explosive, bomb-like hazard fields around her position. Stepping near these detonations inflicts severe burst damage.
- Sustained Beam / Long-Range Strike: In player combat testing, she possesses high-impact long-range attacks capable of taking a significant portion of the player's health pool if not dodged horizontally.
Recommended Combat Tactics
- Stamina Management: Because the Baroness constantly disengages, players should avoid burning their entire stamina bar solely on sprinting. Preserve enough stamina to execute dodge rolls through her projectile attacks.
- Magic Utilization: Community guide documentation from NamuWiki highlights that while the Baroness may feel mechanically less overwhelming than Asher, the encounter semi-compulsively rewards ranged magic spells. Equipping spells purchased from Asher prior to entering makes chipping her health down far more manageable when she runs away.
- Bleed and Status Effects: Combat testing demonstrates that applying status damage like bleed strips large portions of her health bar while she is resetting her spacing.
- Healing Windows: Due to the high burst damage of her explosive traps and orb throws, keep quick-slot healing flasks ready and consume them only immediately after dodging her long-range animations.
Boss Rewards and Post-Fight Discoveries
Defeating the Profaned Baroness opens the path leading out of the arena into the adjoining chamber, delivering multiple quest and progression rewards:
- Official Roblox Badge: Defeating the boss grants the account badge "Profaned Baroness".
- Soul of Profaned Baroness: An essential drop showcased in update footage, used alongside other boss remnants to acquire or craft specialized gear.
- Forging Stones: High-tier upgrade materials awarded upon clearing the encounter.
- Venom Flasks: Two Venom Flask items can be looted from the room immediately adjacent to the arena.
- Green Tomb / Quest Turn-In: The green tomb in the adjoining room unlocks, and reporting back to the quest giver yields character class XP and recipe scrolls.
- Story Reveal: Beyond the arena lies the corpse of the father, confirming the tragic resolution of the family story arc.
- Memory Refight Option: After defeating her, a "Replay memory" prompt appears at the arena entrance, allowing players to replay the boss fight on demand.
