Thaddeus Crowe

Beat Thaddeus Crowe after the Sunken Dunes and before you treat the Drowned Tide as required. The Hollow Bargain badge says "Beat Thaddeus Crowe" and had 5,211 awards on 15 November 2026. It was added on 10 October 2026, a day after the first land badges. He is a named boss with his own checkbox, not a land rename.

Where he sits on the ladder

Sandbreaker, the dunes, had 6,266 awards. Tidebreaker had 3,460. Crowe sits between them. Magus, level 20, had 5,168, almost his exact crowd. Show up around level 20, after the dunes clear, with a card you have already been upgrading. Perfected, Tier V, had 6,750 awards, so a finished card is common in the crowd just above him and worth having if the fight drags.

The badge does not name a land. Walk through the door the game opens. If the game puts his door in a zone you have unlocked, walk through it. If you cannot find a door, finish the dunes and look again. Players with the dunes badge are the players who reach him.

How to beat Thaddeus Crowe

Raise your main card before you spend an evening on attempts. A wide card matters if he summons. There is no published phase list. The Not Even Close badge, "Beat a run's boss with 1 health left," is a reminder that a boss can end one point from a wipe. Spend the last card. A party is optional here. Five thousand clears is still a solo-capable crowd, unlike Gambit Court or the Labyrinth.

Do not detour into a race reroll to beat him. Nothing ties The Hollow Bargain to a lineage.

Is he worth farming

Verdict: Beat him once for the badge, then go to the Drowned Tide. No Crowe drop is published. A second day on the same fight does not move you toward Galecrag.

Keep going with Sunken Dunes, Drowned Tide, Cards, Leveling, Bosses, and Decks.
