Burnbarrel Blvd. is the hot zone in Hobopolis. It is the third area, after the Old Sewers and the Town Square. Hobos in this area can randomly do massive damage.
A primary stat of 350 is suggested. If your main stat isn't high enough, you'll see the following message:
- A hobo inside Burnbarrel Blvdl sees you lurking outside, catches your eye, and grinds a cigar out on his own arm, grinning. Are you sure you're hardcore enough for this place?
(It is recommended that you have at least 350 <mainstat> to adventure here.)

Notes
- 49-51 hobo kills are needed to advance each image file, depending on the total number of hobos in the zone.
- Ol' Scratch will only appear when the location's image is on its 10th variation, which has no visible smoke or fire except that of the pile of flaming tires. After defeating Ol' Scratch, the fire is extinguished, and this area can no longer be explored.
- Attempting to adventure here after Ol' Scratch has been defeated yields the message:
- There's nothing left of Ol' Scratch but a crater and a stove. Burnbarrel Blvd. is still hot, but it's no longer bothered. Or worth bothering with.
