== Gameplay ==
In-game, the Baroness can be found next to [[The Archmother|the Archmother]]'s blue [[Guardian]]. It has two [[Denizen]] spawn rooms:

* A room with [[Denizen|3 small denizens]].

The Doorman's ultimate ability Hotel Guest sends an enemy to a supernatural hallway in the Baroness, which they need to escape from.
