# The Knacker

**The Knacker is a different boss from Lil Knacker.** His hidden arena is beyond the northern end of [Knacker's Pass](/gluebook/gluniverse-knackers-pass).

Every **3 Lil Knacker kills** opens a portal for **5 minutes**. Entry consumes one **Frozen Key**, forged from 6 Water + 1 Metal Rod at the Frost Forge. The door also stays open while the father is alive; the son waits until the father falls. Bring a key for each ordinary entry.

| Boss | Health | Power | Level | Base XP | Respawn |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Lil Knacker | 2,800 | 52 | 35 | 2,400 | 1 hour |
| The Knacker | 11,200 | 78 | 35 | 9,600 | 4 hours |

## Read the fight

He opens with cleaver attacks and dashes. At **75% health**, more ranged pressure and spinning attacks join the fight. At **50%**, his herd applies pressure while he holds the floor. At **25%**, recovery windows shorten and attacks chain; his angry appearance arrives at **12%**. Change direction to evade aimed attacks, leave the marked ground and use recovery openings. Running in one unchanging circle is not a reliable dodge.

Participation, boss-group protection and travel locks follow the shared boss rules. Rewards are per qualifying participant, not only the killing blow. Respawn state survives ordinary deployments.

## Recovering your bag

A recorded death site in the arena waives the entry key while that record remains valid. Death piles stay owner-locked; expiry pauses while the arena is sealed. A failed crossing refunds the key on the next join if you land outside the arena.

## What he drops

His normal floor is **three waystone shards, three rolled charms and a Frozen Treasury**. Independent extra rolls include **35% a cosmetic, 10% a frozen sword, 7% a relic and 1.8% a portable terminal**. His high-tier weights are better than Lil Knacker's; that changes the distribution, not every tier by a fixed percentage-point increase.

He **does not drop raw frozen sap or keystones**. His room has no new raw-material pool. Lil Knacker remains the source of keystones.

Only this boss drops **Knacker's Eyes**: **2% white legendary** and **0.5% angry mythic** per qualifying participant, independent rolls. Each successful roll chooses a male or female item equally; the versions are separate tradeable drops. White eyes grant **+28% Wits, +5% attack speed, +50 HP**; angry eyes grant **+33% Wits, +8.5% attack speed, +66 HP**. Both grant frost immunity. They share the exclusive face slot with other eyewear and coverings.

See [the cosmetic catalogue](/gluebook/gluniverse-cosmetics-catalog) for their pixel icons, and [Relics](/gluebook/gluniverse-relics) for the skills he can drop. Guild wars remain closed.
