Before you know how to defeat the Knuckle Duckle, you must know how to find it. Knuckle Duckle field boss is located in an open cave to the south of the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop, Nod-Krai in Genshin Impact. There is a teleporter available near the boss.

However, before you unlock it, you must travel there first. To do so, start from Nasha Town and take the road to the northwest that will take you to the Clink-Clank Craftshop. Now go opposite the pier and look for the cave entrance. Walk a few more seconds in the cave to locate the Knuckle Duckle field boss in Genshin Impact.

How to Beat Knuckle Duckle in Genshin Impact

Although the Knuckle Duckle is one of the easiest field bosses in Genshin Impact Luna I, defeating it requires the right strategy. Before you jump into a fight with it, here are two things you must keep in mind.

1. Look for the Purple Radar

The Knuckle Duckle attacks are pretty easy to dodge if you are aware. Before any attack, it creates a purple radar in the impact radius. Its primary attack is a splash that deals significant damage. So, when the purple radar pops up, make sure you are out of it to stay clear of heavy damage.

While the splash attack takes a lot of time, the boss can also perform quick charge attacks. To dodge that, you must look for the purple arrows going in a straight line. As the attack is much quicker, you had better prepare for a quick dodge.

2. Deal with Summons to Break Armor

Even if you dodge the normal, splash, or charge attacks, that won’t be enough against the Knuckle Duckle. One of the strongest parts of this boss is its armor and summoned units. Once it summons its minions, it gains a full bar of armor, which is pretty hard to break normally.

To deal with it, you must clear the summons quickly. As you defeat the small bots, Knuckle Duckle’s armor will automatically be destroyed. After you break the armor, the boss will be stunned for a brief duration.
