How to kill the Butler in Lethal Company

The Butler enemy in Lethal Company has both a passive and an aggravated state. It’s easy to tell the difference between the two, as while in his passive state, the Butler will simply sweep his broom across the floor as he walks around. However, once the Butler gets close enough to you he will enter his aggravated state and pull a Butcher Knife from inside his jacket, and immediately start stabbing you to death if close enough. Another tip to track his state is listening to the music. Nice melodic music typically plays from the Butler. But once he enters the aggravated state, it changes.

Once it gets close enough, sometimes it will also start inflating its head and once it pops, Mask Hornets will spawn around it. They will fly around searching for you, so you have to essentially trap them in another room so they can’t keep chasing you.

The best strategy for dealing with the Butler is to stay in a group. The Butler is not as likely to enter his aggravated state, and therefore you can strategize to carry out a well-coordinated attack on the Butler. It takes six hits with the Shovel to take out the Butler. Doing so will cause him to drop the Butcher Knife, an extremely powerful and fast-attacking weapon but with an extremely close melee range.

Where does the Butler spawn in Lethal Company?

The best place to find the Butler is any of the moons featuring a Mansion. According to the Butler’s lore, he walks around cleaning up the Mansion which is its job. Here are the most common map locations to find the Butler:

  1. 7-Dine Moon (Common)
  2. 8-Artifice Moon (Uncommon)
  3. 85-Rend (Uncommon)
  4. 20-Adamance (Rare)
