Here's how you deal with him:
* The Quest: You encounter the Knob Goblin King as part of the "The Knob Goblin King" quest.
* The Challenge: The goal isn't to fight him directly. You need to find the "magic item" that will open the door to his "lair". This item changes each time, and you'll have to search for it within the dungeon.
* Finding the Item: There's no specific guide, as the item is randomized. You'll have to explore the dungeon, interact with objects, and look for clues that will lead you to the key.
* Opening the Door: Once you have the magic item, return to the door of the Knob Goblin King's lair, and use it.
* The "Fight": The "fight" is more of a riddle. He'll ask you a question, and you need to answer it correctly.
* Reward: If you answer correctly, you'll be victorious and receive a reward, which is usually a powerful item or a useful resource.
Tips for the Knob Goblin King:
* Explore thoroughly: There are often hidden clues or interactive objects that can lead you to the magic item.
* Talk to everyone: Sometimes, other knob goblins will give you hints or clues.
