How To Find (& Beat) The Butler In Lethal Company

The Butler is a new monster inand one of the most humanoid entities you can encounter on a salvage run. It is a round figure with a gray overcoat and red bow tie. It has short black hair and a face resembling a blob fish. They are described as smelling of rotten meat and act as a lurking threat within the halls of the moon's facility.

The Butler joins the roster of dangerous entities alongside the Old Bird in , although the Butler is an indoor entity where the Old Bird can only be found outdoors. The Butler is less dangerous than the killer robot and can be safely approached. However, whatever you do, you should not approach the Butler without another employee at your side.

Most of the time, the Butler is a passive entity found on mansion moons. You'll find the Butler casually sweeping the halls with their broom, patiently ignoring groups of employees running about. They will wander around the mansion looking for employees, seemingly minding their own business.

If the Butler finds an employee in the company of one or more other employees, they will remain in their passive state. For most salvage runs to mansion moons, it is therefore better to at least have one partner nearby to cull the murderous tendencies of the Butler.

The Butler is most commonly encountered in the mansion on Dine, but can also spawn on Artifice, Rend, or Adamance.

However, if the Butler finds you alone (or you decide to attack the Butler), a discordant soundtrack will accompany the Butler's rampage as they take out a kitchen knife and proceed to chase you down. If this happens to you, break line of sight as soon as possible, preferably by getting a door between you and the Butler as the Butler takes between 15 and 30 seconds to open a door.

Upon losing you, it may look like the Butler is back in its passive state but do not be fooled. They are still searching for you and merely acting passively to lure you into a safe sense of security.
