==Location and Access==
==Strategy==
The Knucklemaster's lair is located off the middle of a dark corridor at the bottom floor of the Skull Woods. It is fought in a room with many cracks on the floor. Beating it opens up a stairway leading outside, where Seres' painting is held.
Knucklemaster's main attack involves clutching into a fist and ramming Link. This attack can only be avoided by jumping out of the way with the [[Tornado Rod]], or turning into a painting. This causes Knucklemaster to crash into the wall and get stunned, exposing its vulnerable eye. After recovering, it will attempt to squash [[Link]] repeatedly. This is not only dangerous on its own, but it also destroys the fragile parts of the floor, making it harder to maneuver. After sustaining enough damage, Knucklemaster will get faster and attempt to squash Link more often, but the strategy to defeat it remains the same. Upon the monster's defeat, a passageway will be revealed, leading to Seres's painting.

==Glitch==
It is actually possible to skip the fight against Knucklemaster via a glitch, as seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP-xlpWZgyY here]. If Link stands near the upper wall of the arena and uses the Tornado Rod at the same time Knucklemaster attempts to ram into him, it is possible to leave the arena and reach Seres's painting without fighting the boss. However, doing so will result in the [[Heart Container]] Knucklemaster yields to be unobtainable.
