How to unlock the Knoxx-Trap achievement in Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition - Definitive Guide

For clarity: this is part of the main story in the Claptrap Robolution DLC that starts at Tartarus Station.

If you're like me and you think this glitched on you... it probably didn't.

There's a second Knoxx-Trap fight. This pops after that one.

Hope this helps!

This trophy will pop after the second time you beat General Knoxx-trap. You'll face them for the second time as you make your way to the Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap in the mission during the quest Operation Trap Claptrap, Phase Four: Reboot

Story related, can't be missed.

You will face General Knoxx-Trap twice in the story, and will earn this trophy upon defeating him the second time. Although Knoxx is the first boss that you’ll encounter, he is actually the hardest to defeat – his attacks mainly consist of two things: a nasty shockwave which will wreak havoc on your shield and take a fair chunk out of your health as well, and a stomp move whereby he will fly in the air and try to squash you.

You'll have to move around a lot and make use of cover if you wish to defeat Knoxx. However, do not stay in the same place for too long, as the shockwaves can actually home in on you and still hit even if you're in cover. Aim for headshots – they inflict critical damage to Knoxx and also cause him to stumble, therefore buying you a little time. Remember that armoured enemies are particularly weak against Corrosive weapons, therefore I'd also recommend you use one of these if you have it. Corrosive weapons will slowly eat away at Knoxx's armour and will also lower his defences, thus making any additional shots that hit him more powerful.

However, you also need to be aware of the enemy Claptraps that will be released at various points during the fight. Do not allow them to get too close to you, as they can inflict some serious damage, and the last thing you want is to be exposed in the open whilst trying to deal with them. Again, a Corrosive weapon is perfect for dealing with Claptraps – their armour is no match for the acid-burning properties of corrosion.

This fight will take a little time, so be patient and don't do anything stupid in an attempt to hurry it up – if you die, you'll have to start all over again and Knoxx will have full health. I have noticed that when you fight Knoxx for the second time, you can stay in the doorway where you first enter the Arena. Knoxx won't be able to get in there, so you'll be able to gradually wear his health down under relative safety. However, you will not be completely invincible, as Knoxx can still hit you with his shockwaves, so bear this in mind. The majority of the enemy Claptraps also tend not to come towards the doorway so you can also pick these off from a safe distance as well. However, be advised that some will get through, so be prepared to deal with these accordingly and always check your radar for any that may be nearby. Please note that if you run out of ammo, then you will have to venture out into the open and collect some from the crates. Once collected, you can retreat back to the safety of the doorway.
