Burglin’ Gnomes: How to Gather Clonk Fast in the Kitchen

Clonk covers any item that contains metal in Burglin’ Gnomes, and collecting it is one of the tasks the High-Gnome hands you. As a small gnome, your job is to grab three of these metal objects and haul them out of the house without being caught. The kitchen is where you can finish the whole task in one quick trip.

Quick answer: Climb to the kitchen counter, grab three metal items (cans, toasters, kettles, weight machines, and similar), throw them to the floor, then drag each one outside the house. The objective completes the moment the third Clonk leaves the building.

What counts as Clonk in Burglin’ Gnomes

Any object made of or containing metal is sorted into the Clonk category. That includes cans, toasters, kettles, weight machines, and other small kitchen gear. You need three of these to close out the task.

Best area	Kitchen
Objective	Grab the metal items and move them outside the house

Metal items can spawn anywhere in the house, but the kitchen is the fastest spot because all three can sit together on the counter.

Climb to the kitchen counter

Make your way into the kitchen, since this is where Clonk items show up most reliably. Look toward the oven and counter area along the wall.

Grab the oven handle and open the oven door. Jump up onto the open door so you have a foothold near the counter.

Open the drawer to the left of the oven. If it won’t slide while you’re standing on the oven, jump down first and pull the drawer out, then climb back up.

Return to the oven, jump, and grab the open drawer to pull yourself up onto the kitchen counter. From here, you can reach the metal items resting on top.

Grab the Clonk and take it outside

Stand on the counter and pick a metal item using the right mouse button. Cans, toasters, kettles, and weight machines all qualify.

Throw each item off the counter to the floor below. Clear all three down one at a time so they’re easy to collect.

Drop down from the counter, then latch onto an item with the right mouse button and drag it toward the exit. Keep moving steadily until you’re outside the house.

Repeat the drag for the remaining items. Once three Clonk items are outside, the task finishes right away.

Tip: Hold the item firmly and watch your route while you move. Dropping an item or getting spotted on the way out can interrupt the run, so steady dragging matters more than speed.

How to confirm the task is done

The objective updates the instant the third metal item crosses outside the house. There’s no extra step to trigger it, so if the counter spawned all three items together, a single trip to the kitchen is enough to keep the High-Gnome satisfied.
