The key to avoiding Patriarch's attacks is to keep moving and stay near cover. Fighting him in an area with a ceiling will also prevent mortar attacks. Luckily, Patty can't perform it during the first phase of the fight, so your team has a chance of killing him off before he starts raining mortar down. Because the mortar's target is unpredictable, it's a particularly dangerous attack. These fall down and cause a massive blanket explosion on the ground. Patriarch's mortar attack involves him firing explosives up into the air. Rocket attacks are self-explanatory, dealing splash damage when they strike a player or object. A single burst of minigun fire will kill any player who catches the full burst. He remains stationary when firing the minigun on lower difficulty levels, but can move while shooting on the two highest difficulties. Also watch out for his tentacle grab, which pulls players into melee range.įrom a distance, you'll need to worry about Patriarch's minigun, missiles, and mortar barrages. But keep moving, and you should hopefully be able to limp off and heal, especially if other players are around to distract him. Getting caught in melee range is dangerous, as all of these attacks pack a punch.

Ol' Patty, as I assume he likes to be called, has several attacks at his disposal:Īt close range, you'll mainly face the swing and kick attacks, but Patriarch can also perform a charging shoulder ram that has a cooldown of 7-14 seconds (the cooldown lessens as the fight continues). After the first game, he continued his work alone, creating more Zeds and further mutating himself. When his company was in danger of being shut down for its dangerous and unethical practices, the Patriarch forced his remaining staff to implant all of their biomechanical technology into him. He is the former head of Horzine Biotech, the company responsible for the outbreak of Zeds (monsters) across the world. The first Killing Floor only featured one boss: the Patriarch, who returns in Killing Floor 2.
