I managed to solo him once on suicidal as last player (on spillway) but it's stressful, if you don't get round a hallway's corner in time, minigun is sure to finish you
When you said his damage is mitigated by cover it reminded me of my favorite. Run in circles around a large object. The trader pod in the prison court yard is ridiculously effective
@@l0sts0ul89 due to the age ranges, careers and tones, I'd say Jon Bailey, also known as the epic voice guy that was in Honest Trailers, is a more suitable comparison.
Firebug for me!......Patriarch HATES fire.....somehow people forget that. Also Demo is probably the Most powerful...couple shots, he runs for a heal, I just let him use All his heals, and I still got TONS of ammo left. Only problem is, when you're Demo, he comes FOR you specifically....because you're capable of killing him quickly, and he Knows it....so you really gotta stay Waaayy back and snipe him with rockets.
The patriarch is probably the most inconsistent boss in the game; you either wreck him before the first heal or face all 3 heals and probably not win unless you don't chase after him. I don't think I've ever seen someone get him on the second or third run away
One time in around, suicidal mode My co-op team managed to kill him in the first run cause everyone was using powerful weapons and he runned in a place where he was still exposed for around 15 second, enough to put all the ammo till his death
I have around 105 hours in this game and so far, i think its save to say that the Patriach is the toughest boss in the game. So many instant kill attacks, reliable heals and cloaking. Your video does a great job on educating people on how to deal with him!
Corners are your friend. Though I will admit, he's the hardest boss in co-op because a lot of times teams get themselves killed and then the last 1 or 2 players simply don't have the ammo to deal with him. Hence the advice of "decide whether you are going to chase or hole up and wait for him to return" rings true, and is something the entire team must decide on (especially in a six man crew)
AA-12 is my personal favorite....he really seems to Hate getting shot by it...and if he Rushes you, just walk backwards and keep Hammering away, 95% of the time, he Retreats, or attacks another player. You can even attack from a Good medium range away, and still chip away at his health fast...he still seems irritated, even at a distance.....just the way "fire" bothered him in KF1.
I tell you now, there is NOTHING BETTER in this game than taking this guy down with the RPG-7, and shouting "one in the pipe" while doing so. Love a little bit of irony.
instructions unclear, endless commentator still alive even after i cut him in to a billion pieces i am starting to think he recorded those BEFORE the first person killed him
Yeah, the Stoner is a fantastic weapon, as long as you have Tactical Reload. Otherwise, it's a bit too slow to reload and cumbersome to use, even if it does hit like a dumpster going at Mach 10.
I actually managed to corner him in a single area with my teammates and we managed to kill him in less than a minute. He didnt even get a chance to get away and heal xd.
The patriarch in kf2 is a fucking joke compared to the one in kf1...but i really like his new design in kf2 its awesome...i just wish they would increase his damage and movement speed to be more like in kf1...
milansta96 well if you follow the lore he has mutated more and sense he is more bulky-ish so it makes sense why he’s a tad bit more slower. But as for his damage im not sure I usually play on hard or suicidal so idk
Another excellent, extensive guide Richard. However I do have a few questions about how aggro works in the game. I imagine it has to do with proximity and damage dealt, could you make some content on this topic if/when you have the time? For example: does healing affect aggro? Do different types of damage cause more or less aggro, what about bashing etc,etc.
Don't be a hero...keep your distance...if you dish Too much damage too quickly, he will come for YOU...and ignore teammates....and it takes a Ton of damage to get him to back off the rage attack!.....see lots of people get killed that way.
What I usually do is cover him in c4 as much as I can and wait until zed time to detonat them to do extra damage or when he runs aways with a short life
What's your secret to having smooth gameplay! All mt games with nothing running the backround have little micro stutters. Using 1080 strix 8 gig Vram, i5 9600k 5 ghz cpu and 16 gig ram! I feel like these older games I should run totally fine at 1440p medium to high but it just always stutters! I'm a task manager freak and always eliminate what I can! Any help from anyone would be grateful!
I'm not sure if I found it, but I don't see a video on Hans volter, can that be a suggestion? These guys are really useful for a noob like me. I would really like it if you can do one on Hans
Berserker is a favourite of mine, too. I'm a big fan of Firebug and Demolitionist, too. My middle mouse button is a bit naff, so I can't reliably parry, unfortunately.
I tried a few different layouts, but there aren't any free buttons that I can readily reach for parrying and alt fire. I mean, it's sometimes reliable, but sometimes the mouse is just complete shit. Probably because its wireless, and because it's fairly old.
I recently tried out SWAT, used the Kriss for, like, five seconds and pretty much loved it instantaneously. -that, and I found a bloody good skin for the Kriss on Steam Workshop, so that's always a plus.-
the patriarch is the most ridiculously hard of the bosses. He heals pretty much no matter what. Has a complicated hitzone, and his ranged attacks all practically 1 shot. I'm talking about on suicidal with 2 players. literally always insta kills one of us. Its fucking annoying because we get this boss everytime as well, every fucking time. any other boss is fine, hans is easy, fleshpound is easy, abomination is fucking ez. not this fucko though. mostly struggle with the insta kill machine gun. less than 1 second before he starts shooting, then you just die even with a max level medic healing you.
hey guys, i have troubles, i cant launch kf2. just updated PC to play new games and firstly tried kf2, then it showed starting window and crashed with opening bug reporter. any help?
There’s one vulnerability you missed, a level 25 Sharpshooter with the AMR-99. My Sharpshooter is level twelve and playing solo normal I can kill Volter with around six shots with the damage perks.

Fun Fact: If you get Patriarch to kill a zed with a minigun or rocket launcher, he will actually start kicking himself doing damage to himself.
I didn’t know that.
I actually wanna try that now.
That's a cool detail actually, haven't noticed that (he does get upset when you kill zeds, or his babies)
Wonder what happens if u kill a zed when playing as him in VS?
damn, he loves his "children" that much? To the point where no matter who they are, they will pay? that's a loving father
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY CHILDREN?!?" *ROAR OF ABJECT FURY*
What is that from, i have seen that comment on a lot of videos
@@cheggnogg9175 This is from the Patriach. He screams that if you're killing his zeds.
@@someonetgg I know
@@cheggnogg9175 Good
I always find Patty to be a crapshoot on high difficulties. He does so much damage with every attack, and can melt you in seconds.
I managed to solo him once on suicidal as last player (on spillway) but it's stressful, if you don't get round a hallway's corner in time, minigun is sure to finish you
Use map geometry, renders him fairly useless. Always be close to something you can run/hide behind. Break LoS as often as possible.
Patriarch: I'm back, and I've got some new tricks.
(KF1) Players:
Ah shit, here we go again.
When you said his damage is mitigated by cover it reminded me of my favorite. Run in circles around a large object. The trader pod in the prison court yard is ridiculously effective
I love richards kf2 vids
Kind of like the ahoy of kf2
wolverine cecil I can see the comparisons but Ahoy uses way more minimalistic diagrams and the like. And his accent is amazing.
Steven Bobby Bills
Yeah true
@@stevenbobbybills
Ahoy is British Morgan Freeman.
@@l0sts0ul89 due to the age ranges, careers and tones, I'd say Jon Bailey, also known as the epic voice guy that was in Honest Trailers, is a more suitable comparison.

I wasn't ready for such high quality KF2 content ! thanks !

For a split second, I legitimately misread that as "Testacle".
That honestly needs to be a weak point.
@Rookie Kevin Clamley was mutated himself not experimented on his geninitals.
The patriarch is probably the most inconsistent boss in the game; you either wreck him before the first heal or face all 3 heals and probably not win unless you don't chase after him. I don't think I've ever seen someone get him on the second or third run away
One time in around, suicidal mode
My co-op team managed to kill him in the first run cause everyone was using powerful weapons and he runned in a place where he was still exposed for around 15 second, enough to put all the ammo till his death
That mortar attack is a team wiper if you aren't careful

I love the guitar solo on the start of the video
Nearly a year later... where's that Hans video?
Long have we waited...
This video is so well done thank you for making this
instructions unclear, endless commentator still alive even after i cut him in to a billion pieces i am starting to think he recorded those BEFORE the first person killed him
Hey Richard, love your videos. Best quality attainable. A Hanz Volter guide would be amazing mah man
Stoner63 from commando was nice after the patch for that boss
Yeah, the Stoner is a fantastic weapon, as long as you have Tactical Reload. Otherwise, it's a bit too slow to reload and cumbersome to use, even if it does hit like a dumpster going at Mach 10.
My friend and I now have a saying, "Oh, it's just the Patriarch." We have next to no trouble fighting him, and that's on hard mode.
Hardmode is second easiest tho tbf
I actually managed to corner him in a single area with my teammates and we managed to kill him in less than a minute. He didnt even get a chance to get away and heal xd.
Nice to see you back Rich, just when i got my KF2 copy from a friend 😁
The patriarch in kf2 is a fucking joke compared to the one in kf1...but i really like his new design in kf2 its awesome...i just wish they would increase his damage and movement speed to be more like in kf1...
milansta96 well if you follow the lore he has mutated more and sense he is more bulky-ish so it makes sense why he’s a tad bit more slower. But as for his damage im not sure I usually play on hard or suicidal so idk
there is, in fact, one in the pipe.
Hey richard, pls do more killing floor videos, your videos are a bit outdated ;-; still tho, good to see u back
there is a preaty fun way to take down patric, when he tryes to flee.
All team stand close to him and dont let him to run.
I never knew any of this. Now i do... Thanks Dick.
Thanks for the tips to face the Patriarch ^^
Very nice. Very useful. Much appreciated.
My Favorite Boss!
He's Also Trader Pod For Endless And Hellmark Station!
Including Radio On Shopping Spree!
I Love Him In My Opinion!
Two of my team8s took an entire missile barrage extremely close, one died other had around 20hp
I love having a field medic no matter what level, i was only a level 5 medic and im the only reason we won

A year has passed and we’re still waiting on the Hans Volter video
I wasn't aware the upper right arm was a weak point; I'll keep note of that next I encounter him on KF2.
Patriarch. No you have to let me go heal myself. Me and my squad. HAHA guns go BRRR.
heres a little fact: the patriach can be killed without him regening.
Love the intro music 👌
Don't be a hero...keep your distance...if you dish Too much damage too quickly, he will come for YOU...and ignore teammates....and it takes a Ton of damage to get him to back off the rage attack!.....see lots of people get killed that way.
His video image or whatever it is called says
The Patricarch
Fixed, thanks for the catch!
Its pretty good feelin when you and your team kill him before his first heal.
Great video bud, I'm eatin your content up.
What I usually do is cover him in c4 as much as I can and wait until zed time to detonat them to do extra damage or when he runs aways with a short life

hope to see the other boss done, this is a nice vid :)
I'm not sure if I found it, but I don't see a video on Hans volter, can that be a suggestion?

THE PATRICIA
The boss spawn in any map, is random or certain maps have only certain bosses? And can I foresee which boss will spawn in any run?
The only map with a set spawn is Santa's Workshop, said spawn always being the Krampus-Abomination.
Why does matriarch wanna find the patriarch
Did he ever actually look at Hans Volter? I cant find it...
Will you do a guide for the Abomination? Really enjoying your work!
Resistant to shotguns?
The only time I've ever killed him before he healed even once was due to the M4 combat shotgun
I've been bamboozled
Resistant doesn't mean useless. Also, the M4 is a generally powerful weapon.
Did the stalkers get buffed in the summer update? They seem more annoying.
The Patricia
years later no hans volter guild vid was made from u lol
Patriarch is the best father.
so we kinda like fighting EA ceo now? nice
Played that game the other day for the first time, I really liked the gunslinger and berserker perks.
Gunslinger is just so satisfying
Berserker is a favourite of mine, too. I'm a big fan of Firebug and Demolitionist, too.
My middle mouse button is a bit naff, so I can't reliably parry, unfortunately.
Brash Crandicoot
Rebind keys
I tried a few different layouts, but there aren't any free buttons that I can readily reach for parrying and alt fire. I mean, it's sometimes reliable, but sometimes the mouse is just complete shit. Probably because its wireless, and because it's fairly old.
I recently tried out SWAT, used the Kriss for, like, five seconds and pretty much loved it instantaneously.
-that, and I found a bloody good skin for the Kriss on Steam Workshop, so that's always a plus.-
FEEEEL.......MYYYY........RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!!!!
But do you know if the sharpshooters head shot damage passive is better to be shooting the head or still the arm?
So does parrying even matters for perks that are not a bersker, cause I feel I take the same about of damage
Patriarch commonly known as patty
Missed your kf2 vids :] keep it up
I does a lot of damage
Hes my favorite boss I have fun fighting the others are alright
the patriarch is the most ridiculously hard of the bosses.
He heals pretty much no matter what.
Has a complicated hitzone,
and his ranged attacks all practically 1 shot.
I'm talking about on suicidal with 2 players.
literally always insta kills one of us. Its fucking annoying because we get this boss everytime as well, every fucking time.
any other boss is fine, hans is easy, fleshpound is easy, abomination is fucking ez. not this fucko though.
mostly struggle with the insta kill machine gun. less than 1 second before he starts shooting, then you just die even with a max level medic healing you.
Noice i was waitin on this
hey guys, i have troubles, i cant launch kf2. just updated PC to play new games and firstly tried kf2, then it showed starting window and crashed with opening bug reporter. any help?
Check that you have a compatible windows version, reinstall the game, and update your drivers.
+Mehrunes Dagon window 7, reinstalled tonnload of times, drivers up to date
It took 2+ years okay...
Thanks for the video
Nice info man!
I love you as a person. Does that make sense?
15:30 what testing map is this
13:07 lil spelling error but overall great video lmao
dangles u forgot about hans volter whens that coming out?
Hey, been hearing about this game, what’s it like and is it viable to run a pistolero or shotgunner build?
William Tecumseh Sherman
Yes.
How did you switch ads mode at 4:45
Alt fire
Only took you forever to upload, mate.
Steven Bobby Bills good things come to those who wait
Michael Li That's true, but the world would be a better place with more Richard Dangles videos.
Michael Li what about MissingnoXpert
Very usefull tip ! Thx 4 that ! 👍
thx I learned so much :)
Good Content,Keep It Up! :D
why i got the feeling bosses are joke at this point
I was wondering are you playing HoE on your gameplay??
Best boss
Love this game
what song aroud 2:59 its so kick ass!
I never really understood why an old man in an exo suit has more health than a beefed up monster with a rocket launcher for an arm.
good video :) and ban the robots !
What exactly does Richard dangle?
Alright did you purposely take a break just so you could use that line?
Wow ur alive 🤔
What is the Name of the intro song?
There’s one vulnerability you missed, a level 25 Sharpshooter with the AMR-99. My Sharpshooter is level twelve and playing solo normal I can kill Volter with around six shots with the damage perks.
caden Macdonald normal lol
What is the intro music
Whats that song in intro
For me (I play normal berserker and alone) this guy is stupidly easy I just get the saw gun(I forget what it’s called) and destroy him
Why does it keep tellin him what he killed how he do tha
In options
What is the map at 2:48 ? It looked really good
Titanium it's a map from Killing Floor 1 modded on to Killing Floor 2
