You're right there sonny!

Anyway, here it is. Enjoy.

Good job with that video. Very informative.

Just gotta say that I actually really like the boss music at the end (minus the breakdowns, I can't stand breakdowns) better than Abandon All. Props to the drummer, very energetic. Not sure if it's a drum machine, but I like how heavy it is almost akin to blast beats.

Solid video. I kept thinking about the parts when he cornered you, and how panic-inducing that was even on hard difficulty. I'm happy to see that the fight was very fair, even on normal. I engineered him to have some subtle moments where he seems completely ruthless but then he slows down and lumbers, almost like he needs a moment before re-engaging. That precious space where you can take a quick breath was really fun to figure out; too long and the fight dies, too short and it feels unfair.

Nice to see his "stomach arm" is still there. It was my bane in KF1 but still a wicked thing :)

By the way, is it possible to kill Patriarch before healing as it was in KF1?

That would be great. Back in KF1 I was always the crazy gunman of my team who would always go into the thick of chaos if I saw it coming my way (this might have to do something with me being the youngest by 3-8 in our team of 6 players)

I loved it when the Patriarch got wounded and retreated to heal and everybody was like "ok reload, heal up and take positions next to the doorway again" - and I would just sprint after the big bastard with my HSG shooting in every direction to hit him while invisible. Everytime I heard "...the **** did Bonus go again in the boos wave?" and then a few seconds later the slow mo death scene pops up on their screen xD

It is possible, but incredibly difficult (nobody here at the office has succeeded at it yet). If it proves completely impossible for the players, we'll likely revisit his sprint speed when fleeing. He may just be too fast. Good luck!
