Force the Matriarch in Offline Mode with BossIndex (KF2)

This short Spanish-language guide shows a trick for objectives that require killing the Matriarch several times. Instead of playing matches blindly, you check which boss the match has chosen before the waves begin and reroll until it is the Matriarch. The author notes the guide is no longer needed for its original purpose, but the console method still illustrates how boss selection works. See also boss spawn prediction with BossIndex.

Steps

1. Start an offline game on Normal difficulty with 4 waves, on any map.
2. When the match loads, open the console (the guide uses the key on a Spanish keyboard layout) and enter:

getall KFGameReplicationInfo BossIndex

3. Look at the end of the output. If it reads BossIndex = 4, the boss is the Matriarch and you can play.
4. If not, enter restartlevel in the console. The match reloads; run the first command again and check once more. Repeat until you get 4.

Boss index values

BossIndex	Boss
0	Dr. Hans Volter
1	Patriarch
2	King Fleshpound
3	Abomination
4	Matriarch

Notes

• Short matches (4 waves on Normal) make each reroll quick, which is the point of the trick.
• This only inspects a value the game already chose and rerolls the match; it does not change the boss by hand.
