You will see a circular battlefield with many columns inside of it. Totem Father will start the fight on top of one of the columns. When on top of the columns, he will attack you at range with the Double Energy Balls or with the Boulder Throw. Then, he can leap to the ground to place a totem or to leap at your location for an attack. After a few attacks, he will leap to a column again restarting the Phase.

AnonymousRED TOTEM FIGHT: I beat him using the Chicago Typewriter + Swarm Mod, and the Osseus Armor Set. Swarm is the bread, Chicago Typewriter is the butter.
(You can swap out the headpiece for Drifter's Mask to help with dodging, and I used Gunslinger's Charm, Pillar of Stone, and Stockpile Circlet for the accessories)
Swarm can either melt the boss down in tandem with your own bullets, or it can chew away at the annoying adds while you focus YOUR fire on the boss exclusively. Its damage is nutty, and should be kept up at all times, which is achieved by utilizing the Chicago Typewriter's rapidfire attacks to recharge the cooldown VERY quickly, and the bulk of ammo-per-clip available makes it easy to resume firing after dodging multiple attacks in a row without having to reload (and the Osseus set gives you that huge dps boost as long as you keep firing, which also where the Typewriter shines here).
Place a defensive mod of your choice onto a handgun of your choice (I chose SMG with Mantle of Thorns mod). Activate that defensive mod at the beginning of the fight to protect you while Swarm melts the him down, keep firing away with your Chicago Typewriter, stopping ONLY to roll away from his attacks.
TLDR; just keep Swarm on him constantly and dodge, dodge, dodge. Recharge Swarm CD by shooting either him or the adds, applying Swarm again when its up. Repeat.
GODSPEED.
(This still works if you want to play super defensively. Hell, you can just apply swarm and do nothing but dodge him and shoot adds until Swarms off cooldown again, then re-apply Swarm to boss and rinse and repeat. Swarm will kill the bastard eventually even if your bullets wont.)

The problem with this fight is that both versions of it are not balanced because of the adds. Ranged Totem Father has melee adds and Melee Totem Father has ranged adds. If they reversed that ranged TF wouldn't be so easy and melee TF wouldn't be so hard.

Anyone know why the totem wont change for me? It's stuck on blue which I've done already in a randos world. Wanna do red but wont change

Totem father with red totems is so irritating. Whole fight with blue totems is like a walk in the park compared with his alt battle.

Прекрасный босс! Вдвоём на максимальной сложности одно удовольствие его убивать. Настолько "Лёгкого" босса никода в своей жизни не убивал. С боссами из любой части DS просто не сравнить. Верните мне только 9 часов, которые на него были потрачены, пожалуйста.
This boss is so easy omg!!!! -some random idiot in this wiki who plays in normal(pussy) mode

"Hey, why don't we make two bosses with the same basic crap gimmick and put them in the same area so that there's a decent chance players will fight them back to back and quit playing?"
The devs, probably.

I just fought him and remembered a long time ago I wanted something he drops and read he's got alternative versions depending on what you do before the fight, so I came here to read what it was since I died. However, I'm reading people saying this is hard and I dunno why. I kinda did about 80% of his HP without much effort

One of those cancerous bosses where the ads are more annoying than the boss itself. But then again that's like 90% of this game's boss encounters.

There's a tip that I don't see anyone mention: Use the totem as a cover.
Enemy's attack will make it faster to destroy totem.
This is really a game-changing for me on nightmare.
I dit it, i kill this bastard on nightmare solo
My setup if someone was interested:
Wep1: "Twin shot",
W_Mod1: "Fan of knives"
// With this u can make damage to boss even when this monkey is jumping or you trying to survive. I love when it bleeding.
Wep2: "Ricochet Rifle"
W_Mod2: "Blink Token"
//The perfect weapon vis mobs. Just shoot in a ground and disk will automatically hit up to 4 enemies, and generate power to blinks.They can't evade ricochets! "Blink Token" is using for making damage to totems. You can destroide it for 3 blinks, also this mod help to dodge the Lighning strike if you have no time to run away.
Other eqpment: "Void Armor set", "Twisted idol"(to faster dodging and more armor agains mob'*****s), "Burden of the follower"(+100% Power Generation), "Heart of The Wolf" (to running faster)
"Glutton" with "Adrenaline", and "Status Traits" are welcome.
Tip: lighning needs a time to accelerate full speed, use sprint after a while when it charge a little bit. Blink or adrenaline like second option.
Tip1: turrets is nerfed, the ricochet gun is muuuuch better.

What THE F*CK to do with lightning? It'***** me even when i dodging, i can't run away from it also.
ps: i try on nightmare, but what a hell should be on Apocalypse?

At least once at nightmare solo. Once! I suggest to kill this boss to each gamedisigner wich make such terrible balance! How much times i died before on a nightmare? 1-2 for each boss, and what about this? 50 times! Why the difference is so big? It is ok? Or i need to found only one working build special for this damn monkey?

Just beat this world boss on Normal difficulty, using a hardcore character, and did not get the Ring. This information is either incorrect, or there is just a chance of it being dropped.

Missing in above information: depending on the colour of the totem he switching fighting strategy. When you want to get the spear, the boss will use more melee attacks and spend less time on the pillars, while the adds he spawns are using crossbow. When going going for the long gun, he will shoot more while on top of the pillars, and the adds he spawns are melee. So if you dont care about the weapon, I'd recommend shooting him from the pillars, I found his melee attacks much harder. Also I noticed (with melee boss) he is glitchable. Walk backwards as he chases you for a melee until your back is against the fog wall or stone wall near it, and he will stop attack for a while, I got 5 free close range headshots before he started moving again making this much easier.

the totem is before the most to the left. You can shoot the gold switches on the side to change the totem from red to blue/vice versa, and choose which item you get from the boss.

How do I even find this world boss. I noticed on youtube that in game maps vary is it true the the game plays out different depending on the choices that are made?

This boss is ridiculous solo! Can't kill the mobs quick enough to stay on top of the battle to destroy the totems. This is where my playthrough may end. Co-op is last resort.

aye what's with all the boss names seemingly missing, is the game not out yet or is this section of the wiki still in heavy development
Totem to change boss reward is on the left side after u climb the stairs before entering boss arena. Shoot it's golden plated hands to change rewards, if blue body outside u ll get craftable gun as reward, if red outside u ll get a spear as reward after beating the boss.
