- In this video on Escape from Tarkov Boss lore and history, we look at the two fearsome brothers, Killa and Tagilla, and what little information there is in-game about them.
Some fighters call themselves brothers in arms. The bonding experience of being in combat together binds those who go through it. Tarkov is no exception. But what if you were also blood brothers too? Fighting side by side for not only your group, but for your family as well. If that road meant going to some very dark places, would you do it? For family? This is what little information there is about the two most fearsome brothers in Tarkov.
The shops of the ultra shopping complex have long since been looted. Most of the unlocked rooms were torn into long ago, with clothes, food and electronics all being spirited away. By the time the PMC factions had made it to the mall, there was barely anything worth scavenging. As they checked around for anything still left behind, they found what looked like a keycard reader next to one of the doors. As they were trying to work out how to open it, they hear a metal clink on the floor behind them. Before they have time to react, a blinding flash illuminates their vicinity. A loud burst of fully automatic gunfire rings out across the area, and then silence. This is just one of many such stories of encounters with the scav boss they call Killa.
Killa, a lone fighter and a fashion freak. He is a former athlete, was brought up by the street, recognizes only his own rules, prefers action to conversation.
This guy has good equipment, wearing heavy armor and hand-customized helmet. He is a very dangerous enemy.”
There is next to no information about Killa's background. Literally the only reference we can find to him in the game is from the quest huntsman path - sellout, which describes him as such:
" I heard that there was that one person - a former athlete, he's already been racketing before the war, and now as he has felt more power than ever, he's killing everyone indiscriminately. People call him Killa, and his helmet... you won’t miss it." There is some text in the desciption for the Stylish one quest, but ragman just calls him a stylish asshole.
The only other scrap of information about Killa can be found in a strange place. Behind the urinals in the toilets of the burger bar, there's a keycard reader. If you happen to have found either a 21ws or 11sr keycard, you can open either a shipping container full of weapons or a safe room, filled with valuables that also acts as an extract. This room is obviously meant to be Killa's saferoom, where he stores the best of the loot he's found and where he chooses to sleep. It's interesting that the cards used to access this room are old Terragroup access cards. Could the mall once have been used by the company, hiding behind Emercom once it became a major evacuation hub in the area?
Beyond this, there was no other information about Killa in the public domain. This was until the advent of patch 12.11, which brought Killa's brother Tagilla to Tarkov. He dwells in the factory zone and his name in Russian is Nachal'nik Zavoda, which roughly translates to Plant Manager. Jaeger again provides us with some more background on this fearsome beast:
"Good health to you, hunter. The old chemical plant has a new menace to it. There's this new psycho, Scavs call him Tagilla. And from what I've heard of him, I actually know him from back when I worked there. He worked in that factory, always tried to follow his brother's steps, wanted to surpass him in everything. They say he even borrowed the helmet idea from his brother. Ordered some experts to make his mask bulletproof. And apparently, the bullets really knocked his brains off, because now he's running around the factory with a sledgehammer, sending everyone to the heavens indiscriminately."
So we can see from this quest that Tagilla wants to follow in his brother's footsteps, which could mean that Killa also at one time worked at the factory too. In any case, if he was the plant manager of Chemical plant no.16, he would have been working there when it was under the control of Terragroup, so he must have some knowledge about the shady dealings and experiments of the company. Looking at his stature and behaviour, would it be any surprise if Terragroup were experimenting on him too?
Regardless of their circumstances, both bosses are fearsome enemies that will absolutely destroy unprepared PMCs. If they were both in the employ of Terragroup, or at least around when the crisis kicked off, it could explain their bloodthirsty disposition of killing PMCs and Scavs on sight. Were they both driven to madness by a crazy company's experiments and are out for revenge? Again, with so little information to go on, only time will tell what their backstory has to say.

Imagine if you came to see Tagilla while wearing the full Killa outfit. Maybe he wouldn't attack you. Would make a great easter egg !
I love that idea haha! Would make sense though...how would he tell?
And that he would attack you if he heard your pmc voice
pretty sure he would get more pissed off if anything. if someone pulls up and is wearing my blood brothers gear I'd use my flashbangs before using nades to make em suffer.
They need to add a very low chance that one of the brothers can be in the other Brothers map, So you have to fight the both of them. They could add a cool mechanic where if you kill one of the brothers the other brother raged rushes you with lethal force
That makes so much sense! It should have been like that from the start really. They had Killa on Factory when Tagilla first got added so it's not like they can't do it. Imagine him chasing you all the way through the mall haha
Tagillas russian name translates more to "foreman" than "manager" but still close
Awesome, thanks for the clarification! And thanks for watching!
I think foreman has a pretty different connotation to it though, to me that feels like a significant distinction
It’s like george foreman because he hits like a truck
How tall is Tagilla ? Ill assume the PMCs are average male height of 5'10 but this guy looks like an entire foot taller when hes within hammering range
I’m a year late and a dollar short, but the most widely agreed upon estimate is 6’6-6’7, he is one of the tallest in game characters.
@@Chaosgremlin69420 my own canon says, Tagilla is a hommage to Andre the Giant!
Tachanka: Finally, a worthy opponent.
Everyone talks about the editing, and rightfully so, it’s very impressive, but what I really appreciate is your ability to find and tell a story, with what limited info we’re given it’s really something special to find someone putting this amount of effort to connect the dots and theorize on the parts where there aren’t many dots left to connect, incredible work my friend. I look forward to watching your content evolve as the game does!
Thanks very much for the comment Lil B, really appreciate you taking the time to watch and enjoy! I really hope they start to flesh out the lore a bit more as it's what makes the game more interesting, rather than just the mindless killing haha. Thanks again!
Great video. I really hope bsg sheds more light on the bosses lore they all seem very interesting.
Thanks 3pound! Yeah I really hope they put some more effort into it, there's literally no info beyond Jaeger's quest descriptions so fingers crossed
It's interesting how many of the game's major players were Factory employees before everything went to hell.
Nicely edited videos with the visuals and music and lore itself. Well done ✨
I think it would be a crazy touch that if you were wearing for example killas helmet and you see tagilla in factory, he would have special voicelines where he curses you for killing his brother and that he is even more aggressive and ruthless toward you. And the other way around of course
inb4 3k damn.
I can't believe you don't have more subs yet. I honestly never looked, but I always thought you had tens of thousands.
Boi you bout to blow tf up, G.
Thanks for the kind words Tyler! Means a lot you enjoy the videos! We'll get that 3k in no time!
Damn ur editing is good bro
Hey, so I don't know if this is the proper place to say this. I'm letting you know that I want to credit you as a resource for new players to learn about Tarkov lore in a video I am releasing!
Hi Snake, I'm really sorry for the late response, took some time away from YT due to work and real life etc. Absolutely no problem at all, if you ever want or need any help from me on anything, feel free to get in touch, I should be a bit more active now haha.
Well, it seems like the brothers united!
bro just runned through whole interchange backwards just to record intro.
Amazing 0 dislikes!!! (This may change now that I’ve said that) also how do you do those animations?
Hey EliteZ, sorry for the late reply, thanks for the motivational comment haha! In this video, I used a lot of different effects; the intro was done with keyframe tracking and reversing the game footage, and I did the PMC and Killa animations in a combination of Blender and some ArmA 3 Tarkov mods and a greenscreen environment, then used keying to remove the green, then I composited it all and blended it the best I could! Hope that explains it a bit!
Ngl this video hits harder than tagillas hammer
Tagillas hammer accidentally creates nuclear reactions dough
Sick intro btw, nice video all around, got me as a new sub for this great work
Ah thanks! Loved making it so thanks for noticing! And thanks for the sub, really means a lot!
Nice vid.
This is very good 👍
An amazing video
My brother is always stealing my ideas.
Načaljnik zavóda - is factory's headman
Maybe it’s just me, but the quick camera pans are slightly motion sickness provoking
Ah sorry about that, trying something new with the editing. Thanks for the feedback though and I'll keep it in mind for the next one!
Pink thumbnail sparks joy
Nice man keep up
Thanks man!
Oh god the arma example of the pmcs genuis
0:12 *Me and my younger brother laying in D-2*
Just came across your channel this video was sick! Im definitely dropping a sub! Stick to it bro you've got what it takes!
What is the intro music?
Tagilla jumped over my bullet and shot me with a 50cal in the face
Intro music? Love the vid ❤
There should be a chance killa and tagila spawn together
What’s the music name ?
what edititng software did you use?
and how did you make the animation mocap? pleaseeeee respond
a colder person is killa from tarkov im ngl
I one taped him yesterday with an infantry Mosin just because he just looked intro a corner, I didn't even know what scave i have killed and just said "Wait what that was Killa ?" one raid later I marked my last tank on shoreline and one taped Sanitar doing the same looking intro the void on a corner shit.
IDK why but bosses are kinda No brain as of lately, maybe their AI I Bugged "I know it is not it is just Trakove"
hmm the terragroup safehouse for Killa, what if he was with terragroup in a way, maybe them testing sports enhancing drugs on him since he's an athlete
Where is part 1? I can’t find it. Is it delisted or am I blind?
Hey, it's the Reshala vid, just made the whole lot into parts :)

ТАГИЛ ПАЦАНЫ
Until I saw this video I thought killa was a woman, idk why I thought that or where I got it from lol
HIII
YOOOOO
@@tarkovtales2955 It was a great vid loved it!!
Rast
Well, Tachanka is still better 😅
Agree, Killa doesn't even have his own voice lines!
По русски блть
Its Russian, english rules do not apply to it even if its Romanized. And its a G not a J. if it was Romanized as Tajilla, then I'd forgive you, but it wasn't. Also you can hear people say his name in the game in random NPC dialogue, they say Tagilla. As a fellow english speaker I understand the confusion, but as a linguist in multiple languages I cannot forgive this mispronunciation. Its a strong G, not a soft J. Ta GIlla.
