iMac stuck at boot. Recovery is not working

Hello,

I had an issue when updating the patcher. I downloaded the patches and got promoted to reboot. I did. The system turned on the apple logo appeared and then a bar began to load only to get stuck 1/4 of the way in. Troubleshooting guide said to restart the system hold esc to open the picker, then hit space and after that select the recovery option. However, doing this didn't load anything, i got the same bar that doesn't move.

Any help solving this issue is greatly appreciated.
