XCOM 2: How to Hunt the Chosen & Final Battle (XCOM 2 War of the Chosen)

the first time I fought Chosen Assassin there, they spawn lots of priests, I thought I could cheese it by focusing down the sarcophagus until they mind control all of my squads and I need to restart the game hahahahha, fml

On Legend each of the chosen were one shot executed. Two of them more than once.
Quite the anticlimax.

Is there a recommended minimum requirement before fighting any of them? I still don’t have powered armor or plasma weapons. I’m at rank 2 for everything except Templar machine pistol.

How do I vet to view the private videos for Season 6? Do I need to be a Patreon supporter?

Tapcat, are you planning on doing another play through of WOTC anytime soon?

Be careful of you didnt know DR Vhalens creations can pop up during missions. I had to deal with the hunter chosen AND gamma "viper king" at the same time

My taking down of chosen is that you kill enemies in the room without crossing half the room, so the chosen will not show up early. After this, ready the squad, crossing the room with one guy besides the reaper. After you locating the chosen, move the reaper and banish the chosen. With superior mag and repeater, best with shredding ability, the chosen will be killed in this one strike. Then destroy the sarcophagus, with chain shot, rapid fire, fan fare, team shot, make best effort that the sarcophagus is destroyed in this turn, next turn the chosen return with 1/3 of health, an easy target, piece of cake, even in highest difficulty.

Currently playing this on the switch. I have anxiety starting the assassin stronghold mission 😅

One thing to note is that the sarcophagus is technically a mechanical item, so blue screen rounds are essential for this.

Like 'Dodge' wasnt good enough, Shadowstepping them.

I killed all 3 pretty quickly in my first campaign.

The assassin was a nuisance because of the whole invisibility thing.

The hunter was a joke because of the whole targeting everything for a turn before he shoots thing.

The warlock was annoying because he tosses status effects like they're going out of style. Simply keeping enough troopers active to kill him was a PITA.

Once you finish them off and have their weapons the rest of the campaign is easy mode.

They only have 20hp, I attacked her with 2 soldiers, she died without doing any dmg

No idea why but i can't damage the sarcophagus! i know i need shoot it just after i killed the chosen but nothing :(, killed her like 3 times but the sarcophagus keeps inmune to my damage aarrgghhh.

I have a question about this DLC that I can't find the answer to anywhere. Can you get more than one Reaper/Skirmisher/Templar, or do you just get one of each type per campaign?

Another informative video as always, also do you think we'll be able to use the sarcophagus remains as an upgrade to something?

;3 thank you from mischief kitty here [ohh oh -is that a bellhop from Hotel California]
would DoT say a inncenary gren type launched on sarcoficy be the way to go?

You said you only get one chance. What happens if you FAIL the third mission in the chain and that squad you took wipes then?

Hey, can you do a build for the SPARK units?

Im looking forward to fighting the chosen.

if i remember correctly, when the chosen isn't healing the sarcophagus has a shield, so you have to defeat the chosen each time they come up, then attack the sarcophagus.

Tap at if I got this Dlc started a new campaign and became allies with the reapers would I ever have to unwilling fight the chosen and can I just complete the vanilla campaign ignoring the chosen and using the new gear and weapons. Sorry if the question doesn't make sense.

You know as much as I like developers to be transparent on content . Kinda feels like they released to much info to early you know ? Not that it's a bad thing but it takes aways some of the curiosity for that final battle with the chosen.

You aren't entirely correct in the time taken to resurrect. I believe that the lower health the sarcophagus is, the slower it regenerates the chosen, and also on lower difficulties it is slower. The reason I think this is because gamespot released a video where they played the last part of that exact same mission, but on a lower difficulty. It started by healing 36% and then, after significant damage the next turn, it went up to 56%, so I think that low health impedes the regeneration process.

You got a great voice there mate you should do PSA's (I think that's what you guys call them?) and whatnot.

I wonder if you could use rupture on the sarcophagus. That would certainly speed up the process of taking it down.

Also seems like having a bluescreen round gunslinger would be pretty ideal for taking down the sarcophagus fast. Knock out the chosen, then lightning hands, first action pistol shot, then fanfare. Assuming you can't miss the sarcophagus that'd be 25 bluescreen damage + the pistol damage from a single unit. Assuming bluescreen rounds damage the sarcophagus of course (and I don't see why they wouldn't). Damage would be even better if rupture does work on the sarcophagus and you set that up first.

Hi Tapcat, thanks for another informational video! BTW, do you believe the Chosen are immune to Stasis by psi-ops? If not, I believe it can be a very good strategy to put him/her on stasis right before killing he/she, thereby giving ourselves a lot more available moves in the next turn where we DO kill the chosen (and use those moves to damage the sarcophagus!).

So can we get 5 phoenix downs so we can self revive?
Or can we just cut the bullshit & have God come from the heaven's to help us through these hard battles?

Will you look into Phoenix point ?

I want there to be people playing multiplayer, I've not once seen anyone playing when I've been on there :(

Why do some people torture themselves with legend difficulty TapCat?

Hey TapCat, sorry this is off topic but I think I figured out why they nerfed the weapons. I'm pretty sure someone else figured it out and has said it but it's been stuck in my mind. It has to do with the breakthrough research but I'm not sure if it only affects damage or other stats. Any ideas?
As for the chosen that's going to put the most fear in me would be the hunter and his ability to grapple flank with his sniper/pistol combo

ohhhhhhhhh well time to stack on coka cola and chips

Also if a u don't want to bring all ur soilders to the ascension gate u can leave a solider behind and they will go back to the avenger

So basically the chosen are Cylons from battlestar galactica.

I do like the large number of new systems being added in this DLC. There just seems to be so many cool options for players to determine what they want to go for and use a their own playstyle. The only thing i'm worried about is players getting too powerful with all the special abilities from weapons/ruler armor/bonds/etc. When the devs did this stream it was on commander and they just destroyed the mission and granted thats not on legend but still seemed quite easy.

I want Doritos as a weapon in WOTC. Doritos are pointy as fuck.
