Stuck on Viper King mission
Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2017 10:32 pm
1 )Current Long War 2 version: 1.1 (I think - latest steam version)
2) I play on Steam
3) No other mods.
4) I was running a regular Long War 2 campaign on Rookie Iron Man. I had all the DLC material activated but I have never really played a DLC campaign in vanilla, so wasn't sure what to expect.
Anyways I decided to steer clear of the Ruler missions until my weaponry was a little better. Relatively early a Viper King mission spawned. After a while a second one. Then a third and finally a fourth.
I couldn't really tell whether this was part of XCOM2 DLC or Long War 2 but it started to bug me that I lost so many Intel Packs to those missions so I finally took them on, thinking perhaps they will not spawn anymore.
The first mission was a breeze and I walked through it flawlessly.
Killed the Viper King.
Then I went to do the second Viper King mission.
I figured perhaps I'm gonna meet a second long-war-ish Viper King. Perhaps there is a whole army now.
Perhaps there was such a mission for every type of king. I just didn't know.
Turned out the second mission was exactly like the first one uhm ok I thought and went on. Nothing too unusual to do maps over and over in the Long War right?
With one exception:
When I walked into the icy area where the King was supposed to be, no event triggered, nothing spawned.
The Viper King already dead did not appear a second time. I was stuck on the map.
Eventually I found a stray 2 HP snake in a corner that triggered the Viper King but he was transparent and could not be targeted.
I was still stuck.
Evac wasn't an option for the map. I think even if I were to kill off my entire squad, it would just ask me to repeat the mission (I haven't tried, yet).
5) I' ve got a save game.
Since it's Iron Man this means game over for me unless you can provide me with a mod or patch or something to escape this map.
