Sapphire West! Please ❤ Great playthrough. I'd just finished playing it when you started. I've enjoyed being taken to school! It was awesome. Thank you 🤗
It wasn't as hard as I expected. The commander's avatar is full strength, and I took two psi operatives, which are still pretty viscous with basic psi amps. I don't remember if weapon attachments have to be base tier as well, but most soldiers had repeaters for a few lucky insta-kills. Yeah, it'll be the hardest mission of the campaign, but it isn't a keep-reloading-until-you-finally-get-it kind of hard (not that reloading is an option in an ironman campaign).
Soldiers, you are about to enter a deadly unknown place, the fate of humanity is on your shoulders. Now. I had a little argument with Tygan, who said we couldn't have done it without his gear, so you will use obsolete weapons and armor to ensure, uh, your success.
@@goldengolem4670 Also if you check the model, I'm pretty sure its the same design as the xcom 1 laser pistol. Dude was hanging on to that gun since the first war.
OH! you got 12 kills since you "killed" the Andromedon twice: once for the pilot, once for shell, so it got double counted! man I'm excited for the finale of this series, this is awesome as all hell! can't wait to see who ends up going!
"I don't know what Tygan was smoking to call these 'new recruits', but..." Caught me completely off guard and had me rolling. Only makes the 'Who Needs Tygan?' achievement next ep even better! Good luck!
With no research to di Tigan seems to be smoking the good stuff! Regardless though, I think that he deserves it. He's been so helpful through this series, and Regardless the end is nigh. I Hope that everything goes well
Unknown to all, Tygan's workaholism was standing in for his unresolved substance abuse issues. He went on a break and promptly got so zooted that he insulted X-Com soldiers by calling them rookies, so everyone decided they'll do the last mission without his gear, just to spite him. He doesn't know yet, seeing as he started celebrating the humanity's victory early.
A great way to make the hard ending even harder - going for Who needs Tygen. Nice! It's been a great playthrough and how you remember all the small but important tactical details, I don't know. It's amazing that you never really lost control of a mission or lost a single soldier. My fear about Ironman is always that even if you start OK, at any point and after hours of hard work, you can get nailed and lose one or more soldiers who you've spent ages working on. So well done! It won't change the way that I play at this stage, I enjoy it too much to try and be so lethal at such high costs. Can't wait for the final round.
The final battle approaches! It has been a long ride but what a ride it has been! Now show those alien bastards what humanity is about, Vigilo Confido!!!
Thank you for showing off Mox's battle lord ability! By the time I unlock that in my own games the steamroller effect has usually come to full strength, and the aliens never get much of a turn, making it hard to see in action.
I feel like the "try to draw less attention to ourselves than we already do" needs to be juxtaposed with the image of half a building missing, corpses littering the ground, and the area on fire at around 27:42
I can't believe it's nearly over; but I'm on the edge of my seat for the final fight and achievement... Out of all the challenges, this one seems to be one of the most menacing, so good luck Commander Pete!
Pete - insane series. Thank you for delivering such brilliant videos. Excited for next week, but also a bit sad. Been here since Episode 1 and looking forward to what you decide to run with next. Good luck with the who needs Tygan achievement!
Man , Im gonna miss this series, I really hope Pete will consider 40k daemonhunter, just cause late game abilities is broken, I saw a streamer demolish a boss, would be fun to see and good luck on the last video
Not getting 6 psyops for who needs tygan is pretty bloody brave, that one is hard enough as is but you are doing it on legendary as well. Good luck you absolute madlad
@@ceu160193 Hmm you have a point but i usually just stasis spam sectopods, deal with the rest then repeat. That worked pretty well when i messed up and activated 2 sectopods at the same time by accident.
If you really wanted to be cheeky; the reaper technically breaks this entire mission. Just sneak to the end in shadow mode and activate the broadcast; job done. Though I'm sure you're aware of it and I appreciate you choosing not to be the Lord of the Cheese. =P And as always, ggwp. Edit: Actually with the map you rolled, that wouldn't have worked; but that's just a spot of poor luck. That being said, if you packed a couple mimic beacons and gave the reaper a refraction field, it wouldn't matter if you broke concealment as you would be able to distract them and reconceal enough times to bypass every pod.
i could feel that execute on that andromedon a full 4 seconds before it happened. something about repeaters and reapers love triggering on the hulky brutes...
Oh man, it has been a long journey. All good things come to an end, and as such, I am looking forward to part 2 of this long campaign epilogue! Was mulling over how you are going to get the "Who Needs Tygan" achievement. Good luck, I want to see how you do it. Edit: First time I ever see Battlelord being used. One of those situations where it is very useful.
I know that you've already put out the poll for whats next but i just wanted to suggest Warhammer 40k Chaos gate: Daemon hunters from a couple years back as a future option too. also great stuff you always put out great entertainment.
I know you're ready to wrap up the series but would you consider recordjng two endings, one using modern weapoons in last mission and one without? This would allow us to see the difference in effort needed for the achievement. Pretty please!
WIth no research and a critical blow to the advent network, Tygan is smoking a victory joint calling everyone rookies. No wonder they are going to ditch his tech next mission.
Yo Pete, how about some Darkest Dungeon 2 when you finish this series? You don't need to have played Darkest Dungeon 1, as they're different genres, and it would be exciting to see you grandslam DD2!
It have been a long road, now we are upon the end. The series will be missed, but something new will come, and life will go on, looking forward to the conclusion.
Who do you want to see for the final mission? Any final tips before the grand finale? Enjoy :)

You definitely need to do a chimera squad playthrough
Julian definitely need to return for the final mission
You HAVE to bring Julian! Give him one last chance to shine!
Could it be that the game counts Andromedons as two kills? The number would add up to twelve in that case...
Sapphire West! Please ❤ Great playthrough. I'd just finished playing it when you started. I've enjoyed being taken to school! It was awesome. Thank you 🤗
Good Luck with the 'Who needs Tygan?' achievement!
That sounded awful to complete 😂

@@Nossral Yeah, that achievement was a torment for me to obtain. I don't see myself doing that on Ironman Legendary. Good luck to Pete for that.
29:21 An archon, two heavy mechs, and a pigeon!
@@LuminousLead omg Advent turned the goverment drones against humanity xD
That "who needs Tygan?" Achievement sounds both brutal and disrespectful towards the poor guy haha, such a weird funny thing.
I lol’d at the completely unbothered pigeon
that pigeon knows no fear fr
The end is nigh! Been a ride. One I’ve been following since the beginning. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
If Julian isn't in the finale we riot
If Julian doesn't miss another 99% in the finale, we riot.
Oh yeah. He's sending winners of the polls. You all know who wins by a landslide.
Soldiers, you are about to enter a deadly unknown place, the fate of humanity is on your shoulders. Now. I had a little argument with Tygan, who said we couldn't have done it without his gear, so you will use obsolete weapons and armor to ensure, uh, your success.
RIP to the Spokesman, the unsung hero of Humanity's resistance against the Alien menace.
Absolute chad one shot a trooper with a pistol, must be gunslinger sharpshooter.
@@goldengolem4670 Man, he was on that covert mission for a _long_ time, then, but it paid off in the end!
@@goldengolem4670 Also if you check the model, I'm pretty sure its the same design as the xcom 1 laser pistol. Dude was hanging on to that gun since the first war.
@@MomirViggwilv Yupp i noticed that too. That also makes cannon that the commander didnt get to plasma tech
But is he dead ? We have no proof, maybe he's going to pop out in Xcom 3.
You saying "I'm not sure what Tygan has been smoking to call them new recruits" made me laugh out loud! Haha!
Man. Council speaker for MVP of this episode 😢
29:21 slowly rotating low geometry pigeon lmao

35:40 had my dying with Petes comment! good luck with the who needs Tygan achievement next episode i can't wait for the season finale!
Pigeon provided spotting, MVP Pigeon
The first time I saw the "last" cutscene with the Speaker was incredibly intense.
With no research to di Tigan seems to be smoking the good stuff!

I Hope that everything goes well

@6:21 Firaxis' then studio art director's name appears at the top-left of the network tower schematic as an easter egg.

I started watching this series in the spring of last year, while in therapy after a mental breakdown. It helped me heal too 😊
29:22 That's a huge ass pidgeon right there.
On the roof
they evolved larger sizes because of the aliens
I feel like the "try to draw less attention to ourselves than we already do" needs to be juxtaposed with the image of half a building missing, corpses littering the ground, and the area on fire at around 27:42
29:22 last enemys of the mission are an Archon two Heavy Mechs and a Domestic Pigeon.
Totally new channel for me. Came for a few tips on how to approach the meta-game of X-com. Stayed for the whole series.
I can't believe it's nearly over; but I'm on the edge of my seat for the final fight and achievement... Out of all the challenges, this one seems to be one of the most menacing, so good luck Commander Pete!
Thank you, Pete! This series has been a wonderful ride.
Pete - insane series.

Probably more optimal would be 4 psyops + 2 specialists with haywire protocol, so you can turn robots against their former masters as well.
@@ceu160193 Hmm you have a point but i usually just stasis spam sectopods, deal with the rest then repeat. That worked pretty well when i messed up and activated 2 sectopods at the same time by accident.
Superb execution! Looking forward to the finale.
oh boi, love when the notification drops, thanks Pete!
I'm sad the series is almost over, but I've also super excited!
This is still my favorite playthrough of XCOM on TH-cam, and the grand finale is next!

Now question is, can reaper do same in finale and put down all avatars without getting detected.
i could feel that execute on that andromedon a full 4 seconds before it happened.
something about repeaters and reapers love triggering on the hulky brutes...
Oh man, it has been a long journey. All good things come to an end, and as such, I am looking forward to part 2 of this long campaign epilogue!

One final mission, gentlemen. Can't wait to see how Pete annihilates Leviathan with conventional weapons.
Great idea for the final mission, looking forward to it!
I just woke up, but when I looked at the thumbnail, I thought I was looking at some kind of guest speaker, and that pete was doing an interview.
I personally always have Mox and Dragonova on the final mission when I play it. It just feels fitting.
I know that you've already put out the poll for whats next but i just wanted to suggest Warhammer 40k Chaos gate: Daemon hunters from a couple years back as a future option too. also great stuff you always put out great entertainment.
the mvp idea is genius! excited for the final :)
Never sat right with me, the way Agent 47 goes out mostly off-screen.
Tygan's been indulging in some of those Advent Hamburgers I think.
time to prepare some snacks for the final episode! can't wait
Great series,thank you Pete!
Make sure you spend all the ability points on the 6 soldiers before the mission. You can also use the elerium cores to put them into mint condition.
Hey Pete! I think you would really enjoy a Midnight Suns walkthrough!
I'm glad you missed a 99%er in this run. It wouldn't be complete, without it.
Can't wait for the final episode
Lmao at the advent speaker getting beaten to death by angry mobs
Probably escaped them anyway, as it seems to be one of original Thin Men.
Maybe do a short episode showcasing each Colonel (or equivalent) rank soldiers skill trees so we can remember who's who and then do a swath of votes?
I've not been keeping track but I'd love to see Sapphire West once more!
I have hype beyond hype!
29:20 - pigeon)
35:48 new recruits 🤣
I'm gonna be so sad that this series ends. Doubly so since it seems BG3 is the followup and I'll only have Rimworld left to watch for three years.
Can't belive it is so long since the beginning of the series. I could watch another seventy episode. Hell of a ride, can't wait to see the finale.
Hi Pete!
Good luck!
I know you're ready to wrap up the series but would you consider recordjng two endings, one using modern weapoons in last mission and one without? This would allow us to see the difference in effort needed for the achievement. Pretty please!
WIth no research and a critical blow to the advent network, Tygan is smoking a victory joint calling everyone rookies. No wonder they are going to ditch his tech next mission.
Extra enemy shown killed in stats screen might be andromedon and it's shell
Good luck!
Good Luck with the 'Who needs Tygan?' achievement next week!
Yo Pete, how about some Darkest Dungeon 2 when you finish this series? You don't need to have played Darkest Dungeon 1, as they're different genres, and it would be exciting to see you grandslam DD2!
kind of sad to see this series come to an end after two years - could look at XCOM content for at least two more years 🤣
He could go back to XCOM 1 and do a Long War playthrough.
We have almost taken down the alien gods!
Onyl one more episode to go!
i was looking back at the MVP polls, and there is a slight chance we might see Julian the spark ne more time
It have been a long road, now we are upon the end. The series will be missed, but something new will come, and life will go on, looking forward to the conclusion.
i want what ever tygan was smoking 😂
"I expected something of a learning curve for the new recruits" dude ? wtf !
mox was definitely MVP o7
wait are you going to be doing the last mission with regular bullets and armor? If so that will definitely be fun to see
The 12th enemy was the andromedon shell
Nooooooooooo ! Council Speaker !
yes bruv.
35:43 lol
Lets Gooo!
We’re gonna SEE JULIAN AGAIN????
What would have been in the research menu, after everything is researched now?
Will you do videos on the blast from the past side missions?
Of course you can't take Tygans gear. Who knows what he has been smoking?
I really liked baldurs gate 3, sad its not coming back :/
Do kinda wish you didn't take out the chosen so that they would appear all at once in the final mission and make things more interesting
🎉
Did the Andromedon count as 2 enemies because of the shell?
Giant pigeon overwatcher
Have you considered Rogue Trader for your next series.
I'd watch that. Or Pathfinder.
Oh that would be _goooood_
What is that
Long war mod next?
Why must all good things come to an end?
