XCOM 2: War of the Chosen Message Board  

I had this issue, it is purely because of the sight radius of your soldiers, or it was in my game, modifying your sight radius to be larger triggers certain things inside the last room of the strong hold out of order making it so the chosen does not spawn. I hd a hell of a time figuring that out on my own, but It's been a week or 2 since i did this so this may be a little off, but what i did was reload to before the stronghold, edit the sight radius of everyone back to normal which i believe is like 27 or something close to that, then played through that mission again. this fixed the problem so that when i approached the sarcophagus the correct scene triggered and the chosen spawned. good luck, hope this helps.

Can confirm just got the game and 3 different play through's I got stuck same place each time Finally I set Number 7 and 0 to 25 instead of 99 and cycled through my current team inside the mission setting all 7/0's to 25 and then ended my turn, the cut scene immediately showed up and game continued onward. 😀

Another solution is to use TTC/TATC in the console to move your units to the sarcophagus side of the first right pew. That seems to be the trigger point for the spawning of the Chosen. It can take a few tries to get on the right spot.

Yes, a bit of a necro, but I just had the issue when catching up to WotC.

I had the same problem, the assasin would not spawn and the cutscene for he/she spawning would not trigger, SOLVED it by playing with the console command I used the TATC cheat to spawn my entire team around that room and finally the cutscene triggered and she spawned.
