Brand the Warchiefs 4/5 STUCK

[Zant]

So I'm at the stage of the story where I've completed every story mission but the one available to me next, which requires that I "Brand the Warchiefs", telling me to get all five under my control. This seems a perfectly reasonable objective, if not for the fact that when I got it, only FOUR Warchiefs were alive. I was able to brand and manipulate my Uruks into the slots of the four living Warchiefs, but the one that I had killed before the mission began remains dead, and the slot untaken. Now I can't seem to get another Uruk promoted to that position, and obviously there's no living Warchief in that position to "Brand" or "Betray" my way through. Any ideas?

I hardly think with a "Nemesis system" this well thought out the ONLY solution to basic game mechanics working against you is to restart the game :(

its a bug, but what can you do?

UPDATE: Okay, using the "Advance Time" function from Forge Towers automatically refills any critical positions, such as Warchiefs, with other captains. I hadn't needed to use the function thus far so I didn't know it would help. Hopefully other people that might get stuck see this. (Also: I had branded all the other captains in my boredom, so I instantly got 5/5 upon advancing time, as a branded captain went into the Warchief position)

Ty! Was wondering how to get a new warchief

Or you could have dominated one of your captains and selected the empty Warchief spot which would have generated a mission, once completed the selected captain would be promoted to that spot.

Thank you so much! The "Advance Time" function from Forge Towers worked like a charm. I had the same problem with 4 warchiefs and missing one. Advance Time worked perfectly. Though is a 3 years old topic, the solution worked. Again, thank you!

Sadly, doesn't work that way. Only time they will be auto-branded is doing missions for your branded leaders. Regular Uruks will remain their own Uruk.

Sir Crashalot has the quickest solution to this problem. Assuming you had a branded captain on standby.
