Alien Fortress 1 Avatar Remaining

[NeKryXe]

i'm in a mission called "Alien Fortress", and supposedly i have to kill 3 avatars. the first 2 were very easy to find, and i got them in a few minutes, but the last one never appeared and i never stopped being attacked, and for about 5 hours i tried to survive waiting for the last avatar to appear. now there are so many characters in the arena that my computer is running extremely slow. i'm playing in veteran mode, so it is not very difficult, but i'm really tired and i'm not understanding what should happen. at one side it says to kill one avatar remaining but in the other side it says that my avatar must survive, since my avatar is the only avatar in the game that i saw in the last 5 hours, what should i do? should i let my avatar get killed? is that the last avatar remaining? i didn't have any problem understanding the first XCOM, but if this is the last mission of XCOM2, then they did a really bad job explaining the objective :\

i'm going to save (good thing i wasn't playing in ironman mode) and quit now, a bit disappointed because i was really enjoying the game and this mission ruined all the fun. i hope that someone can explain me the point of this mission and if there are an end to it.

Commander's avatar doesn't count, there's 3 enemy avatars to kill. Are you sure you saw only the 2 you killed? The only bug I know about the last fight happens if you put acid or poison or burn on a avatar..then he runs to the starting area of the map and you have to chase him.
Restart the mission and avoid putting any status on a avatar or try to go back in the level to see if he's there..but I remember I saw him doing his turn standing stiĺl so it's like a new bug to me.

yep, i'm sure i killed only 2. i think i saw an animation with a third one entering in a group but i never saw him in the game. anyway, later i'll try to reach the beginning of the map, i never left the arena and i wasn't aware that it could happen. it'll be hard to join all because i have all characters spread in the arena, but i'll try. thanks for the tip.

it was fun in the first hours, but then the computer started to run really slow and i got tired. at this point i'm playing with 10 characters, my 6 troops, 1 avatar and 3 other ones controlled by my 2 PSI and my avatar. it makes it easy, and i've been trying to kill all enemies at each round, but it got out of control at some point. the bad thing is that i really don't believe that i'll be able to do this level in commander difficulty, so, i'm losing the interest in trying it, and that didn't happen to me in first XCOM.

Are you camped out in a corner of the map? The last avatar could be out of your line of sight, and not moving closer because the AI doesn't want to engage you with too many enemies at once. Move deeper into the map...

That's new. Do they teleport or just run there?

no, all characters are always moving around the last big arena, i wouldn't survive so long camping :) ...i'm going to try again now, but only for one hour or so :')

He's sitting next to his spawn point, waiting. It happened to me, I was sure I need to come for him. Luckily some event triggered him to run to the center. Some enemies that spawn far away also don't move. Last cryssalid and berserker pack dawdle at their portals (thanks god)

you were both right, i just found the damn avatar in the first room :') ...i can't even believe that i stand for such a hell for so long while the guy was camping in the beginning. thanks a lot for your tips, problem solved ;)

No problem, i had the same happening to me twice. It happens when he has a dot on him.

They teleport and run below the floor, or just run into the floor. It's confusing but I figured it out because I somehow recognized the architecture of the first room.
