Skulljacking a codex?

[Hekatonkheires]

Any recommendations on how to survive doing this? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing heals and teleports away every time it is hit, I don't understand how I am supposed to damage it. It would be hard enough on it's own, but naturally sectopod patrols wander into the fight as well...

skull jack will kill it if succesful, best hit a clone, and you know what happened the first time you did a skulljack....

also seems you get a codex in every mission once that quest opens so no rush, to do it wait for the ideal time

Yes, the thing that comes out AFTER you skulljack is what I am talking about.

ah, I was expecting it, so had nearly full squad ready, grenades lots of themm helped, the new one didn't get a chance to do anything

was running 3 grenadiers ( 2 col 1 maj) face-off sharpshooter(col) specialist (col) and psi (magus) also was commander difficulty

Clear out everything else, find a huge open space, stand apart but not too far apart and burst that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ down. Yeah the first time i fought one was annoying since I didn't see it coming but that guy goes down very quickly if you have a decent sniper.

I killed him first try, got lucky to get a codex as the last enemy... after that, well just unload on the thing that spawns, its reasonably squishy, also grenades/ammo with dots help a lot.
