The Archon Autopsy is a research project in XCOM 2.

In-Game Description[]

Proposal[]

An aesthetically impressive specimen, the hidden horrors of melding organic tissue with the inner workings of a machine are well-disguised here. The unique melee weapon employed by the creature could be of particular interest to our Rangers.

Autopsy Commentary[]

The product of an extensive fusion of alien biological material and advanced mechanical support systems, the Archon is an unusually ornate design by alien standards. With an air of authority spurred by its distinctive appearance, I can only assume the aliens intended it to be something of a herald to the other forces.

Project Report[]

Codename: Balseraph

Brief eyewitness accounts, including one from our own Central Officer Bradford indicate that the aliens once fielded a similar biomechatronic organism during the earliest days of the invasion. Those reports however, describe a much more gruesome and rudimentary creature versus the subject we encounter in the present day. The modern specimen could almost be described as elegant in appearance; an authoritative, intimidating figure with the advanced weaponry to match. R.Tygan

Notes[]

  • 5/5/5/8 corpses are needed for instant research.
