You have to play the game more to see the main missions, I think.

Do some more side quests or unlock forge towers. And when you get to certain areas, try scouting in wraith mode to see captains / use uruks to gain intel on captains.

Story missions are sometimes locked behing certain requirements. So just keep playing around and you should be able to get to them. Don't forget to check the map legend/markers for the different mission icons. And you have the captain screen to help mark targets on the map.

Hope that helps~

I've already logged just under 2 hours into the game in which I've have completed several side quests and captured a few forge towers also regarding the captains, I have one marked who just so happens to be located where the main mission is supposed and it even says he is located at the mission start so he ties in with the campaign mission. I went over to the area where he should have been and he or the mission start wasn't there, I knew he should've been because I had previously played this game but on console (new to pc gaming).

I tried clearing the game cache and giving it a fresh install but still the same issue.

Thanks for the reply though and trying to help it's highly appreciated.

Sorry to bring this thread up again in 2019, but we still having similar Issue. Main Mission is not showing in the map. Have killed countless Captains, but 2 Main Mission captains won't showed up, so can't progress any further. Is there anyone already solved this issue.

The green comment confused me so much for what it could have been lol

Have you tried doing the search function (special view) in the game from different parts of the specified area to locate the captains so they can be identified if that's what you are suppose to do?

I remember some captains need to be lured out a certain way by performing some actions, also.

If you can provide the captain names or possibly the mission name(s), that might help. Feel free to friend me to speak directly or if there is time, you can maybe do a quick broadcast if possible.

Hope that helps~

The 2 captains are: Gimub the Slaver and Ratgab the Coward, and yes I've been searching the green areas within the Wraith Mode too, also these captains are not inside the green area, but pointed just by an icon related to them.

Sorry I can not do the Broadcast. :(

Can you show a screenshot of your map then? There should be a gold colored mission waypoint to start it before Gimub shows up.

And then I think you go to Ratbag after all the gold color icons are done on the map.

I'm pretty sure I use to just complete whatever possible before the next part popped up.

Yeah, that doesn't seem right.

I've read that sometimes there is a bug where if you can't start a main mission, that you need to play on a new save file. I'm not sure why that is, but if you feel you can run through the content swiftly on a new save file, I would hope that will fix the problem.

I'm actually having the game install now before I go to work so I can rush through and test it for you though when I get home.

So I started new game, did the intro, jumped off tower, had an auto-encounter with some Uruks, and then bee-lined it to Gimub's mission location.

Then I activated the mission by going to the marker that's clearly visible, I took out 4 archers as a bonus, and then I jumped from a high point and knocked down Gimub to take that screenshot.

I would say if there is no quest marker for the mission on the ground if you ran straight there... then just start a new game because it took only 10 minutes at max to reach it from the start.

Yeah I also thought so. But too bad coz in the current save my stats and achievements are already plenty.
Btw, thanks a lot for your help, mate! Really appreciate it. :)
