Stuck on Undead Raven Barracks Mission

[Raven]

So I've done really well in this mission, managed to survive through almost all of the objectives with relatively little damage taken... until now that is. I'm stuck with one objective that I CAN NOT find the marker for, or maybe there isn't one and it bugged out or something.
I'm left with "Locate the High Commander's Corpse" My leader has the key that triggers this objective but I've been absolutely EVERYWHERE in this keep and I simply can't find it. So here I am... wandering around through this blasted keep constantly fighting newly spawned enemies and slowly getting more and more damaged. Anyone help with this? I've googled this in about 20 different ways and no one has anything helpful for me.

Sorry, I cant help you because I've never played that mission. But Paranoia might know something if he shows up. Meanwhile, keep a save or let your dramatis Personae die so you can back out of the mission without consequences.

Haven't done this mission but it sounds like one of the things where you have to step a unit (not the special character) onto a specific point. In several missions it is possible to loot an objective item without triggering the "discover" objective for the item.

You can't see it but I'm smacking myself in the face right now. There wasn't any kind of glowy marker you just walk up to a very plain, unassuming door and the key opens it. Hooray for failing really hard at games. @_@

I'll remember this when I do this mission. Your efforts are not in vain, at least from my point of view. :)

Thank you. It's the door on the main level of the building to the left facing inward toward the keep from outside. For reference sake. So you don't go wandering around as much as I did. Though it was a good amount of additional exp I got from all that.

Good thing you found solution already.

And in static objective locations, there's a circle oftenmost on them in Overview Map. Not always, not always very exact in location (especially if the point is to find something), but often good enough.

Thanks for the tip about the corpse, but what I am having problems with is where are the other 2 levers? Time is running out here...

I admit straight away: it has been an year since I played the Mission, I do not recall much at all.

Where did you find the one lever?
Usual suspects are both of the big rooms and the basements themselves.
And can't recall, but have you checked the uppestmost parts of the left side of the Barracks.

Tip for reinforcements: go inside, and shut the gates that lead inside. That way the enemy reinforcements that spawn outside can not reach you.

Aye the commanders key - that one stumped me on first run as the commander spawned on the left who I killed with ranged units and had no access to his body at all (or so I thought on first run) so abandoned the mission after a period of frustration :)

@Paranoia the first lever was on top of a cask in the storeroom before the crypts. I hadn;t occurred to me to try those other places, I will. And thanks for the gates tip.
