Has anyone else had trouble completing the "Defeat Mass Def and his men" mission in Kings Row from Phillipa Meraux?

I defeated all opponents I can find, have the whole map revealed, defused the bomb, and found two out three hostages.

Any one else have trouble finding the third hostage to complete the mission?

If I had to guess (which I do), the third hostage and the mob guarding it may have spawned in a somewhat odd place...

In warehouses;

  • On top of shelving units and spiral ramps in those 90 degree hallway turns
  • Underneath ramps (notably in the big 'end room' that 90% of all warehouses have)
  • behind/inbetween shipping containers. Usually in the room with the stacks and stacks of the things, with the doorway in the middle that leads to a similar room that's clear in the center with the containers styacked haphazardly on the sides.
  • Somewhere in the 4 rooms that surround the + shaped intersection.
In office buildings, it's a little tougher as they can sometimes spawn in the little side-rooms that things don't normally spawn in. In sewers, check the raised platforms...

Those are the most often over-looked areas that I can think of... Have you oppened your map? If it's the last spawn, they should show up as red arrows, although that feature can be a little flaky sometimes... Worst case, you could try calling the contact and auto-completing it, abandoning and restarting the mish (hope for better spawn locations), or /petition for GM assistance. I'd only use that last one if nothing else works.

Yeah, it's an office building.

I've defeated every enemy I've seen and completed all the objectives except the final hostage, and I'm not getting the red arrows, or the white starburst.

Make sure you check evrything. Every room, behind every staircase, evrything. If you still can't find it then /petition a gm to help.

There are quite a few side rooms that aren't obvious on the office building maps. Especially in the 3 level rooms.

Big one is the stairs in the middle, stairs along the side, and half way up the side stairs is the side room with a side room - the first room also has a side room up the center stairs.

Unfortunately, the 'last objective' starburst does not apply for hostages. Dunno why, but it never has.
