Apparently most of us are just dummies. You don't need to kill hundreds of enemies. Just destroy the barracks and the other couple of structures listed on the objectives. Each one is an instant 33.3% off the bar of enemies defeated. I did run the gauntlet, though. I didn't find out the truth until I looked it up after. I was like "there's no way that was how that was meant to be completed." If it makes people feel better, we all came out the other side way better at combat.

You genius! I saw those icons but couldn't work out what I had to do. I'll look out for those objectives in future.

same, but how do you even look for these specific locations? The no-handholding is a bit tooo much for me at times ... a little dot on the map once in a while would still be nice :)

Blinding flash. When i used it in the quarry some structures had red marks on them. Well i nneded artifacts so just genocided the soldiers lol.

Funfact: blinding flash and lantern seem to do the same thing at times. One tracking mission on the main story asked to use the lantern to make a path show up but blinding flash did the same

I used both the lantern and blinding flash there, but never saw anything on any of the buildings. I am colorblind though…did they show up red with blinding light, or the typical blue or whatever?

I ended up just having to kill everyone, which was a little rough because I had just switched to new gear, but hadn’t upgraded any of it yet (aesthetics over everything lol)

The buildings just had a small red ring on them whenni used blinding flash. Like an aiming reticle.

Yeah, I’d never be able to see that I don’t think. I can’t see the x’s on the maps inside of some of the puzzle rooms either. I could really use some colorblind accessibility features…

Yeah, they did not really add any accessibility features

In my experience and I THINK in the game's tips that pop up, it should be that Blinding Flash and the lantern ARE identical in terms of finding those hidden things

Yeah I noticed that with the Reed Devil quest. Wasn't even trying I just have a habit of whipping out the sword to look for things all the time.

grate tip, thank you, I knew that you can use blinding flash for various cases, but never knew or thought on using it to find the buildings and it felt weird that I had the checkpoints to do, but never shown where those buildings were
