How to get a dead Uruk to come back

middle-earth-shadow-of-mordor

A previously long-since killed uruk's body is lying in the "Sauron's Army" menu, and has been there for a while. Never moving or going away. I know that this means (since his head isn't on a pike) that he should be coming back, but he's not. He hasn't popped in while I'm running around, doing a mission, or even when I've been hit to near death on my knee (sometimes they appear when you're about to die).

So, anybody have a clue?

(Funnily enough, this Uruk has the title of Shaman, although this is now my second case of this happening.)

The system of Shadow of Mordor isn't very clear on that but basically the short answer is:

You can't force an Uruk to return

If his head is on a pike, the Uruk is dead and won't return.

If the Uruk is just laying on the ground there's a chance he'll come back. It isn't 100% sure he will come back and sometimes the system takes a while to renew fallen Uruks with promoted ones or new ones.

You have to wait and see if he comes back. If he does let us know in the comments.
