Advice finding a tricky steady state

My model has 68 very non-linear and complicated equations. And also I need to calibrate some parameters such that some ratios and ss values are fixed. I’ve been trying to solve it analytically but it has been very cumbersome, I’ve tried debugging but I seem not going anywhere concrete. Then I’m considering using numeric solver and I don’t really have a very good initial guess, and also I’m not sure which could be more suited, as Dynare offer various options as stated in the manual, or MATLAB’s o…
