This is why Starcraft2 campaign sucks. This writing is so brilliant. However Zeratul in SC2 is like "I BRING TIDINGS OF DOOOOOOMMMMM"... bring back the guys who wrote this :(
The servant of a greater power that Duran is, the greater power is the Dark voice, or the fallen one, duran is not infested, nor is he human/terran. hes a hybrid servant...
To everyone who maybe doesn't know: This IS a canon. Confirmed in 2007. Though I am too wondering why Zeratul don't mention a fellow named Samir Duran in Starcraft 2. Or why he didn't tell to Raynor or in his memories that he found a hybrid in a dark moon and that a human was engineering with it.
OMFG, Samir Duran reveal himself. He speaks of Zeratul and Kerrigan as young ones? Heck! The fight against him must be one of those bad-asses finale either in Zerg chapter or Protoss chapter. Or perhaps he will just die in one mission, but still must posses a lot of power.
He serves the Dark Voice. The Zerg-Protoss Hybrid is apart of the greater plan of the Fallen One to destroy all who oppose him and ultimately, reshape all of creation in his image. A central tenant of this plan is for Kerrigan to die.
@aztecharomor Play the campaign instead... You must save him from an attack from kerrigan and you will recieve medivacs when you're done with the mission
@ericnrivers well Tosh is our bruda, and Duran is...well Duran. You can never understand scheming little bastards serving higher powers that's what I say
@zalgrad85 bruda? What's a bruda? But i guess it could be anyone. My guess is that it would just probably be Tosh. But what doctor are you talking about?
Duran serves the Fallen One mentioned by Zeratul in Wings of Liberty. . . the Overmind saw this when it tried to destroy the Xel' Naga, which are the bad guys.... at least when speaking about the Fallen One.
At the end the Overmind was the good guy after all ! XDD it created Kerrigan to give the Zerg free will.
Fuck blizzard knows how to write some good stories!
I bet that Duran is a fallen Xel'naga if not an actual Xel'Naga... If he is fallen one his plan will be jeopardized by the Xel'Naga themselves or some sort of mighty artifice which Raynor will have to explore/find/activate in order to stop him. If he is true Xel'Naga then... well... the terrans better go back to the Old Earth and never come back. But this is impossible since UED and DuGalle were swept without giving up the coordinates and the exact location of the planet.
Kind of like the hybrid thing. since the protos became over intelligent their physical form degraded making them physical weak. while the zerg lack in brain but can withstand a grater amount of dmg. thus creating a race with large intellectual capabilities as well as greater physical strength.
hm... i wonder if blizzard will ever add a 4rth race in SC which is the hybrids.
and i wonder when or if Duran will make an appearance in SC2.
@MrFox1231 - I don't think the Protoss are physically weak. They hold the Purity of Form, after all.
And I wouldn't be surprised that Duran is actually the Dark Voice that appears in Sc2. Either him, or that black sludge void thing from one of those Sc2 prequel stories.
@Shadowycrafter you mean the Black Sludge void thing that was literally called "the Voice in the Darkness" among 5 or so other titles? yeah Its pretty obvious that he's the Dark Voice.
Duran already appeared in SC 2 he was Dr.Narud (not only is Narud Duran spelled backwards but they also have the same facial hair style and accents that don't quite fit in with the rest of the cast and Kerrigan actually says she "sees through your "Dr.Narud's" Pathetic Charade!" also same eye color.
@MrFox1231 I actually think is kinda, the other way.
Zergs themselves are like animals but all themselves obey one single great mind, first the Overmind and now Kerrigan. For that to happen they must be a very organized colony, I mean they are very primal and actually would be just like a simple pest if they were uncontrolled (like when the cerebrates died), but as pawns... well you see, dominant faction currently. Zerg strong?, that I knew their strenght relied more in their numbers.
@RonnsMoss The fact that he sees Maar and says "A HYBRID!?" suggests that he has seen a hybrid and knows it is one. He didn't know that the hybrid in this mission was a hybrid until the adjutant stated it as such.
@breakinthebend the fallen one is creating the hibrid to destroy the universe, so duran must be a pawn of the fallen one. im the only one thinking that starcraft 2 will end with the alliance of the protoss,terran,zerg against the fallen one like in warcraft 3 with that demon and the burning legion.
@Psquit well not all the races were allied in that one, the Undead kept being the antagonists till the end, even when they partnered with humans at frozen throne they betrayed the humans (but that bastard knight dont remember his name got it coming lol). And isnt that wat the zerg wanted? to assymilate the protoss and become perfect?, unless that for some reason they stop wanting to consume (how? thats their nature... well ours too) I find unlikeable an alliance of all races D:
@buntado6 the zerg are pawns like the protos, and the zerg are slaves they dont have free will but the overmind wanted to give freedom!!!! to his children soo he created kerrigan and etc.
"Damn! The Terrans are having more trouble utilizing pylons than I thought." - With this thing, Zeratul just owned the Terrans, I laughed really really hard. Just LOL!
@Sinncrow so its one perticular hybrid? if so, had Duran not said " For I have seeded the hydrbid on many worlds" so im guessing theres more than one kind of hybrid spieces....?
The Xel'Naga are all dead, but Duran...hes like the emperor palpatine of star craft, he is making hybrid and going to use the artifacts to infuse life to bring back the core of the Xel'naga.
I think because that creature Hybrid there will be a new rase in Starcraft 2 probably called Xel Naga....hmm,that will be interesting-High Templar(as i saw) and Zergling in one creature!
@MultiDaniel1515 The hybrid will appear in SC2, and what it represents will play a huge rule in the overall story. Also, this level is what made Zeratul go on his quest for answers, where he finds out about the future and how Kerregian is the only one to save them.
@bwones Yeah, that's why he was dumb enough to help Kerrigan kill the 2nd Overmind, just to get his precious Matriarch back even though the Matriarch Raszagal was under Kerrigan's mind control. Why Raynor and Fenix helped Kerrigan and Arcturus Mengsk defeat the United Earth Directorate is beyond me. They should have known about how Kerrigan had killed Aldaris and betrayed the Protoss she "allied" with early in the Brood War. Artanis and Zeratul should have warned Raynor and Fenix about Kerrigan.
@mcgrewrich That is the biggest plot hole for me. I can't understand why Zeratul could go along with the Kerrigan's offer to defeat UED after he witnessed how she killed Aldaris and help them get the crystals just so she can accomplish her OWN goals. Man, Zeratul deserved what he got for being that stupid. :P
It all kinda makes sense, Duran showing up in the UED campaign out of nowhere, him constantly disappearing in two campaigns. But I never thought that he was a Xel'Naga. Plus, is a Xel'Naga just a mixture of protoss and Zerg, cause if they are, THAT SUCKS MONKEY BALLS!!!!
no, the Xel'Naga created the zerg and protoss races so that they could mix the dna of: pure eccense (protoss) and pure form (zerg) to make some awesome perfect being.
@TheNemesis321 "is a Xel'Naga just a mixture of protoss and Zerg, cause if they are, THAT SUCKS MONKEY BALLS!!!!"
Highly doubtful. The Xel'Naga were the ones that created the zerg and protoss in the first place. (I suppose they could have separated parts of their genome into the 2 daughter species, but that seems unlikely).
In order to play the bonus level 'Dark Origin', finish the Zerg Brood wars level 'The Reckoning' (level 8) within 25 minutes. This can easily be accomplished by using the invincibility cheat 'power overwhelming' or 'show me the money'
I did it by only 45 seconds or so destroying the photon cannons that protected Raszagal with Guardians and then rushing with hydralisk coming from 6 harchery, however, getting enough resources to do that it's the main problem.
goddam i used to play this when i was a kid and my friend who was a starcraft freak told me about the hybrids and duran and shit dont think he ever got to this level tho
I am guessing that the Hybrids are not actual Xel'Naga but creations of the Xel'Naga to serve as some sort of army, or else scouts. I believe a handful of Xel'Naga escaped the Overmind's attack ages ago, and they've had a LONG time to prepare for their comeback.
Also, Duran said that the Hybrid is the 'culmination of a cycle.' In the preview for SC2 when Zeratul meets Raynor, he says 'the cycle nears its end' when talking about the artifacts. Coincidence?
spoiler form the last dark tempalar book of the series. the hybrids are actully supose to be new xel'naga but the zerg killed there master's before they evolved so they can become xel'naga so thats why they are hybrids enstead
i think so, Xel-Naga might have the ability to 'infest'(such as the zerg) a body and keep it in tact at that age. When kerrigan 'infested' the 'terran' duran, it obviously is a weaker form than the Xel-Naga becuz duran was able to keep his true purpose in his mind. He might've let himself be infested so he could obtain easy zergling from the swarm to use for his many hybrids. and he might mind control some protoss in the same way zerg infest or DA mind control. Xel-Naga did create protoss n zerg
Zeratul hade the unique chance of preserving the hybrid and study it finding a weak point before the creature's imminent awake,this would be a great advantage for the protoss in the future challenge with the hybrid race.
Ahm, so this secret mission can be unlocked at the Expansion of Starcraft 1 or on the Original... Cuz I accomplished the original but there is not such missing as 'The Reckoning' (level 8)...
Another question: Why I don't hear any sound on my transmissions??? Plz some one reply
there is some version that can be played without cd.. and these version doesn't have cinematic scenes and transmission voices.. and the worst.. it doesn't has an access to this dark origin secret mission... even we qualified for
@NEMESIS1999 the creature is still in the experimental stage. when duran can find out a way to make it active without all that energy, oh boy then gg.
I've seen this back in the days. There's a mission to destroy the enemies and you must do it in less than 25 minutes I guess. Doing it will unlock this mission. I needed to use cheats to succed in that time frame. If it doesn't work now, then try running it in a earlier version of the game.
it happened to me too. Apparently, there is another secret mission like this in the Nintendo 64 version of SC also. look up on google "starcraft: resurrection IV". I believe that is the name of the mission
what r u supposed 2 do 2 get to this mission? i cleared that zerg mission on less that 25 minutes without using the "no cow level" cheat and nothin happened..
I just got a dark idea: What if Duran is the original Overmind reincarnated? Duran was infested before its death and became the Overmind's vessel after. He is simply continuing the Overmind's grand design, merging the Protoss and Zerg together.
hes not infested. he pretends 2 b so that kerrigan doesnt suspect. he said he was workin 4 a power greater than the zerg and the original overmind overthrew the xel-naga so he cant b what u say. no offense
The Overmind wanted to consume the races that would strengthen the swarm and destroy those that would not. The Protoss were simply the one race the Overmind wanted to consume more than anything since both were created by the Xel'Naga, with unique "purities"
the culmination is probably just the end of one part of the grand experiment; a changed universe indeed, but not destroyed; the universe is the grand experiment and Duran is part of the Xel'Naga; if you recall, the Xel'Naga were scientists ambushed by the zerg, but apparently they refused to stay dead
needs the original music

It all kinda makes sense, Duran showing up in the UED campaign out of nowhere, him constantly disappearing in two campaigns. But I never thought that he was a Xel'Naga. Plus, is a Xel'Naga just a mixture of protoss and Zerg, cause if they are, THAT SUCKS MONKEY BALLS!!!!

The Xel'Naga created the Zerg so they cant be a mix of the Protoss//Zerg.

@DarkTemplar40k sorry for destroy your comment but....
the xel'naga created the protoss too
tijera1234 1 year ago
no, the Xel'Naga created the zerg and protoss races so that they could mix the dna of: pure eccense (protoss) and pure form (zerg) to make some awesome perfect being.

@TheNemesis321 "is a Xel'Naga just a mixture of protoss and Zerg, cause if they are, THAT SUCKS MONKEY BALLS!!!!"
Highly doubtful. The Xel'Naga were the ones that created the zerg and protoss in the first place. (I suppose they could have separated parts of their genome into the 2 daughter species, but that seems unlikely).

In order to play the bonus level 'Dark Origin', finish the Zerg Brood wars level 'The Reckoning' (level 8) within 25 minutes. This can easily be accomplished by using the invincibility cheat 'power overwhelming' or 'show me the money'

It's hard as hell to do it without cheats.
I did it by only 45 seconds or so destroying the photon cannons that protected Raszagal with Guardians and then rushing with hydralisk coming from 6 harchery, however, getting enough resources to do that it's the main problem.

Thank you so much, Abiscula, for posting this vid. And you are correct, Warlord- Duran is more than likely a Xel-Naga.

id be surprised if Duran did not appear in SC2.
thewalrus45 2 years ago 2
I am guessing that the Hybrids are not actual Xel'Naga but creations of the Xel'Naga to serve as some sort of army, or else scouts. I believe a handful of Xel'Naga escaped the Overmind's attack ages ago, and they've had a LONG time to prepare for their comeback.
Also, Duran said that the Hybrid is the 'culmination of a cycle.' In the preview for SC2 when Zeratul meets Raynor, he says 'the cycle nears its end' when talking about the artifacts. Coincidence?

It is said that the hybrid is the xel-naga itself. Not a minion of the xel naga

spoiler form the last dark tempalar book of the series. the hybrids are actully supose to be new xel'naga but the zerg killed there master's before they evolved so they can become xel'naga so thats why they are hybrids enstead
starwars000000000001 2 years ago
So Duran... is a Xel-Naga????!!!!!!!
tifforo1 2 years ago 6
i think so, Xel-Naga might have the ability to 'infest'(such as the zerg) a body and keep it in tact at that age. When kerrigan 'infested' the 'terran' duran, it obviously is a weaker form than the Xel-Naga becuz duran was able to keep his true purpose in his mind. He might've let himself be infested so he could obtain easy zergling from the swarm to use for his many hybrids. and he might mind control some protoss in the same way zerg infest or DA mind control. Xel-Naga did create protoss n zerg
Blueman180000 2 years ago 3
Zeratul hade the unique chance of preserving the hybrid and study it finding a weak point before the creature's imminent awake,this would be a great advantage for the protoss in the future challenge with the hybrid race.

Did you notice that there was a huge number of pylons surrounding the last cell which means the creature needs that energy in order to exist.
NEMESIS1999 2 years ago 18
good eye dude i never would have noticed it
amazeblaze 2 years ago 18
@NEMESIS1999 Ya, i no. That Hybrid must need huge amounts of energy to even live, let alone the amount of energy it must take to be controlled

@NEMESIS1999 Or maybe he just wants to construct additional pylons.

@NEMESIS1999 the creature is still in the experimental stage. when duran can find out a way to make it active without all that energy, oh boy then gg.

Go to the starcraft wiki and type hybrid you will finally see the look of the creature that was in the cell we waited for this 12 years.

SenhordosCarinhos 2 years ago
I've seen this back in the days. There's a mission to destroy the enemies and you must do it in less than 25 minutes I guess. Doing it will unlock this mission. I needed to use cheats to succed in that time frame. If it doesn't work now, then try running it in a earlier version of the game.
SenhordosCarinhos 2 years ago 3
hey ive unlock it but i cant choose it from the mission menu as it dosent appear is that normal?
Elegostmanecorn 2 years ago
it happened to me too. Apparently, there is another secret mission like this in the Nintendo 64 version of SC also. look up on google "starcraft: resurrection IV". I believe that is the name of the mission

I just got a dark idea: What if Duran is the original Overmind reincarnated? Duran was infested before its death and became the Overmind's vessel after. He is simply continuing the Overmind's grand design, merging the Protoss and Zerg together.
Keen166 2 years ago
hes not infested. he pretends 2 b so that kerrigan doesnt suspect. he said he was workin 4 a power greater than the zerg and the original overmind overthrew the xel-naga so he cant b what u say. no offense
starmanEXE7 2 years ago
When did the Overmind want to do that? I thought he was all about killing everything.
tlonmaster 2 years ago
The Overmind wanted to consume the races that would strengthen the swarm and destroy those that would not. The Protoss were simply the one race the Overmind wanted to consume more than anything since both were created by the Xel'Naga, with unique "purities"

the culmination is probably just the end of one part of the grand experiment; a changed universe indeed, but not destroyed; the universe is the grand experiment and Duran is part of the Xel'Naga; if you recall, the Xel'Naga were scientists ambushed by the zerg, but apparently they refused to stay dead
