StarCraft - BW #2 - Fury of the Xel'Naga

[p90xsteroids]

was looking at artanis' pecs the entire time

[mikeshinoda101]

no wonder thats where psyduck was born.. Protoss is its race

[Turkisshh2]

Artanis must have been SO F-ING GRATEFUL to all the ancient Protoss saints that the Dear Mr. Executor DID spare that bit of extra Vespene Gas for Gravitic Thrusters...

[JawaThePwn]

Nuclear Launch Detected?

[dragonbaas]

Infest this!

[ThePantherVision]

Why do the Protoss look like they have down's syndrome in Starcraft and BW?

[senbonzakura1992]

Dear Zerg Swarm:

umad bro?

Sincerely, the Protoss(boss)

[dragonbaas]

nuking, xel'naga style

[BlizterSoup]

Xel'Naga = Forerunners

hehehe

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

ok I NOTICED SOMETHING

the zerg flying units in this video made ENGINE SOUNDS

LOLOLOLOL

[FrozenAnarchy]

@tHeWasTeDYouTh You're... right... Wtf?

[DannnyNg]

how do the protoss kiss?

[956crazyman19]

@DannnyNg they have no need of such primitive things they are a advance race

[FrozenAnarchy]

@956crazyman19 I guess then, since fucking is sooooooo primitive, they can just do without that too, huh...

[956crazyman19]

@FrozenAnarchy pretty much bro dont see to many woman protoss do you? only one so far and that was it

[FrozenAnarchy]

@956crazyman19 Well, we haven't seen Protoss common society, I'm sure not every last Protoss fights the war. They live in their bubble houses and play games and show up for work at 9 every morning, scrubbing Khalai shrines and building Dragoons and... doing whatever Protoss civilians do in their spare time, I guess.

[956crazyman19]

@FrozenAnarchy LOLOL who knows maybe but they are a war race really advanced maybe probes do everything? O.O

[FrozenAnarchy]

@956crazyman19 I wonder if a Protoss has ever asked a Probe for sexual favors.

[p90xsteroids]

artanis looks like an underwear model

[trelokamenos]

Hahaha I bet that in starcraft II we learn that terrans are made by Zel'Naga as well :P

[likes4Fun]

1:56 how cool is zeratul huh

[SlappaDeBassMon]

@likes4Fun Haha yeah, he's been round for so long, he's probably seen better.

[fufflyify]

bliz create warcraft3 after broodwar for only 4 years but the cinematic are much different.

[CuteZergling01]

protoss in starcraft 1 look like ducks ..

[deimos2k6]

Xel'Naga => Annunaki....??? Might look cool!

[Jormungrandrserpent]

flash of light and the zerg go *poof*

[Jormungrandrserpent]

this is the protoss/xel'naga equivalent of a terran nuke ;D

[pepinozinanasshole]

WIll you ever see the xel naga in sc 2 becuase i wonder what they look like?

[sirmicro]

@AntiTrollGoesSmack yes slay the foreign interlopers invading our lands.

[AlabamaSoldier]

Does Artanis show up in SC2?

[Nightg4]

@AlabamaSoldier

yes

[AlabamaSoldier]

@Nightg4 What does he do?

[Nightg4]

@AlabamaSoldier artanis is on one mission the last of the protoss to die with his bretheren. the xel naga kill off the protoss so artanis is the one who is in a mothership just watch the starcraft 2 mission "in utter darkness"

[AlabamaSoldier]

@Nightg4 That's it? He shows up to die? Sucks.

[gabriziel]

biggest pylon ever build

[MultiGamer4eva]

haha back then this was very good grapics back then when starcraft1 was popular.

[Arzaker]

Artanis:Im alive,......im alive IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVEEE (falls of platform) ow

[UltimateMarauder]

I'm SO glad the Protoss look better in SC2.

[ArchonChaos]

back the when i played, i was like WHOA!!!!!COOLL!!!!!!XD

[ArchonChaos]

@ArchonChaos *then

[thebrokengnome]

I like this cinematic, it has no dialogue and you still get what is going on

[StarSpawn06]

back then it made more story sense. the Protoss were desperate and needed this power to survive, after all that they had suffered.

in SC2 WoL, the way the story is expressed makes it seem like the Raiders got the "artifact" with little effort and sacrifice -,-

still, I look forward to Heart of the Swarm :)

[SelfMadeHero04]

and what exactly happened???

[warren73196]

Was that Pylo's grandfather? lol

[grantithan]

SNAPE KILLS ZERATUL!

[UXXELDUXXEL]

is this the artefact from sc2???????

[TheReturnOfJames]

@UXXELDUXXEL No. This is the Xel' Naga temple from Starcraft: Brood War. The two Protoss seen are Artanis and Zeratul with the Uraj and Khalis crystals, respectfully.

[Zeratul723]

Dear Zerg Swarm:

Fuck you. You lose.

Sincerely, the Protoss

[Xidphel]

@Zeratul723 Dear Protoss:

WTFHAX!

Sincerely, the Zerg Swarm

[alphaazulon2010]

@Zeratul723gag



[aggiefitz]

@Zeratul723

Dear Protoss

We still have Auir

Sincerely, The Zerg Swarm

[TheMexican02]

@aggiefitz power to the queen of blades!

[aggiefitz]

@TheMexican02

Soon all will serve the Swarm

[ricodelta1]

@Zeratul723

youre a fuking idiot

sincerely, stfu

[enjoythestruggle]

@ricodelta1 You can't type. Now go fuck a Zergling. Sincerely, someone smarter than you.

[ricodelta1]

@enjoythestruggle

eat a dick dipshit ;)

sincerely, stfu

[enjoythestruggle]

@ricodelta1 Kid

[njahmoon89]

It'll take more than few hundreds of thousands of mutalisks scourages guardians and devourers to bring down Zeratul & Co.

[pimpollito18]

@njahmoon89 even thought it only takes one muta to take down zeratul because y´know zeratul can´t attack air.

[njahmoon89]

@pimpollito18 cloooaked. I didn't see any overlords.

[DAcheifisawesome]

THIS VIDEO'S FAKE AND GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[balernoraccon]

@DAcheifisawesome Its in the campaign lol

[patool1000]

But, artanis in four years of sc story, he become an from a young warrior to a high category protoss commander or something like that o.O

[hezeek]

@Deyyhayederaned thx for clearing that up it really helped

[FrankDaTank1218]

how could protoss be badass fighters with those sicly looking skinny arms? look like I could break the mone-handed

[zetalore]

The studio which makes this are the best.

[234234234werrrrrrr]

@zetalore

i r a gud english guys?

[zetalore]

@234234234werrrrrrr you need to do way instain mother

[llamazunited]

for all who dont know this is a cinematic from brood war for the last mission which is defending the temple which is on shakuras after aiur was taken they use it and all of shakuras is now dust play the game again dumbass noobs ppl arent smart enough to make this by themselves without epic animation things that blizzrad etc have

[MrRestrainingOrder]

Ok. Several questions. 1. was that Artanis and Zeratul? cause their legs bent the wrong way, and they had no mucle or fat ANYWHERE!!!!! 2. That didn't look like alot of Zerg to me. and 3.whats up with Artanis's hair? If u can answer my Q's, that'd be awesome.

[Squier256]

See how lots of zerg turn into pure vespene gas

[Squier256]

you can find Artanis in SC2 in one of the toss missions.

[hezeek]

is this the same technology in the xel naga artifact that jim raynor used on char to kill all zerg and convert kerrigan bak to normal?

[bcfuzzer]

1:59 is that a mothership?

[Purkinje90]

@bcfuzzer Hmm no. That's part of the Temple.

It kinda looks like it could be a Mothership, though.

[Tapsumbong95]

hahahahha owned

[slayer2450]

wat did happen to artanis anyway, he isn't in sc2

[gublaman]

@slayer2450 He is. Zeratul left him to rule over the remianing protoss on shakuras. We get to use him in zeratul's vision

[Deadcombat]

@slayer2450 yes he is ROFL.

[FangRiide]

Coincidence:

Fact: Xel' Naga is a Race in StarCraft.

Fact: Xel' Naga in KOREAN means Get Out.

Fact: StarCraft is Most Popular in Korea.

Essential Question: Coincidence?

[Medhiv83]

@FangRiide

i like your theory ... however there are a few holes: the xel'naga have been the uber-race ever since starcraft 1! their quest to create the ultimate race is even in the games manual of the protoss and zerg history ... so they had the name and history way before south-korea became the starcraft nation!!! and how on earth could they have conceived of that?!??

[4iedemon]

@Medhiv83 Well, before Starcraft, the Koreans had already ruled the Battle.Net in Diablo games...  Ask the US players who were being harrassed by Koreans using PK hacks back then...

[Medhiv83]

@4iedemon

that explains a few things ^_^ didn't know that ... but then again never was a fan of the diablo-series :-P

[GreenLanternSalem]

@4iedemon

Dude , I used to play... after a little bit... I just stopped playing with people i didn't know on random servers and stuck to like 3 people.

[IsArtanisAzn]

@FangRiide XEL'NAGA!!

loljk

[FangRiide]

@IsArtanisAzn lol

[iseeallforme]

@FangRiide Naga (with some change in accent) means "get out".

Although that was one heck of a theory.

[addjangs]

@FangRiide Hi, I'm korean and I can explain why. In korean langauge, 'Naga(나가)' means 'Get out'. I don't know about Xel part, but the term 'Naga' is kinda famous for North American mates played in Asian server before the korean chat was supported in Starcraft. That's probably why FangRide wrote like this.

[Micro94Ice]

@addjangs Is it true that StarCraft is the national sport in korea ?

[pakong82]

@FangRiide

Xel' Naga is NOT korean word's....where in the hell did you get that stupid ideas....

[FangRiide]

@pakong82 If you know korean you would know the words I'm talking about. Nice Troll.

[Ka1igon]

@FangRiide

Anyone else try typing Xel'Naga into Google translate? Doesn't seem to mean anything in Korean.

[FangRiide]

@Ka1igon lol, it's the pronunciation, its not literal. It SOUNDS like it. Every single language in the world was not from latin.

[Ka1igon]

@FangRiide Roger, good to know :)

[sangyuni96]

no, xel naga doesn't mean to get out in korea

[BungeeFiesta]

someone explain to me what the ''Xel'naga'' is sorry i dont really know

[swajius]

@BungeeFiesta according to lore, they are the species that came before all and created both the Zerg and the Protoss.

[MathiasMichell]

@BungeeFiesta they are the gods of the protoss.

[randomvideoproducer]

@BungeeFiesta the xel naga were aeons old beings that tried to recreate the protoss in their imaged, and were worshiped as gods. they failed, so they then supervised the zerg. the xel nagas plan was to merge the protoss and the zerg and create the perfect species, the "eternal swarm", a new incarnation of the xel naga.

[dman19851996]

How the hell did artanis turn from a naked dude in loincloth to a guy with a ridiculously large hat, get an eye colour change and a freaking mothership?

[aquanaut145]

@dman19851996 The Protoss had to do Something during all that time! Why do you think they pimped out their dragoons into weaker stalkers and added giant legs to their reavers?

Not to mention all the bad influence they're getting from the Dark Templars now that the Conclave is gone.

[drnhan94]

The beam came down and stuck the giant crystal and the Zerg was like : OH SHIT, OH SHIT, OH SHIIIIIIIIIT!

[AmyLeeEvanescencez]

i dont get it, Protoss and the Zerg have the same ancestors but still they hate each other and they dont look bit alike oO CONFUSED!!!

[WingsOfVengence]

@AmyLeeEvanescencez they are not related. They are both a race created by the Xelnaga, but the protoss banised the xel naga, and the zerg tried to assimulate the xel naga into the hive. Just like the zerg do with everything.

[personman2gig]

@AmyLeeEvanescencez fraternal twins, sibling rivalry.

[flyingwankstas]

Artanis looked like a little wuss back then, and now he commands a Mothership lol.. he updraged!

[Assault912]

if that is the power of xel'naga then why the hell did the xel'naga allow their homeland got overran by zerg and the colony on aiur got took over by protoss. They lack of number or something?

[slipspacer88]

how exactly does the queen of blades get from planet to planet

[Xx1ninja1xX]

@slipspacer88 skillz

[slipspacer88]

@Xx1ninja1xX ......this is me not being amused

[Xx1ninja1xX]

@slipspacer88 im sorry .. =[ but that wasnt me joking... besides cant mutalisk do interplanetary travel also?

[mas111]

@slipspacer88 many zerg creatures can travel through space apparently. overlords, mutas etc.

[slipspacer88]

@mas111 i know that but i am talking about THE QUEEN OF BLADES

[Pachumene]

@slipspacer88 by using intergalactic warping overlords! lol

[Slayhour]

Pft, that's nothing... Wait to see my mom after she going to see my dirty room.

[EMoork]

my life for Aiur.

[EMoork]

my life for Aiur

[TheRedeemer09]

maybe we found actually aliens and they were really dumb so we ignored it

[DJTerrorest]

VERY FUCKING BIG SPOILER DO NOT READ IT AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU WISH TO BEAR THE FUCKING PAIN, LOOK AWAY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED

Tassadar is alive

Zeratul dies

Artanis dies

nual dies

celenies dies

mohander dies

[zymeth0628]

@DJTerrorest only in a certain future if kerrigan dies :P

[DJTerrorest]

@zymeth0628 EVEN WORSE, i have a WORSER SPOILER.

Kerrigan becomes good again (legit this time)

[xmas1915]

@DJTerrorest Zeratul doesn't die

[DJTerrorest]

@xmas1915 Yes he does. I see you haven't played every SC2 Mission

[matty0mck]

@DJTerrorest SPOILERS AHEAD SC2 related. No actually he DOESN'T. that mission, if you had listened to jim raynor, was a prophecy or a vision if you will which jim "saw" through the crystal which zeratul had given him. This was a future in which kerrigan dies and DOES NOT live, this future of course does not occur due to the games ending.

[DJTerrorest]

@matty0mck ooh my bad, i thought he gave the crystal so raynor can see though his eyes like live t.v.

[duskcrawler]

@DJTerrorest Actually, the Ihan Crystal shows his memories of what he did investigating the incident with Duran, the Hybrids, and the Xel'Naga. The vision is of th future that can happen if Kerrigan dies. Luckily, Jim has Kerrigan now so that doesn't seem likely to happen.

[DJTerrorest]

@duskcrawler oooh. thanks mate.

[duskcrawler]

@DJTerrorest All for a StarCraft fan. If you've played the bonus mission Dark Origin, we could talk about who or what the Hybrids/Xel'Naga are.

[DJTerrorest]

@duskcrawler Is that the one where u first meet a hybrid reaver?

[duskcrawler]

@DJTerrorest Yeah but there's also that bonus mission where a Hybrid Reaver is accidentally unleashed. There's also Maar the Hybrid Destroyer that battled and was killed by Zeratul and the Preservers before Dark Origin.

[DJTerrorest]

@duskcrawler yeah i know i played every mission. lolz. Say whats your favourite race?

[duskcrawler]

@DJTerrorest To be honest, I prefer the Terrans and the Protoss. Not much a fan of the Zerg, though. As far as characters go, I'd say Raynor, Stukov, Kerrigan (before infestation), Zeratul, Fenix, and Tassadar are my favorites.

[DJTerrorest]

@duskcrawler Same with me, mostly protoss. I dunno why but i think the Zerg race is weak in multiplayer. My favourite characters are also raynor kerrigan (Before) Zeratul and tassadar, but also arctanis and scelenis. Ever wonder how the protoss look alot like egyptians?

[duskcrawler]

@DJTerrorest I like alot of the Protoss except for Ulrezaj. He was an asshole. Alot of the Terras are assholes, but some are good, though like Raynor and Stukov. Its sad Stukov had to die. He was cool. Same wth Tassadar and Fenix. They were good guys too. As for why the Protoss are Egyptian, its because they were inspired by ancient cultues and traditons. That's why. Plus the inspiration for them came from Predator.

[DJTerrorest]

@duskcrawler i haven't played Sc1 or BW in 7 years so can u like refresh who is stutkov and fenix? and ulrezaj

[duskcrawler]

@DJTerrorest Stukov was the UED vice admiral. He was killed by Duran in the Psi Disrupter. He was brought back in the N64 release of StarCraft by a Cerebrate named Kaloth. Fenix was a Zealot and Aldaris's right hand man but sided with Tassadar when Aldaris's religious views got in the way of his thinking. Ulrezaj is not found in SC, but is in a mission made by Blizzard. Basically he is a Dark Templar terrorist that became a 4 and later 7 way Dark Archon. He serves a far greater power.

[DJTerrorest]

@duskcrawler interesting. Who's Aldaris?

[duskcrawler]

@DJTerrorest Aldaris was a Protoss Judicator or elder that served as an Advisor to the Executor (or Protoss player). He was very religious and antagonized Tassadar for disobeying religious traditions. He also antagonized him for siding with the Khalai's natural enemy, the Dark Templar. These actions led Fenix to side with Tassadar, though Aldaris eventually relented and helped Tassadar. He later sided with Zeratul to ensure the Protoss's survival.

[DJTerrorest]

@duskcrawler Intersting.

[duskcrawler]

@DJTerrorest I never liked Aldaris he treated Tassadar and Zeratul like they were just Templars and that he was this all great Judicator. He treated Artanis (the Protoss player) and Fenix this way as well, though he does apologize at the end of SC. He dies in BW by Kerrigan's hands when he tried to reveal the Dark Templar's Matriarch, Razagal's reasons for siding with Kerrigan. Also the mission is not Dark Origin, its actually In Utter Darkness. Sorry. Dark Origin is the one with Duran in SC.

[DJTerrorest]

@duskcrawler its k. And yeah very interesting. Out of all who is ur dead on Terran character, Protoss character, and zerg character. then who's the favourite character of them all

[duskcrawler]

@DJTerrorest For Terran, its Raynor, for Protoss, Zeratul, and for Zerg, I don't really have one since they aren't many I can think of. For all time favorite, I have a hard time picking, they are all pretty badass.

[zymeth0628]

@duskcrawler the conclave and judicator caste fail

[duskcrawler]

@zymeth0628 The Conclave yes and most of the Judicators like Aldaris do, but the Judicator Arbiter pilots are badasses.

[gxycybro]

@duskcrawler Artanis isn't the player.

[duskcrawler]

@gxycybro Yeah he is. Its even been confirmed by Chris Metzen, himself. I hate to be a dick, but get the facts straights, because the Executor in Episode III is Artanis. In Episode IV it was just an Executor we know nothing about.

[gxycybro]

@duskcrawler the dark templar are the ones who didn't want to use khala's psi link.

they are still protoss, but outlawed.

[duskcrawler]

@gxycybro Yeah, but even outlaws can be good people. Just ask Raynor who wants to save lives from enemies like the Dominion or the Zerg or the Tal'darim. Zeratul has that same goal, just as Fenix, Artanis, and Tassadar did. You could argue that even Raszagal did, but thats not clear if she was an altruistic individual or not.

[baciu14]

@xmas1915 he s like batman

[IsArtanisAzn]

hmmm xel'naga = big headed nose-less aliens we think exist today

and i think i know what the hybrids like

i remember something i read say "the zerg is the form the protoss is the essence" and so... in independence day when the aliens attack, they be zerg, but the zerg is all organic n stuff but the protoss is with them so the overmind is nothing now..

and at the end of the credits were it says "thanks to" why it say george lucas

[operations1000]

Always the Zerg dieing by some OP'd Xel Naga creation..bullshit! I cannot wait till the Heart of the Swarm trilogy so they can stomp on the evil fallen Xel Naga dark voice hybrid creating Mofo!

[DkLegacy24]

Zeratul and Atranis look diff from starcraft II XD

[iammishahearmeroar]

Am I the only one who actually preferred the old look of the Protoss? I think they look a lot more alien than the pixar things in the second one.

[aquanaut145]

@iammishahearmeroar I know what you mean. SC2 Protoss are full of bling bling and pimped out crap.

[iammishahearmeroar]

@aquanaut145 Yeah, in the original they looked a lot more like alien species, rather than what people would imagine AS alien species.

[EugeniaMiller0510]

the scenaries are not too good!! I had waited more!? for taht game!! yeah I received keys from

FreeStarcraftRetailKeys(.)tk

Try it

[GertrudeRodriguez8]

Lol when the arms came out of the? sides I was like yeah Me got key at

NowStarcraft2Game[dot]tk

Go for it

[mewantcool]

wow, Zeretul and Artanis look so different from SC1 to SC2,

[thabiznes]

@mewantcool thats because zeratul started taking steriods

[iCommentatez]

@mewantcool I dunno about Zeratul, but Artanis definitely got into rap or something.

[JamieBabineaux5368]

protoss r the best!? 

[PilarFigueroa1509]

Looks? like IronMan :)

[RubyMessinger5200]

alawys have? been a zerg lover lol

[CandyYoung7093]

JUST? LIKE THE WOW FORUMS 2K POSTS GOGO

[NathanielMatayoshi]

awesome sc2 guides, tutorials and strategies, watch this video - youtube.com/watch?v=SNMAYSP8ze­0

[mewimi]

Why do Xel Naga artifacts kill off the zerg? I think we are missing a part of the puzzle even after starcraft 2 WoL XD

[iammishahearmeroar]

@mewimi It was basically a temple built to cleanse a certain area, if it got overrun. The Xel'Naga and the Zerg have a "history".

[tinman765]

he Overmind was not blind to its plight. It foresaw the apocalyptic outcome if the Dark Voice, whom it called "the Fallen One", was victorious. The creation of the Queen of Blades was the Overmind's attempt to free the zerg and prevent that future. The Dark Voice recognized the threat that Kerrigan posed.

[superpyromaniac]

zerg hydralisk: "all you base are belong to us. you have no chance of survive. make your time."

BOOM!!!!!!!!

[noiselessharbin]

the best ever is starcraft1? forever

[quixoticidea29]

sc 2 looks worse than sc original but i liked the way they made? it 3d
