  • i think i know why this guy never got psi-stormed. the protoss initially had 2 HT. so my theory is that because this guy trapped and killed the archon at 3:30, the computer merged the 2 HTs in order to replace it. lol.

  • Briliant it took me 10 minutes

  • Did it proper-like with like 10 minutes on the timer. Took me a couple of failed rushes, but awesome strategy. I'm kicking myself for not realising Blizzard probably did this intentionally.

  • Awesome. I only just finished this mission with a little over five minutes on the timer - took me a lot of tries, and eventually I kind of gave up and set game speed to slowest, going for a frontal attack with a single Defiler as support. (I can't stand microing in StarCraft).

    I considered dropping a Drone to the west of the base but assumed it would be discovered, and would take too long to set up besides. I forgot about the Nydus Canals...

    Gonna do it proper-like later.

  • Zeratul disliked this

  • this mission and "to slay the beast" was by far the most difficult mission in all of Starcraft missions, period. The 'tips' in their pamphlet is utter bullshit, since you can't even get to the high amount of 48 hydras and 5 Ultras and 5 guardians :/ and even when I managed to scrap up 24 hydras, 6 Ultras, and 5 guardians, the huge wall of psi-storms, reavers, and archons killed the Ultras easily. My tip? go Guardians, mutas, and Devourers. only true threat is HT, snipe them out, and you win.

  • WTF? When I do this mission I run into a wall, LITERALLY a wall of psionic storms from like 6 high templar!

  • @HumpDeBump100 Me too... cannot finnish this in 30 :(

  • @Nasirx122 I found an easier solution... go to the bottom the map and attack from the south with a hefty hydra swarm and queen/broodling escort.

  • @HumpDeBump100 Yes I Spawned those Templars! ;)

  • Comment removed

  • How in fucking hell did he order the guardians to attack one cannon then the next then the next in the beginning?

  • @JMCatron Hold shift and right click, and the orders will go into a queue, so they will do one thing, then another, then another, without having to tell them to each time separately.

  • drone attack, lol!!! i will try that, i tried too many time to unlock the bonus level without cheating, but failed. now i will try this!!

  • You sir/madam, are a fricking genius! I've beaten everything in this game except for completing Recokening and with more then five minutes in the clock. Thank you for this.

  • @ExcalibursinX in less than 25

  • well done. Nice video. I liked it when you used the drones to attrack :D

  • I SWEAR my broodwar had better graphics than this. I don't remember it being so shitty lol!

  • bonus level activated? for what? for that you completed the mission so quickly?

  • @PQ5 YEH. If you do it in under 10 minutes.

  • Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • Yes detantalus you should get this game and there is a lot of people playing this on battlenet(online) and this game is even on the world cyber games(broodwars expansion only) so yes I recommend you to buy this game, but I would play it on a desktop not on a netbook(too small) I hope to see you on battlenet :)

  • I just got a netbook and was thinking of getting this for it. Do you all think its worth it? are their still a lot of people that play it online?

  • Ur awesome! I had 12 seconds left when I had finished that level the first time I played it. That's right... I still remember the exact time from like a month ago ^^.

  • Holy Mother of Afro, that guy is good!

  • wait 21:06 + 6:30 = 27:36

  • @JPMHUDProductions His game speed was set to fastest.

  • @FreakingAnnoyed What...?

  • @FreakingAnnoyed It's perfectly doable... I did an imitation run of this, got somewhere around 10 minutes. I'm nowhere as good, though.

  • @FreakingAnnoyed Dude, he just put the game to the slowest speed, filmed the mission and raised the speed with windows movie maker... xD

  • @legendariesthumour Does windows movie maker let you adjust the pitch of the audio? Because if not, then the audio would sound off (it would be like a whole step higher, which is noticeably different) if he sped it up. Whether or whether not is possible with that program, the speed at which he is playing is very attainable. Just watch a fpvod (first person vod) of a pro Korean BW player and you will see that in fact, this guy plays slowly :P.

  • @FreakingAnnoyed a zerg player with hatcheries and a nydus set up at the back entrance of his opponents base could trash them in a heart beat.

  • This mission was annoying as hell but you can win easy with the Wall of Hydra strategy plus queens and some air.

  • that is fucking crazy!?! 

  • wait, wtf? how'd he do it in 6:30, but the timer isn't equivalent?

  • @Sakkboi I think that's because the game is played on fastest speed, so the ingame timer runs faster than one second per second, but the end timer shows how long the mission took in real time.

  • @soulhunger1 Oh ok, thanks for explaining.

  • yeh, high templars hit me too.. but it seems like he moves so fast that the reavers dont have enough scarabs and the high templars dont have enough energy to storm him effectively.

  • it seems like his zerg are hatching alot faster than mine -_-

  • I just realize that the hatcheries looks like pocket pussies!

  • God i cant even finish this mission and you do it with no problems.

  • kerrigan vs zeratul with 1000dmg warp blade GO

  • @MurryEB Zeratul only had 1000 damage warp blade in the last mission where he killed the overmind, this one he's got 100 again but the cell only have 25 HP leftover. But still. 100 damage can kill Kerrigan easily

  • @GaleStream i think it was actually when he killed the matriarch on shakuras

  • @MurryEB Nah, I can safely assure you the overmind had 2500 HP, Zeratul killed it in 3 shots, the cell had 25 HP, Zeratul blast if off with one shot and the matriach dies after the cutscene.

  • I wish i could spank the AI like that. All that ends up happening is being spanked my self.

  • 3:32 that was brilliant. He really tricked that shuttle.

  • The official strategy guild says to run this map completely differently. I wonder why Prima's official guild is completely full of shit. There is no way I could get the secret level doing it the way they said. Fuck you Blizzard! You tried to fuck me, but youtube.com own's your ass. Butts up to you getting fucked! Sorry to vent, but these levels will drive you crazy sometimes. $<0

  • went very smooth... honestly almost everything went as in the video, I had my 2 bases further back though, and got some more upgrades so took longer but w/e

  • wait why did u pause during the talking? does the timer go down?

  • @Gredran the coutdown timer won't go down, but the Elapsed Time shown to you in the end will go down unless you pause the game.

  • well actually i did beat this with 18:15 left before, but that was because i cheated :P

  • i liked this run very much. thanks to this run, i finished this mission with 14:33 left (and i was happy with that), considering i am a zerg n00b. And this was the first time I ever got to play Hybrid V. Thumbs up, arms down.

  • Ye gods, I hate this mission! Finally a strategy that actually works!

    Though I wasn't able to do it as fast (nor do I care), I finally beat the mission and got the "secret" bonus mission.

  • he kills those reavers so fast. those things destroy half my stuff before i can kill them

  • Freaking amazing! I do it but, never even considered rushing! And I can't beat it with 5 min left w/o cheating. Well done!!

  • This is unbelevable.

    I have watched it over and over, and I still spent 3x the time, more units.

    My recently attempt I lacked on building next to the stasis cell.. noticed it with 30 seconds left... lost.

    How i hate playing zerg......................

  • gg jj

  • Why do you open menu when there are dialogues?

  • @MetaIhead89 the timer doesn't run while the menu is open, meaning you have a lower time to show off. XD

  • lol 3:35!! stupidest move ever, even for an AI.

  • What is AI ?:D

  • artificial intelligence i believe, which means the computer player ;)

  • Thanx :D

  • @DraMattIck artificial intelligence.

  • Use "power overwhelming" at in the end, Zeratul can't break open the cell... LOL it was so humiliating:

    "... For what I am about to do..."

    -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash- -slash-

    "uh..."

  • @mars200125 i know eh lol i did that once or before i laughed so ahrd now read your comment :P

  • ew when matriach dies her "uhh" sounds male'ish

  • cuz it was actually a normal DT. Blizzard were so lazy they couldn't make: aldaris unit, raszhgal unit, norad 3 unit

  • @ingarsss in warcraft 3 they did

  • how you can control the Zorgs??

  • "You're free to go?" Pffft.

    Dude can teleport (or at least, he has friends on an Arbiter who can teleport him). She couldn't have stopped him if she wanted to.

  • Dude that's what her ensnare can probably fix :P But true that.

  • Actually she could've..after all, she managed to destroy every last UED ship that waned to run back Earth, this bitch is merciless. That's why I love her.

  • legendary drop at 3:31

  • crap I can scarcely do it this fast with cheats on.

  • great!

  • i've never played brood wars; how do you get lurkers?

  • build a hydralisk den and upgrade one of your hatcheries to a lair

    then you can research lurkers at the hydralisk den

    once it's complete you just select any hydra and click on the 'upgrade to lurker' icon

  • nicely done

  • yes, zeratul kill razzy, but she shouldnt come back as a dragoon?

  • SC2 PLOT TWIST REVEALED...

  • @TerrorBlack no such thing as hybrid u d- scrub

  • who said anything about hybrids?

  • nicoelson: Only Zealots come back as Dragoons, "razzy" is a dark templar

  • zealots n ht

    and stalker? dark dragoon...

  • what a genius!

  • You'd think the computer would be smart enough to shuttle the Reavers to the other side of the base.

  • very gg!

  • heh... 2cm drop....

  • weird seeing such low apm hehe

  • Cheese!

  • I just want to say one thing... kerrigan is A SON OF A BITCH

  • Well, at least Protoss still had guts to humiliate her with scouts!

  • ehmm...a son of a bitch? is kerrigan a man???!!!

    Kerrigan is A DAUTHER OF A BITCH

  • that's creative

  • neehh...its just common sense...and some hate directed to kerrigan

  • she is a sister of bitch

  • @Helghast57 actually just a bitch...

  • @Helghast57 shes badass

  • @Helghast57 u mean daughter of a bitch lol

  • @Helghast57 Daughter of a bitch. XD

  • 3:35 LOL nice. tricked them into stranding their own units onto an island.

  • his background does the same shit as mine, i think all windows comps get fucked over by starcraft because all of mine have and macs arent, fuck windows vista i wanna find the dumb cunt who made that shit and shove a soldering iron up his cockhole.

  • get windows 7 :)

  • its not windows or vista. i have an xp computer and a vista and they both work fine

  • Very good micro u just owned every unit he trew at you

  • the 8th mission is ungodly difficult, i practically cheated in one sense, i sent a unit capped drop right at the cliff where the overmind is, killed surrounding units, and rushed the overmind with ultras, hydras, and then pulled them back and last hit with my dark templars, this mission is way easier after that shittiness, only one enemy base that is easy to rock up, no massive AOE AA like valkyries and guardians put down

  • I don't remember anything hard at all in the whole bw campaign, actually...

  • @BiffTheUnderstudy your joking, right?

  • Good job.

  • i havent played BW in awile, zerg still rox tho :)

  • You're just luck they warped high templars to archons

  • thats awesome =)

  • This is simply insane...

  • i'd say level 8 was the hardest mission i could ever play, i never actually beat it i just cheated (and later found out there was a massive resource pile at the bottom of the map, so i may try it again some day). the first time i tried this mission i was attempting to tack with only guardians, mutalisks, and devourers. that was an epic failed attempt. i feel so bad for zeratul, like that was really REALLY shitty of kerigan

  • Finally, I managed to beat it today! It took me 2 hours...but worth it.

  • i do my best...but i simply have not enough time :S also if i want to unlock secret mission i must do it in 25 mins...this is insane for me ;/ well i'll do my best...

  • thanks

  • f**king imposible ...hate speed runs..!

    And wtf?where is high templars?they hit me with psionic storm and i'm done..and in this video i don't see high templars ;/

  • "hate speed runs..!"

    Then do not watch them.

    "where is high templars?"

    Notice early on, the runner kills 2 archons. Perhaps the AI morphed its templars into archons because the high templars did not have enough energy for storm, or perhaps it hadn't made any yet. Try turning on black sheep wall to see where the high templar come from, and whether rushing forces the AI to meld them early. My guess is that it has to do with either rushing, luck, or both.

  • Thanks alot for the strategy. It worked like a charm.

  • this was the hardest mission in the whole series, Omega was cake compared with it.

  • What about zerg level 8?

  • Zerg8 was really easy for me. Just had to make sure I get the unguarded ressource spot at the bottom early one

  • yeah the key to beating 8 is to have a lot of hydras and overlords. the first time i played it i beat it with trouble, but the second time i had a harder time despite destroying both bases on my side of the sea because I kept the hydra count down

  • WTF!!!

    that guy playz jus like me but when i try that the high templarz hit me with pisonic storm like shit how come i dont see any high templar here...

  • At the begining , teh bot choose to make archons , so the templars wasn't here ...

  • I never beat this mision without cheats.You are the best player from STARCRAFT.I discover my mistake in this video.I usually attack from right and left.I don`t go in front.Thank you !

  • I wish I could try to beat this mission but I can't freaking beat the one before!! it's called to slay the beast...it's too fucking hard! I need help please!

  • i beat it just now in 25 min, the trick is just get ultras i had about 6-8, and then 8 dark temps, have a defiler cast dark swarm so u can drop units, then tell everyone to attack the overmind, and while doing so, dark swarm it so units don't take as much damage. note, save the mission right before u do it. takes a little luck. btw i coulda done it faster by 5 min maybe, but i upgraded melee attack n armor all of the way

  • Careful use of Guardians and Hydralisks can literally win every Zerg mission. Get a huge economy going, build up a bunch of hydras backed up by six or so Guardians, and hit hard and fast.

  • What's Kerrigan's problem anyway? What "revenge" is she talking about? Zeratul did nothing to her, expect trying to get his Matriarch back.

    Actually, if it weren't for him, maybe the first Overmind would've never died, and Kerrigan won't be free.

    Did I like, forget a cutscene or something?

  • i think that since she became a zerg she acquired the same desire of the first overmind of conquering everything. but to do so she first needed zeratul and raynor to destroy the UED and then she turned against them, because she knew they would stand in her way. that became clear after assault on korhal mission.

  • remeber that level back in the orginal Starcraft where zasz warns kerrigan to be careful,kerrigan says fuck off and at the end of the level you find out while kerrigans being raping tassadar's force zertual went and slew zasz while old kerrigan was'nt looking.Its this humlitiing deception that kerrigan wants revenge for.

  • True. Thanks for pointing that out.

  • He banished her from Shakuras and humiliated her on Char (in StarCraft 1).

    Hardly justified reasons for revenge, but Kerrigan is pretty messed up at this point.

  • Hahaha, Corsair was still hitting that poor guardian at 6:10. I'm gonna try this strategy. Nice use of Nydus Canal.

  • yo, i dont know how did this u or ur friend either 1 is fucking siiik

  • You kicked the computer's ass in 6 minutes and 6 seconds that was total ownage.

  • lol, this guy clicks soooo fast

  • Wow i suck... :(

  • Wow.

    This really helped me beat it. I used the same tactic you did.

    I didn't do it as quick though. I had something like 12:30 left.

    I didn't care for the speed run, so before attacking the main base I got 2 more guards and built up some more hydras.

  • what screen capturing software was used to make this?

  • Probably FRAPS.

  • I completed this mission in 9:21

  • The protoss are very advanced species and they are supposed to be very smart and have good eyes for tactics. The Brood War made them so stupid. The computer AI sucks so bad!

  • I had a lot of problems with this stage, so I emulated this tactic ("Don't attack the Terrans/Hydralisk-Only/Nydus-C­hannel-Attack"). The two Guardians were also vital. I ended up with 12:xx minutes remaining.

    BTW, I thought that the Bonus Mission was unlocked completing the mission in 25 min. or less, not 20 min. Are you sure about the 20 thing?

  • It's 25, yeah. Beat the mission with at least 5 minutes remaining on the timer.

  • I did that, yeah, but I didn't get Omega!

    Even though in the end it said "BONUS LEVEL ACTIVATED!"

    Help?

  • Hm? Omega is the level you always get.

    Did you mean Dark Origin? If so and you didn't get it... I don't know. =\

  • very nice, i was having trouble with that lvl. good vid

  • poor zeratul

  • he lost only because computer AI is so bad. If another human player played the protoss, the zerg base could have been completely annihilated. Seriously, that computer AI sucks... And I don't play any missions.

  • yea the ai is more of a training tool for those who want or need the training but i can swear to you there are people who cant even beat the computer. i know this one dude who had trouble completing the original starcraft terran campaign. in the last missions he kept running up the middle and then transporting to the ion cannon. needless to say he failed many times.

  • What was your strategy for that mission?

  • the obvious ones, Siege Tanks w/ Wraiths and Science Vessels... OR Battlecruiser Beatdown. how... well if i said it then id take the fun out of it.

  • If your comment is directed toward Alex Eustis, then I disagree. If you feel you can improve on his run, then do so, and submit it to speeddemosarchive.

  • SNAP!

  • THank you for including the cutscene at the end. I was hoping I could see it again:)

  • To access the Bonus Level, you must finish the mission before timer reaches 20:00, meaning 10 mins.

  • how do i acces the bonus level after I finish this mission ??

  • you must finish the mission in under 20:01 or just enter in there is no cow level

  • but if I do this, I get the level Omega instead.

  • you mean you don't get to play the bonus protoss mission? I am sorry if i can't help but my brother cheated through all of the levels and i just found out how to play it. sorry about that

  • u mean the auto-victory cheat "there is no cow level and power overwheming, etc?"

  • Took me more then double the amount of time.. But I was very unlucky with the spawns.

    2 Carriers, 2 HT and 3 reavers! :\

  • How do you make the back of the screen like that at the end when it shows the mins you mined and stuff?

  • "How do you make the back of the screen like that at the end when it shows the mins you mined and stuff?"

    It was actually not done by me, but it says somewhere on speeddemosarchive that this is due to a glitch with the recording software.
