Protoss Dark Archon Quotes

how to play protoss in sc1

mind control mind control mind control mind control

[onarass]

This fucking unit gave me so much trouble when I played against Protoss.

Mother fucker. Awesome unit to use though when you are Protoss.

[haxbox7]

I always mind controlled a ECV or a Drone

And used either terran or zerg :)

[legion999]

The "must consume" to "darkness overpowering" part gives me goosebumps whenever i hear it

[WarothDraath]

We are arrestful!

[kirbyawsome]

@vragoslav i actually think that zerg is a logicall choice for mind control. I mean, they are all about assimilating the other races... just sayin

[JonathanTopping]

I had such fun making dark archons then MCing all their archons. Then using their archons to MC their big units.

[2blaq4me]

Dark archons were so badass.

[XxXxXxXxmanxXxXxXxXx]

So sad i think the only protoss talking unit that doesn`t speak protossonian

[xGodix]

WE HEAR YOU

[1shot1kills2d]

@TableTennis1231 they gave Protoss ability to insta warp as much units as you want in every place on the map, so warp prisms + pylons + arbiters (or another unit with recall) would be kinda too much. I agree that mothership is used mostly in fun games, but it's usable.

I don't like the reduced number of casters in the game though :(

[pablomon3]

@GeoffShouldWin THANK YOU

[vragoslav]

Is a pity that they are not in SC2, probably they were thrown bicose corruptors, which in my opinion is pure nonsense zergs can control the enemy units with wery long dick, its so stupid.. What wos so vrong with mind control, comon corruption hitting enemy with some long shit its so fu... STUPID!!!

What dark templars have forgotten that when they merge they make Dark Archon?????

SC2 has too many elements of Warcraft, in warcraft undead can control enemy units with spel. 2 + 2= zerg

[TableTennis1231]

@vragoslav They split abilities of Dark archon that's why. They gave zerg fungal which includes stopping units in their tracks (maelstrom). and gave feedback to High Templars. Then they gave mind control to the zerg because they thought mind control for Protoss would be overpowered. Hey its just like they did with the arbiter, they gave it to the terrans (raven) and changed abilities. then gave Protoss the most shitty ass unit in the game. Mothership.

[vragoslav]

@TableTennis1231 I entirely agree with written, geaving the zergs mind control is totaly illogical.. Its seams now the zergs are advanced species not the protos. Abaut shitty ass Mothership its in mid game like usles bicos by then evribodey hawe anti invisible units so Cloaking Field usles, Vortex yes you can remuve most of the enemies from the field for some time but when they are back you are dead, Mass Recall can be useful if you hawe units to recal after bilding Mothership

[TableTennis1231]

@vragoslav I think that they should put in Leagacy of the Void, is give Twilight Archons stasis and abilities because they are the light side or energies of the Khala. And for Dark Archons, feedback, maelstrom and mind control (Dark Side). Blizzard should research more on Starcraft and the different races, hell maybe they should show the gigantic war the two psionic sides had (High Templars and Dark Templars). Blizzard does not know its game anymore, it makes me sad.

[vipersickboy24]

they should be in SC2. I really hope they'll bring them back in Legacy of the Void

[scout8100]

gibt es die sprüche von den protoss auch in deutesch? bitte um Rück antwort

[miles305678]

Best lines: "Thoughts in chaos." and "Adun save me!"

[BorkaBonum]

@pablomon3

Now would be a good time to grab StarCraft Brood War ;)

[pablomon3]

@BorkaBonum orrrr just tell me what the difference is ;)

[BaxterXenon]

@pablomon3 Well Regular Archons as of StarCraft I are made of Templars that are linked with the Khala making them into giant balls of psychonic energy. Dark Archons are made from Dark Templars who aren't linked to the khala, and instead of using psychic powers they channel dark void energies and thus because of their use of void energy they become DARK archons.

[pablomon3]

@BaxterXenon ... i mean like stats lol

[BaxterXenon]

@pablomon3 Oh....fuck....well the HP and Shields are the same, they got godly shields but they can be one shotted. It just that Dark Archon has no basic attack, Archon has a regular godly one. Dark Archon use three abilities. Mind Control (Mind Controls enemies hence the name), Maelstrom (I forgot what this is, but it freeze a unit), Feedback (Deals damage to target by the amount of energy he has)

[pablomon3]

@BaxterXenon ohhh okay thanks.

[GeoffShouldWin]

@BaxterXenon Hp/ Shields aren't the same but they are very similar. DA has 200 hp and 25 hp archon has 350 shield and 10 hp And i think both their armors are 1 at the beginning.

[TheMsMETALscorpion]

@pablomon3 archons are fromed from high templar and extermiate everything while the dark archon is formed from dark templar and they drain the life of others to kill

[stefanovol1]

@pablomon3

BTW 1996 SC ...

[TheEvilPillows]

@pablomon3 the exact same as the unit themselves, but darks had energy, and could mind contro lany unit permently, with a cost to their energy based off enemys max hp.

[BorkaBonum]

@TheEvilPillows

Wait - didn't Mind Control always cost 150 energy and drain all the shields of the Dark Archon instantly whatever unit you did Mind Control?

[ShihayazadOnRage]

@BorkaBonum yes it does ;-)

[Stoner0Jesse]

@BorkaBonum ye ur rite 150 to mind control shield drained to 0

[Dman41000]

@BorkaBonum nope just costs 150 energy the ai auto targets the mced unit and than the dark archon

[BorkaBonum]

@Dman41000

I think you're refering to an outdated patch.

[ChocolateNinjaStar]

@BorkaBonum Yes, and as a Terran player with a lot of love for Cattlebruisers, I have done my fair share of swearing because of MC.

[Maciejka0111]

@BorkaBonum

Liked to use on SCV's and Drones.

[JonathanTopping]

@pablomon3 Dark archons are spell casters. Regular archons are meant to tank and deal with swarms.

[TheTwilightUnicorn]

@pablomon3 Although my reply is rather late, I'm going to give it anyway. In addition to the Mind Control, the Dark Archons have ability to cast Maelstorm, which immobilizes all biological units in target area - also the friendly biological units. Their third ability is Feedback, which drains the energy from enemy unit, for example Terran Ghost, Protoss High Templar, Zerg Queen, and then inflicts the same amount of damage to the unit. Simply put, Unit with 60 energy + Feedback = 60 pts damage.

[Vladdyboy]

He sounds like me after 4 AM

[roflmao1872]

BEST UNIT EVER

[Wayvrn]

I take it at 0:46 he gets teleported away (why?) and the rest of the video is room for other quotes, that would have been there if he didn't disappear, yes?

[thesparkflyer]

@Wayvrn

It's the sound of casting Feedback

[superarbol]

i hate in sc2 no Dark Archon =/

[MostazalsLord]

@superarbol I'm not really sure if they should be coming back with their OLD abilities...maybe, just maybe, they will be coming back in Legacy of The Void (with some new crazy stuff).

[novacrash52]

More like Darchons amirite

[youarepwned]

Two things:

The recordings should have been made at a higher sample rate (I am aware that back then sound only came at 16 bits). I always thought that the Dark Archon said "Das arcanas!" (thoughts in chaos).

Second, this unit literally is the strongest normal unit (non hero) in the game. Why? Because once you mind control an SCV or Drone, you have access to the entire build line of your opponents.

Hint: zealots + medics > more zealots. ;)

[necroheartplucker]

Mind control, my favourite ability of the Dark Archons! I use cheats a lot, so I can control almost everyone in the enemy group, lol.

[roflmao1872]

BEST UNIT EVER

[Sfer0n72]

I think it's because DA's are empty (void) that's why they must consume (Must feed... ) or be consumed by the darkness ( Must consume... Or oblivion will take us...)

[mitxelus]

The stuff of nightmares

[Seiser2010]

I thought 0:22 was "We Rule".

[belshir]

when i was younger, i always though quote #4 was "farts and chaos!"

[thesnyder2]

Lets say your in the 5th grade, and you really belive in starcraft you think its real -in this case it is- and then when your walking to school with your friends, 3 hydralisk pop up out of nowhere you yell ADUN, SAVE ME!!! and then adun comes out of nowhere and saves you XD

[zanderjohn1]

This guy's voice was pure nightmare fuel when I was little.

[Saukkomestari]

Should be in sc2 that

2 high templars= archon

1ht and 1 dt= twilight archon (the beta archon)

2 dts= dark archon.

[Itachikiller12]

Dark Archon portrait looks like a giant, red, glowing loaf of bread. . .

o_o

[DuhuKaralius]

well.... Dark archon tells you a cheat code in SC 1. Power Overwhelming :D

[Shableh]

Has to be the coolest voice

[NezumiTheMouse]

the only thing i used these for was to seal drones

[Startnumber5]

@NezumiTheMouse LOL but that is still pretty effective lol

[1337Figaro]

Sound allmost exactly the same as WC2 deathwing

[exxon101]

Sounds like they enhanced the voice of a CoD Squeaker.

[henry161928]

RIP

[A4moondoggy]

miss these guys, i took control of a mothership and two carriers with infestors in sc2 yesterday, his remaining four carriers had to then destroy the mothership because it cloacked my infestors and my hydras cleaned everything up...infestors rock

[pardingo]

Not Protoss and not Zergin, no! You know I'm Terran up the niiiiiiiiiiight!

[SlientChaos]

cool story dark

[kaosblarrg]

Probably one of my favoritest character in SC1, miss mind control ):

[fadadioX]

I hope they dont ruin the voice in legacy of the void

[A4moondoggy]

@fadadioX where did you hear they are returning?? excited excited

[fadadioX]

@A4moondoggy its a guess seeing as all the old terran units except for valkaries returned in WOL

[hodenboden]

0:07 Thoughts in gaylords!

[SoleMan117]

If I ever saw a dark Archon comming toward me,

I'd probably poop myself to death.

[futaki20]

wtb mind control!

[Kox300]

Power overw... wait, Darkness overpowering!

[dkbust3r]

ghostly moan FTW

[DracheN0504]

We want this in SC2

[Saukkomestari]

I wonder what material that hood is. Even though you are a red glowing ball, hoods are still cool.

[darkmankill1]

the reason he wasnt in starcraft 2 yet was because they wanted to balance the game before adding too many complications to the game.

or their just stupid...

[LateNightGamer12]

omg sc1 voices sound soooo much better then most sc2 voices

[hahalollmaorofl]

Emo archons

[buldren0101]

Disappointing that these guys aren't in SC2... at least not yet

[operations1000]

Wow these dudes or dude basically just said the future of SC2...

[Arzaker]

neeeeeessssssss

where are you neeeeeeessssss

[kaino1990]

feel sorry for the dark archons they seem like they are in eternal pain, adun save me, hes fighting for the greater survival of the protoss race

[Kox300]

@kaino1990 well they are burning... cant be pleasant

[TomValedro]

@kaino1990 blobs of energy cant feel pain.

[TheTwilightUnicorn]

@TomValedro I disagree. Those Archons are Protoss people merged. They feel pain, they feel joy, they feel sorrow, they just do it in unison. Their thoughts and emotions are shared. Yes, they literally burn with energy, but that doesn't make them any less Protoss than they already are.

[used2venom]

@kaino1990 Becoming an archon - no matter - dark or normal, means death to identity of both templar. They merge and loose themselves to the powerfull psionic energy locked in protoss brains. Also - Archons dissipate over time. they die after short time. This is not shown in game.

all this lore is found in Dark templar saga. If i was wrong somewhere feel free to correct me :)

[TheTwilightUnicorn]

@used2venom It's nice to see someone else has read the saga, as well. :) Yes, I agree to the dissipation, but I'd like to add that perhaps there's even more to the painful existence of being a dark templar.

(Not going to explain the nerve-cord thing, I'm sure you're familiar with the individuality and reluctance to Khala?) As they merge, they go through what resembles very much like Khala link, but only between two Protoss. That is unnatural to most Dark Templar, I imagine, and very unpleasant.

[blahbluh1234]

@TheTwilightUnicorn Dark Archons die off quickly because they use too much energy due to the nature of the dark templar

[TheTwilightUnicorn]

@blahbluh1234 Indeed, they die just like the Templar Archons because they all literally burn with energy.

[blahbluh1234]

@used2venom Their identities dont die, its just the strongest personality takes over for both which is also the case with ulrezaj

[TheGrahamAker]

@kaino1990 I think he said adun save me cuz you clicked him too much and he is annoyed.

[Darkfoxx999]

@kaino1990 This is just me taking a stab at the lore part of it but the protoss darktemplar or not are still most comfortable with the Khala, because in the lore the khalinian protoss see darktemplar as emotionless because the pscionic cords is how the transfer emotion, the darktemplar can never truley feel love or happiness with each other and the farthest point from that is being completly emersied in darkness like a dark archon

[Omegax9000]

@kaino1990 I doubt there in pain read the books they are bad asses

[zapperxxx]

It makes me kinda sad that protoss are so powerful but this dark archon is being consumed by darkness, so he asks Adun to save him because darkness is too powerful... :l EN TARO ADUN

[Reneg4dez]

It's......

It's winking?

[TylerNessss]

one of the best SC portraits ever!

very dark and creepy.. really sets the ambiance right

[tdenmon]

Must consuASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL

[xIegionx]

If I recall the High Archon and Dark Archon's can fuse into each other, and they become what?

[BorkaBonum]

@xIegionx

In the game that's not possible - and from reading the story and details around the Archons I don't think that's possible even in the fiction of it.

However - a Dark Templar and High Templar can fuse into a ("regular") Archon in StarCraft 2.

[xIegionx]

@BorkaBonum That's what I meant.

There's high archons, dark archons, and regular archons

[BorkaBonum]

@xIegionx

There's just Archons and Dark Archons.

[xIegionx]

@BorkaBonum oh =x

if two dark templars combine thats a dark archon

two regular templars combine its an archon

a dark and a light = archon?

[BorkaBonum]

@xIegionx

Yeah, Two Dark Templars meld into a Dark Archon.

Two High Templars meld into a Archon.

One of each also melds into an Archon. Initially intended to be a "Twilight Archon" during the development of StarCraft 2 but was scrapped in favor of a regular archon as nothing else is made manifest in the novels through the years either.

[xIegionx]

@BorkaBonum So I assume Normal archons are different and more powerful

[SmartMiroku]

@BorkaBonum How much do you wanna bet that it wasn't scrapped, more along the lines of pushed back until the release of StarCraft 2: Something about Protoss :D

[BorkaBonum]

@SmartMiroku

Well - the Twilight Archon was completely lame as it was really a regular Archon but it had clumsy feet and legs. Which felt like one of those wood-chopping goblin machines from Warcraft 3 but with a fog-machine installed in it.

Myself I doubt it'll be anything they'll introduce in the game ever since it was just crap, like the Infested Protoss, which simply is crap design combined with being impossible in the game universe. But... you never know :(

[SmartMiroku]

@BorkaBonum Well, you've got a point about that but it is entirely possible that they're working on a redesign. You know it is gunna be another two years before we get the next one. Atleast.

[IAreFauxReal]

@BorkaBonum Are there dark archons in sc2?

[BorkaBonum]

@IAreFauxReal

Not in Wings of Liberty atleast. Instead two Dark Templars (or one High and one Dark) meld into a "regular" Archon.

There's still a chance for more multiplayer units by the upcoming two campaign-heavy expansions.

[IAreFauxReal]

@BorkaBonum So will two high templar make a regular archon as well?

[BorkaBonum]

@IAreFauxReal

Yep. The only Archon in StarCraft 2 is the regular Archon

[Startrance666]

@BorkaBonum

Pretty sure each expansion will add 2-3 more units, so might se them, but think blizzard thought they were way to powerfull ^^ Dark archon taking over a worker then you got double population.

[BorkaBonum]

@Startrance666

Doubt it was ever too powerful - just lacked purpose in the current state of the game looking at how the Zerg's Infestor now got a differenciated version of the Mind Control.

A Dark Archon would also loose all its shield when taking an enemy unit over - leaving it with 10 HP alone in the original game until shields recharged again.

[Startrance666]

@BorkaBonum

Well infestor MC makes more sense than the dark archon, first and most important of them all, you cant take controll over a enemy worker, and get double population.

+ the feedback dark archons had in SC1 is now in the hands of the high templars

[napalmcannon]

@Startrance666 I wish they put Dark archons in, with infestor's MC and maelstorm. And also more shields in exchange for no feedback.

[STarCRAFT4BRITS]

@Startrance666 you can make a nexus with 1 infestor mind control vs a probe and u can use multiple infestors to gang bang an scv and make a command center slowly

[ProtossDarkArchon]

@IAreFauxReal  unfortunaetly not

[alecson95]

Hahahas I just noticed how dumb he will look like when he has a baseball cap on his head.. LOLOLOL!!

[Joe22c]

haha; I always thought the dark archon sounded asthmatic.

I also thought it looked like it wore a blue baseball cap.

[Oneiroi729]

I love how you can feel the depth of the units by their voices. I hope there's a voice mod in SC2 that allows units to have some SC1 voices

[shrooms57]

@Oneiroi729 There is a custom map made by someone that has both SC1 and SC2 units. He actually put some of the old voices with the units. The map is called SC1+SC2 total conversion.

[duskcrawler]

@shrooms57 Hmm, is it on SC2 Mapster? Or somewhere else? If so, can you message me the link? It sounds interesting.

[buldren0101]

@Oneiroi729 There are a couple of custom maps where people have been putting in SC1 voices, not sure how they do it but it is possible. Would love to have some old voices as well :D

[teetertoter3]

@Oneiroi729 There's a mod that allows you to play SCBW in SC2

team liquid. net and then /forum/viewmessage dot php?topic_id=145316

Or search SC2BW to in SC2 customs.

[Troforso]

@Oneiroi729 agree, voices and specialy protos looked cooler in sc1
