Prelude to Starcraft 2: Return of the Xel`Naga

[Jawbreaker1000]

I always thought that the combination of zerg and prottoss would actually make the xel naga. Like, the prottoss was one part, and the zerg the other. I don't really know; I've only played starcraft1. Just an idea.

[changegames]

awesome game

[TheReturnOfJames]

It was pointed out in another video comment that Narud from from the Mobius Foundation is Duran spelt backwards. And, since the Mobius Foundation knew what the artifact would do AND knew how to assemble it, I believe that Narud is possibly a Xel' Naga that survived the thousands of years. Anyone agree?

[darkmankill1]

@TheReturnOfJames It looked like fucking lego lmao.

but yea Duran=Dr. Narud and Duran is helping the terran who are excluded from the cycle thingy.

and then stuff and ??? profit.

[CKY5363]

windows 7 user :P

[simplysurprising]

yay, 2 FPS <3333333333

[Darizzna]

i hope  is Duran come back in Heart of the Swarm!

[baciu14]

@Darizzna i hope 2 that blizz didnt forget him i bet u need to kill him when u kill him after many tries and other missions he turns into a xelnaga lol but in sc 2 mengks is cloning the zerg hybrid 2 maybe ull kill him 2

yeah in wol u descover the xel nagas assault ,on hots u stop the production of cloned xel naga hibrids , in lotv u kill em yay<3

[EarlinePerkins5905]

Hah, I was talking about Zerg and? Protoss' philosophy, not Blizzard's =)

[LoisMaurice0221]

It's a good thing they decided? to have the original kerrigan voice actor =]

[GertrudeRodriguez8]

i can't wait for this game!? i love starcraft

[DeannMills0076]

Love? sc

[Leny1777]

Whats with your computer?

[Enerccio]

Dr. Narud sure looks black here....

[XxSpawnmasterxX]

save the cheerleader....save the universe!!

[killguta]

Am I the only one who thinks that Duran is seriously creepy? :O

[snapsnap117]

dude what did samire do!

[cortez14088]

@snapsnap117 he is creating the hybrids, and he is planning to bring back xel naga to destroy all life in universe.

i might not be 100% right so correct me if im wrong. :)

[gxycybro]

@Jihedok67 your a fucker

[cheesemongler]

i wonder if they make a starcraft 3 with the Xel'Naga for a 4th multiplayer race. Mabye except they might keep classic with terran, protoss, and zerg. Still be cool to see...

[KakuKachoO]

epilepsy

[08jnope]

i heard the Xal'naga will be in the Protoss version of Sc2 whether or not you will be able to play as them i don't know cuz they might end up being like the dark templar in star craft 1(you can use them but you cant build them).

[GeeSuperDee]

lolz its k it happens to me but not anymore

[AstroRacer80]

yeah im downloading SC 2 beta now I just got a solution to get beta key from Starcraft2Solutions[dot]tk

[AxelTheManly]

Completion of a cycle: Basically the Xel have both the abilities of the Zerg and the Protoss, yet reduced enough for the Zerg to kill them. Now they sent Duran to combine their powers again, becoming a evolution of what they where to begin with, and thus a new cycle completes.

I bet all races will fight together to kick the Xel Naga`s ass, this will assure the fact that all races will still be around on SC3.

[formsdn]

@AxelTheManly

To kick Xel Naga's ass and to protect the world tree from burni... le... xel'naga.

So true: history repeating. History of Warcraft 3 in SC2.

P.S.: SC3 will introduce 2 new races: orcs and undead

[AxelTheManly]

@formsdn Lol, thats true... and the SC2 expansion will have some more races.

-Mysterious knight people from planet Knighteria

-sevlE kraD, a mysterious race that hide in the dark forests of Elvenia and fire "high speed projectiles" from their nevlE bows.

-Humans create the strange enigmatic rocks, a race of savage green men, that while not highly intelligent, manage to survive in outer space, attacking with stolen "knighteria weapons"

[AxelTheManly]

@AxelTheManly I forgot the rest:

Zurgdead: Beings, mostly humans, killed and re-awakened by Kerrigan in her twisted experiments to assimilate human dna into the Zerg stream, left alone in planet Undeadiouslous, they have been spreading surprisingly fast and attack everything believing that the whole universe must become like them.

And lets not forget races abandoned by Kerrigan:

Brood elves: A race of live humanoids spliced with Zerg Dna, they seek more Dna to stop their "power hunger"

[AxelTheManly]

And finally:

Wargos Taran Forenics (WTF`s): A race that claims to be the "god" race in the universe of starcraft, they once possessed unlimited creativity, yet now unable to find the "stones of creativity" Aka ("balls to try something new") they wage wars around the universe destroying all creativity and killing all in order to cause the end of the whole universe, and so far, this race is rapidly increasing in power. They are rumored to have wiped out several universes already, amongst: Diablo

[maxxcat244]

lol how u get this level?

[AxelTheManly]

I believe you need to beat the final protoss level pretty quickly. Basically when Tass kills the matriarch, a new warphole will open and he will walk inside.

If this happens you have cleared it.

I believe you must beat the strict time limit you get on that level.

[Archzenom]

Hey! I love the content but what's wrong with your SC selection screen? It's so distorted.

[lotrfanpi]

I woner if we get to fight the Hybrids in SC2

[EradicationStation]

most likely in the campaign and available in the campaign editor

[thehantavirus]

too bad xel naga isnt a race beCAUSE it would be so cool

[Baconmonster723]

Duran may be a decendant of the Xel'Naga, he may be pawn. But he has lived for millenia, and he is creating a bastardization of what the Xel'Naga wanted, which was a natural combination of purity of form (Protoss) and purity of essence (Zerg). The Xel'Naga wanted it to happne naturally, Samir Duran and his master or maybe just Samir Duran. But rest assured what Duran is doing is going to upset the sector as a whole.

[3DiegoF]

zeratul is my fav heroe

[Hunkyfish20]

So Duran might be an actual Decendant from Xel'naga? and he's very very very old. So logically like him there are many Xel'naga hiding behind the shadows

[nikolrami]

no tassedar bring his life to kill the overmind she kill aldaris

[junmin333]

Kerrigan Killed tassadar right?

[rousson44]

@junmin333 No : in starcraft 2 they figth each other

[teranfoong]

Starcraft:Brood War

[meeeegaman]

Duran is a Xel'Naga but from a diferent race Yari before he escaped he killed 20 Xel'nagas he runned with a ship that even Xel'nagas coulnd follow

[LeoBliksem]

samir duran is not in the stasis cell samir duran make it

[nefredil]

Wait! Why is Samir Duran in protoss setllement, in which stasis cell? it confuses me! who captured Duran?

[Haldinyar]

I agree that its xel'naga, it would make sense that the xel'naga were maybe experimenting splitting themselves into 2, and they are reffered to as gods, imagine protoss intelligence and zerg near immortality

[patriciobello]

you can unlock this by the following intructions:

first go to the zerg mision number .

then use the cheat "power overwhelming" to be powerful and can destroy the protoss base quick and easy.

then before 5 minutes, if you have destroyed the protoss base you will unlocked the secret mision.

do you understood me?

jajaja bye or just destroy the protoss base before 5 minutes whitout use cheat, you can do this, is esasy.

[liveroadkilll]

how do you unlock this?

[hawijad]

Dude dont take it personlig but you really need a new PC i dot cear but i hope you will buy one over 1GB ram

[VermillionWind]

whooaaa thats creepy.

Its a protoss/zerg hybrid right?

creepy.....

I just hope Zeratul doesnt die in Starcraft 2 lol.

[nicoelson]

zeratul pwns, but i miss tassadar

[samirgeagea12]

yeah i wished if tassadar was still alive in broodwar or even in starcraft 2

[themiz888]

@VermillionWind zeratul will die in starcraft II look both parts of mission preview "hyperion command" you'll se zeratul almost dead in raynors battlecruiser giving him message

[l2ash]

@themiz888

Funny. Though Zeratul will play in the 2nd Expansion pack; "Legacy of the Void" .And alive and well.

Just becuase he looks harmed, Doesn't automatically going to make him dead.

[thewanderer916]

@VermillionWind In one of the missions, he does. But then you realize that the misson you just played was a vision of the overmind.

[TheYoungik]

@VermillionWind every hero in protoss die and they get destroyed by the zerg swarm :(

[Roflstompedzor]

i think that the xelnaga must hav had some enemy, and that this guy serves who their enemy was, because arent all of the xelnaga dead by the overmind? or not completely. if the xelnaga had an enemy would sort of give a reason for them to be creating races so that they could use them against the enemy...

[IsArtanisAzn]

@Roflstompedzor The enemy could be humanity.. because before they even created the Protoss and Zerg, humans where there already, right? So we were the only other species in StarCraft in that time.

[Hatchatfatbat]

NOPE the protoss was first, THEN zerg and THEN us... and the xel-naga just created the overmind, but it came out of control. Play the story

[IsArtanisAzn]

but, it was in 2400s when they first found zerg.. cause like a few years ago protoss and zerg were made. We were here like, when Jesus was here, and no one had a clue about them. I did play the story.

[Hatchatfatbat]

Ye... WE FOUND zerg in th 2400s but the xel naga created the owrërmind way earlier.

[garapa]

how are you able to leg with SC???? it's from 1998. WTF

[omigami]

if you go to your screen's properties' colour to 16 bits, you'll prevent those weird colours from popping up at the menu and the water during the game. (sorry for the weird description, but i do hope i helped at least someone with this information =P)

[omigami]

'if you go to your screen's properties' *change your* coulor to 16 bits.'

sorry made a little mistake xP

[Jets262]

I just played this xD

It said "Bonus Mission Unlocked!"

And It just came to this o.O

[TassadarX23]

what is the mission call

[cardenaldearizona1]

starcraft el mejor juego de pc que hay zeratul mi idolo

[viralhatred]

complete last zerg mission really quickly and you unlock this secret bonus mission.

[ncscute13]

Not the last mission

viralhatred you can unlock this if you finish dark origin with 5 minute time remaining and btw dark origin is zergs second to the last mission.

[ringmaster316ms]

the bonus mission is called dark origin, the mission you have to haul ass on to unlock it is called the reckoning

[weonjin]

zelot had sex with zerging that is how it was created

[stickbombstudios]

how do u get the bonus level?

[jaltesorensen]

in one of the last or middle zerg levels in brood war you get an option that it would be prudent if you could beat the enemy within 30 minutes.

If you beat the enemy within 30 minutes you get the bonus level.

[samylant]

u have 2 beat it with 5 minutes left on the timer.

[gxycybro]

@jaltesorensen it's mission 9b classifed beat the protoss in 25 minutes

[Anthnwam]

@jaltesorensen no 25 mins

[WarHero1246]

@jaltesorensen Well that's easy to do! I just made some ultralisks, evolved and upgraded everything, sent 'em over to the base, and sat back and watched the massacre!

[ilovesupu1402]

@jaltesorensen Yeah! If you want to Play this several time, save it at the beginning :)

[CellPhoneCanonRock]

@stickbombstudios actually, you just have to beat one of the late zerg missions and you will get it automatically, but it doesnt appear on the campaign list, so you have to save the game as soon as it begins so you can play whenever you want

[Macrowarn]

Protoss: We shall leave no enemy in the battlefield, we shall devour you all and the Protoss race will reign all over the world!

Zerg: wat he said

Terran: idk, something about his penus?

[pikachupwnsU]

LOL nice one.

[strife17O7]

XD that's -great-!!

[Ncs666]

i dont get it

[Ncs666]

i get the vid i meant a joke someone made.

[ludersatan]

samir duran is an agent of the xel´naga (the ancient race)

samir duran hires some humans to handle some stolen protoss equpiment along with normal terran stuff.

samir duran makes a hybrid between protoss and zerg - all on the orders of the xel´naga.

that is very plausable when you have read all the material put forth on starcraft 2 and the manual for starcraft 1 - the back story

this is all centered arong the story-arc of starcraft 1 -> starcraft 2

[ringmaster316ms]

its fairly obvious its xelnaga, but his words left it open for it possibly being the consciousness that was the original overmind. i say this because what duran is doing was the overmind's wet dream: join the protoss and zerg together into one race. remember we know nothing about the true nature of the overmind, and for surviving, overpowering his creators and rampaging his way to a planet whose location he didnt even know until after zasz died, sealing himself inside a body he (cont)

[neosmndrew]

Heh, I like the idea of the orginial overmind playing a part in Starcraft 2, him being my favorite character. Though it is probably Xel'Naga, maybe the Xel'Naga revived the Overmind and put him in the form of Samir Duran (hence "many names throughout the millennia")

[TechUnadept]

going into the campain editor and changing the tileset, then going back to SC proper will get rid of that color distortion.

[Cheepn1s]

Duran: MAG-NI-FI-CENT, ISN'T IT?

Zeratul: wat

[SonsOfHateSphere]

To be continued... StarCraft 2!!! :D

[jackjohn6921]

Xel'Naga: "These ignorant fools are no match for our aeons of knowledge."

Terran: "Heil Terrans! *drawing from fat cigar* Let's clean up those Zerg fucks and teach 'em arrogant Protoss a bit about Terran cannons! Hellll yeah! Them bloody Xel'Naga can come too, metal and shrapnel pierce all the same. Our deployed siege tanks will be waitin' for a fun time!"

Protoss: "Uncivilized beasts and coward Xel'Nagas - that's too many lowlifes in one universe." *Psi interference sounds*

Zerg: "NEW FOOD!"

[adamisuber]

more like

Xel Naga: "Man these races we created be whacked out!"

Protoss: "Blasphemy! Madness!"

Zerg: "*click click* rawr"

Terran: "WHY DOES EVERYTHING WANT US TO DIE?"

[TechUnadept]

UNSC: I know! that sucks! wait a minute, how'd i get here?

[kanjid]

you have to destroy the base (9.mission-zerg-brood war) in 10 minutes and then you will get the mission

[chaklong]

YOU DIDN'T BUY THE GAME?

[ChocolateEater21]

i think blizzard say that you wont be able to play as another race but it doesnt mean than another race wont somehow be a part of the story. or maybe there will be an expansion for starcraft 2 as well, in which they would another a new race.

[Qw3rtyz]

You might get to play like Xelnaga just as you played naga in Wc3:tft...

btw, Xel`Naga Naga :o PERHAPS THEY R THE SAME :P

strange how they are named the same, just that it is Xel` before in starcraft...

lazy blizz..... :p

[geraldkho]

theres going to be three SC2 games. The first, Wings Of Liberty, has all the Terran Campaigns ONLY. It'll still have all multiplayer functions and you can play the other races in a custom game but you have to buy the to other games to play the Protoss and Zerg missions. you can also play using some XelNaga units but they are not a standard playable race and cannot be used as a normal race.

[chevelleinc12]

where did you find that info man?

[geraldkho]

theres quite a few website out there with info, just search it up. i also watched the BlizzCon presentation, which you can find on sites like youtube or veoh.

[lucasfraca]

how and where do you get the hybrid mission?

[xX20AxFreedomx]

It's in a Zerg Brood War secret mission, where Kerrigan captures Ragazasal

[lucasfraca]

but where can I download it? I will get it when I play as the zerg in starcraft brood war?

[xX20AxFreedomx]

Yeah.

..

and it's a paid game.

Buy before you can play.

[pontus515]

I really hope that the Third Race(not this hybrid) appears in the second game, it would be awesome.

[UchijaJPX]

I think u mean fourth race. But it seems that there won't be another race. Maybe troops from the Xel Naga, or hybrids that u must figth in certain missions. Well we can only wait

[pontus515]

NO. Have you read the books? The third race was made to absorb and live on the Zerg and Protoss energies. It´s like a huge glowing energy creature. It apears for the first time in "Shadow of the Xel´Naga".

[UchijaJPX]

Well i didnt read the books. And in that case it would be the fifth (1st terran 2nd protoss 3rd zerg 4th Xel'Naga). And blizzard denied that there would be another race. But well let's wait maybe Blizzard put that race or the Xel Naga in the expansion ^^

[ziggy0407]

damn blizzard for not showing whats in that tank! cheapass tube!

[superdra132]

Xel'naga are going to be a race to tell about the protosss and zerg pass and power

[Shadow14l]

Blizzard denied that Xel'naga were going to be a race.

[orest1s94]

i wonder if that zergtoss hydrid will be on sc 2 as a zerg unit.

[tippmannboya5]

true i have the same problem

[mymomasezimcool]

its nothing with the graphics card, it happens on vista because of the colors

[AndyNor1337]

get a better graphics card -.-

[jimyjoe76]

you graphics suck y do they it looks like u have a 32 mb video card

[bliztertoto]

Its a bug when you alt-tab.....

[wigglz1]

yep i hate it when that happens :'(

[GeneralGroznia]

yeah it pops up every now and then

[alex15dd]

yout grafic is like shit

[Energi2dmax]

There will be NO Xel'Naga is starcraft 2.

[wigglz1]

dude are you a dumb ASS? blizzered said that the XEL'NAGA is in SC2 and there a race you can play as

[Energi2dmax]

Ok ur obviously a noob.The Xel'naga are dead,but Duran geneticaly merged the protoss and the zerg which is something very similar or exactly as the Xel'naga were,cuz if u passed SC1 then try to recal what he said to Zeratul...

[wigglz1]

yea w/e ni have a freind that has SC2 and i saw the Xel'naga and you can make your own race so yea thats how i know..

[DharmaInitiative815]

Lmao , UltimaLies ftw

[TheDude72727]

I've never understood, did the Xel'Naga "create" the protoss, or did they just find them and help them advance? I do know that they found the zerg, because I read that the zerg were found on the planet Zerus, and were larvae-like beings that infested and took over other animals.

[Coyotetraceur]

Xel Naga created Protoss to be the "Perfect Being", but the Protoss got all arrogant, and called themselves as the "Ultimate Race" (Or something like that). Protoss where made as the most "Cute" Beings around, forgeting the soul. Xel Naga then, created the Zerg, thinking in Essence more than the external look.

Terran are.. well, terran.

(That's what i know..)

[monkaboy]

No, the protoss became self-aware and realized that they only need themselves to further their race, rather then having the xel'naga watch over them, and keep them in check.

[pontus515]

The Kalah unites all the protoss minds into one. The dark templar didnt want the Kalah because it would deprive their individuality and therefore banned from Aiur.

[liamondo3]

NO NO NO

They didn't create the Protoss they just gave them their knowledge and powers (ability to use physhic energy)

They created the Overmind too, but he became bent, using his physhic powers to take control of basic primitive animals (the ZERG) and making them stronger and more serving through his and underlings powers.

[Daka12s]

yes they did they fucking created the the Protoss but saw that they were good and were humble so they want raw power so they created the zerg then they wanted to combine them but the zerg kicked their ass so the xel'naga fled and stayed hidden its in the chapter books read them ^_^! ill find the link for you if i have to =P!

[Bijyuu]

xel'naga are probably gonna be like dranei and naga in wc3, special race thats there, but you can't use, except in custom maps.

[dinocha0s]

heres the story...xel naga creates protoss,then they were not satisfied so they helped some primitive lifeform evolved to create a new spicies,eventually the lifeform became the zerg and destroyed the xel naga...but i think there are still some xel naga suvivors tat wil apear in sc2

[marcaronx49z]

ahh good all times this is a bonus mission when you are near to the to the ending mission of the zerg

[rousson44]

this special mission clearly announced that the Xel'Naga were back but since the day when starcraft 2 was officialy revealed we didn't hear anything about them. Do you think that Blizzard wants to reveals it when the game will be in shops ?

[SmokeIsDaMan]

It isn't affirmed that he is an agent of the Xel'Naga. Thus, he may be something else. You can't affirm things like that.

[OmegaXzors]

Yes you can. Read the books. All confirmed in there.

[ShinobixReborn]

Againa assholes,

HES NOT FUCKIN LAGGING. It looks like that because RECORDING STARCRAFT IS FUCKIN HARD. 95% of screen recording programs can't record it. Including FRAPS. YOU TRY RECORDING IT YOU'LL GET A BLACK SCREEN WITH WHITE DOTS.

[Vlakpage]

Its not hard at all, my recording worked on first try, full size & stereo with no problem

[123conman]

this is the bonus mission u get when u play the 9th or 10th zerg mission w alot of minutes(I think 5) still left on the clock

[dannes22]

i wanna se whats inside that , played that today.. :/ hope we found out in sc2

[jejeroy]

omg lagy and update your driver of your video card

[skkev]

u have one laggy ass comp fag

[imnothere847]

super lag

[ShinobixReborn]

Hes not lagging, its nearly impossible to record Starcraft I'm surprised he got this, 95% of screen recording programs can't record it...

[Rodriguez87]

Excellent voice-acting.

[rpgProductions]

this is actually in the game, not just someone acting it out

[Rodriguez87]

No shit, sherlock. I meant that Blizzard really outdid themselves with the voice-acting for SC2.

[ShinobixReborn]

This isn't SC2 "sherlock"

[Rodriguez87]

That was a typo, asshole.

[Demonhaunter07]

is starcraft 1 campain!and the video is pooooooooooooooor

[longvuong1990]

what the hell happened with the screen???

[FullyCuhz]

was this in brood war?

[Runelasher]

yes bonus lvl

[Wabbit2131]

on the Terran level you have to kill the Overmind in under 15 minuets then it says somthing and unlocks this level its nothing great just for story line if you care

[Rayvenx54]

Try again, it's in the zerg level. It's a bonus protoss level within the zerg campaign.

[Wabbit2131]

ohh you got me man i was so unsure i had to go and cheat my way threw Their is no Cow level sped that up but yea man you got it zerg it is

[ShinobixReborn]

By the way Wabbbit2131 if you use there is no cow level this bonus mission won't be unlocked, go do some research and find exactly what mission it is then do power overwhelming or something.

[cloudmp]

kill overmind in 15 minutes? you must be God to do that!!!(or use some cheat code...)

[Wabbit2131]

umm nah man after you play online for a few months man you can general beat any starcraft level in 15 min haha unless it wont let you build a base starcraft computers are easy...trust me

[sergius666]

Yes

[darksonic214]

how do you make them talk like that my one is just words but mine is starcraft 1
