very simple, the achievement can finish in normal mode, just spam m&m and put place all around the bridge and near the missile turret.

This one is definately harder, this is what I did

1. At start, salvage that 2 bunkers at the bridge, you're going to hold your defense at the your base ramp
2. spam m&m, I went 4 barracks, 2 with reactor
3. At 11-10 minutes mark, gather all your troops push through the left exit and go all the way up straight, you'll find 2 hatchery there, kill it, then retreat your troops back to your base, I did it with about 50 m&m, but I didn't make it out alive all the way back to my base.
4. At 3 minutes mark, gather all your troops again, and push through the extact same location, they should rebuild the hatchery already, kill it, done, even if you fail the mission, you still get the achievement, you can float your CC and fly away and win like a coward.

Hi All,
I just completed all Mar Sara achievements last night. Took me 10 tries to get the Best Defense achievement on Hard mode. When i destroyed the 4th hatchery, i had to lift off my command center and flew it away with 1/4 health left. Guess i still need a lot of practice.

The reward is the Adjutant char profile.

Hope to hear more from you guys how you accomplish hard to get achievements.

Put 2 bunkers at each of your base entrance, surround the bunkers with supply depot. That will leave a very narrow path in and out. After you save the second batch of survivors with full team, go to the top Zerg base and destroy 2 hives. After that go back base. Gather 2 full army, leave some to defend right entrance, go out save third group of survivors and destroy the left zerg base. Remember to constantly set your barrack rally point to this place so that you can take it down. You must take this down before 1.30 minutes left in the countdown before mass Zerg appears

There is none and it's a bit stupid.

Only way is to save then go back to the load/save menu and in the description of the save it should show the time spend on the mission so far.

Erm, depends.

Some achievements are quite hard to get on the first try or while doing the other achievements for the mission.

What I would say to do is to play normally in the difficulty setting you find good for you.

Then at the end you can redo all the missions you want in hard or whatever and get achievement there.

Like you can redo the maps just to do the Hard achievement, easier this way.



The only issue with this is that you cannot change the tech/armory choices you did so if you need some other choices to complete the campaign, you are screwed and need to redo the whole campaign.

Yar, some of the protoss ones will be tough I think, especially on Hard... it's really quite a step higher than Normal.
I only had trouble on a couple of missions on Normal but hard is quite tougher.

Good replay value though and I like achievements smile.gif

I managed to get all the ones for Mer Sara (Zero Hour Hard one was tough but fun)

but your units must stay on the enemy's place because the dig laser needs time to recharge and shoot.

I just need to build multiple barracks. 2-3 to churn out marines and medics and the rest to fly off to reveal the structures. I will give it a go.
I know playing the new missions will provide an easier time to achieve it but i want to try and see if i can do it without nukes or vikings or scanner biggrin.gif

just make sure when you're doing "media blitz" mission you MUST pick up the secret object to unlock the secret mission otherwise you won't be able to get 29/29. i was lucky to find the object cause i like destroying anything that can be destroyed lol, just read on TL today some people weren't able to to get 29/29 cause they missed this object.

last mission on brutal is really hard also, took me 8 hours yesterday to finally finish it.

Other option also is to get the tech that get you the radar sweep ability for your command center.

Then build 2-3 of them and spam it, then use the dig drill to kill the buildings

I most of the liberty campaign achievements including Kerrigan's reward :} For viking arcade i won it and i have bronze medal. I'm not really keen to get silver or gold since there isn't any reward and it's an annoying game.

For secrets, i unlocked the secret mission from media blitz, and also the cow secret from zero hour.

I also have 3 feats of strength,

- you're so crazy
- the scenic route
- monster mash

I suspect there are more, but no word yet online doh.gif Obviously i don't have the fan achieve since i don't have the collector's edition.

Strategy is to build 2-3 barracks and fly it North of the Protoss base using the terrain advantage to reveal the structures.

Got a question for you guys, can enlightened me how to issue multiple commands for the dig laser? I tried Shift+click on the protoss units and i can see it set a waypoint in sequence but after that, the laser didn't fire. Then i tried Shift+Right Click and still not working. So ended up manually targeting the units one by one. Appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Thanks for the tip Dietylord. So you have to get the laser to hit the first unit before issuing the chain commands. *Will try this when i start Brutal campaign.

I got 2 more Hard achievements recently:-

1. Safe Haven [protect citizens choice] - Successfully defend 3 outposts.
Luckily i did the mission with the Siege tanks first because having the tanks really helps to destroy the last Protoss Nexus. If i just send in waves of Vikings and Marines+Medic, can easily get slaughtered by the many Void Rays, Collosi, Carrier and Immortals. Not to mention the zealots and stalkers.
Did you guys manage to achieve this without the Siege tanks? Can share your strategy?

2. Breakout [Side with Tosh choice] - Complete the mission <25 mins.
Lots of micro manage and need to spring the prisoners to access Diamondbacks and Siege Tanks and good placement of Nukes. I did it in 24 mins. If you guys got a better time and strategy, kindly share.

Yep, doing the Hard achievement on Brutal will count and you will get credit.

But Brutal is.... Brutal so it might be tough to do all together smile.gif

i got mine easy by using bunkers+siege tanks on the sides of the tracks. if you did the siege tank mission after train robbery, i'm not sure if you can then go back and play it with siege tanks available though.

basically shift-click is adding actions into the queue of the dig laser. and the laser will drill the temple when it has nothing else to do. so if the laser is digging the temple, and you do shift-click on others, it will attack others AFTER its done with the temple. So the correct usage should be, if the laser is digging the temple, right click on to enemy then you instantly shift right click onto others to add into the queue, and is attacking enemy, you can keep adding action by shift right click, and when all actions are done or enemies goes outta your visible range, the dig laser will auto dig the temple, again, at this time, u should not shift right click, cause any later action will be executed after the temple is down.

I read in official forum ppl ranting about achievement being reset once u migrate.

what is so important about achievement in SC2 btw?
It is a measurement for ladder and match placing?
Or is there any other thing?

Well, some unlock some portraits or tag for your units, so you look a bit less "noob" in MP games.

But that's all, mainly achievements are for bragging rights.

Completed all missions in hard, gotten all achievements that listed out at the end of each mission. Seriously hard for the final mission last achievement that specify only use the artifact once in hard difficulty, keep saving & loading also cannot, needed to restart few games, and got it after many hours of trying.

Siege tank on siege mode only do 10 damage per shot on the queen, and she has >1k hp, plus there are tons of hydra/ultra with her while i can only use the artifact once in the entire mission which caused me pain in the ass. always lose half of the defending fleet on whichever entrance she came in.

What it means by 50 supply worth of units? Killing 50 units enemy under 15 seconds? how to they determine 15 seconds?

launching nuke consider within 15 seconds?

my achievement score was below 700 i think, but i got into achievement crazy mode and now 1.1k+ biggrin.gif

i found out that if you beat Insane AI in custom match requirements, you automatically get levelled for V.Hard, Hard and Medium as well.

say if you do Blitz for Insane AI, you get the rest. finish 10 custom games with Insane AI, the other 3 will be auto achieved.

no that is not, i able to destroy all, try again, when the game start, add more scv with harvesting, withdraw and sell of your outer bunkers, just defend on higher ground, , create another bunker there.

Got benefits at higher ground, only 1 entrance and they cant attack until they see you. so defending wise will be alot easier, mass produce marines and supply depots, you should know that by pressing the shift key u can order scv to queue building, set hot keys(ie ctrl-9) on all barracks, always remember to watch your unit count and keep supply depots up. use hot keys to train marines. also upgrades for marines are very important, even its only level 1.

after rescue 2nd batch of soldiers, you should have enough fire power to start attack them, start with top left base, keep making marines with hot key, dont spend too much time on your base, micro management is very important. when only front few marines capable to shooting at target and blocked others, move them all in front b4 start shooting, might lose some marines but save you alot of time.

Do not think you have 20 mins, the last few mins cant count cause there are plenty of zerg ejecting out, if you just want to achieve 4 hatcheries, just do top left and the left 1, top right 1 is much harder, 2 hatcheries each side.

ehh, i do find that one tough too. thanks for the pointers, will try it out some day.

the one on the upper right is tough. even on normal mode it's more heavily defended.

btw yay! 1.3k++ now. just doing it for fun. it's the hard mode challenges that i'm not likely to do unless I'm bored. finished the game hard mode, so would prefer to have a breather before going back in. biggrin.gif

I went to the hatcheries south-west personally, not so defended.

There are 3 there, I killed them (do not kill all the drones), moved back a bit, waited 30 seconds and move back in, they are rebuilding one hatchery, destroyed it when it was still under construction and got achievement.

It took me 3-4 tries to get my timing and economy start setup but it's not impossible smile.gif
If you doing it for achievement, screw the initial base and bring all your troops with you.

done this, i able to clear off their entire base in normal =P, basically this map got a catch, they give you new tech goliath, if you keep building them, will make your mission very difficult, especially in hard, cause your goliath is no way able to do as much damage as their void ray and void ray can shoot further(u dont have the tech upgrade yet, +3/+1range). So you will face heavy loses and alot of resource just making goliath, my suggestion would be ignore goliath, just mass produce marines and heavy marines plus some medic, upgrade weapon/armor as usual, 1 void ray cant kill a single marine if your medic doing their job correctly(i think i had the medic upgrade which makes them more effective at healing and also marine+10hp).

you dont have to rush in this mission, need not to capture any terrazzine mine at beginning, just focus on defending all mine, and destroy their center base. push them all back to their main base, make 2nd army, guard both of their main base exit, keep some distance, they will keep replacing guards if u kill them, so its no ending killing. some probes will try to sneak pass your defense when you fighting with its escorts, so either manually kill them off b4 they run too far, or just put 1 marine at each mine. then its harvest time, send out scv to mine terrazine, you dont need to guard your scv, just make sure nothing get pass your defense.

no need to kill all turrets, i got that achievement and i'm pretty sure i left one turret alive at the 1st map.

@narf thanks, finally able to get it. didn't totally ignore goliaths, but massed marauder/medic/marine this time. marauder/medic lasts damn long, previous tries i was goliath only and those die like flies to voids & stalkers.

@fries hehe the helions worked! those far-far away ones i just sent 4 helions to suicide on the probe. the most annoying part is that when the 'toss have a mass of units around, it's hard to right click on the small probe ...

I went to the hatcheries south-west personally, not so defended.

There are 3 there, I killed them (do not kill all the drones), moved back a bit, waited 30 seconds and move back in, they are rebuilding one hatchery, destroyed it when it was still under construction and got achievement.

It took me 3-4 tries to get my timing and economy start setup but it's not impossible smile.gif
If you doing it for achievement, screw the initial base and bring all your troops with you.

this was the most helpful tip.

i could finish the 3 on the left but the 4th on on the right is damn tough.

biggrin.gif with this, i just finished off it easily.

no that is not, i able to destroy all, try again, when the game start, add more scv with harvesting, withdraw and sell of your outer bunkers, just defend on higher ground, , create another bunker there.

Got benefits at higher ground, only 1 entrance and they cant attack until they see you. so defending wise will be alot easier, mass produce marines and supply depots, you should know that by pressing the shift key u can order scv to queue building, set hot keys(ie ctrl-9) on all barracks, always remember to watch your unit count and keep supply depots up. use hot keys to train marines. also upgrades for marines are very important, even its only level 1.

after rescue 2nd batch of soldiers, you should have enough fire power to start attack them, start with top left base, keep making marines with hot key, dont spend too much time on your base, micro management is very important. when only front few marines capable to shooting at target and blocked others, move them all in front b4 start shooting, might lose some marines but save you alot of time.

Do not think you have 20 mins, the last few mins cant count cause there are plenty of zerg ejecting out, if you just want to achieve 4 hatcheries, just do top left and the left 1, top right 1 is much harder, 2 hatcheries each side.
what i did was i didn't bother rescuing the other 2 stranded marines.

i just build up. 4 bunkers on each entrance. spam 4 barracks. if possible, get them to do simultaneous production.

spam kau kau.

at around 5 - 7 minutes timer left, you should have sufficient marines and a few medics to bring along.

the key point is the attack. charge into the base, then run out immediately. this will draw the forces out, keeping you away from those pesky tentacles. then go back in, finish tentacles one at a time.

keep in mind to use HOLD button when possible, to avoid straying units.

Aces high is VERY VERY difficult, i did it with hours of restarting/saving/loading, so im not qualify to give any tips.

Blaze of Glory in normal is easy, i killed ~3k, at beginning, add more harvesters, you need alot more cash, gas will be ok, move your observers at each entrance a bit closer, so they dont get killed so fast =P, upgrade your ground weapon for land units is the highest priority, follow by air weapon, armor/shield only when u have plenty cash around. Add 1 or 2 more robotic bays, you will be needing alot of immortals and some colossus, do not waste money on melee units, inclusive of invisible units, they will die very fast in middle game.

Group your army, do not split them into smaller group, you will need all of them, exclude those phoenix, phoenix in different group, they cant attack ground units, use them mainly on brood lords. Build cannons on cliff, not at lower ground of the entrance, maybe make some pylons at the cliff entrance, to slow them down on destroying cannons.

Move your force to which ever entrance they attack, do not make too much building at the center, you need to move fast between entrance, your colossus will be extreme good against ground unit zerg, and your immortal will be good against larger ground units, and immortal shield is very good at taking damage from those hybrids. When you cleared whichever entrance, move your force back to center. So it will be very easy to reach any entrance and defend. Keep an eye on brood lords, they can destroy all your cannons if you do not pay attention. your phoenix's main and only job, they only comes from north and east, learn when they will come, and kill them off ASAP.

Soon some carriers and void ray will join you, combine with your large force, keep building immortal, save your game now, start making cannons in your main base mainly for nydus worms, your cannons SUPPOSE to kill the worm b4 it start unloading units, killing these units from the worms doesnt count into your total kills, so no point killing them, so kill the worm quick. You can load game and reposition your cannon, those worms suppose to die ASAP, moving your main fleet into your base isnt a good idea, you can lose all cannons on the cliff.

Later in the game more units will join you, inclusive a mothership. its good to move the mothership and keep some of your cannon cloaked. The mother ship cant do much damage anyway, you can use its skill vertex. keep making cannons on cliff, try not to block your probe with cannons, there will be fliers rushing in while your main fleet cant deal with them(maybe your carriers can, but try let cannons handle them). By this time you should already meet the requirement of 2250 kills, just leave your pc on and walk away when you feel there is no hope, they will keep coming, you cant finish them all. Good luck.

@ray just to add on for the 750 kills, what you do is that use your phoenixes to graviton beam the hybrids when they come in mass. this lets your colossus/etc pick off the weaker units first before engaging the hybrids.

and then once you finish off the protect that building for 20 minutes (or whatever) objective, you can pull back to the higher ground which is much easier to defend.

no idea, but usually you need to have 2 gateways, 1 gateway up, start creating 1 zealot, then make another gateway, then can do 2 zealots at the same time. use easy for mission like that. if you unable to achieve, make sure you read the graph, its important to know what you had at what time, and you can save the mission as replay, then watch and clock your time, then try again.

done this, i able to clear off their entire base in normal =P, basically this map got a catch, they give you new tech goliath, if you keep building them, will make your mission very difficult, especially in hard, cause your goliath is no way able to do as much damage as their void ray and void ray can shoot further(u dont have the tech upgrade yet, +3/+1range). So you will face heavy loses and alot of resource just making goliath, my suggestion would be ignore goliath, just mass produce marines and heavy marines plus some medic, upgrade weapon/armor as usual, 1 void ray cant kill a single marine if your medic doing their job correctly(i think i had the medic upgrade which makes them more effective at healing and also marine+10hp).

you dont have to rush in this mission, need not to capture any terrazzine mine at beginning, just focus on defending all mine, and destroy their center base. push them all back to their main base, make 2nd army, guard both of their main base exit, keep some distance, they will keep replacing guards if u kill them, so its no ending killing. some probes will try to sneak pass your defense when you fighting with its escorts, so either manually kill them off b4 they run too far, or just put 1 marine at each mine. then its harvest time, send out scv to mine terrazine, you dont need to guard your scv, just make sure nothing get pass your defense.

there is an area where there are pack of zombies standing all together, youtube search will find that. then lure them to an long straight area, do not shoot, let them ALL pack together, or even let them attack you, when the time is right, take the shoot.

I restarted the campaign for few times though =) The only way to get that miserable achievement is to congregate as many zombies as possible within that choke point, let Raynor become your focus point and leaves all unnecessary heroes behind except that medic and take the shot when the time comes =) Although there is a simpler medic trick which can make this achievement unbelievable easy

that is a good 1but seriously u dont need that far, at the location where u trigger those zombies moving is good enough, stand there and wait them come, and they will eventually all traffic jam, move to a position and then take the shot will do. just save and load if failed.

done quite a number of the HARD MODE achievements.

i find it's easier to do them when you have most of your upgrades done, eg like you're reaching towards the end of your campaign or when it's already over.

nevertheless i accomplished a number of the hard mode achievements during my 1st time playing campaign (played hard mode) or in my 2nd round of playing where i didn't upgrade anything cos saving credits to do other achievements. tongue.gif

it was do-able because already played the mission and more familiar with the units, plus the warm up time already over. so even without the upgrades, things are still going better.

Hi guys,
Just got hard achievements for:-
1. Media Blitz - Complete the mission <20 mins
2. Maw of the Void - Complete the mission without losing a unit inside the Rip Field.

Getting the Media Blitz hard achievement need practice on micro-ing the Odin and Thor. Barely made it. I complete it in 18mins 20s
Anyone complete it at a much faster time?

hahaha i already found out this map, guessed this is the only map we can use since this is the only map that all AI bases is close enough to each other, what i was worrying is their scv able to get outta the area and expand, but it seems they wont, or even will not tech and go siege tank.

its very important which map do you choose, you shouldnt use a map that the 2 AI spread too far, and you should reach their base soon enough, plus ... dont let them use protoss, they can really take alot of hit plus they can rush out immortals which can easily take out your cannons.

i noticed after u drop a cannon, the marine will attack that cannon, but then drop a pylon closer to them, they will attack the pylon, then u drop another cannon nearer again where they will attack this nearer cannon, then the 1st cannon completed, they move away after die trying to kill it, then i continue to drop pylon and cannon. within few drops, im attacking their scv mining operation d, fastest 1v1 insane like 4 mins, fastest 2v2 insane 5min17sec =P

ehh, i can wipe off 1st Insane AI but the 2nd one usually have units that overwhelm my cannons. i have no chance to view flix replay yet.

my fastest 1 v 1 insane was a little less than 3min 15 seconds or something. biggrin.gif i think my problem on 1 vs 2 is the expansion. still figuring out.

dont know, seems like nobody having that problem, maybe you can try again since its normal only, should be quite easy to retry, this time run faster, move your base far b4 the fire reach, make sure you checked every thing, maybe a scv was behind collecting gas while u selecting everything to move. check again when the fire is about to reach, make sure no building rally point is pointing into the fire =P

Dominion Roundup - Rescue 10 Drop-Pods of Dominion Troops in the "Gates of Hell" mission on Hard difficulty.

Was having one hell of a time getting it until I read that you don't have to keep them alive, so just dropping a MULE on one counts as a 'rescue' (even though they die to the zerg).

Well just completed "The Best Defense" achievement. Some simple guides for sharing.

1) Train 14 - 16 SCVs, with one refinery built and 2 SCVs harvesting gas (Needed to train Medics).

2) After setting up some basic defense (2 additional bunkers), focus on building 2 additional barracks as well as lots of supply depots (Around 107 supplies).

3) Only upgrade one of the barracks with attached tech lab, while the other three with Reactor.

4) Continue with the Marines and Medics production until the total number reached the 107 supply depot limit. This should take around 11 mins.

5) Move almost all the units all the way to the top left. When encounter with Zerg defense and creeps, just tap button "A" continuously on the ground in front of the troops. This will automatically instruct all the Marines to attack threat nearest accessible to them, instead of just stuck behind doing nothing if you right click on certain building.

6) After reaching top left, continue tapping "A" button on the ground slightly in front of the troops. This will clear all the enemy units as well as defense structures. After those have been cleared then only focus on killing the 2 hatcheries.

7) Move all the units to the space slightly below the Zerg hatcheries base. And wait for 1 min. Zerg will start building new hatchery now. And this is where the funny thing come. You don't have to wait for the hatchery to fully built. You can just attack it once it starts constructing. This will take you like 3 secs to kill it off.

8) Repeat the same thing and kill off the 4th hatchery, Ta-Da! Gain "The Best Defense" easily!

@fries need to micro a bit. send battlecruisers in, leave science vessels/scv's at the edge of the ripfield area. if your bc's run into resistance, micro the yellow/orange ones back to the healer area (guarded by dark templar).

also, just need to note that dark templar only immune to ripfield when they have shields up. once their shelds are down they can also die to ripfield.

For that, I made sure before I send units into the field, I save first. Dont put SVCs around or else they'll rush in to repair and die. If I lose a cruiser I load. Very annoying lol.

Yesterday just unlocked everything, then I was like why is this not 100% yet, its at 96%. Check check check... OMG LOST VIKING!!! Gave up. Melee here I come sad.gif

speed too? is that the one hitting 4 cores wan ah? in shatter the sky mission? i did mine in 28. still 3 minutes short. biggrin.gif

1 shot fifty kills is quite easy, i got it in a few tries. that mission has 3 parts. just pass the 1st part, then reach 2nd part is where you can get it done. just need to mass up the zombies.

infested marine will shoot you from far. so you go right up in front of them. then shoot! but try not to shoot straight. i think shoot slightly downwards (angled) would cover more units, that's how i got the kills.

yeah, that's the plan. unfortunately there's no timer in game, so i termissed by so much. i also got 3 starport but mistake would be (i think) i waiting too many banshees.

my earlier attempt was 29 mins. biggrin.gif 2nd time i aim for some expansion.

goldfries & alexwlh: Thanks for the suggestion dude! But I got a different approach with the "Speed Too!" achievement. All i did is spam marines, marines and more marines. At the same time, spam vikings to deal with those pesky mutas and broodlords.

I managed to complete the achievement around 23mins. The "One shot kills 50" is really easy as what goldfries have mentioned earlier.

Now i am struggling to get the achievement for the last mission. Any tips on how to hold the fort? tongue.gif

watch the video on All in - Brutal - no Nova in youtube, very very impressive, basically you need speed of controlling everything, kill every single nydus worms(choose the air mission) very fast b4 they eject anything dangerous, and make flame tower everywhere near nova to lure queen to cast spell there instead of your tanks =). saw that video and seriously you can use that in hard without a problem(ppl did it in brutal, so hard should be easier, and even so you can use the nova once to get the achievement).

"speed too" is quite easy with ghosts, i did with all ghost with their upgrades(perma hidden and no need energy +2 range and +3 spot). also you need scanner, scan the base b4 you go in, so if there are ultra/brood lords, you need to be very careful about them(only them are dangerous). With enough ghost nothing else(beside those 2) able to damage your ghost, when ultra comes, either kill it fast or kill the detector fast, press r and click on the bull fast and repeat, 45 damage per snipe and with normal attack, it should be dead b4 reaching your ghost, and for brood lords, you must snipe them fast, they have heavy armor but snipe ignore armor, few shots can kill 1, with good timing/scan/snipe/enough ghosts/avoid the boss, you can take all bases out without losing a ghost.

Even with spamming Nova, my brutal All In was won with 0 base and 0 units with the artifact having about 40% HP left with Kerrigan and the entire zerg force attacking it lol. Without Nova on Brutal must be something.

Ever tried the one without Nydus? Gosh those Muta and Broodlords + massive ground attacks, that is a nightmare. I'm more interested to see how people defeat this on brutal.

i tried out both, my not-so-expert skill also can mange to reach 98.9% on ALL IN in Hard Mode vs Nydus.

I tried the one against air units, till now i haven't the chance to reach even 80%. Either that or I'm not trying hard enough. tongue.gif

ahh well. will try again some other time.

Did you wall up your base? I found out that sealing your base fully is not the best method. I tried leaving just a small space for them to rush in, so instead of hitting my Depots they try to rush in and die. About 4-6 Tanks, 1 initial Bunker loaded with Marines, 3 Thors and about maybe 5 Marauders with 3 Medics in each entrance will do. 2 groups of Banshees (At least 6 per group to be effective), 1 group supporting north and another south. These 2 groups will need to go out the moment those Nydus pops up. Kill the ones inside your base first before venturing out. With 2 groups killing the Nydus seperately, they should drop before much stronger units comes out.

Don't use your Banshees to attack Kerrigan without stun, it is too costly. Use your Thors to stun her, then Banshees fly in. 3 Thors per entrance you should be able to keep her stun locked for the whole duration. I din't know where to even find the build button for the fire turrets so I don't know their effectiveness, but seeing there are so many Zerglings I think it will be a very good support turret. Hope this helps.

i did ALL IN brutal and ALL IN hard(no nova) without killing any nydus at all. just gotta make a shitload of tanks and spam the slow towers around the chokes. didn't bother with bunkers, in fact i salvaged the first 4 bunkers to get some cash lol. have like 50 marines on standby and i only use them for kerrigan, stm and charge her when you see an opening before preferable b4 she's too close to your tanks. if you don't have slow towers then you might have to go around killing the nydus.

lol just got my "Speed Too!" archievement. I different approach...just use about 8-10 bashee and 10 vikings. Play the smart way..find the loophole where most less defense and slowly move in with bashee invi and viking helping to hit those detector n mutalisk while bashee take care of ground ..complete the mission in 20min times. left 3more hard mission to go >.<

Supernova is kinda easy IMO, just produce lots of Banshees and cloaked in and kill. Yeah the All In is insane, only allow to use the Artifact once. I wonder which mission shall we choose prior to that to have an easier final mission. Shall we eliminate threat of Zerg Air Unit or those Nydus Worms?

Not So Brutalisk
Kill the Brutalisk in the “Piercing the Shroud” mission without losing a unit to the Brutalisk on Normal difficulty.

Lock and Load
Locate all 13 weapon pickups in the “Piercing the Shroud” mission on Hard difficulty.

These are the only two of the 'regular' achievements I'm missing (not including the brutal, and 8-hour normal campaign). Dunno why I keep losing a marine to the brutalisk. Even when I put raynor waaaaay in front, the brutalisk will still take a detour to swipe at a marine halfway and one hit kill him =_=;;

Then lock and load ... the first part is easy peasy but the second part wah ... panic lol when the hybrid is chasing ...

i solo the brutalisk with jimmy. just run around and use the railgun on it. takes like 5 rounds i think and stop only to shoot. if you get low there is a health pack in the room. i also read u can use the robot you control earlier to kill it...not sure how is that done.

yes. solo the brutalisk with jimmy. jimmy has 500 health. run. gun. grenade if you manage. basically each time jimmy stops, the brutalisk should not hit him more than once.

by the time he's done, he should be barely alive. tongue.gif yes. leave him alone. marines and medic can go back to some secluded place. you can bring medic along but I'd rather not risk it.

my placement on green is that Jimmy is at a safe distance from brutalisk's 11 o'clock or so. after release, just run around towards the other end of the lab.

First time i play in i take out nydus worms and flying unit were fine as in normal but in hard is disaster specially on broodlord. Now i restart campaign n take out zerg air unit. Gona try to see the ground forces of zerg but i think is easier to take care off. I duno..will check it out tonight once im back from outside =)

Yes air unit is easy for normal, but when i try brutal then it was crazy, they come from all direction and hardly defend (i use the cloaked ghost keep sniper broodlord like how people do in youtube but i barely survive until last wave at 99.7% recharge and overrun by them) So i restart and take out air unit and try again, using siege tank defend + banshee kill nydus worm and manage to win in 1 try. rclxms.gif Finally completed all brutal..

I found 2 brutal mission is super insane for me where i so frustrated retrying:
1) Engine Of Destruction - So hard to protect stupid Odin drove by damn Tycus, can you just wait a while before you continue push? I hope i can use my SVC to stop you moving, hmm maybe you guy can try build building block him from moving to enemy base?
2) All In - Crazy Kerrigan + Air Unit

i try that in hard mode also susah liao. well. maybe my lousy choice of technology upgrade on my 1st campaign run (playing hard mode. cacat. many things fail to achieve. choose some less useful upgrades also)

lucky i got BC for that mission, i simply go BC and destroy any big threats b4 he moves in, and scv repairing it while it attacking isnt a good idea, always being destroyed, so i had science vessels following and repairing it, only use scv when it stopped moving. I think banshee should do the trick too, you dont have to destroy everything b4 it, just destroy those who able to damage it hard, like siege tanks, and maybe some factories/barracks that non-stop producing, siege tanks are too slow, and ya you need to worry about enemy BC, as the Odin takes too long to destroy it while others are attacking odin.

Agreed. One of the hardest achievements. That stupid Tychus deserved his death at the end of the campaign.

Will need to have Science Vessel research prior to this mission. I used 4 Science Vessels + 7 SCVs to keep Odin above 30% all the time.

BTW, nice idea of building structures around him to prevent him from moving. Definitely going to try this later!

oh. why need so many la? smile.gif i only have 3 SCV i think. can't remember got science vessel. one thing for sure i got quite some siege tanks and marines accompanying it. and also vikings and banshees.

when he's resting, you can put your other units in front, or at least you save game when he's resting.

from my experience, the toughest part is the 2nd last part where all the starport is. i lost a lot of units there. the final push not that bad la, spam marine and a few siege tank. got a few BC there.

i done that hard mode challenge without any BC.

huh? are you all talking at the tychus who are wearing Thor shirt called Odin mission?

I have totally no problem in achieving the 30% life achievement..just use ur scv to follow and repair him all the time..at this mission i sent 3 scvs follow behind and then I focus on banshee + vikings to win the game..

remember put 2 siege tank + few missele turret at base to prevent enemy can d....then focus build air plane and call down ur mechanary units...

Looking at this, you already have Banshees & BC before attending this mission. Guess I should do the same, have all other missions completed & get Banshees, BC etc. ready so that I can have more firepower.

You attended this mission last prior to flying to Char?

ehh no leh i don't use BC. biggrin.gif see, even Ray also use same way.

remember that Banshee has damn nice DPS, good for clearing siege tanks and such. and you can cloak too! after all sensors removed, it's all free whacking.

clear off the siege tanks cos they do damage most to your Thor and also the SCV around it. have about 4 - 5 vikings around is good.

Oh ok thanks for all the tips. Going to try those out.

Yeah who needs little Wraiths while you can have Banshees? They're definitely among the most useful Terran weapons. Even better when coupling with Vikings. (Plus they are piloted by hot chicks).

i think i recall reading somewhere that only one science vessel can repair one unit at any time, so even if you bring 5 vessels your healing output to odin isn't high.

on the other hand you could theoretically spam scv's and they would all repair him at once.

also, odin has killer ground attack but (relatively) weak air attack.

SCV sometimes a bit stupid la. after repairing Odin also they run go repair other things. tongue.gif into line of fire.

SV on the other hand, it less at risk cos it's in the air and bring a few so it also heals your other units.......... including SCV.

I find the Science Vessel's rate of repair is quite decent.

Also considering that it's air unit where you can repair everywhere.

me got 3

SV doesnt repair, it heals, so it require energy, scv repair need resource, repair is faster, but if you use repair in the middle of a fight, very high chance they are dead b4 u can pull them back. few SV cause 1 SV cant non-stop healing, they need to regen their energy, so few of them will ensure there are enough energy plus, they also healing each other incase something attack them(quite rare cause most units cant attack air). i only use scv repair when it stopped attacking.

Well said. Both SV and SCV have pros and cons. I only start repairing Odin using SCVs at the second last base which has lots of Air Units. At other points SVs should be sufficient. I'm only playing Hard Mode though.

i won 2/5 and went into bronze. i sux at multiplayer, haha, even in bronze i only got a 50/50 win ratio.

btw just won the All In using Hard Mode. with proper upgrades and such, not as hard as it was. Last time I had problem on Hard Mode was because

1. a few not so useful tech i took
2. didn't play zeratul missions, missed out some tech. tongue.gif

now i play again but with Nydus, suddenly it's not so difficult. barely lose anything with only just about 5 siege tanks a side. biggrin.gif


Added on August 28, 2010, 3:15 amoh btw, didn't complete the Hard Mode achievement yet but completed that "Hurry Up: It’s Raid Night" and "Out for Justice" achievements. 10 more points to 2k mark.

what units you can use ? the media blitz isnt that difficult. b4 the timer start(when u are using a giant thor), target some important structures in the entire map, and what is important ? these are depends on you what strategy you want to use, if you dont want to see goliath(u use BC), clear off all factories, if you dont wanna see air units, clear off the top left base. that give you a huge benefit. and when capturing towers, i noticed those "security team" arrived by using transports, either learn their pattern and make some turrets/put some anti air, kill them b4 they land or maybe you can capture by using a hidden unit(ghost, but i havent try b4). Mass units also work but that you need alot of time producing units, you need time, so be efficient.

@ narf03

1 question, when you upload data to the tower, you did it simultaneously or 1 by 1 ? Coz if we were to do it 1 by 1, I doubt I could finish it in hard mode before 20 minutes ~ rclxub.gif

i got 2 teams, the giant thor can be on its own, it goes to the right, another team take the air base on top left, then join force back to center base.

the giant thor can move right away after the timer start while you making another team, just make sure its repaired, being some scv with it, turn off the auto repair, cause if they attempt to repair when its attacking, very high chance they will be killed, manual repair better. i think i did it in like 15-16mins. i didnt do the secret mission objective along within the 20 mins, so i redo the mission which take longer. i think u can do it along with the 20 mins, just make another small team, few marines will do, nothing there to attack you.

Okay, thanks a lot for the tip ~ Will try it out thumbup.gif

Update: Once again, thanks narf03 for yur advice ~ I manage to complete it in 19 minutes ~ thumbup.gif

I notice that by conducting a simultaneous attack on 2 different spot at the same time is the key here . . . hmm.gif

wah you guys attack both places at once? smile.gif i attack 1 by 1 also can make it la.

a lot of people make the mistake by whacking everything until the Odin is KO. that's not the way.

what I did was Odin carefully hit banshee and other production structure on the top base. then the base right beneath it. Keep odin alive.

once the ambush is over, pair the Odin with Thor, throw along 3 - 4 SCV and you can go the upper base already. during this time, build some marine and siege tanks.

call in some viking support, 5 will do. the base at the bottom will have battlecruiser coming.

so ok finish the 1st base on the top. use Thor to sit there and Odin to hit everything else.

Now meet with your next squad at the bottom base. before go up the ramp, you can have siege tanks in siege mode. most up slowly and clear off most things, and place siege tanks before starting the upload.

incoming shouldn't be too tough.

after done, just move all your forces to the top. clear them with siege tank and thor bombardment. after that, it's all good. 100% is done quite fast also. biggrin.gif

I tried by doing 1 by 1, but always end up 22 - 25 minutes ~ sad.gif

After doing some google + gettting help here, I find most of them all do simultaneous attack ..

With this tactic, I tried but my 1st simultaneous attack failed coz I'm not good at managing multiple events at the same time ~

Only success on my 2nd attempt ~ blush.gif

i did it one by one too. i think i destroyed 1.5 bases with odin, so there wasn't much resistance after that.

anyway raid night achieve get! re-playing all the missions on normal was soooooooooo easy. and kinda boring, lol.

So the 8 hours is they just count the total of hours played for all your normal campaign ? blink.gif

Btw, anyone done the achievement for completing 5 hard mission ? I don't quite understand on how this achievement works, coz I played 1 round of campaign on normal mode, and then now I access the archive to do the hard mode, but it seems that for each hard mission I complete, there is no update for the achievement ~ rclxub.gif

Wings of Liberty: Hard 5 <=--- should be this one, right?

you can see my completion is 4 out of 5. 5th one needs 25 missions to be done, which I already done that but i also donno why it doesn't count.

If you scroll down my achievements,

Liberty Completionist: Hard (Complete all 29 Wings of Liberty campaign missions on Hard difficulty.) I'm already 28/29. sad.gif

so with what you brought up, i feel like i kena short-changed. tongue.gif 28 mission on HARD and the fella don't give me 25 mission reward. sad.gif

Huh? 5th one is for 25 missions ? I don't think so, simply because there was once where I start off my game on hard mode, and I only manage to do the 1st 2 campaign, ended up with my achievement for this as 2/5 ~

In addition, apart from ?/5, there is an accumulated for the next 5, and so on ~

Then, after I switch back to normal mode, it seems that this achievement doesn't update anymore for archive, I think for this achievement to work, I have to do in campaign mode and not in archive ~

I got all the hard achievement, with lacking the "lost viking achievement and also brutal achievement" =.=.

For the Ambush mission, I used Odin to whack the tank base, clear all of them to make sure no more army and factory inside.means that after ambush, they will be 1 empty base for me to straight access the tower.

After the ambush, I used Odin alone to whack the right base and straight access the tower, but after all the flying units came b..i control my Odin back to my base in which my base has many upgraded Anti-air missele turret..lol...killed all of them in secs.

Straight sent it to left with some goliath, it will not be a problem for goliath to kill all of the flying unit in left base. After access it, straight go to the tank base to access, save many time more due to it is an empty base.

I manage to complete it in 16 mins mark.

@braska: most foolproof way is to just restart normal campaign. it's actually pretty fast, what you do is skip as many missions as possible, and for those of us who played hard/higher it's super easy. i followed this guide from teamliquid forums, only takes like 4-5 hours.

QUOTE
I would do the first three Zeratul missions asap because they are all really fast, and then ditch the fourth one because In Utter Darkness takes ages.

I would skip Tosh all together. None of the three units you get for his mission line are any good and the first two missions take quite a while to do as well.

Something like this seems like it'd be fast. Giving some aproximate times based on how fast I did these on my hard play through and on brutal if my brutal time was better which was mostly the case since I knew what I was doing on brutal. Rounded some of the times down a little cause I know they get dramatically easier on normal:

Liberation Day (5m) -> The Outlaws (5m) -> Zero Hour (20m) -> Smash & Grab (10m) -> 40m total aproximately

-> Evacuation (20m) -> Outbreak (25m) -> Train Robbery (20m) -> Safe Haven (10m) -> The Dig (takes ages, on hard and brutal, dunno if it's much shorter on normal because I guess there are a lot less things to shoot with your laser beam, call it 35m but maybe a lot shorter). -> 115m total

-> Whispers of Doom (20m) -> A Sinister Turn (20m maybe a lot less on normal) -> Echoes of the Future (5m) -> The Mobius Factor (10m) -> 170m total

Cutthroat (20m) -> Supernova (20m) -> Maw of the Void (30m) -> 240m total. That's 4 hours to get to Char.


[edit] wewt got my lock and load achieve, so that completes all my 'story mode' achievements. 92%! others remaining are the lost viking and the brutal mode achieves ... those ... do later lah ha ha.

I chose to neutralize the nydus before the All-in mission..so I am pretty handy in the hard mode game.

Just build a lot of BC and viking, while with your upgrade Anti-air turret, no problem to def at all, just having prob when Kerrigan came and simply destroy my BC in 1 hit..once she came, I lost at least 4-5 BC..damn

ur playing all in hard? (super hard if nydus gone loolololol) then need at least ~20 BC. have ALL OF THEM YAMATO KERRIGAN. you will lose 1-3 while ur cannons are charging. you can prolly get some marines to bait before charge so you can prolly save the cruisers.

the objective is to kill kerrigan within ONE yamato. (from all of the BC)

so I can gain all achievement w/o replaying..tongue.gif

no need yamato ler, Just keep 10 tanks each side, with a "slow zerg" building nearby, kerrigan will just die with 2 BC or 3-4 tanks nia..biggrin.gif

and at the last I lifted all my buildings surrounding the nova and my tank just bombard ground armies while my vikings + BC own the air..no problem to def...hehe

yeah, having problems with Kerrigan 1 hitting the BC's

i did bait her to aim for the structures 1st(which worked, before yamato spam), tweaking the positions of every unit a little.

problems are the spams of zergs, !@#$%^&*

didnt try to spam much banshee's, coz i was spamming my starports for BC's

i must have left out something, i did try the Siege tank spam option, b**** kerrigan seems to have some kinda one shot shit on em

i reckon it was my Nova timing

you can see my completion is 4 out of 5. 5th one needs 25 missions to be done, which I already done that but i also donno why it doesn't count.

so with what you brought up, i feel like i kena short-changed. tongue.gif 28 mission on HARD and the fella don't give me 25 mission reward. sad.gif
*
i know why, cause the hard5/10/15,brutal5/10/15 etc ONLY count in a single campaign. if you restart the campaign, it start counting again. so why its so ? it prevent you from choosing the easier route by restarting the campaign and get better tech then only do the mission in brutal/hard.

For example:
missions: A B [C D E] F G

A and B are starting of the campaign, u cant choose, F and G are Char and after also u cant choose, so mission C D and E are missions that you can pick to do which 1 first or later. So you must pick the correct order C D E, or E D C, or D E C or what ever order, but u cant restart the campaign, so u cant do like easyC easyD brutalE, then restart easyE easyD brutalC. doing like that give you a massive tech advantage, so both of them only get brutal(1), if you wanna get 3, you need to do all of them in a single campaign in the whatever difficulty u need. but i think for A B and F G, restarting campaign doesnt reset them.
ps. u can use 1 of the console in bridge to replay a mission, just use that and get 25 mission done in brutal/hard.

terrazine one was actually harder, cuz i had to deal with everything with ONLY marines and medics (no, goliaths suck)

no siege tanks, no drills, and they got templars everywhere camping choke point :/
had to bait storms in and out and once they outta energy just rush in stim pack 200/200 food marine/medic orgy lol

yes, i got my "you're so crazy" on hard, not normal cuz i had to get the other hard achievement too. so did both at the same time.

you replay missions that give you protoss/zerg research, then sell them for 10k credits each.

Go to "Bridge" at the bottom of the screen. Then behind there got one further starboard which is monitored by one Operator. Click that for mission archives.

do note: if you're already on char and no longer on the hyperion, too bad need to restart if you want to change all in from air to nydus for example, or getting piercing the shroud (secret mission) unlocked

lol...i have finished all hard-mode missions..and now i plan to replay the brutal mode.

But i found that it is really tedious without a story line rather than just selecting which mission to play. And also, I have few more upgrades havent finish though i have gain all the achievements (save/load ftw).

By what the westley tell me, that only work if I didnt finish the campaign, cause I cant go back to the bridge again right now unless I load my game.

@Raylee: Ei hold on, I think I misunderstood your question. You will NOT be able to gain more credits or upgrade your units from the mission archives. The mission archives only enable you to earn those unearned achievements, but will not bring you more credits.

i got siege tanks b4 i started this mission, so its quite easy for me, when the comp alerts me a train is coming, i just move all those siege tanks in a good position where the train need to do some curve, then have some other tanks chasing the train while siege tanks kill all the guards at safe distance, just need to worry about air, they have banshees!!

Train Robbery one was quite alright, i restarted only once. reloaded only a few times.

Whack 1 of the kill teams also. tongue.gif (put marines in front) but i deliberately missed a train or 2 cos no point. use that time to build up. as long as i hit the last train it's all good, that also when last train most of my units wiped out.

I thought can only miss 1 train? Aiyo... I thought missing 2 would make me lose the game so I kept reloading... cry.gif
I had a lot of reloads as one of the trains ran really close to the kill team, had to keep trying to find the best position to not lose my diamondbacks. tongue.gif
Think my army practically pwned the last train since I avoided the kill teams.

Campaign and AI is more of playing them a lot. After a lot of games, you notice a pattern that you can exploit.
It's like fighting games. Even at the highest level setting, you will soon find a way that you can keep beating the computer. tongue.gif

If you're better at taking on humans, it means that you're better at using strategy than just blind grinding I guess.
I'm a grinder type so you'll probably see my losses go over my wins soon. sweat.gif

hmm i find it the other way around. playing too much campaign makes it hard for me to adapt properly to beat humans. cos campaign you know exactly what the computer is going to do, where his units are, etc etc. example zeratul's first mission, in brutal it's actually also damn easy cos already know what units coming up, what to do, etc etc.

yes that is right, and when you know their style of playing, you can predict what they are going to do next, and sometimes, even a very hard AI is so dumb, ie my base only have roaches, and they comes attack with plenty of zealots, stalkers and 2 void rays, i cant attack void rays, so i killed all other land units, guess what ? those void rays turn tail and run away while i cant do anything on them. its in their code they will flee when they see they have much lesser troops, didnt noticed that i cant do anything about it if they stay and kill all my roaches..

internet was being a b**** so took a few hours to finish off the challenge modes. was actually quite fun, although I 'cheated' quite a bit by viewing youtube videos biggrin.gif

that also puts me above 2k points! which is proof that skill doesn't correspond to gamer score because I am a total n00b as evidenced by barely surviving in bronze league.

Something weird happened to me actually.
The Brutal game achievement, it is suppose to be at 1/15 for me.

When I did Haven's Fall through the mission archives, I continued the campaign after finishing it actually so it jumps straight to the mission archives screen, I suddenly got all the achievements for playing 10 games at hard and brutal. I was actually slowly playing the Brutal modes one by one from the start so this struck me as something i can take advantage of if it works. Haha.

What if I just do all the Brutal games, then only I do one of those maps that I did not do in my campaign like for example the Belly of the Beast since I did the Air one in campaign. Think it will probably trigger the 25 games for Brutal and Hard achievement.

Here's some tips in completing further missions.

You will need to max out both your Zerg and Protoss research.
Once you've done that, go back into the mission archieves and play "Smash and Grab" in casual mode. This way you'll get the research points turned into cash via research console. You can max out your upgrades before your next mission. Best time to do this is prior to char. Battlecruisers with Matrix are sedap.

This is a bug abuse, so if you want to legitimately win this campaign in brutal, you might want to get thors on immortality and stun her with the cannons.

Upgrade as best you can. Do note that all prior mission upgrades follow what you selected earlier in the campaign, so if you didnt upgrade prior to that mission, you wont get the upgrade when you replay it.

This would be, the easiest way to get brutal since smash and grab in casual mode can be completed in 4-5 minutes with a cash reward of 250,000 credits from the research panel.

haha, i'm yet to start on brutal.

I've got a couple of missions only.

it helps to have all mercs in the mission "All In" together with a couple of battlecruisers + science vessels for free repairs. I still find going against air much easier than going against the canals, since vikings are super anti air and thors can handle mass mutas.

Yea that happens to me as well.
You can later go back to one of the games in your mission archives that you will miss due to the branch in the story.
Completing that seems to trigger the achievement.
I'm trying now to finish most of the missions in Brutal until I am pass 25 then do one of it to see if it triggers all of it at once.

this thread is dying lol. got my FFA vs 7 AI (very hard). basically played on Lava Surge map, as terran, at the beginning of the game just lift off and land on one of the islands, will be 90% unmolested while fast tech to mass battlecruisers. i didn't even build a single ground unit lol. then wait for the computers to kill themselves off then attack the last remainder computer.

dunno whether this will work for insane though.

why bother ? just pick another map 4vs4 map that 4 staying very close together and another 4 further away, so u start with 3 AI nearby, cannon/bunker rush them all, then you stop and build while the other 4 fighting each other, once 1 or 2 of them is dead, then you only go there and finish the rest. ya, im talking about insane.

screenshot to follow in a bit.

and boy cannot straight colo/carrier spam, need to spam zealots (f*** cannons, they blow so much) cuz in brutal-
speedlings, speedlings everywhere.

and thats probably why imho, its a ton EASIER to get kill counts in brutal tongue.gif

wahh how you do that? mine at most 1.8k kills.

i try zealot block also fail. colo / immortal spam also susah. so many air units!

this thread is dying lol. got my FFA vs 7 AI (very hard). basically played on Lava Surge map, as terran, at the beginning of the game just lift off and land on one of the islands, will be 90% unmolested while fast tech to mass battlecruisers. i didn't even build a single ground unit lol. then wait for the computers to kill themselves off then attack the last remainder computer.

dunno whether this will work for insane though.
i trying insane. susah leh. the final AI left is the toughy!

QUOTE(narf03 @ Sep 9 2010, 01:59 PM)
why bother ? just pick another map 4vs4 map that 4 staying very close together and another 4 further away, so u start with 3 AI nearby, cannon/bunker rush them all, then you stop and build while the other 4 fighting each other, once 1 or 2 of them is dead, then you only go there and finish the rest. ya, im talking about insane.
ehh, like the map Megaton?

hrmrmr. should give it a try. I usually use Terran and make AI use zerg.

i got a big problem with the economy achievement, which ask you to repair 1000 lifes of an allied unit/ building.

Does it work for friendly fire on my own building? I tried it many times and let my siege tanks keep firing on my own bunker and let 3 scv keep repairing it, keep this for more than half an hour still nothing ... sad.gif

This is my last achievement pending in economy... ...


Added on September 9, 2010, 2:07 pmya that achievement is called 'Just a Scratch'.

what you can do is find a buddy to play vs AI. you do the repair on the structure.

btw 1000 life? not 500? i can't remember but i got it by repairing friends' barracks. can find me i can let you do the repair. tongue.gif other unit good to do repair on is battlecruiser.

basically, insane AI got:

- more minerals and gas at start
(we get 50 minerals and 0 gas)

- build faster
- more hit points
- more damage


??? that is imba haha.

eh btw do we still get the achievements if we slap them with 50% hit points handicap prior to starting the match?

no, wont count if the game isnt fair, ie got handicap, or cheat code. and yes with insane, u also can rush, you just need to start building further away. and if your starting position is very near to them(u got a base nearby), you can directly build near to them, they wont kacao you. they only kacao u if your base is far and you start building near to them, if they dont attack you after you making a forge or a barrack, then you are safe to build anywhere d.

and repair achievement also can get from custom game, create a custom 2vs2 game, and let your ally being attack, u just send your scv and repair them, protect your enemy, not your ally so you can continue repairing =P

it worked, yes they wont build anything near enemy but in a 2vs2 game, and if u dont fend off the enemy, your AI ally wont be able to fend off by itself, so it base will be attacked.

eh 1.8k kills no research woh, id just restart anyways till i get at least 2.5k for the research lol

btw the zealots are used to block entrances. they are there to block zerglings from zerging my colossi LOL. colossi die so DAMN FAST to a SEA of speedlings rofl.
and i had to spam a couple of phoenixes AND have as many of em survive until carriers arrive so they can still continue to gravitron.

basically, i did the same as my previous hard play. the *ONLY* difference = f*** cannons, they suck balls. and SPAM ZEALOTS HARD + phoenix until carriers. basically never EVER let ur minerals or gas go above 400, if it goes above that amount at any point while ur min/gas line are fully saturated, you basically "auto lose"

dont forget upgrades too, i had 3 forge and 2 cybernetics to get my lvl3 upgrades ASAP. 6 warp gates, 4 robotics, 6 stargates for production. spam zealots at any given time when im gas starved and got minerals piling, and just spam colo/carriers (phonixes when carriers arent available yet, and the initial phoenixes given to you is 100% NOT ENOUGH to gravitron the hybrids that SPAMS you when you get past 2.5k+ kills lol)

eh thought only 2k loolol cuz the 2.5k kills got a bracket (Research) LOL

and no, ur phoenix dont whack them also can, so long you gravitron and STOP THEM FROM TEARING YOU A NEW ONE lol. ur void rays will EVENTUALLY charged up and eventually finish them (or carriers once you got them)

air unit is NO PROBLEM at all as ur phoenixes will dispatch them with ease. the only SAD part is, patch dont affect SP (proven ady lol) and THEY CANT SHOOT WHILE MOVE TO LOL KITE MUTALISK doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

having at least 10ish phoenixes will guarantee air dominance and enough of them to gravitron hybrids at any given time. so long you dont let ur phoenix count fall below 10 lol. to be safe, 15++ lol

then the real problem, are those retarded speedling swarm. sure, HTs are good and all, but 1) i cant build many of them to place them EVERYWHERE due to f***ing gas 2) if i cant place em everywhere they will have to walk and they are SLOW AS SHIT

colo/zealot covering them = best situation, never gas starved, never energy starved, never be in shit situation due to shit movement speeds.

no leh. i actually last time also thought RESEARCH only but it's objective + research.

i want that protoss research cos brutal mode i actually didn't manage to collect enough research for protoss line. need only like 3 more for the last upgrade, I like the one combine the lab and whatever together.

for hydras, colossi eat them for breakfast, just becareful of ur phoenixes to be too ahead of themselves without your colo support. remember, your units have to work in unison, forget your outer cannons, just goto the research archives and defend that middle point. HOWEVER. have CANNONS AND ZERATUL to patrol the left/right entrance to ur main base cuz em PESKY speedlings will occasionally sneak in and ravage the hell outta ur base. thats when i press load game ROFL.

and yeah, for hard mode, ONLY colo + carriers straight works. brutal, GOD DAMNIT SPEEDLINGS lol. and got 20+ colo also can die within a matter of seconds, so ugly.

yeah the speedlings clever, like to run up to the upper area. that's where my defences not there. they claw through cannons so easily.

and yeah i think i shouldn't send my air units ahead, which i always do. trying to save them cannons. after playing a while, i just decided this is UNLIKE hard mode where I can spam cannon there and still survive.

If u dont mind a cheesy strategy then try using dts to block instead. smile.gif
Just make sure u kill their overseer before it reach your entrance. Quite easy to finish in brutal cause alot of kills faster than other difficulty. biggrin.gif

Make sure u place them and hold position just outside your bridge. then build like 6 cannons on each entrance... leaving only 1 spot to move on each side so your templar can psi storm them (optional), hehe... colo place them on top as usual... get anti air for mutas and u're set...as long as they dont have overseer, none of them get pass your bridge, heh. Its not that hard just need a bit of practice. And keep pumping out dts to replace the fallen one.

yeah just need anti-overseer only. i tried my best to hunt them but failed. later only realize i can use observer to be warning cos they will gather first. if overseer see observer, then observer will die so observer KO = overseer around.

Yeah. Dont worry, if my memory serve me right, overseer only start coming out after 4th or 5th wave so u can prepare. I done this quite some time now so cant remember much. But i remember the first 2 wave no overseer so u can block with ease. smile.gif Then during mid game 2 overseer will come instead of 1 so prepare.

hmmm i tried that. problem is that i tapau the 3 insane at my area about at the same time as the last remaining insane ai tapau the 3 at the other side. so it's gg after that cos it's a straight on 1-on-1 vs insane which i can't win (i can't even win very hard, loool).

anyway i still used my turtle strategy to win, insane or no insane also can't stand against my 15 battlecruisers, lol. 26mins in-game time at fastest = uh ... 15-20minutes?

yeah, i noticed that big change one of the most. in hard, Odin i could plonk down 2-3 scv's on follow, and they would pretty much die ONLY to siege tank splash. in brutal, gotta keep them back a bit then rush in to hit-and-run repair.

1st base siege tanks, 1 - 2 will do.
2nd base siege tanks 2 - 4 will do. wraith take out BC.
3rd base, banshees kau kau. 5 - 10 sufficient.
4th base make sure already have vikings along.
5th base banshees + vikings kau kau kau kau kau kau kau as much as you can.

wahh i finally finished In Utter Darkness in Brutal with 2.6k kills.

DT only helpful to some extent. After protection work done, no point blockading already. All mass to the middle. Spam DT put near probe is good cos that's where all the zlings are and no detectors there, guarantee.

Artanis comes and use cloak to help other ships stay alive to reach 2.5k. w00t! nightmare la. so many things to juggle, i forgot to upgrade despite building 3 forges. sad.gif load game too many times, missed out!

At the main menu there, go to "Achievements". Then choose Campaign. There's one drop down menu which default is "All". Just change it to "Unearned".

You might need to expand all the achievements to see where you missed out. Single click on each achievement to see the details.

Nah don't have Kerrigan portrait yet, have to clear up the extra missions like safe haven, belly of the beast and others in order to get the portrait :S

Well I'm lazy to play it twice to get the achievements so yeah I went to youtube search for the guide with no nova and that's how I manage to achieve it, just that I don't have the fire sentry research which makes it really hard for me to defend and win like them. That's why you could see the extra minerals that I have there sad.gif

But still I need to play it twice to get the "Burn and Turn" achievement, blahhh.

how to give you some times? i just save game at the some point and keep reloading. biggrin.gif go at an angle, don't ever shoot straight.

oh and chances are that the infested marines will block the infested. so you have to run straight face to face with the marines, and shoot! die also nmind.

be close to the hordes of zombies before you even fire.

and lastly, how many of you want to do melee achievements? we should just play a long game, doesn't matter who win who lose. just take turn creating units to let the other guy do damage or something to get achievements.

at least can try to achieve some.

i was thinking of

Achievements > Combat > Economy
Achievements > Combat > Melee Combat

not sure if

Achievements > Combat > League Combat

will work but if not mistaken I did get some against AI.

---------

my rationale is that say for achievements like

"Destroy 20 units with a single High Templar in a Melee game."

in order to get this one, I actually had a HT stand high up somewhere, and patiently waiting to kill probes with it. sad.gif each lightning 1 or 2 probes only. took quite a while to get it done.

that also I had to practically disable the AI until the fella only keep building probes. biggrin.gif

I also helped some stranger complete "Deplete 10 Rich Mineral Fields in a single Melee game." - the fella told me to STOP whacking the AI so that he could get the minerals. tongue.gif so I obliged. left my game there (went to my other computer) and told him to finish off the AI when he's done. tongue.gif

very rare, when you press the find game button, you will be placed in a list, you wont be getting a game in a second, you will be placed in the list for few seconds, the list should always contains thousands of players looking for a game, then the server will do "match making" for you, it depends on how often you win/lost, if you win many recently, server will assign you a better player, so giving you better chance to lose, and if you continue winning, u will be level up(bronze -> silver), if you lose many in a row, they will give you a low ranked player, cause blizzards will lose business if they allows you to lose 20 games in a row, and if u still able to lose that, congratz, u will be level down =P. So chances of getting a game with a player who click at the same time as you doenst help much.

at least can try to achieve some.

i was thinking of

Achievements > Combat > Economy
Achievements > Combat > Melee Combat

not sure if

Achievements > Combat > League Combat

will work but if not mistaken I did get some against AI.

---------

my rationale is that say for achievements like

"Destroy 20 units with a single High Templar in a Melee game."

in order to get this one, I actually had a HT stand high up somewhere, and patiently waiting to kill probes with it. sad.gif each lightning 1 or 2 probes only. took quite a while to get it done.

that also I had to practically disable the AI until the fella only keep building probes. biggrin.gif

everything else works with AI. league is strictly league. however, i had mule x'ing worked on AI (but i was playing 2vs2 insane AI coop with friend) so i guess some of them work (unintentionally) while the rest doesn't. for example, a roach life, defo doesnt work. i had that on a league game, where we already won the 3v3, and left the 1 guy, 3vs1, so i just bring a roach, goto his photon cannon, keep taking hits, regen, rinse repeat till achieve LOL.

I tried Achievements > Combat > Economy
Create 20 Zerglings in first 255 seconds of the game.

I did it twice against the AI but didn't get the achievement.
(I checked the Build Order after the game)

bugged?

ROFL ALL IN BRUTAL IS EASY AS HELL. so easy, i only loaded ONCE, and FIRST ATTEMPT with NO guide from youtube or whatsoever and completed it without a single use of nova.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


seriously. all in HARD with broodlords is 10x HARDER than nydus brutal. nydus are a JOKE.
my artifact is 100% hp untouched. base is left in tact PERFECT. wat kerrigan? eat siege tank shells. no battle cruisers. no thor to barrage stun. just plain banshee baiting "psi storm" while siege tank unload the jesus outta her.

turrets all around base, perdition flame all around base too. 200/200 banshee/siege tank + scv loaded like hell around the base


oh and the screenshot ive promised last time for my in utter lagness:

you must have missed one or two times then, because both achievements are based on just talking every mission and getting them to tell you random things.

Siege tanks and banshee only nothing else. Banshee is to bait kerrigan storm so she don't just roll over your tanks and kill nydus. As well as cover your tanks from zerglings when kerrigan is out soaking your tank damage.once your tanks reach critical mass then you can ignore nydus as nothing can survive their volley

No bunkers at all.got a ton of perditions and missle turret scattered around the base though since you will be gas starved to hell. To the point my ground vehicles and air ship weapons upgrade only level two and no armor.

Also a basic rule to that mission or any starcraft two high level play: minerals and/or gas exceeding 500 with minerals and gas fully worker saturated means your looking into a defeat
