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.

I'm on The Dig mission on hard:- To earn the achievement, need to destroy 50 or more Protoss structures. The play order of my missions, i don't have any flying units yet otherwise i can use the Dig Laser to target the structures.

Any tips? Anyone who has got this achievement can share?

Thanks

Thanks Kit Kat but if i want to earn the hard achievement now, can i like maybe fly off my Barracks to reveal the structures and blast them using the Dig laser?

Best!

Good luck!

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

I got my hard achievement for The Dig mission last night [destroy 50 Protoss structures] without having the ability of scanner, nukes or flying units.
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.

Just completed some hard achievements:-
1. Ghost mission - Kill/Destroy all enemy units and structures
2. Haven Fall - Defend 5 outposts from the Zerg
3. Mobius Mission - Complete mission before Kerrigan destroy >6 structures
This mission having the supercarrier [from Zerg research] to load/drop
units makes its very easy to achieve for hard and brutal mode.

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?
