StarCraft Remastered is the original StarCraft: Brood War released in 2017 with many visual updates and no gameplay changes.
This is definitely the hardest mission in all of SC + Brood War. I'm mostly impressed by your ability to not get extremely frustrated in the face of CONSTANT ridiculous drops!
Fun fact: The AI gets 75,000 minerals and gas in the beginning of this scenario so they don't actually need to mine anything
Has nobody considered how fucked up it is that the UED has control over infested terrans too?
This would require sacrificing other humans if not their OWN MEN to be infested for science or a minor advantage.
Aye its pretty fucked up, they might be colonists/dominion prisoners
Just finished StarCraft 1 a few days ago. For me, "Omega" was such an easy mission compared to this one. In "Omega", you can just claim the early expansion with little to no resistance, collect a ton of resources, build 4-5 hatcheries, make hundred hydralisks and go destroy your enemies one by one.
In this mission, however, the enemies are far more aggressive, they constantly attack your base and send lots and lots of units against you when you destroy at least one of their bases on your starting island. It felt very tense all the time. But, now that I've finished it, I must admit it was fun (though restarting the mission over and over again felt rather frustrating).
You just can't be too slow to kill the protoss on Omega though or they will tech up to dark archons and ruin your life with Maelstrom.
@@averagefanenjoyer8696 That's interesting. Indeed, I went for the protoss first, so probably that's why I didn't face such complications in Omega. Though I'm quite a slow player who can't get rid of the bad habit of turtling :)
@@MaceUA Same man. I suck at micro and my APM is not too good either and i get easily frustrated to the point of restarting the mission.
On this map I park devourers in hold position so they dont chase vessels and overlords. I put DTs on patrol mode so they cover a bigger area of defence with about 8-12 hydras to back them up. Together with sunken spore lurker of course. Thats 16-20 food on the middle base defence. Similar group going between the main and north. DTs spread. Base southeast as staging area for the final assault.
Im lazy have a low apm. Thats why I come up with stuff to organize.
The final mineral count was 2018. What treachery is this?
its a sigh XD
SC is basically the only RTS that i've played. It's my childhood game. Back then i've only was able to complete the original terran campaign without cheats. So recently i've tried to complete SC and BW, to make the record straight so to speak. All was going fine until this one. This mission broke me. I tried a few times and just couldn't break that zerg next to my base because of constant drops. I would just run out of resources before i would be able to overpower them. But now i see that it is doable, i'm gonna try again. Also got an idea of building sunkens on the enemy creep as a way to keep up the pressure.
FUN FACT: at around 35 min you said "maybe he'll cloak" when you sent defilers against a wraith, but they can be seen even when cloaked because of the acid spores, which act similarly to the "ensnare" spell, revealing cloaked units!
Jay try using parasite on enemy overlords and critters, it’s like a guilt-free map hack and you always get to see when they’re transporting units to drop on you :)
until enemy medics heal ALL their affected units, then send in a Queen, Defiler, D-matrixed Overlords and some Cattlebruisers straight at ya.
There is a speed run for this map. It can be done in 10 or 15 minutes using a few guardians and fast nidus with lings and hydras. I had to take a few practice runs to get it done.
Now that I think of it, couldn't Kerrigan have used Matriarch herself to kill the Overmind?
Not mean enough to Zeratul I guess?
You actually can get your hands... tentacles... whateveer zerg has, anyway you can get terran tech if you use one of the cheats which unlocks special research projects, then you can merge DT's in to Dark Archon and get SCV.
It's cheating, but it's fun at least.

This is why i am subscribed. For the sounds like those.
I wonder who in Blizzard back then thought that it was such a great idea to give Infested Terrans the amount of damage being equal to a nuclear strike, minus splash radius and no air attack thank god.
34:06
David vs Goliath
Jay, when Devourer attacks cloaked units it sort of "marks" them in the same way queen's web does, it even has a small splash effect.
It’s an unfair battle with Zerg and dark Templar’s against a huge UED battle fleet and their enslaved Zerg.
The anti-air in the UED bases is amazingly weak. I completely swept this mission by quickly killing the two bases on your island and then building a big fleet of guardians and devourers. I was actually laughing at how brutally they were being destroyed by them.
@@averagefanenjoyer8696 I, as with Jayborino, also had the PRIMA strategy guides, and they over-hyped the UED's Devourer + Valkyrie (calling it the "deadliest anti-air combo"), but, like you implied, their own numbers aren't enough to be truly fearsome. As in, how long does it take to place the max 9 Acid Spores when the Computer only sends max. 3 Devourers at a time?
In order to avoid tank drops and being sieged, I burrow zerglings (like 12) close to the tanks usually park to siege. Then when I get the alert or see the tanks directly, I go and overwhelm the tank with the pack of rings :)
53:27 Random explosion incoming.
I beat this as a kid a couple times but couldn’t finish it a couple months ago when I tried
Same, I tried for a week night time, then start looking for youtube videos to do it. This one lead me to victory.
This map is the hardest than omega
Half the map cleared and then 72 guardians plus a clean sweep from the bottom later, the final push was a joke for me.
As a kid I didn't know about hotkeys. So I couldn't even make it to this mission. I used the mouse only until years later. Lol
You seem to be a super nice guy 😊
are you using controll groups? Seems like you have problems coordinating your attacks.
Lol so funny it was either this one or omega that I couldn’t beat as a kid either 😂
As a kid, this mission took longer to beat then All In on Brutal
same for me i never completed this map back when it was released so i am playing it now and its a tuff map for sure.
I definitely beat this years ago but I lost cds long time. With remaster, I am replaying all the old campaigns but just can't beat this one. I think Blizzard really make the AI harder over the years of patching since I last beat all the campaigns.
- I follow this video for the 1st half, after taking 4 bases
- I spend my sweat time setting up static defends all along the edges and make tons of mutalisks and defend with ground units left over from previous attacks.
- When I have 2 groups of guardians and 2 group of devourers, clean out top middle white island base. Don't use mutalisk starting at this point, they will just drop like flies.
- When I have 2 groups of guardians and 4 group of devourers (3 groups may work, but definitely not 2). Then push into the final base with ease.
Take more time but easier than ground push. I end up with 15 saves in between, LOL.
What if you press space key immediately when you hear the Nuclear launch detected announcement? I think the view jumps to the location of the red dot, if my memory serves me correctly..
Hardest level for sure. Not sure which base I take first, the zerg base opposite yours or the terrans to the north. I remember Infesting their command centre and I also remember every time I set up a base in the bottom right I get nuked constantly. I too cheated the first time I played this level, but back in 2015 resolved to play every level over again until I found a way to win properly.
29:55 3+3 air upgrades before attacking and not simply Attack-Moving without hotkeys would have minimised Guardian losses, as they cost the most gas by far
I like having the Mutalisks, Devourers, and Overlords to follow a Guardian and not be attacking by default (to avoid the Devourers running off as with 50:22); hotkeys help them to quickly switch to defending my own Guardians from enemy air and to focus fire on the Battlecruisers, Valkyries, and Devourers (the real dangerous enemy units)
35:47 doesn't matter if the computer auto-cloaks the Wraith after any number of Acid Spores have been attached
55 minutes, this is gonna be fun =)
Edit: not as fun as I expected tbh
What did you expected? It's like marco to the core.
I forgot how Kerrigan infested Duran to have him join the Zerg I played the Terran and Protoss episodes they are fun for expansion
I believe in the secret level of this zerg campaign he tells you he is neither zerg or Terran, but something else entirely.
I think the reason this level is so hard is because you have three or four commanders on the other side in theory.
I wonder if devourers were originally planned to be introduced in this mission, since you start with a couple here.
Also: why not have Raszagal - who is also a dark templar - destroy the Overmind, instead of blackmailing Zeratul into doing it?
Looks like she's just a figurehead of the dark templar clan, not a warrior. She's also super old.
That's actually not even her model, it's a DT "hero" unit from III campaign. She had an unfinished unique Corsair model, but afaik it was planned to be non Corsair but some other unit.
W.KongHospital Also, kerrigan likes toying people around because she’s a psychopath in this time...
I had hard time with this one..they used dark swarm and destroyed my units..so i sent a little army first and made them wast their dark swarm and move out the ultralisk then i sent everything i had and even air dropped right into their base i lost many units but that did the trick
This effing mission was so hard
i just played through the final few missions the other day ... somehow someway, this map was pretty easy for me. knock out the white base to the north, than the orange to the east.... build new hatcheries at both and throw down plenty of static DEF + some zerglings at all the expansions ...... once youre all held down i had an INSANE amount of resources and i built like 16 guardians and 16 devourers and just slow rolled over the entire map...
also ::: when you take expansion bases ... no not build only ONE hatchery like he does. (sorry) ... always put down 2 or 3
Is there any lore reason for the UED to have infested Terran? It doesn't really make sense.
It's not like they have morale high ground or something. It's plausible. If the idea really unearves you, well you can think of them as some poor sods who got infested prior U.E.D. establishing dominance over Char's zerg population.
they could have infested lots of dominion captives
Considering that the "To Chain The Beast" map had a few Infested Command Centers near the Overmind (more specifically, the Orange Cerebrate), I'm assuming those Command Centers were there before the UED took control of the planet Char.
To me this mission was clearly easier compared to Omega. Sure, there are nukes, DTs, BC and carrier strikes, but it's like nothing compared to my struggle of leaving the initial island in this mission.
If you drop hydras and kill the valkyries before they kill your overlords (with hydras in them) you should be ok. Grab the attention of the valks with you devourers. Snipe the tank in the back with guardians or spawn broodling if you are classy. I dont like using dark swarm in this mission. Tanks lurkers firbats zerglings ugh.
This can fail a couple of times if the elements of your attack dont time eachother right.
Omega is not very hard if you kill the protoss first, andas fast as possible. The protoss base is far more dangerous than either of the terran bases in Omega because of all their spellcasters.
@@averagefanenjoyer8696 this....!!!! destroy the protoss base b4 they get all their spell upgrades. if u screw up, might as well restart.
Jay need to learn how to use lurker to attack.
I'm From Korea!
Looks like infested terrans extremely good against human players
I spend 5 hours on this mission.
I'm like this with the big missions and big maps too. On the second from last Protoss mission on Starcraft Original I nearly ran out of resources before I'd attached the two main Zerg forces.
I think i'm gonna spend days.
Done!
@@juanolguin2468 Good job
Duran, why do you think only DT can kill cerebrates? Do you remember last mission of UED? Enough brute force will kill them as well eventually.
They eventually revive though.
The UED managed the resurrection using the Psy disruptor
if you kill a cerebrate with normal attacks, they will be re-incarnated .. watch the intro video to "The Culling" the zerg inform Kerrigan that Zasz is dead, and she says the Overmind will re-incarnate him shortly. and then the zerg reiterate and say "no, Zasz is totally dead and not coming back", because he was killed by a D.T.
Cheater ! 1111!!!111°!!1!!11
