39:35
Lowko: PUSH HIM IN!
*confused dragoon wanders between malash and the pit*
Lobster i love how dragoons always get confused (Like shitty pathfinding from starcarft 1)
Wouldn't be a dragoon otherwise!
Go to the right, dragoon!
*Dragoon goes to the left*
ah typical, when even an entire generation of game development could not fix your path finding
"I don't know where to go HALP!"
You finished the level without completing the bonus objectives.
*UNACCEPTABLE*
Nooooo! I did it the first time around but when the objective failed I forgot one. Will have to reload. Thanks for the headsup!
When reloading you forget solarite... but why didn't you get the bases you cleaned up as expo?
Still hope to see another reload video of this mission
its ok you dont have to reupload... maybe...
not sure you to decide I dont care XD
also destroyers are ok but only at ending missions where AI spamming armored units its not that powerful aganist light units
yeahh....ähm...you forgot the bonus objective....you forgot 10 solarite XD
When?
Oh never mind. I saw it. XD
in his second try you can see it quit clear^^ just take a look at the stats at 40.20 where it stand 5 solarite (15 possible)
Lul F
At this point Im not even surprised anymore. :D
Instead of killing the elementals, you could just follow them around with a bucket. Solarite for days.
Also, if you really want to drag this mission out, you could make Dark Archons and recruit the opponent's army.
Hahaha that would be Amazing! Mind control their carriers. I have a feeling the hybrid are immune.
Actually I just did the fastest speedrun of this mission that I've ever managed using darchons as the bulk of my army. Capturing immortals, void rays, carriers, and colossus along the way and making zealots/stalkers fight each other makes this a snap. Did it in 12 minutes while only taking 1 bonus, or 15 for all three.
Dark Archons are most effective on the Templar's Charge mission. Make 4 of them, Mind Control all enemy battlecruisers that come at your base. Spend all other resources on Carriers and their upgrades. By the end of the mission, you can have fleets of both battlecruisers and carriers.
Ooh I like that idea. Last couple of times I did templar's charge, I kept 1-2 darchons at my base to mind-control things but almost exclusively got banshees/vikings and kept having to re-make the darchons. I imagine this idea would work best with shield batteries behind them, to keep them from dying to banshees before they can capture things.
To quote Alarak, "The difference between the Tal'darim and the Daelaam is that the Daelaam use long-winded speaches to get to the hearts of their warriors, we use a blade..."
Lowko: Welcome to legacy of--
*double tap to skip 10 seconds*
Lowko: --Amon
PLOT TWIST, AIUR WAS AN INSIDE JOB
Deadeye7177 I did it too 😂😂😂😂
Hey lowko, In the next mission, there is an easter egg where if you type "game over man" since you can still chat via the enter key something awesome happens.... lets just keep it a secret mkay? ;)
Kazba Do you mean purifier or Mobius one?
idk but on Mobius ones on mission: Templas's charge witch the moving platform do the tsunami code :D also a good one (up, up, down, down, left , right , left, right and push new button)
Chaosenone Do you mean the Konami Code? The Tsunami Code is something completely different.
oh yea yea :D my bad thx
Chaosenone
*a giant wave just wipes the entire map out*
*MOVE FORWARD SLAVES*
Lowko: He seems like relatively nice guy.
Lowko, I mentioned it before, but you should consider nerazim void rays.
Destroyers do look cool and scary but are far less effective. At least try them out :P
P.S. YOU FORGOT TO REDO THE BONUS OBJECTIVE
Agreed. Once you get a choice, the original version's faction adds an additional buff.
Maxed out destroyer's > Maxed out voidrays
A Random Guy when they're both maxed out every enemy force melts, but early to mid game void rays are easier to keep alive, letting them max faster.
Flynn Curtis I don't know I didn't find them easy to keep alive since they don't just have the extra range right from the start. They have to get close to the enemy just like the destroyers and then after 3 seconds they gain range so they will still get attacked. They might be good against building though but I find a voidray with kind of splash damage better especially with Havocs for extra range.
If you watch the video carefully, you will see that destroyers had low DPS till he got like 20 of them.
You will also notice that he lost a ton too quickly, considering his micro. They were melting a hole in his bank that led to him restarting the whole mission, even though he was almost maxed out
If you try the same with ordinary voids, trust me, you will barely lose any of them, max out quicker and laugh at Amon's face as everything is purified
Idk why this is the case, when I first tried them in like 2015, they were OP, now they are weak and kinda useless
Alarak is precious af,we must protecc his smile!!!
have u seen his smile in the Nova campaign
Yeah he can most definitly smile on the nova cutscene. Its gorgeous.
I like how he tells Artanis "leave me, I must make preparations"
Like wut.... this is MY ship, MY SHIP.
Nice Meme he smiles with his eyes bro!
Alarak is hilarious, he has a voiceline in Heroes of the Storm
It is, "The Tal'darim name their worlds based upon iconic events that occurred on them, our homeworld's name is Slayn. Let your imagination run WILD!"
Lots of people remembering Alarak's voice John de Lancie for his role of Q on Star Trek: The Next Generation. But let's make sure to give a shoutout to the other Star Trek veterans: Tassadar is voiced by Michael Dorn who played Worf and Narud was voiced by Armin Shimerman who played Quark on Deep Space Nine. Other sci-fi veterans include Claudia Christian as Rohana who previously played Ivanova on Babylon 5 and, of course, Tricia Helfer voiced Kerrigan shortly after wrapping up her role as Number Six on the Battlestar Galactica reboot.
Let's not forget Ji'nara, First Ascendant (actually Second until the end of this video) of the Tal'darim, voiced by Nicole Oliver... we have Princess Celestia and Discord from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic as the match made in hell!
Well, if we want to name some notable career voice actors, Frank Welker did the voice of Zurvan. I don''t have time to list all of his major voice acting roles but he's most famous for Megatron from The Transformers.
You think that's bad, check out this mad scientist meta. Abathur is voiced by Steve "Orochimaru" Blum.
"Comfort is a myth"
Damn alarak you alright bro?
Humans also don't care much for comfort, when they are on drugs.
Alarak man who hurt you?
Alarak is just spittin truth. Y'all can't handle the truth!
39:52 Now THAT'S how you motivate people! Probably one of the most inspiring speeches in video games if I'm being honest. Short, sweet and to the point
Rohana: "Hybrid with great power are on their way to Ma'lash."
Lowko: "I don't know what that means."
Uncle Ben: "It means they have great responsibility, obviously."
PLEASE play a dark archon only game, taking control of other units :D
the taldarim seeks planets rich of terrazine because it enables them to break the 4th wall.
Destroyers suck compared to Void Rays, they have terrible dps and dont have extra range of Nerazim ships.
yea they got too low dmg aganist unarmored enemies
its good at end missions since they got a lot of armored units but until that point they are not too good :/
void rays better until enemies spam armored units
Yea Void Rays have a lot more range in the campaign (more than a cannon if i remember correctly), which makes killing things like scouts/carriers/battlecrusers way easier.
JasioOnPc 144p destroyers and void rays deal the same amount of dps but destroyers deal more because their attacks bounce so I don't know how they have "terrible dps"
Void rays get more damage when the are charged, Destroyers don't.
Straight out of the wiki "The void ray has a passive ability that increases it's range as it's damage increases, first by 1.5, then by 3 at maximum power. This makes the void ray an effective siege craft, able to attack ground units and structures safely from out of range of retalation".
What we are trying to say is: being able to kill units without your units being hit/killed > being able to kill units slightly faster if they are close together.
Just get one of the other 2 open bases smh Lowko also you did not grap the 10 Solarite
Darkest Dungeon is one of the best games I've ever played. I salute you for refferencing it, Lowko!
it might be lowko blindness but there is 2 more base that he didn’t notice yet xDD
Skylarks96 yeah one should always expand to the enemy's bases just to bm Amon.
I did notice them of course. But enemy units tend to spawn on the edges of the maps.
I have a feeling that Alarak knew Amon would indeed turn them into hybrid, however he saw the oppurtunity to lie his way into alliance with the Daleaam so he can reach the position of Highlord.
4:25
"Best voice in the game"
*Abathur cries in his corner*
Havoc range increase on the destroyers are op btw, you should give that a shot ^^, I'm unsure but I think it also increases the chain range /shrug.
Artanis: I expect their entire society to seek out who they truly are.
Me: they are the coolest Protoss I have ever seen
You missed 10 Solarite because of the retry! :p
There is a web story about rakshir, Alarak made clear that they'd aid Malash, this why he destroyed them to make sure he wins.. Or at least make it easier.
Lowko you should upgrade shields in forge. Just saying.
Also the bonus objective :v
Ikr, I keep shaking my head when I see protoss players microing their units around to regain more shields and yet take forever about upgrading the shields so they'll last longer. Especially if you're playing archons, or anything else with a lot of shields, like alarak's ascendants.
He should upgrade everything in the forge, that is half the fun of single player is getting everything.
I know Lowko won't see this, but still
Destroyers=low dps BUT they look cool
Dark Archons are the best units on this mission. The enemy constantly sends carriers, collosi, and archons against you, you can build up a sizeable force with enough dark archons. Additionally, there are a few key changes to the Dark Archon in SC2, it doesn't lose its shields when it mind controls units and mind control costs 100 energy I believe instead of 150. ALSO, IT CAN ATTACK!!! So, now it isn't a terrible up-front investment.
Basically, this all points towards the dark archon to DOMINATE on the Slayn missions!!!
*Edit:* 2 more things I'd like to add, just get 3 dark archons on the carrier mission. Every second attack on that mission contains 3 BCs, so free BCs!! Also, you can't mind control the void units, so dark archons won't be useful till the last mission where you can steal the golden armada back!!!
i would say the whole system of Rak'SHIR focus on not only the personal abilities but also how many dudes you can find as you ally which proves to be important across the history
Alarak: THIS IS SLAYN! Kicks Ma'lash into the red pit of death
Havocs are crazy good.
Imagine immortals with the range of laser giraffes with thermal Lance ;)
2 available expansion he freed up "I have 50 probes mining 5 mineral chunks and no gas" LowBlind :D
"Should we move up this ramp? Sound like a bad idea. Ok, let's do it"
Oh Lowko
Alarak playing the darkest dungeon...
Our good man Alarak is so fired-up in this mission.
*When Lowko doesn't upgrade shields*
And as per Rak'shir rules. It is customary for those who support one side or another, must declare for whom they are to support. There's an interesting bit about that on Alarak's wiki page
Artanis figured it out about the poopy stuff but pretended that he didn`t. So cute, yet he fools no one.
narazim void rays > Taldarim Destroyers
*CHANGE MY MIND*
hello. i know its been 2 years, but i just wanna say.
*_Read More_*
36:54 "What, you ran out of sentinels?" - a random S̶C̶V̶ Probe
39:39
Ma'lash: "This is madness!"
Alarak: "Madness? THIS. IS. RAK'SHIR!" *kicks Ma'lash down the well *
Love that quote from Darkest Dungeon
great video you are the only one so far that uploaded that part in BRUTAL greetings.
How do the Protoss sniff terrazine?
The put it onto their skin. Protoss don't eat. The gain everything theiy need by absorbing air and sun-energy by their skin.
inbf4 protoss are plants
They literally seem to be plants.
borrowed Izsha nose , cause she doesn't need it.
Berek71182 *l* yOu MeAn Dey Do A pHOtoSYNTeseS???
Lowko, I don't know whether that has been answered properly, but the reason why supplicants and allied armies are allowed to aid with psyonic power is because rak-shir tests individual strengh and leadership at the same time.
A warrior with absolute individual strength but no people skills at all would make a terrible highlord. as well as someone who can make everyone their allies but could easily be killed by everyone. And rak-shir makes sure that the highlord has military power behind him as well as the strength to enforce his will.
pretty damn smart I think
My thoughts exactly. Supreme power is nothing if you cannot demonstrate your use of it is masterful enough to enslave others to your will with it, hence having your followers support you. The stronger those followers are and/or the more of them they are, the better a leader you are.
mmmh, dinner is ready, 40+ minutes sc2 campaign video. me gusta.
Alarak's personality is just so well thought through and carried out I love it. Best character in LOTV hands down.
You forgot 10 solarites by not redoing the bonus objectives :)
Also, when you initially ran out of minerals, you had two expansions still available, the ones you had just cleared.
Lowko please go back and get the Solarite you lost when you loaded an old save. Also I recommend looking up the Destroyer's unit quotes. They give a wonderful viewpoint on how meaningful the Tal'darim way of life is.
the Nerazim void rays increase in range AND damage while the Tal'darim void rays only branch to multiple targets, hope it helps
Stay on the payload, Artanis!
For a moment I though he could make at the first atempt!
Lowko? Why did you look into your cup, when Alarak said "sweetest of ecstasy?"
He was checking to make sure there was no ecstasy left in the bottom. We all know what Lowko spikes his tea with to perform those auctioneer-speed play-by-plays ;)
It's at this point where I wish that Alarak decided to turn on Artanis and for the rest of the campaign we're playing as Alarak now.
WANTED: A campaign where you play as the Tal'darim!
The Destroyer, my absolute favorite unit in the LotV campaign. I alwasy called their attacks "Red Spaghetti Mess"
LOWKO THE BONUS OBJECTIVES!!!!
Lowko, perhaps if you make the sentries that upgrade range with the destroyers, you can make them even more overpowered
Also, 21:22 was the most efficient solar lance ive EVER seen, 50 energy for 3 scary scouts and an oracle that were 15 away feet from the destroyers. Couldnt risk that ish. Id really like to see what the energizers do paired with the destroyers. Lowko make my dreeeam come true buddy😎😂
I only ever seem to watch these vidoes drunk at 1 o'clock, but god damn do I enjoy them
Rak'Shir allows a champions supplicants to aid him to test not only might in combat but also one's force of personality, and ability to command others in service of Amon.
The super hero landing...
I now realize you play the broodwar protoss theme when your not playing the rts part of the game. I really like that 😃
16:40 Lowko, if you realize that your placement was messed up, you can right click to unassign the solar lances and try again, or right click again to cancel the casting and save the energy.
Lowko: **uses all his abilities**
Also Lowko: I have to save my cooldowns
This was my favorite mission in LOTV
A showdown between 2 Tal'Darim leaders, you get to use Tal'Darim destroyers, AND you go around collecting solarite poop XD
Gotta love it when Lowko forget that there are more than 2 mineral patches in the map. He could've EASILY taken the lower left as another expansion when his first one run low.
Best part of the whole mission is lowko destroying so many nexi/nexuses and forgetting that he could've taken those bases....then wondering how he ran out of resources 😂
Artanis is a wise boi. And Alarak is... ohh my.
You gonna need to get that bonus solerite again
On a side note regarding Rak'shir: Allowing the support of supplicants is basically a way of insuring that those who ascend are capable of ruling. In most circumstances if you have more supplicants than your opponent you will win, thus the winner needs to insure they are capable of swaying others to their cause. (Which Alark is clearly capable of doing.)
If you don't have the support of those beneath you you're unfit to rule. It's a law that the tal'darim take quite literally it would seem.
Talk about Look blindness. Around 35:45 he says "Did I fail? My mineral patches are running low". Yet on the mini map he clearly has 3 base expansions he hasn't taken yet.
In the mission where you'll get the carrier, input the Konami code. (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right)
Lowko, you said you love passive systems, maybe one time you should try getting only 1 ability on the spear of adun and maxing out the auxiliary systems. It's fairly passive and would be interesting to see how well it works. Keep up the great content!
39:34 look at the dragoon that is stuck next to the pit XD
Rip that he missed checking both the High Templar in the last episode and the Void Ray in this episode, after unlocking the choice...
Every unit gains additional features as they are unlocked in this menu, even the old units. Its a shame we didnt get to see what those were.
Restarts the mission and forgets the bonus objective. Classic Lowko
Fenix wrecking face. Just another day for him.
It wouldn't have hurt to take that 3rd and 4th base, makes beating the mission much more fulfilling
Lowko....you forgot bonus objective!! Those extra solarites~ XD
7:33 Fenix lit rally said "I don't know what will be worse. Him failing...or him actually pulling this off?"
BTW...Alarak loves Artanis so much, have you ever noticed that?
Dat Yu-gi-oh reference at 16:16. Who knew Malash played it.
You must try having a convo with fenix more often. He has tons of info about his past :) awesome vid btw.
The rules of the Rak´Shir do make sense imho.
Its in place to determine the best leader for the Tal´darim, and their leaders dont need combat abilities alone, but also control over their people. The psionic support is one kind of way to measure their ability of keeping their people in line.
Lowko: "I don't understand how you can help out the leader."
Oh comon Lowko, that's basic psionics! Power transfer is a fundamental skill in psionics, the basics of basics. For those who aren't too squeamish to use it anyway.
Here's an idea: when you're playing mid to high tier protoss and are flooding minerals, instead of dumping them on zealots, dump it on forward pylons and shield batteries. Keep a probe building pylons and batteries behind your main force and take 2 seconds to consolidate back, recharge shields and keep those higher tier units in fighting form.
40:50 It would be more ideal if you got your bonus objective done, again. Now you're missing 10 solarite. Oh Lowko, don't ever change ;D
I think the idea of helping in the rite, is to show how good leader the contenders are, since they gather all the support they can before the fight. Also due to being a deathmatch the weaker(supportive) warriors can show their value helping during the rite, without being destroyed in a 1v1 fight and going a bit higher in the escale of ascension in the process.
i know i came 3 years late but, 36:07 starts to think is running out of minerals and think that could actually lose, while there were TWO more locations to mine he cleared a while ago, and was clearly visible on the minimap (Lowko blindness!)
Alarak : THIS IS SPARTA!!
Alarak officially the highest boi on Slayn!
Yay, a new campaign video of the best Starcraft UA-camr of the galaxy!
You mean Winter, right?
Lowko
I remember having to refuse the destroyers because when you had a horde of them and the beams reached maximum capacity FPS just went to hell.
25:39 ohhh look an expansion
34:00 another expansion
35:38 MORE EXPANSIONS
"I am out of minerals"
Well maybe you should have created some nexii at those 2 taldarim bases you destroyed.
The Tal'Darim's High Templar are called Ascendants because they're even more high (or even higher, which one's correct) than high templar
Lowko, you forget to do the bonus mission when you use the check point
Lowko, if you want more Alarak story and information about what is going on with Amon's betrayal of the Tal'darim, you should check out the short story Asscension on the Blizzard website: us.battle.net/sc2/en/game/lore/short-stories/ascension/1
Frankly, it makes perfect sense you are allowed helpers. Personal might aside, this is supposed to be the contest for the supreme _leadership_
You have energizers, why would you EVER NOT pick Warp Harminization?!?!?!?! Besides, Warp Harmonization is way too good anyway. The ONLY scenerio that it isn't good is with chrono surge, but you can transform them back and chrono surge is used for economy.
Hey Lowko, thx for the video. Although the Destroyers is great, its very vulnerable. The campain voidray got far more range and far superior damage against single target. This allows the Voidray to kill more units before they got into range.
Helping out the Destroyers/Viodray: TheCorsair
The corsiar can use their wep against stationary defense and Hyrds/Marine/Stalker/Hybrids to decrease the damage to the Destroyers. Corsiar do splash Damage against flying Units. Thats works well witht he Destroyers againast Ait-Units. Corsiar's web also works against your (melee-) Troops and Fenix as well. Therefore corsiar are best used with AIR-only or FarRange type of Army.
