just did this mission with the exact same tactic, you can get all the protoss artifacts if you have the orbital command upgrade from the hyperion armory. just take out the defense for the first one with your banshees and get it with a marine, for the other 3 you want to search up their location on the internet, then safe 100 energy on your orbital and scan the area and drop a mule next to the artifact. you will get 2 in time and for the last you will have to lift of your orbital, fly to the right in between your base and the near expo, then fly upwards once you have 100 enegery and land. there will be a squad coming to take out the orbital but you should have enough time to scan and drop a mule. make sure to save the game before tho! :) hope that helped
Holy crap the MULE idea is genius. That makes getting the second one a lot easier and prevents you from losing Banshees and units early in the level. I've been using a Viking to fly in and drop down to the ground for the 3rd and 4th artifacts, but this is perfect. Thank you! :)
@@fusionsoul My plan, no joke, was to drop a viking in there then quickly get a mule there for repairs. I was halfway through training a viking when I realized I'm an idiot 😂
Yea it fucks you up hitting the first few bases when they have the ground crystal. Then the third and everything after has those prisms and as you know your banshee only targets ground. I really hate that they force you to play one way which is rushing/against the clock.
"You can actually take as long as you want, there is no time limit to this mission at all" The firewall closing in on everything says otherwise, plus constantly pushing you towards enemy. Perfect example of timed mission along with mostly all the others, but its even worse in co-op.
I can imagine this strategy would be even easier with both Viking upgrades (especially the range upgrade - they'll be far enough away from Warp Prisms that the Photon Cannons won't be able to fire upon them), as well as some of the researches.
I'm doing all achievements once more on another account. I was wondering how I did this back then. Now I remember 🤣 Thx again. Fun thing how much glitches/cheeses has been discovered during the years, but this is still the easiest solution for Supernova by far.
You can get the reasearch easly just cloak the banshees and rip into the first 3 reasarch with banshees and send a vulture to pick it up and for the last one scan the bottom left corner and drop a mule.
Didn't realize i could make Vikings on this mission. I was going to lose my mind. Made it all the way to the last mineral line multiple times but would get slaughtered by the Carrier and and Templar just destroying my army. Fuck.
strategy is great! made it today so it is actual :) what is more, when making it first time, ive lost many vikings when running on the top edge. Finally only 5 vikings left and make it :) greetingz and thank you! :)
Well great. It seems that for every tutorial I'm finding it uses vikings, but vikings are the only units I don't have yet (On purpose, I'm holding off on Haven, and not because it's too hard). Is there any good walkthrough that DOESN'T use vikings?
I came here due to the stress this mission has and the fact that my mental disorders make me overreact to the fire and i make units and attack too soon. then i lose becuase i dont have time form ore units .-.
Still can't even take the first base -_- before that every "brutal" mission was a cakewalk, this is just impossible, I don't understand what am I doing wrong. I've got all units possible, all upgrades, tried bio, mecha and air, still fcked.
Daniel Travel I've also done ir without any upgrades just to see if it was possible. it works if you just build more air units then i suggest to make up for the lack of special units and you need to be patient with your vikings.
I like this campaign but realistically the only mission that is hard on brutal is the last one haha. this entire game can also be done with zero upgrades and without use of additional unites (except the maw of the void)

I didn't know warp prisms powered buildings no wonder I was having trouble

This is the best guide for this mission.
Still works ! :) I suggest everyone who needs this on brutal to use this guide! Managed to do it in 11:09
thank you, I did it with your help - I also took all reasearch by sweeping then sending mule to get it
I can imagine this strategy would be even easier with both Viking upgrades (especially the range upgrade - they'll be far enough away from Warp Prisms that the Photon Cannons won't be able to fire upon them), as well as some of the researches.
bruh i dont care what anybody says this video helped me beat wol on brutal
lol i used to do side sneaks a lot in BW since many missions required destroying an object or reaching a beacon
Holy crap man, never would have been able to beat it without this. Fantastic guide bro
Subtitles for this are amazing :D Will try them on for more from now
If you want to grab the research while doing this just use a ghost or spectre (preferably spectres) with infinite cloak to grab all the research.
Canons detect.
You can use scan/drop a mule if you have orbitals
I'm doing all achievements once more on another account. I was wondering how I did this back then. Now I remember 🤣 Thx again. Fun thing how much glitches/cheeses has been discovered during the years, but this is still the easiest solution for Supernova by far.
Man, you're a genius!
this is common sense...
You should cloak your banshees after the cannons are killed
You can get the reasearch easly just cloak the banshees and rip into the first 3 reasarch with banshees and send a vulture to pick it up and for the last one scan the bottom left corner and drop a mule.
I like your strategy. Thanks

I cant thank you enough for this, I couldn't beat it the normal way because I suck.
Thank you, this worked on my second try. :)
Bless you man!
Wow!!! Omg super fast didn't think of it i feel so stupid now
Thank you so much for the video. It really helped!
Worked great!! Thanks
this is so nice,thank u this helped me
Nice one
Dude what!! How did you figure that out! sweet! thanks.
Thank you very much.
Thanks man
thos warp prisims are now pilons and 1 million storms, was made hell of a lot harder
Thank you!!
well done :)
7 years later and it still works? lul
thx mate
strategy is great! made it today so it is actual :) what is more, when making it first time, ive lost many vikings when running on the top edge. Finally only 5 vikings left and make it :) greetingz and thank you! :)
thank you! hard level :/
Thanks

15-20 banshees with 2/2 upgrades can do it the same way without vikings
Dawid Zwiewka did you try it? i really dont think that will be possible to train 15 banshees at starting base, not alone upgrade 2/2
I beat this level on normal difficulty when I use banshee rush
Thx man, it's so easy, lol
I came here due to the stress this mission has and the fact that my mental disorders make me overreact to the fire and i make units and attack too soon. then i lose becuase i dont have time form ore units .-.
It's not your fault, its theirs for forcing you to play a certain way on top of being timedx2 with that firewall.
Still can't even take the first base -_- before that every "brutal" mission was a cakewalk, this is just impossible, I don't understand what am I doing wrong. I've got all units possible, all upgrades, tried bio, mecha and air, still fcked.
You dont get the protos research
nice :D :D
only one problem, no research...
Daniel Travel I've also done ir without any upgrades just to see if it was possible. it works if you just build more air units then i suggest to make up for the lack of special units and you need to be patient with your vikings.
I like this campaign but realistically the only mission that is hard on brutal is the last one haha. this entire game can also be done with zero upgrades and without use of additional unites (except the maw of the void)
Well if you're just trying to beat on brutal for the achievement you can just go back and do the level on hard afterward.
The view on what is hard is dependent on the player, not realism.
Shadow Chaser I agree I just learn all the inns andouts

Stop watching walkthroughs for it. Who watches walkthroughs for games they've never played?
I did wanted to know what i was getting in to
@@basicnothing8047 so you watch a funny, wierd guide for a mission? why not watch a gameplay video of regular stuff?
ive been trying this shit and losing so much and i watch u do it on 1 base lmfao ufck
...how do I do this without viking?
probably with wraiths, but why not vikings?
Perhaps because they haven't chosen to do Haven before Supernova.
Its good to do Supernova first. Having a few banshees in the mix helps with ground units.
I'm a bit late and youve probably figured this out already, but you can just click Abort Mission and select the Haven one.
But why the barrack?
So you don't technically lose your base entirely, it'll be your only structure left after the firewave.
Rinkster315 ok thanks
I would rather just use a cheat code, I don't see a point in this tactic. What's the fun?
That is not brutal
