The one where you have to send the message to the media? On hard they don't target repairing scvs so Tychus is invincible. I just a moved tychus, then a moved some thors also with scvs, can't remember if I got the achievement though.

I'm trying to beat it right now aswell. One idea I'm gonna try is to send 3-4 thors to 2 of the objectives and send tychus alone to the 3rd that I cleared during part 1.

Just hope it will be enough to break it.

Edit: Wasn't hard at all, I just failed the first two times.

This time I actually used thors instead of trying to go M&M ball. Walked out of my base at 3 Thors + Odin together with some SCVs. Just kept walking and sent reinforcement Thors and SCVs to replace the ones dying.

Defended base with 2 bunkers and mercenary tanks.

Took me 17,5 minutes.

Also don't forget to send a pair of marines to the secret mission location

Yupyup, let Odin go get the two bases you did not destory alone with 3 scvs or so and keep them in the back so they don't die by splash or such or when you are taking the media thingy. In the meantime build up a decent army of thors or such and go get the 3rd base which is destroyed in the beginning by the odin at the same time Odin goes to the second one, what can help also if you have trouble defending the 3rd one with what you've got (shouldn't be a problem is build bunkers there just before you start taking over the thingy as there won't be any enemies left there.)

Gl hf!

curious does the 5 mins at the start when you only control the odin count as part of the 20 mins?

Seems like it, as I timed it today (from the point where you get control over the base) and I finished after 18 minutes ,but that turned out to be 23 + minutes :/

I think the game counts in game time, and since you're playing on faster speed it's more like 15-16 minute of real time

That is correct, even though the game speed is Fast not Faster on Hard


But as I wrote in my previous post. As long as you play on hard, you can easilly do with 3 thors plus the odin as your strike force. Just build 2 extra thors as fast as you can (3rd is the one you get for free from Swann).

Then just add 4 SCV or so and walk in a group non stop between the objectives and you should make it in time.

I took out all the siege tanks and tech factories on the north base when I had sole control of the Thor, then mopped up the command center to the right of my main, and kill whatever reapers/hellions I could before time ran out.

Then I immediately expoed to the east, and repaired my Odin while sending it in to finish the east base off, I build up siege tanks and goliaths (thors may have worked but I don't like them, plus west base air dies to goliaths easy). I cleared the west base while uploading in the east, Odin plus 5 scvs can tank the force alone if you use the strike cannons. Upload to the west with main army while clearing the rest of north base with Odin, then main army meets up with Odin to upload north. I finished in exactly 18 min on hard.

the mission is designed to show off thors, so you only really need to have odin + 2-3 extra thors + scvs to complete the mission.

i built some turrets at my base's left flank to deal with the 1-2 air waves, and mercenary tanks on the right flank destroy any and every ground unit that comes through there.

im not sure about brutal, but its easy as pie in hard, even with the air units to the left.

I used Tychus to take out both the Factories + Siege Tanks and Starports at the beginning. Once he dies, immediately start pumping Tanks + Marines and attack in a clockwise motion ASAP. Constantly macro up while you do this, and while you're attacking the 2nd base, macro up an army and attack the third base at the same time. Your first army should hit the 3rd base to help out and you should be able to get the achievement if you pushed at the right time. I got it with 11 seconds to spare.

You wont have time to get fuckton of thors and vikings if you want to do the timed achievement. which the OP asks about.

As I said several times. Odin + 3 other Thors plus say 4-5 SCV and you will just walk through it all easilly base to base. And I did it in 17,5 min, wasting some time being slow and forgetting to put a unit on one of the objective circles.

The main important thing is that you keep the odin if it does not die in the first part of the mission. This is something i somehow only noticed really late. And with the Odin, you simply run around with it, the Thor you get, some scvs, and maybe some mercenaries lateron. You can take out one base in the first part of the mission, for example the one making the tanks. Then you simply build some turrets to defend against the air push from the north, and just walk into the base to your right, where they have only reapers + hellions. Once you are done with that, you just call down all the mercs and move around the map.

I did this mission with 6 specters and about 12 nukes, took out the air base with odin, sent one specter with one nuke and just as the raven's showing up you drop the nuke in it's direction and it won't go into the blast, buying enough time to get the first tower.

As for the other towers, two specters for the north base dropping nukes in succession keep the raven at bay while 3 specters at the rightmost base.
Tried it with two but the raven just kept working it's way around before I hit 100%.

That was a fun achievement!

During the 5 minutes I destroyed all 5 CC's, makes attacking much easier when computer doesn't build.
