I would say engine of destruction. I played the thing on brutal straight out of the box and engine of destruction was the only mission where I did not get the bonus objective done on the first playthrough. Just judging from which missions I lost on the most times the rest of the list would include Supernova, All in, Into the gates of Hell and whatever the last Zerathul mission was called.

All-In with air enabled was the hardest mission in the game for me. You have to constantly be on the watch for broodlords with vikings or else they're gonna fuck up with your siege tanks.

well the difficulty of levels all depend on tech choices.

we should have a challenge of doing brutal without any research or upgrades. then it will be really easy to see which level is real hell.

1. All in(nydus, found air easy but i did air after i spent like 6 hours on nydus all in:X)
2. Laser drill
3. Engine of destruction
4. Train robbery.

Talking about first time through, replaying a lot of these missions dont seem so hard.

Easiest missions are the first two on char.
Once entire tech tree opened up it was just 1a2a3a

All in is impossible without research. I mean the key to beating nydus is tanks and wall in(which tanks will destroy with splash) and the key to beating air is vikings with splash.

You can do all-in without viking splash (i did it).

Damn I thought I was the only person having trouble with engine of destruction. Such a frustrating level until someone on the forums suggested going diamondbacks/mm. Tried it and it worked perfectly.

Am I the only one who found Engine of Destruction easy? Only took me two tries, cloaked wraiths + scvs repairing is all it took (Had double scv repair speed).

What makes Engine, Supernova, and All in so hard is that most of the objectively unreal missions have no time limit, so you can eek out a victory.

But the aforementioned 3 are all on a hell of time table. Tychus is unbelievably quick between knocking out bases and you are just forced to slam into entrenched positions with Tanks, Bunkers, and Marauders, oh my. Supernova forces you to have an UNREAL unit retention, otherwise you are just unable to win. Even if you could get the resources to rebuild an army you might lose attacking the Toss, you don't have anywhere to safely land it long enough to do so. And All In? What is there to say, you have to fight off 10000 food of Zerg units with Kerrigan being a ball buster. The only thing that makes that easier is that the AI is just too dumb to not get caught up on Hydras and have Kerrigan use Storm effectively.

All in definately. I even tried those thor's but for me the cannon did now stun here so eventually I just went mass tanks.

Supernova was actually quite easy :o I would say In Utter Darkness as i close second.

I keep seeing people say utter darkness as one of the hardest, but I thought it was really easy...Just make lots of units and A attack...What are people having trouble with on that level?

"Piercing the shrouds" and "Belly of the beast" caused me to save/re-load like 20 times.

One-shotted "Utter darkness", "All-in" and "Engine of destruction" easily and got all achievments. Does hardly require any execution. Just strategy.

What??

Engine of destruction? That was one of the easiest levels. Mass cloaked Wraiths with SVs and SCVs behind. I was so bored waiting for Tychus to just gogogo. I even killed the Elite BC (i think it was Loki) with spread out wraiths.

All in was crazy hard until i figured it out (like all missions beomce a walk in the park once you figure them outlol)

engine of destruction gave me the most trouble, but i was able to beat it with only wraiths, just make sure not to lose too many early on cuz you need them for the last 2 bases.

All in by far, I didn't have to much trouble with any other mission on brutal, I had vikings for engine and it was easily the second toughest.

I didn't have 25% more gas, slowing zerg tower, +15% attack speed, +150hp bunkers or flame turrets, so its was pretty tricky, but once i found out that getting a couple of armour upgrades (+15% hp) for the tanks would let them survive Kerrigans storm it went a lot better.

Supernova I found to be easy, but i had science vessel and tech reactor by then so i just massed banshee, got merc vikings and 2 science vessel and rolled every base they had.

Easily All in for me (which i didnt yet finish ...), tried abouzt 15 times thus far and just concluded to replay to whole campaign to 1. get all the hard/normal achievements und and 2. get better tech for all in (i destroyed the nydus) 2. was engine of destruction imo

"All in" was by far the hardest mission on brutal, and by that I mean the air version. I spent a lot of time on it and never managed to complete it... I didn't have mind control towers or upgraded vikings, so in retrospect that could have made it easier. When I decided to backstep and do the nydus version I completed it on 2nd try.

All the other missions were minor problems, imo they don't even compare...

Engine of Destruction was annoying, but All In was much harder.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.
