So guys I have tried this mission 4 times and it seems that I am doing something wrong. I tried to follow the Liquipedia guide(generally I know what to do in this mission) and I still failed

So far I have done every other mission on Brutal plus every mission's achievements so I won't give it up so easily(ofc I am completely aware that I may just s**k). Well, I am here asking for any tip that can help me and that is not already in the Liquipedia guide.

I haven't read the liquipedia guide, but I found maw of the void to be one of the easiest missions. Its literally just massed 3/3 battlecruisers. I guess among tips, I made 3 science vessels to cut down on the gas of constant repairing, and left 3 battlecruisers at the natural/1 at the main to defend against rushes. The rest just worked across the map - I'd move in, kill most of the units, retreat out for sci vessel repair, then move back in to finish the generator. Carriers are 2 yamatos each, the generators 5, and that mothership thing like 6? Fire a bunch of cannon at it and it goes away. It wasn't a quick process, mission took 40 mins igt, but it easily could have been done faster.

Yeah, basically just mass battlecruisers and that's all you need. Pop in, kill carriers/void rays, then the rip field generators quick, then kill everythng else around it.
You don't have to kill the Mothership either, in the end I just sent my whole fleet to Yamato the temple. You'll likely get sucked into one Vortex, so just re-Yamato when you pop out

3 or 4 vessels
1 medivac to transport SCVs to the expansion, and to pick up mineral/gas pickups
merc marines + auto-turret bunkers to defend your starport/fusion core/depots
The rest battlecruisers, get 3/3 on air upgrades; I usually have 18-20 battlecruisers by the end of the mission

once your main runs out, lift CC and move to the expansion, use medivac to transport your SCVs

Use the DTs to kill as much as you can, it will save you minerals/gas on repairing battlecruisers.

Each time you kill a rip-field generator, back out and heal up to full health. Anytime you see a carrier yamato it twice, anytime you see a void ray yamato it once. Rip-fields take 6 yamatos I think, but it's not necessary to use yamatos against the generators. Everything else can be killed by simple battlecruiser A-move.

Once you mine out the map and pick up all the mineral/gas containers, you should have more than enough for battlecruisers + repair costs.

hi, i had problems too till i discovered this very simple trick.

1. never kill the mothership
2. the last generator is behind the temple and is hard to get to. simply yamato the cannons guarding the temple, then sneak dts in to kill off the production buildings. with no respawns your bcs will roll it easily

get 3/3 air upgrades, 10 or so stealth banshees alongside your battlecruisers and stealth snipe the generators. It makes getting the achivements easier.

Mass BC. Once you get 4-5 take the expansion. Once you get the expansion down, get 4-5 vikings to kill any inbound warp prisms +carriers while your BCs are away from base. Free DT and have them kill any stalkers/HT you can find + buildings. Keep pumping BCs, destroy Rip fields, and once you feel like you have enough BCs, rush the artifact vault and mass yamato.

Omg I just loaded an autosave and I saw that I was making THE GROUND VEHICLE upgrades instead of the air once. Guess playing SC2 after eight hours of work then 2 hour spent drinking beers has its minuses. Sorry guys for wasting your time I am going to bed and gonna try to do this mission tomorrow with clear head...

Just mass up BCs with a few vessels and tell them all to yamato the vault. You don't even need to kill the last 3/4 generators or the mothership.
