Yeah, something about shutting his organs down.... not an explosive-type device.

I noticed this but i don't think that the bullet has any significance in who it kills, he simply does it to look bad ass when he does kill some one.

That isn't really true. There are plenty of other ways that Jesus could have been killed.
And isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean, all you get is one trick: rational thinking; but, when you're good and crazy, ooohoohoohoohoooo, the sky is the limit!

Mengsk didn't put a bomb in Tychus' suit. It was some sort of neurotoxin.

(After Engine of Destruction mission)
Horner: "Seriously Sir -- his suit contains a sophisticated transponder... if it receives the correct code, it'll shut down all his major organs. That suit is a death trap."

And where are you getting this idea that Tychus didn't die at the end of the campaign? If the bullet hadn't killed Tychus, do you believe he would have been passive about it? Not likely. The scenario would then be: "Damn shame, Jimmy." *Proceeds to expend 5,000 rounds of ammo on both Jim and Kerrigan with his MINIGUN*

Awesome find!

In addition: I don't think Findlay is alive, because Mengsk would have killed him on spot if he were alive after Raynor shot him. (he failed his mission)

It just means James Raynor's made a break with his past, spending his last bullet Johnny Depp style... Which fits, cos he's not killing Sarah Kerrigan either.. Hel'l have to bash Mengsk to death with his marine suit instead I suppose.

WIth all the hints at Tychus's betrayal, how do you know that Raynor didn't already find out, and uncover a solution?

It's quite possible that Tychus is still alive, and Raynor simply shot the control system in the suit.

To me, it makes no sense to build up a character from the opening cinematic and then just kill him off at the end of the episode. My bet is that Tychus is alive, and will be around for the next 2 games.
hmm.

Guys, we know Tychus is dead because when you complete the campaign, the whole blurb on the page says

"With Tychus dead" blah blah, heart of the swarm blurb.

Meh, I don't really think Blizzard is going to let something like that step in the way of open-ended story telling.

I think Tychus's fate is ambiguous.

Quoted from the Blizzcon 2010 SC2 lore-panel:

-- 23:33 -- Q. [Man #9]: Thank you and is Tychus actually dead?

Chris: Well I guess I’ll say, if I had my way and I know this would be unpopular, I would say, “Totally.” However, the artists on the dev teams they refuse to believe that Tychus is dead. They envision him with tentacles coming out of his face and things like that, so we’ll see who wins that war when we get back home, but you never know. You never know with us.

Brian: Does anybody ever really die?

Chris: Right. I mean, “Right”.


Seems to me that they envision Tychus dead unless there will be a huge fan pressure saying otherwise. Kinda like Star Wars and Boba Fett, if the character's cool enough, he can be edited in somehow. But with 95% certainty, I'd say he ain't coming back.

It's the least I can do.

Very interesting find... I would assume the bullet was for Mengsk but as Findlay points out "I made a deal with the devil Jimmy. She dies I go free." So Raynor had one of two options kill his friend or let Kerrigan die and have the prophecy come true according to the Dark Voice...

Kinda OT: I do like Valerian and Warfield just not Mengsk. Dominion isn't as bad it's just their leader is corrupt beyond corrupt. Maybe we will see more of them in the expansions?


I dunno... Valarian has only shown he's willing to work with whoever to attain his goal of becoming a great leader. Isn't that basically the same attitude young Mengsk had? Who says when he takes over he won't be as bad?

I do like Warfield, though. No politics there... just straight leadership and war tactics.

Show nested quote +

Yup, hes been saving that bullet since SC1 to avenge Kerrigan. I think its fitting that he uses it to save her - defiantly a trade I would make if I was in his position.


Great point... I had forgotten most of his hatred for Mengsk is due to what he did to Kerrigan. Forgoing vengeance to save her is a logical step.


Ehhhh, in the expanded universe Valerian has basically shown himself to be a generally overall good guy, who has a dislike for his father but understands where he's coming from (without knowing the real truth).

Sharp eye you got there mister, nice observation. I think the campaign has loads of little things that make me giggle when I noticed it the second, third play through.

or just the zerg come back after you leave and infest his body

then he can be the big bad boss of one of the expansions

Because if he had uncovered a solution he would have freed Tychus earlier than that moment. No reason to let him continue living with the guillotine hanging over his head.
