Some tip for the Step of rite.(kill ma'lash guardian without killing any tal'darim.

Requirement : Void ray + Time stop and Mass recall ability.

First : rush void ray as fast as possible while defend the first wave of void entity.

Second : after first wave and you got 4-5 void ray. keep pumping VR but now you can go kill guardian. first look at you Time stop ability. if it cooldown nearly finish. then go to the deepest one first . try to move from side of the map for avoiding enemy .
when you got close the target. use the time stop and go straight for the guardian. kill them as fast as possible and then recall back to the base. after that go for top right guardian and recall again.
*from this time you must have atleast 2 starport.


if your time stop don't finish yet before you moveout then kill the first guardian on the right top of the map. again avoid enemy line by move VR from side of the map, circle around their line until you reach the guardian. after that you can go for left top guardian.

Third : now terrazine will rise again. defend your base why keep build VR (you need atleast 10+) but you can split mineral for other unit if you want. for now wait until terrazine subside and keep building your army.

Fourth : now terrazine will subside and tal'darim will attack you with their fleet. you have to move quick. first if you have land unit left , make sure move them away from tal'darim force so they don't kill any enemy and make this mission fail(send them into the enemy base and have them kill is a easy way).now go for the bottom left guardian , again move your void ray to the side of the map as close as possible to avoid enemy. kill guardian and leave. and go for the last guardian. check for Time stop cooldown be sure it's finish before you advance. or if you have enough force. go straight and kill the guardian. try to finish them out before tal'darim destroy all you base.

The cheese way to get the Terazine Fog level mastery is to make DTs and a couple more Void Rays or Stalkers to deal with the fog pushes, while flying Corsairs around the edges of the map and using Solar Lance on the guardians, you can also use the Purifier Beam to kill one (don't use Solar Bombardment or you will kill some Taldarim units as well). You should be able to win the mission just as the Taldarim fleet attacks your base, just move all your units somewhere else to make sure you don't kill one, near the end Scouts will come to kill your Corsairs, make sure you don't let them kill the Scouts and just split up your Corsairs so they leave one of them alone so you can still Solar Lance the last guardian.

Just a note on this one is that you get attacked at the 11-12 min mark by Taldarim forces which you CANNOT kill. Make sure you have no cannons or attacking forces in your base.

But yeah time stop / recall makes this mission pretty easy.

While doing the mastery achievement on the "Forbidden Weapon" mission I encountered a severe bug which made it trivial. I started the mission from the master archives, and after a lot of saving and reloading I decided to restart the mission to try a new tactic.

However after restarting, I had all spear of adun abilities unlocked, and all units were unlocked. This meant that I could simply warp in an arbiter, sail it away to the temple and recall a single zealot there. I tried to reproduce the bug by starting the mission again from master archives and then saving, reloading, restarting without luck. Has anyone else encountered this bug in another mission?

I read somewhere that someone had this issue where they were reloading and testing some stuff and suddenly all possible tech was unlocked at one point and let them bypass a lot of stuff. That would definitely make it pretty trivial. Never seen it myself though.

Finally finished these things, no more campaign for me. I was doing 1-2 masteries a day while messing around with co-op and other games. I look forward to the speed runs and fun strategies that people come up with though.

One way to make the "Solo Operative, Right?" achievement even easier is to use Miraj's strategy but also include Fenix/Talandar in your Spear of Adun abilities.That crazy ole' bot can soak up bullets for a solid 30 seconds and kill a few tough enemies on his own, drastically reducing the amount of force needed to push through to the same locations, meaning that it's more than worth the economic hit you'll get early in the level to enable him. A few Sentinels and up to a dozen Archons will do the trick if you drop Talandar on the defenders just before going in. I bet there are other ways to use him for Mastery achievements, too.

From another thread:

On November 21 2015 04:40 Unit 731 wrote:
For a lot of achievements which involve destroying specific targets like "Monster Hunter," I've found the Tal'darim Mothership is like Chuck Norris. It has crazy-powerful offensive abilities and its beam can one-shot most ground units, including Hydralisks. Two or three shots will blast apart a crawler defense. You can fast-tech to a Fleet Beacon and Blink-spam (It recharges in just 8 seconds.) the Mothership everywhere and snipe ground forces. Recommend using Talandar, Orbital Strike or Solar Lance, and Reconstruction Beam to support it. Pulling off Phael's tactic is easy with the Mothership. West, north, east null circuits and then the southern Behemoths. I needed only a modest home guard force and spammed offensive support powers when I went up against the Behemoths. The Mothership was the only unit I had anywhere outside of my base or the perimeter of the core the entire time. I maneuvered it around the bulk of the defending Zerg forces, which is easy to do with the spammable Blink. I then lazily finished the mission, coming in at a dozen seconds under 19 minutes, and I know more skilled players could make an even bigger mockery of this level using the Mothership. It's really too bad you have to choose between the Mothership and Carriers in the campaign, because the Mothership as part of a carrier fleet would be dangerously concentrated AWESOME in the final levels.


Sorry, I don't mean to self-promote or anything, it's just this is a very fun and useful way to do this achievement and I thought people here might like it.

TD ones are much tougher than the others, but I managed to complete salvation and essence of eternity on brutal (with a lot of saves/loads whenever I mis-microed and lost a unit).

But despite many hours of attempts, Last Stand appeared to be mathematically impossible on brutal, regardless of the player's skills or number of saves.

Although with the exception of 4 missions that I found impossible or unfeasible, I did the mastery achievements on brutal for the challenge, but still doing so was the most frustrating experience I ever had in SC2.

Yea doing them on Brutal is a hell of a challenge, I couldn't do it. As for Last Stand on Brutal, I think Destiny was able to pull it off so I'm sure it is possible, but just takes a lot of constant attention and building, things I just couldn't pull off but I'm sure other players out there are already figuring out 2.5b+ on Brutal with positioning and timings.

Yea, it might take some time I'd imagine, but for missions like that where you can't really speed run them, then the challenge for people is lasting as long as possible. I'd bet someone out there is chain-running the mission and working different strategies and timings so they can get some insane duration on Brutal. That person is not me.

Thanks, I will check these out if i have problems. I love achievements that require skill and APM. There were some in WoL and HotS that I found really challenging. So far I only played the missions on brutal and only one (the last non-epilogue mission where you defend the artifact) was difficult to beat.

I'm also a bit proud that I made the second Mastery achievement on the fly on brutal ('destroy a hatchery in the first 6 minutes'). Those of you who seek a blink micro challenge, this is a tough one
