![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/cJftuNw.jpg) Got a couple of funny screenshots, probably should of taken more. First one is for the mission you have 10 minutes to finish. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Ln5db1U.jpg) Second one is just a thank god its over moment maybe wouldn't of felt so amazing if I wasn't gimped on 100 solarite. Those 12 extra seconds were also nice. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/2q5MQOm.jpg) Anyway anyone else finished this yet? | ||

7:14 on forbidden weapon... HOW?! Was proud of that. Having failed like 3 times to do it the right way I found a shortcut. + Show Spoiler + Rush straight to DT build nothing else clear the first prism/cannon with brute force then move up to the left most pylon powered doorway if you hug the gateway in the middle you can see on the other side then use the 3 beam attack (forget its name second ability 3rd tier) to hit the pylon, then just dodge the next cannon save up for the ability again (you should have 4-6 dts) then run up the ramp past all the prism places to the top left corner disable the cannons with the ability then wait for the cd and get the last 2 and win. | ||

 2.2Billions seems to me impossible.. How did you guys do it? I'm doing dts on all the 3 sides with lots of canons and the other defensive building, at the top I placed dragooners. I use my solarcore abillity to destroy the overseers at the beginning it works with no problem but at the end they just keep comming. Any ideas/advices? | ||

Had mothership at the top, it can take care of a lot on it's own, but ultimately can delay if needed. Whenever a huge armade fleet come, you have to use all your units, not just one of the lanes. Used the Pylon radius speed boost ability from Spear of Adune helps a ton! Excess Minerals should be spent on building a Photon Cannons shell around the the 'unbuildable area' where the artifact is. Good Luck Commandor.. | ||

How to do the Anvil of Will achievement "Hold out until 2.2 billion Zerg arrive on Shakuras in the "Last Stand" mission on Hard difficulty? I spam as many cannons as there is space and those random Teslacoilcannons and have Dark Templars with revive ability. I also have around 20 Stalkers to hold off air units but I can only get to 2.1 billion and then I've lost everything. What's the key here? | ||

Surround the middle area with exclusively tesla coil towers, then surround them by mulitple layers of shield batteries. You need a few more tesla towers towards the air lane. I don't make any Stalkers at all, I'm basically maxed on DT's and then towards the terrain between the spawning points. You build Photon Cannons and surround them with Shield Batteries. I managed to get to 2.45 billion, by having no more space to build anything and having only a thin line that DT's can run through. | ||

Hostbusters was the most satisfying; final 45 seconds before 24 minutes, 2 pre-softened life Void Crystals remaining with full shields, bum rushed the one closest to main base with 7 carriers, 40 probes, and 12 zealots to throw off the shard using its instant death ray beam, Arbiter waiting at edge of final Shard on other side of map, had the guardian shield passive so i see a bunch of invincible probes working away at Shard.... at 20 hp i bunch up my now 4 repaidly dying remaining carriers, recall to arbiter, charge in on final shard, solar bombardment cooldown flashes at 23:45, fucking thing goes down at 23:55 on probably 90th attempt. Had a lot of fun trying to figure out some of these, kudos to Blizzard to designing achievements on the edge of possibility. | ||

I've tried a few things like walling alarak off with nexus and it works, but it's a pretty big commitment and it's still not enough unless you fine-tune the other defenses including what your army comprises of for that final wave. with the carrier strat though, you can pair it up with a bunch of arbiters, one on each side to start with, then once you have enough carriers you can split them up for each side as per normal. this way they retain a lot of units, you start stockpiling minerals since you're maxed out and you're not losing anything yourself. by the time the last wave hits you'll have close to 3k to spend on random buildings like walling off those highground ramps to the xelnaga device, cannons, so on and so-forth. if you're having trouble in the last wave, once they start to break through, just group everything together and use stasis on the ramps to buy yourself some valuable time. if you like being active, try splitting up some corsairs for d-web at the large ramps, and then all you have to worry about is the golden armada in the later waves. | ||

I think corsairs are really underrated for doing the mission. A couple of corsairs sucks, but if you have 2 groups of 5-10, they can very reliably keep anything on the ground alive. Just make sure you always a-move them so they don't all cast disruption web at once. They smart cast it, but if you move and then a-move, they all acquire a target at the same time and all fire, wasting the cooldown. Combine it with some of the OP red immortals(seriously, they 2 shot hybrid and 1 shot most other units) on the ground for cleanup, and just use excess money on cannons/simcity around the keystone. For air defense I mostly relied on a roving band of about 20 corsairs and cooldowns. Once the last wave comes (there is no way to defend against that many units that I know of), simcity the shit out of the middle and run all surviving arbiters to just stasis stuff. Keeping alarak alive is absolutely pointless. While his damage and abilities are absolutely nuts in the hands of a microable unit(eg dash>Q>retreat), in the hands of AI which frequently Q's into charge into death, short of walling him off he's dead. Also putting 1-2 arbiters on each side can help tremendously in keeping stuff alive. | ||

Hope this is the right place to post as there is evidently some people here who have %100 the game. The thread is here, but basically, as far as I understood it, each of the 4 zerg bases has a hybrid, and a 5th one spawns in the last base after releasing the first 3 sets of purifiers. So release the first 3 sets; they will kill those hybrids for you, and then go directly to the last base and finish the rest of them off. | ||

What you're describing is the mastery achievement "Monster Hunter" though ^^ For "Power Overwhelming": Well, one Purifier force is released when you destroy three Null Circuits. Since you can play on Normal for that achievement, simply destroy the first six and then split your army in half and simultaneously attack the last six in the remaining two areas. | ||

I always get rolled when there is the first big push coming for Artanis and Zagara at the same time. I think the best advice there is after securing the earlygame (tank up Artanis' base) start massing spectres, cloak them and sit them in the zergs base. They don't run out of cloak. The only problem becomes splash damage and banelings. I made a wall of them at 90% and used kerrigan to snipe banelings and void thrashers. The hardest part is surviving the earlygame with artanis though, he dies so easily. If you can get past that, reload saves until you get it | ||

I killed one thrasher with banshees because I reached 15 kills with Kerrigan already. I definitely think I could have killed more thrashers with banshees so Kerrigan can kill more other stuff but I was still able to get the achievement. I'd imagine killing more thrashers with banshees gives you more freedom to use kerrigan for other stuff. I originally used mass tanks for brutal but this achievement on hard felt easier than beating the mission on brutal at all. Maybe the brutal -> hard difficulty reduction helped me. | ||

WoL was probably the biggest pain in the ass. I had to replay the whole thing twice. Once to get conversations and play Lost Vikings, and again to do the speed run. The speed run on normal was actually really easy, I even got all the research and I think I still did it in about 4 and a half hours. (Of course I still played brutal on the timed missions; the third and last ones.) The two hardest things to do in WoL was the Drakken Laser mission (kill 50 protoss buildings on hard) and Lost Vikings. I didn't have flying units and it was hard to get up the ramp in the laser mission. In retrospect, I should have used floating barracks. As for lost vikings... well, it took me a while to realize that you can shoot faster than just holding down the space bar. But once I did, and got good at it, it became addictive. I've played it several times now, my high score is 840k. (You need 500k to get all the achievements.) In HotS, the hardest achievement was definitely the third mission; killing the whole terran base before that queen's reinforcements. The rest of them were pretty fun. Some of the fun mastery achievements of note were killing the hybrids with neuralled terran units, beating the Kerrigan micro mission in under 12 minutes, and beating the first Korhal mission before the last drop pod. LotV was pretty easy, maybe the easiest of the three to get the achievements, but it was still fun. A lot of them you get with either only DTs or mass void rays. I can't think of any that were especially hard, that had me trying over and over, like with the third HotS mission, but there were definitely a few that I had to try twice, one or two that took three tries. If I had to think of which one was the hardest, it would either be The Host (second last of the main missions) or the Kerrigan laser drill mission, which was the most fun. I'd say that the hardest achievement to get in all of the campaigns is the Lost Viking gold achievement. I guess that's a little disappointing, since that's not even a challenge from playing Starcraft. The mastery missions (and "Hard" missions in WoL) were really fun, but I wish there were harder ones. I'd like to see some new achievements added. Particularly, achievements that require brutal mode. | ||

I've been playing at a pcbang in Korea but I neglected to copy my saves to my external HD so now I'm like 10 missions in but all my progress has been lost. I suppose I could just set it to casual and blaze through them as fast as I can, but.. meh. This is already a big enough hassle in that I have to re-set and re-download the language to English every time I come.. EDIT: Hm. tried it again and it appears my save exists on the cloud. Wasn't there last time I tried, but.. cool! | ||
