Ended up trying even with the cheat code (TookTheRedPill) to see the entire map at the beginning of the mission. Does it spawn later on or something? You just have to protect the science facility until the end of the mission. Its in the center right where the first enemies make contact with the defenders at the start of the game. Listen to the voice over during the mission, they will talk about it and then you'll see an icon on the minimap you have to protect. | ||

It's silly that they are most effective and you shouldn't use better units.so how did u guys kill the xanthos? i ended up killing it with battlecruisers and missile turrets surrounding its platform after it had made 11 runs there must be a better way Another thing that I didn't like that if you call down nuke while cloaked the enemy will instantly scan and attack you. Which wasn't a problem, but it's still stupid. | ||

Ended up replaying it to get the achievement, nothing but marines with the occasional turret/bunker which I'd place farther up to slow the xanthos down so my army could rotate. Marines made it a cake walk. Plus, the final form...where it charges up in a straight line for like 10 seconds...you can basically solo that entirely with 1 marine if you want to. | ||

I activate it every time I drop a nuke. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + If you bring the psychocontrol device to the last mission, is there a non-lethal option or do have to kill her? | ||

I tried replaying it with mass marines. Quite comfortably managed to kill all the enemy bases and Xanthos in 30 minutes. Thanks for the tip! =) | ||
