Some achievements are so hard to get. The one where Nova has to kill 333 units. I always get so close but cant beat it. Or there is another one on Night terrors where you must not kill any tal darim units. And a couple more but those are the ones I tried the most and couldnt get them

I've gotten Night Terrors - Friendly Competition a while ago so it might be changed, but you can find a couple of ways to do it. Besides avoiding the protoss going for the devices, the attack wave to your base can be stalled with ebays and repairing scvs to get the acheivement done on hard. On brutal, they send a lot more than on hard and have attack upgrades.

Nova killing 333: Make like 15-20 nuclear silos. You don't even have to saturate or make units, just roam with Nova, and when they start bringing the big waves, nuke each of them. The only vision they have is the mothership, so pretty easy to just stand there and nuke the hell out of every wave from all directions and they can't kill you. Once they converge and start forming in the middle, each nuke is killing 30-40+ units. If this still fails, I can give you an even cheesier strat, but it's a bit more work. Good luck!

Finished it today. Really fun. I only wish the next one has more macro missions that rewards you for taking expansions.

Got the 2 achievements! Thanks for the tips. The wall to delay the tal darim wasnt needed cauze I switched Nova's equipement and also made mass liberators and only 2-3 Ravens instead of half half like I used to.

As for the 333 achievement I did it with mass Nukes. I didnt know you could get the achievement without finishing the mission

Maybe thats why i couldnt get. I was paying so much attention to preparing my base.

Now there's only 1 left. The one with the 4 minute stealth run. Any tips

Jetpack+stim and whatever makes you faster/survive. For boss use lightsaber sword, there's a window where you 100-0 him real fast before the drones come.

Checkout some videos on youtube if you want to see the fastest route, but as riotjune said, jetpack/stim/sword is the fastest because they all give you speed boosts of some kind and the ability to skip content with the leaps and dashes. You will want the "can detect stealth units" visor before the boss so you can see him, but some videos use mind control to open doors before swapping to detection visor and fighting boss.

Did it in 3:29 with jet pack, stim and sword. Exchanged visors to detection visor before last fight. Can't imagine world record being much faster than 3:10 with perfect use of dash and stim.

That is fast. I did it in 3:37 with the exact same set-up and strategy, and, most importantly, a nice youtube video to watch so you know where the hell to go. First time I did this mission I clocked in at 45 minutes or so.

I assume this means you covered every inch of the map and discovered... everything.

Well, you know, I visited the canals, killed some bad guys, found a stray Thor, taught him to kill some bad guys and repaired his broken hammer, visited the main square and got an ice cream there, killed some bad guys, had a coffee, killed some bad guys, got a sun burn... You know, the usual stuff when going on vacation. Unfortunately I hadn't read the lonely planet issue on Vardona, so missed out on the hidden yoga club.

I only learned of that later on.

You can go back and say hello. The benefits of doing so can be used on the following maps.

I only discovered the wonders of yoga after completion, but upon returning, I found myself with a newfound way of approaching the problems of life on Vardona.

Just replayed seventh mission to find hidden yoga club! Didn't realize you would also get a new weapon. That weapon would have made it easier killing 333 units on the next mission.

Just finished Nova 100% achievements. Way better than Lotv and Hots imo and only second to Wol because of nostalgia and because of Raynor

. Every mission in Nova is unique and has a lot of replayability. Cant say that for Lotv. It seems like totally different people worked for those.

I wish BLizzard made more campaigns. I would pay a lot for a new one. Nova covert ops was such a blast. RIP sc ;(

Now that is an idea... I still have to get that 333 kills achievement.
