Not sure that many people know, but this mission is easily doable in 4 minutes, even on Brutal. I made a picture guide for anyone interested in how this is done on Brutal. Most of it is just finding the exact positioning needed to blink without getting trapped. Guide is in spoilers.

I did it on normal in 3:24 for fun, there is a bit less detection then but I roughly took the same path.

This reminds me of the brilliant strategy in the Protoss BW mission Insurgency, when Aldaris turns on you at the worst possible time and you gotta take him down. I saw a video of someone beat that mission in less than a minute with perfect timing on MCing a patrolling shuttle and then Aldaris himself.

I did the same a couple of days ago, nice of you to make a guide since I couldn't be arsed.

However I also got all research points when spending 6 minutes the try after, which when you think of it is even nicer, but then lower times are cool aswell.

The last time I called someone a "sneaky motherfucker" was when WhiteRa mothershipped Tester on Steppes. You, sir, deserve that, for this is absolutely badass.

It's important that you blink into the small area of non detection instantly, or you will lose your entire shield to the ultralisks. This will make it pretty much impossible to reach objective 3

Atleast that is how I did it. But it seems like my tactic was a bit different from the one OP uses.

How do you get the complete all objective achievement without getting the protoss research points from the obelisks? Is the mission just over so fast the objective never shows up?

There's a trick to the level before this one too but it's much easier to pull off and it's much more obvious.

I did it on another playthrough is the easy answer. I didn't unlock the secret mission on my first and decided to redo it all and take all the achievements at the same time.

Still, just sending your 2 collosi to the left and have a probe build a suicide pylon, and send in like 4 stalkers to the right together with zeratul and do the same isnt a problem. After that just continue your ninja journey solo with Zeratul.

Took me 6:xx minutes to do that on hard and achieve all objectives.

I found a bit safer route from 2 to 3, and the sliver of non-detection that makes it possible.
