Arcturus Mengsk betrayed Sarah Kerrigan and left her to die with to the Zerg. Because of this, he lost Raynor's loyalty. In this mission we have to shut down the Ion cannon so we can safely get off the planet, without getting shot from the sky. I decide to do so with a whole lot of Battlecruisers.

![ALL DANCES & EMOTES! [STARCRAFT 2]](/img/1.gif)
That Mengsk speech is so iconic, I remember quoting a few lines in a non-SC/Blizzard forum yet immeadiately folks recognize those lines. One of the best parts of the first game 🤩
When Mengsk's mask drops and rants to Raynor that was one of the biggest things I remember as well
Mengsk's speech is still one of my all-time favorite game cinematics. It's perfect.
nice pic :)
As someone who played the original Starcraft/brood war a ton when i was younger, it’s so cool to see someone experience the story and play through for the first time!
The minerals are so far away from gas so that you could build several CCs and have tons of comsat stations and nuclear silos. There is no such rule as "1 base=1 CC" :) Go ahead, build 2 or 3! Have scans for days! Minerals are quite excessive in these missions. Same goes for hatcheries in the next campaign: you shall want to have alot of those if possible and distance between resources can help you with that. Same goes for the Protoss Nexi actually and that is not that useful compared to other races :)
The computer does not expand his bases. You can check that simply by using the cheatcode for map (black sheep wall). However they can research upgrades over time. And since the enemy is mining that means the later you capture his base, the less minerals you'll have on that base should you decide to expand there.
The multiple base buildings(Hatcheries) on the same base is also especially useful for Zerg. Extremely useful since there is no SC2 queen ability.
Also, I think Blizzard tried to make minerals appear more "natural" in the campaign so they aren't arranged to fit perfectly with a CC. There's a mission on Char where there's only a single Vespene Geyser somewhere on the high ground.
@TheHalogen131
Exactly this. It's a friggin' campaign, it's supposed to be natural and immersive, not perfectly symmetrical as seen in multiplayer maps. Lowko is entertaining to watch and all, but he can also be so dumb when he tries and makes comments about these things...
Sverr however, given that you can harvest infinite amount of gas in sc1, eventually you will end up having no enough minerals to do anything serious. I even end up building a ton of archons as forces late game in some Protoss missions.
TheHalogen131 this happens in a few multiplayer maps as well.
It's surprising how often and ferociously the enemy attacks in SC1. I would often get caught with my pants down in the campaign with a random AI nuke or massive attack.
Same here. Even coming in as an adult player, the counterattacks here are surprisingly strong versus sc2 campaigns.
yes.. I had my units wiped out even when i had the best positioning of Marines, Siege Tank, etc. I had to set up checkpoints of Bunkers, tanks, and Turrets so i can rally and reinforce safely. I do miss that aspect of SC1 compred to SC2. SC2 you just steamroll it. *I recall in WoL that I did not lose a single unit.
Fun fact ; That part in the briefing at the beginning where Mengsk goes "I will not be stopped,not by you of the Confederates, or the Protoss or Anyone! I will rule this sector or see it burnt to ashes around me." is the exact clip used in Wings of Liberty when you broadcast Mengsk's message, the one where Tychus unleashes the Giant thor on Korhal.
Finally! He know what Lockdown is. By get hit with it again and again.
He attempted this mission in the previous episode with wraiths and got locked down pretty hard. I'm kinda surprised he attempted this mission with battlecruisers, which are even more vulnerable. I also notice he didn't take down the white base.
if you carry a sciense vessel with the battlecruisers for detection and a occasional emp the ghosts are not an issue
RoBOtic Rebel but you need to be on point with the EMPs on the ghosts, because those lockdowns cast faster than EMPs.
Even if he can only mitigate the lockdown damage, the science vessel's detection would still be worthwhile imo. Not to mention missile turrets back home.
That Mengsk grand speech in the end of Terran Campaign is the reason why I want him to be added in Heroes of The Storm! Just imagine him talking big on the battlefield, bolstering his allies (well, maybe at a cost, a terrible one sometimes...) and depress enemies, calling down the might of the Dominion and turning usual Keeps/Forts into unbreakable Bastions of Terran forces! Oh yeah...
P.S. Lowko had witnessed the power of mass Battlecruisers. And their respectable Captains with heavy Russian accent :)
Well, he also has witnessed the power of lockdown
BTW, the BC captain is more in line with the original Macross captain.
Who turned to be Russian too :)
"Oh really?"
I think maybe a map dedicated to him would be more apt. He doesn't strike me as the fighting type like Raynor or Nova, but a politician. So an announcer pack or map would probably work better.
Arcturus Mengsk will be able to sit in a palace and launch orbital nuclear strikes while talking to the other team with loud speakers.
Personally the mineral and gas placement is one of my favorite things about this game.
To me it feels far more natural then the perfect base set-up in SC2.
It was a pretty sick touch how Mengsk's voice changed in pitch and tone everytime it cut away to a new perspective
I always view it as that the Zerg and Protoss are actually listening to his speech and that is how they receive the signal
13:57 Nuclear launch detected. Game honestly tried to warn you Lowko.
he's doing 2 things at once - playing and commenting for us. Maybe if he only concentrated on playing he would notice it
Cant wait for zerg campaign, it is awesome and you will like it a lot.
Tnx for this playthrough, it is very entertaining, I love it!
The Zerg campaign in the original one is imho the best one by far. The Terran and Protoss campaign imo feel lackluster in comparison.
I'm looking forward to him hearing the Overmind's voice for the first time. The briefing he gives you at the beginning was my favorite dialogues when I was a kid along with all the lines from Mission 4. :)
I didn't like the zerg campaign that much compared to the others. I thought that a lot of the dialogue was corny.
Frankly they are all extremely good compared to SC2
Not sure if you refer to the overmind, but consider that he was based on Old Testament God and you might see why his lines might seem overly dramatic - he is literally in the process of creating... well, his creation. The Creation. Everything that ever was and will be. For the Zerg, rather than humans.
Old Testament God is REALLY freaky from an alien perspective, or anytime you're not his chosen children.
I discovered something funny about Yamato Cannon vs Gun. If you make custom hotkeys in SC2, there's a file stored on your hard drive with all the non-default hotkeys in your setup, and it actually says Yamato Gun. So I guess in the code of SC2, they still use "gun"
Thanks Lowko for starting this playthrough, brings back so many memories. Quality content as always, keep it up!
1:33 in the WoL campaign you find an old confederate adjutant that has this transmission stored on it, and leak said transmission to the press
Arcturus may be an ass, but this speech was epic. My second favorite cutscene of originals(most favorite being Amerigo demo squad)
Oh yesss. Amerigo was absolutely incredible. My second favourite was the Wraith Squad destroying that Multiplayer Satelite :D YEEEEEHAAAAAWW!
Crusthide Fenix' fight was pretty funny. "Aw yeah, we're gonna see Fenix slice the z-uhh... Oh crap"
Not that smart or creative, really. It's always "Illegal aliens are threatening us, all bow to me!"
The amazing thing is that people always seem to fall for it.
You will be suprised, but getting "smart and creative" won't get you far when adressing a crowd
He was a LOT better at emphasizing the threat than many others doing a similar address, however. This guy rhetorics.
When I see you beat the Terrran campaign, I feel like I need to finish the Zerg campaign.
BlitzRaider I finally finished full brood war play through couple nights ago. First time without using cheats! Lol
So that means that I need to finish the protoss one.
Brett Jacobson i remembered when i used to play the first time... poweroverwhelming was a must. Glad to be able to play without it now
It's still ok now but only in protoss templars
The arm floating in space with a smoking cigarette is completely impossible since there's no oxygen to keep the fire going. Surely they realized that when remastering it but somehow kept it faithful to the original, that's dedication...!
Unsure, the cigarette itself may hold enough oxygen for smoldering.
I think they're just re-rendering their old work files, seeing how different the artstyle is, and exactly the same as it was in SC1
Can we appreciate Mengsk's voice actor?
He starts so calm, friendly, /humane/. When he needs something, he luls you with his demeanor and straight facts, just "we all obviously want to do this"
Whenever someone would oppose, he instantly shuts them, but also explains why "it must be done".
Once the jig is up, he knows there's 1% chance you'd keep working with him, but he tries with his grand entrance.
When Jim shuts him, he sounds angry. Listen. He's not angry. He now knows there is no chance for continued alliance, so he switches on a dime and makes himself a threat: "I am busy becoming Emperor, so you two worms better make sure that once I'm done, I don't even remember you ever existed".
Famous last word in the entire sc2 universe
ZERG!
Time to shower and get ready for clas-
*Lowko Uploaded SC Remastered*
Class can wait.
"You better come with me" - I think we were matt horner during SC1
I've been playing star craft one for the first time, and then watching your videos on battles after I complete them.
I am so ashamed at how simple the solutions are.
Bases were designed in such a way that it is practical to bulid 2 ommand centers in each one. That way, you have the opportunity to operate a nuclear silo and a comsat station at the same time. So you have access to nukes, and scouting at the same time, and you don't have to build 2 CCs just for that purpose. But you can mine minerals from the first and gas from the second.
That feeling when the AI in a 200 year old RTS is better than in Age of Empires 4, released last week 2021.
13:42 yeah... I am a casual player and have a bad habit of being a defensive turtle and figured that out the hard way. And to this day they still say that nukes fell from the sky like water in a rainstorm...
That cinematic speech was interesting. I did not realize that there are audio mixed during Mengsk's speech when shown the Zerg and Protoss. (They were listening in to his broadcast signal. Very interesting.)
Uh, finally Mr. Lowko finished terran campain. Can't wait u start II episode. Getting ton of enjoy sitting in chair with the cup of tea and watching ur game. Start II episode ASAP no matter the cost!
Around 14 minutes, you missed the "Nuclear lauch detected" warning because you are spamming orders that triggered the "Not enough minerals" warning above it. This is StarCraft 1 Lowko so stop spamming like if you were in multiplayer for SC2 :)
I missed that too. Lowko should be more careful. Especially once he gets to missions on Korhal in Brood War ;)
Brood War is a different league on its own when we talk of nukes. but let's not spoil the surprise for Lowko. I will enjoy the pop-corn until he learn the hard truth.
Oh yesss. That's one of my favourite missions! Especialy the one with a subtitle "Ground Zero" ;), but both are cool and actually quite innovative. You really have to think quickly. No A-moving there! Have you tried the Vulture strat yourself? I tried it but I always had too low APM to actually pull it off. I hope I'm not spoiling too much!
I can't wait till he gets to the Protoss mission where you need to control Tassadar and a small army. Lots of 'surprises' on that map. :D
Oh right. That mission was a nightmare for me when I was a child. What I personally look forward to is Battle on the Amerigo cinematic. I hope Lowko appreciates that work of art.
When I played this, I got nuked twice in a row, and Raynor died both times.
when i played it, i went to destroy the white base after killing the red and it took me forever lol
I like how Lowko still refuses to use Comsat Station to scout map without losing units Kappa
Also whoever told him about AI starting in campaign with small bases that grow in time either didn't play campaigns or straightforward lied.
Anyway good job Lowko on finishing Episode 1 and I'm looking forward to further videos!
Well the truth is, enemy does get stronger in time. Amasses an army and sends higher tier units. They don't start with smaller bases, but the longer you wait, the harder it will be to break them.
With that I can agree. But still, "it takes 4.5 years" to get to the point where attacks are really scary ;)
@TheHalogen131 The AIs start with 10k minerals and gas, and attack according to a script. The attacks get stronger, but you should be getting stronger too. Eventually, they run out of resources and die miserably. It's slow and boring to turtle like that but quite effective.
The ai is such a pain in this mission. You don't need to much then just a bunch of marines and some drop ships, it's just the random nuke drops and irradiates you have to deal with
I finished the Zerg campaign, and I think you're going to love it Lowko. The Overmind from the original Starcraft is my favorite character. He has the most badass sounding voice and the coolest dialogue in my opinion. It's funny with the way he talks you would think the Zerg were the good guys of the story. I always appreciated the way Blizzard messed with your expectations like that in Starcraft 1, it truly is a work of art. Anyways, I look forward to watching you play it, I have enjoyed your perspective and input on the story and lore. Hope to see more soon, thanks for the content.
Menks rebels, then literally 5 seconds after he is in some position of power he's like "omg plz stop rebelling now is not the time"
Battlecruisers are Always how i won every Terran mission from here on out as a kid theycwere so cool!
campaing ai is kinda same as you said, but they dont have small base at the end and they dont expand to new bases, sometimes they retake their older expansion tho. But they start with small attacks, in time it gets bigger bigger so yes it gets harder in time
I love that the campaigns don't have perfectly positioned minerals/gas. The places don't seem as realistic in the SC2 campaigns when you drop down there and it's a perfect setup.
And this is why Medics are very valuable to have in your army/fleet. Enemy locks your units, you dispel them with Restoration :D Too bad they won't appear until BW. But in the meantime, enjoy the SC1 storyline, Lowko o/
(I sent you a pm, btw, hope it helps!)
@LowkoTV , I don't know if you will read this since I am a bit late, maybe someone else pointed it out(though I don't think there are warships fanatics here), but Yamato cannon/gun it's actually a reference to the Space Battleships Yamato's Wave Motion Gun, this making part of a movie. The Yamato-class battleship was the biggest warship ever constructed with a 72kilotons displacement(compared to 57kt Iowa and 54kt Tirpitz) and guns of 460mm(compared to 406mm of Iowa). This is a nice reference.
"you dont seem to realize the situation im in here.. I will not be stopped... not by you or the confederates or the protoss or anyone.. I will rule this sector or see it burnt to ashes around me!" I love this line I use it as fuel everyday.
I know i'm late, but destroying white base is really fun for me despite there is a lot of ghosts and siege tanks. A lot of people choose not to destroy white base, just destroying red base and snipe the Ion Cannon. But when I play this mission, I choose destroy both red base and white base, then lastly destroy the Ion Cannon.
Yeah, i destroyed both enemy bases too. I use nukes on the white base then attack with siege tanks, goliaths, wraiths, and a science vessel.
Are the gaps between episodes supposed to be 2 days? I thought it was every other day. I could be wrong though.
the sc and sc brood war campaign deserve a brutal difficulty
Shot down an enemy Refinery and said there's no gas in that base (in the left of the map)... Nice one Lowko
I'm really enjoying you commentating while playing a game you don't have all the answers to. Glad you did this mostly blind.
Tom Buck His job is done in the internet. He already knows Kerrigan's full arch, knows of Tassadar and Fenix, probably even the Conclave
In the summer holidays, I spent so long trying to beat hammer falls but I got nuked so many times, and the ghosts are so powerful. I haven't actually watched the video yet, bet if you beat it, congratulations.
that poor marine. being a good little scout and suddenly 8 BCs come up and leave not even a smoking crater behind lols
I took the gas on the right edge of the map, NE of your starting location. There is a Red BC guarding it. It's on the high ground, so idiot ghosts need to walk up a ramp to nuke you.
To take the ion cannon, you really need a lot of stuff. Lockdowns paralyze half your units, so just bring twice as much as you think you'll need, although 12 BC's is fine.
The computer opponents in the campaign are already built up at the beginning. However they do send increasingly strong waves of attackers at you as the mission goes on. Still, it's very easy to juts build a few defensive structures and watch their troops walk into them over and over.
My strat: build 2-3 CCs, lift them on top of the turrets, send in a dozen wraiths and a few BCs. Run towards the ion cannon.
22:10 is why I watch lowko
I am happy to hear that I am not the only one who had trouble with some of the Brood War missions if you are getting comments to the effects that they are all tricky. It got annoying when people kept telling me BW was not that bad. I have never finished the last BW mission without cheating, and since I lost my SC 1 discs a few years ago I haven't been able to try it again.
Oh my God. Always but always when the video ends I can't belive that this is happening.Just please upload more starcraft remaster content. Zerg will be my favorite too
This was a cliffhanger! I have waited so for this one =) Considering the Wraith storm failed im exited what your new tactics will be. Also I dont play further then you have done here so it has been kinda frustrating to wait! Anyway, have a good one!
My battle cruisers got totally destroyed by the Ghosts and lock downs in this mission. Kerrigan is no where near as badass as Overmind is. Zerg campain is great! The opening speech is really good!
What happend to the darkest dungeon man I miss it :( pls give us back the sweet vids of the darkest dungeon
Have a couple of science vessels follow your battlecruisers for detecting ghosts.
The wraith strategy works well, but you picked the wrong target. You can kneecap the red base on the left by swooping in and sniping the SCV's and taking out the command center. That cuts your opposition in half.
Lowko you are the best.
Ghosts arent used often in multiplayer but whenever they saw a game lockdown was used heavily
Lowko be like ''why didn't they design the singleplayer campaign maps with multiplayer SC2 based efficiency in mind?''
Magistrate Lowko. Status: Resigned.
Cerebrate Lowko. Status: Creating. Have fun with Daggoth, don't mind Zasz but do heed his advice.
That's one of my favorite things about original StarCraft and BW. You are YOU! You are the Magistrate, the Cerebrate, the Executor (although I think in SC1 Protoss campaign you actually "play" as Artanis, but I'm not sure). It makes you feel the immersion. Especially when
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT
Du'Galle rebukes Duran to speak to you properly, since you have higher rank than him :D
You are a Captain and Duran is a Lieutenant.
Indeed, that added a great deal to immersion. And yes, you are Artanis in Episode 3, although in 4 you're you, an Executor.
COUNTER SPOILERS WITH SPOILERS!
He was actually referring to himself. He was an honorable man(rest in digested pieces), but very sensitive about ranks. Although considering the place at which Duran ended up being, everyone around him is of higher rank and thus Gerard could've been speaking for everyone. We shall never know unless one of the points will be proven correct by the exchange itself when Lowko will get to it.
If I remember correctly he said exactly this:
Spoile... ResidentSleeper
"I suggest you pay a keen attention to rank when you address the Captain and myself, *Lieutenant* Duran." I loved that moment :D
Look for a Red dot Lowko, I found saw it one time before you mentioned it xD
USE STATIC DEFENCES it REALLY helps when trying to BOTH fight AND defend against attack in SC1
Science Vessels give very good support for BC's. They're detectors, EMP other science vessels, defensive matrix. I radiate Goliaths. Need Science vessels.
You're in for some ride with the zerg campaign mate..the Overmind is one of the best characters ever created by Blizzard!
Ahmad Sammy A shame they don't really hit on it's story, like at all, in the games. It's a tragic, but great story
coming up on a quarter of a million subs congrats
When you're playing zerg type in radio free zerg. It'll play a song. I think you'll like it. It only works when playing as zerg.
Help him see this so we can watch his reaction to the song!
mind to put numbering on the title for easier tracking the next episode continuosly
Flying hand in space holding a cigarette :3
Finally I've been waiting for this. Lowko can we get daily uploads?
12:57 Welcome to real life Starcraft.
Fun fact: For some reason I find this the hardest mission in all of SC1, including BW. This mission just hits you hard and often with Ghosts and Science Vessels, and I'm really bad at dealing with that.
21:34 then 22:09
*See's a notification from Lowko*
*Forfeits ranked match and opens RUclips*
*opponent forfeits* "wtf? I didn't even have the upper hand."
Opponent: Lowko uploaded. (gg) *forfeit*
"Oh, better go check that out."
*See's a notification from Lowko*
*Surrenders the Browncoat forces to the alliance and opens youtube*
YOU FUCKING WHAT? You traitorous alliance bootlicker.
Grave Hammer
You know, your coat is kind of a brownish color...
Try look Star Blazers(ENG)/Space Battleship Yamato(JPN) its old cartoon from year 1979, its about space battleship 'Yamato', one of main weapons was Wave Motion Gun, propably Blizzard have sentiment to old JPN cartoons.
Michał Bożek I love that show! It's awesome!
Yeah espesly new version: Space Battleship Yamato 2199
Hey lowko! I love these campaign play throughs, but could you pretty please add a number or episode count into each title/thumbnail? You did it with all of the others, and sometimes I miss a few weeks and start an episode with spoilers because I skipped one on accident.
Thanks!
yeah.. starcraft 1 was farm more army based. The spellcasters were definitely useful, but you only need a couple at a time. Units, as you saw, were more powerful on average compared to sc2
Episode 1 Rebel Yell ruclips.net/video/afwkU-U-Tzg/видео.html
Episode 2 Overmind ruclips.net/video/btVOsIFktxk/видео.html
Was only me the one thinking, that it would had been better to have one or two Science vessels here and there to help the units kills the ghosts? . It would have been helpfull if one was accompanying the Battlecruiser too
you really really should read the "what happened before" in the manual of the original cd, it is available on battle.net in pdf format :) really cool lore-wise
But haven't you played StarCraft 2's single player story campaign? You shoulda known Mengsk betrayed Kerrigan to the zerg causing Raynor to go renegade, and founded the Terran Dominion, being a corrupt leader just like the Confederacy was. He's the main villain in SC2 after Amon (sorry to remind everyone of that character). Anyway, If you're so excited, then hurry up and play through and upload these already.
i love the Zerg to because of that cruddy menski (sp) but I've got to support Sally all the way. that was a great mission I had a lot fo fun watching you clean their clocks heehee.. And this is the first time I've seen anyone use battlecruiser to kill the map.. maybe i will try that too.
Main question: Why does Lowko always tries to finish all objectives in SC2 but doesn't do so in sc1 campaign ... It would be fun to watch.
Locko are you for real? Meinsk betraing kerigan was big plot point in SC 2 wings of liberty, uncovering that information and then brodcasting it took like 1/3 of all missons. Including my favourite and one of moust quite missons. This mission was even reworked into co-op misson. (I'm talking about stopping the train
Viktor in SC2 you get it said very clearly he left her to the zerg and he left dice that lured the zerg it, and since Lokow played SC2 I find it rather odd for him to not notice.
he played the campaign when it was first released nearly 7 yrs ago. and only once i think he said. so mainly focused on Multi-player so i guess it never stuck and/or he forgot as a result of that.
shadowdragon714 I suppose that makes sense.
Also, remember that he said (2:07) that he knew that Mengsk betrayed Kerrigan, but he never knew how.
I'm at the end of the video, and I can't freaking wait until the start of the Zerg campaign!
Lol, I loved watching this. I remembered when I played this way back when, random ghosts would nuke my base. And I had the same expressions you had. Brought back the frustration. Eventually, I went mass BC, too! Lol, GG!
LOWKO! If minerals and gas are too far away from each other, just build another Command Center. Problem solved. :P
I'm disappointed that they didn't remake the cinematics with new and improved models, at least it's in HD, as goofy as the models may look.
If you get the chance Lowko, pick up the SC books. Alot of background info and really good reads.
I can just see all the retries for protoss mission 10 already if you have that much trouble with that mission. I can't react as fast but even I didn't have that much trouble. Zerg Campaign you'll enjoy for sure though. You'll be confused the first few missions.
Whoever said last game that you need a mix of units for this mission, you are wrong. Told ya pure battlecruisers would win this.
can we also talk about the fact that the confederate is literally using the confederate frag from civil war???
Lowko, can you from now and then switch between Remastered and original graphics during the mission briefings? I think it would be really really cool for you and us to see of the old portraits and comparing to the new ones... SC/BW for most of us is the old portraits. that's all we ever saw of some characters
lowko try build a missile turret and also a couple of science vessel to stop ghost and science vessel
Kinda reminds me of fuel rod gun from Halo reach and fuel rod cannon from Halo 4
You know what's funny? Despite Blizzard trying their best to make Raynor the good guy, Raynor never much of a problem following Arcturus and his crazy revenge plan of killing billions until his girlfriend was killed. No no no, everything else is barbaric but acceptable, but the second it gets his girl then it's time to pull the boys and start a rebellion.
I was waiting for this woo
this mission i always get about 5 or 6 cruisers slowly take the red base and use that as my expansion
Not sure if you know about it, but Gas is pretty much infinite in starcraft 1, when depleted, you get 2 insted of 4 per canister, shame it isent the case about minerals though.
心音希月 It starts at 8 per can until depleted; then it goes to 2, like you said.
