Actually, I think Tychus accepted the deal just to help Jim out...even if he wanted his freedom, he knew that Jim would have hunted him down to get his vengeance. Also, if Tychus really wanted to kill Kerrigan, I don't think he would have had any problems doing so without letting Jim react fast enough to save her and take him out. Since he knew he would never get the chance to be truly free, he simply chose to make the best use of his remaining life span: help his friend.
@Doctor Doc, MD in lore its to save energy. "helmut down" mode is apparently a high energy thing to do. Also it provides minimal protection, the main purpose is to provide an advanced combat hud for the wearer. obviously it would protect from rocks and punches, but not a gun as you see multiple times in cinematics marines getting domed through the helmet by bullets.
Exactly. If Tychus truly was going to kill Kerrigan, he would of shot Jim in the back and then executed Kerrigan. I think he what he did was to die at the hands of someone he considered his brother instead of being Mengsk's puppet.
If you think about it: what guarantee did Tychus have that Mengsk would uphold his (Mengsk) end of the bargain. Mengsk was not exactly the most trustworthy of people
Tychus was letting Jim make the choice, he knew he wasn't the right person to decide on something that important. He gave him the opportunity and got dealt a bad hand. He could always reappear but I'm not sure you'd ever be able to continue to do his character justice working with the good guys. I think the story was a testament to his character, in the end he knowingly sacrificed himself for a cause his friend truly believed in.
@@alm5851 right but he did give Jim the choice. If Tychus REALLY wanted to kill Kerrigan, he would have done it the moment he had that sight on her forehead. You don't hesitate and pause for the kill, you go and take the shot as soon as you can. Tychus and Jim are good friends, but Tychus got stuck dealt a bad hand: Kill Kerrigan which sets him free, but betrays his friend, or don't and he is stuck in his "prison". Also, dickhead Mengsk is watching as well via Tychus' suit. The suit is rigged to kill Tychus on the spot under Mengsk's command. Tychus gave Jim the choice, hence the dialog they had.
Throughout the campaign, Tychus always gave the personality of a battle-hardened war veteran tired of fighting and living as a slave for others. I think this was his way of saying goodbye at least on his own terms.
Earlier in the game, Matt tells Raynor about why Tychus can't leave his suit, and they find out that its wired to all his major organs, so if Mengsk presses a button, he dies. In that situation, Tychus is a dead man anyway.
@@crestfallensunbro6001 i figure all marines would have implants to use a marine suit..... tho in the lore the Dominion marines are also all convicts who are imprisioned in the suits When they wrote Tychus they just kidna went with that initial concept and adapted it to the story.
@@Broockle Nah, we've seen marines in and out of their armor before with no implants to control the suits. Raynor is one of them, actually (albeit former). There are implanted aggression inhibitors - though those aren't universal. Not all of the Marines are convicts. Even the Confederacy had only about a 50% criminal conscript rate.
@@DSFARGEG00 Oh, I thought the Confederacy mainly used convicts. Other than Raynor himself and his men I didn't think we know anyone who isn't a convict fur sure.
The Gauss rifle has burst and semi-auto fire mode. Tychus made his choice not to shoot multiple but just once to make his best friend have a good reason to kill him. He knew that Raynor would easily deflect the shot so he did. Sophisticated man he is...
The fact he kept trying to get Raynor to give up on his mission to save Kerrigan and just leave with their money indicates he really didn't want to have to go against his old pal.
I think he said he is fighting himself over something he doesn't wanna do so i guess Gabriel tosh just know or see that this Tychus Findlay is forced to work for Mengsk or he just feels it like Zeratul's first meet
Not just that, After the mission of Hijacking the Odin, Matt found out that the suit had a killswitch that would kill Tychus, they just didn't know who had the finger on the trigger
Wow, poor Tychus. He was pretty much screwed regardless of what he did. I guess it's better to have a friend kill you rather than some psychopath who's in control of your suit do it (It's a bit like Of Mice And Men when George kills Lennie rather than let Lennie get lynched)
You could see in his yes, Tycus was never going to shoot kerigan, he was ready to die and he wanted Raynor to be the one to do it instead of Mengsk, this is what true brotherhood looks like
If Tychus wanted to kill Sarah, he had done it already. I saw his eyes and claim that he wanted Jim to end his tragedy life, and Jim knew what to do next
They are men of honor. Tychys gave raynor a chance to make his decision and not underhand the brotherhood that they for so long had together. He coulda have easily just killed her on sight but he didnt.
If nobody hasn't note this, I'll tell you: You remember raynor wanted to kill Mengsk by his pistol, saving 1 shoot (you see this when he met valerian) And as tychus is controlled by Mengsk, we could say that, metaphoric, Raynor killed mengks, cause it wasn't really tychus ideas, just he had to follow orders or he dies. At the end yes, raynor "kills" mengsk dominion and give Tychus the wings of liberty And the second, when Raynor knew tychus made the deal with the devil, the conversation is two side meaning, they seems talking like raynor understod tychus choices and gonna kill him, and tychus seems like he was gonna kill kerrigan, but at the same time, when Raynor says "we all gonna our choices to make", he means the decision that tychus chose, knowing he signed his dead sentence. As tychus says: "Damm shame" you can see in his eyes sadness, as knowing he was going to die, so the phrase means it's a shame he has to die like that. At the end, that's the wings of liberty
Tychus is a true warrior. Walking into his own end knowingly, submitting to fate, and being loyal to his friend until the end. He served his purpose until the end, which he basically spent his last days of freedom helping Raynor to save Kerrigan. He redeemed his past and his honor. He will not be remembered, he will never be understood. For that makes Tychus Findlay even more honorable than any other Protoss.
It is clear that Tychus gives Rynor enough time to make his decision, a decision that Tychus himself did not want to make, I can almost feel Tychus closing his eyes resignedly when Rynor got in the way and blocked his shot towards Sarah, Asshole, rude, despicable, but not bad to the core, that's certain
+sha grimm Tychus is an incredible asshole. But he has character, at least as much as Raynor, if not more. I was hoping they would bring him back some way. LOL half zerg Tychus... that would piss him off.
I just finished the novels Heavens' Devils and Devil's Due. And Jim killing Tychus hits harder after learning how much they went through together and how much Tychus cared for Jim and how he sacrificed his freedom for him on Devil's Due's climax.
"I made a deal with the devil, Jimmy." This is actually a much more telling line than you might think. "She dies, I go free." Is not what a deal with the devil is. It's quite the opposite, a deal with the devil has you reap the benefits right now, but you have to pay for them in the future. But Tycho *has* made a deal with the devil. He was given the information about the Xel'Naga artifacts. He helped Jimmy find and assemble them. Through his connections to Moebius, he got Raynor's Raiders funding for their rebellion against Mengsk, put crown-prince Valerian into a position to become the rightful ruler of the Dominion *and* set Jimmy up to redeem the Queen of Blades herself. All for the small price of his soul, which the devil came to claim in this moment.
"Well, shit. That just happened." "Yeah. What do we do now? "Dunno. Try to forget, I guess." "I'm glad you said that. I've got just the thing..." *pneumatic hiss of space-cooler* "Thank God for cold fusion."
Tychus is truly bittersweet-war veteran. He’s stuck in the middle as a soldier. In the end he definitely chose to be killed by his ol’ friend than Mengsk, because he saw Jim as a true soldier with heart. Besides that, Tychus’ already dead when he sign up.
Seeing Raynor walk off alone makes me wonder if he also killed the rest of that team. I mean, there should be soo many people pissed at Kerrigan at that point.
No he did not kill the entire team. Warfield decided to help Raynor free Kerrigan from the influence of the Zerg which is why Warfield has the absolute worst posting possible in Heart of the Swarm. Those marines were loyal to the General and they were under orders to follow Raynor. More than likely after Raynor secured Kerrigan, both the General and Raynor agreed they needed to separate so Mengsk wouldn’t derail Raynor’s mission any further. It will also explain why Valerian found himself on daddy’s shit list because Arcturus figured out Valerian never intended to kill Kerrigan, just the Queen of Blades and the Queen of Blades died when the artifact was used. That will explain why Arcturus’ fleet led by Nova continued to engage the Hyperion after being informed the Prince was on board. Keep in mind this is Arcturus Mengsk we’re talking about. That is definitely right up his alley.
Poor Tychus, as he said he made a deal with the devil, only difference between mengsk and the devil, is the devil at least keeps 'his' end of the bargain, Mengsk, he probably woulda pushed the button anyway just so that Jim would suffer even 'more' if he didnt die. That's why in my opinion first he 'hesitated' and waited so long, it wasn't a western showdown, if Tychus really wanted to kill Kerrigan, he coulda shot while Jim's guard was down, didn't need to 'ask' Mengsk if he was watching or not. Tychus gave up the deal with Mengsk, so that at least his friend would know 'why' he was doing what he was doing, and could hear the regret in his voice. Its like what Tychus said, he went to jail for jim, and Jim owed him, thats why Jim trusted him so much because he was his friend and trusted him with his life 'despite' his criminal record. Tychus went to jail while Jim got a new life as a Marshall, he knew he owed Tychus and wanted to help him out however he could, 'like old times'. So when it came down to the final moment, Tychus waited, waited as long as he could, gave Jim all the time he needed to react, and he only wanted his friend to know, he wasn't doing it because he wanted to, it was cause he had 'no choice'. Any man will pay 'any' price when their life is on the line, forget his freedom. So at the end, he chose to deny Mengsk his prize, a dead kerrigan while she's human and helpless, he chose the '3rd' option, die by his friend, rather than die by mengsk because he either broke the deal or because Mengsk decided to break the deal just to watch Jim suffer more. Plus i think Tychus knew, deep down perhaps, that the Kerrigan who was lying helpless and human, wasn't the Queen of Blades anymore, she was in essence 'a new woman', a different Kerrigan, not the butcher who slaughtered her allies when it was convenient, who betrayed 'everyone' who even dared to trust her, and slaughtered a retreating enemy who had no hope of fighting back. In HoTS, she isn't that queen of blades, she lets Warfield's men go after she's beaten them back and forced them to flee char. She only kills those 'necessary' to ensure her survival, and when Mengsk taunts her with Jim being alive, despite spreading news across the dominion that he's dead, she doesn't trust his word, but even if there was a 'SLIM' chance jim was alive, she threw her swarm to rescue him, despite knowing that the man she loved... would hate what she became to save him. So in the end, Tychus was the real hero of Wings of Liberty, not Jim. He may have made a deal with the devil, but sometimes you have to make a deal with the devil, but sometimes thats what it takes to be the hero.
One thing that's also mentioned by Kerrigan in Hots is When she talks to Izha about gambles, and the mentions "The thing about gambles is that sometimes you lose."
A part of me just wishes this was the end of Starcraft 2. It has more finality to it than all other campaigns combined to me. When I beat it the first time I darn near broke into tears, both out of sadness and happiness. I miss Tychus, but I knew he wanted Jim to kill him there. RIP Tychus. "Ragna-rock-n'-roll." -Tychus Findlay
It's en emotionally powerful scene tbh. Him using the single bullet of that pistol in the way he did symbolizes that he felt saving Kerrigan was more important than his grudge against Mensk. I love the Starcraft universe just for its characters.
My belief is Tychus didn't want to kill her but had to for his freedom. That being said, he couldn't betray his friend, and let Jim decide his fate. I don't think Jim held a grudge further into the plot. He felt sad for his friend's death, but understood that there was no point in losing tears: everyone is trapped by their destiny.
for some reason those last few seconds feel special. that music when the camera moves up and you can see the cruisers in that one opening in the clouds and others burning.
Tychus didnt want to kill her.. he could have shot her without warning... Also the angle was blockable by Jim. He knew that he would die but he chose how.
I know this has been brought up a few times but I believe Tychus was in fact trying to plead with not only Raynor but also Mengsk. If you notice he asks Mengsk if he was reading all of this, like kerrigans change and such, in a way saying is it still necessary to which Mengsk says you have your orders and thus shows he can kill Tychus. In that moment he could've unloaded on Kerrigan but instead slowly draws the pointer up, again pleading even though he should know by now Raynor wouldn't allow it. When Raynor responds with anger and ultimately says we all got our choices to make and unclapse his gun I believe Raynor did it like a warning and with Tychus having no other choice and regret he says its a damn shame, slowly pulling the trigger for Raynor, his now friend to end it.
He was one of the most charismatic character and certainly the most funny motherfucker with an attitude of the whole serie. I was so angry when they killed him to save the genocidal queen bitch. Just burn her and find another way to kill Amon. I'm sure Zeratul was powerful enough to channel the Xel'naga energy.
Nolan Leahy Doubt that was Jim intention when he killed Tychus, Jim been wanking over Kerrigan pic even before Zeratul told him about Amon. Bitch ass Jim only want to get laid
+Demigodish4o3 That's probably why he waits before shooting. He was jailed, then realeased and could kill all he wanted with his former best friend. He had a good ride and knows Jim will react, and just let fate decides who will be faster.
and in story Tychus sacrifice his freedom to keep raynor ending up in prison.. that's why he is in that marine prison reconditioning cinematic trailer.
wow i just noticed that voice talking to tychus is mengsk... damn. And Jim... wow, he has a pistol that can one shot a hero marine. That's IMBA right der.
From time to time, I come back to this ending. It is truly epic. Somehow Blizzard lost it in recent years, but this one is still top notch. So many details are cramped in. I also love that a lot stuff has to happen in your imagination and mind, because they do not show everything - on purpose and probably also budget reasons I guess :D However, it is exactly this certain amount of ambiguity which leaves room for interpretation. You really have to pay close attention to grasp the full thing. Like this moment at the one minute mark when Raynor forces Tychus' gun down. I always think, that this is the moment, Tychus realizes that he is done and Raynor had made his choice. Here was his opportunity to kill Kerrigan on sight, but he doesnot fire. The whole campaign must have felt heartbreaking for Tychus. I think, he knew from the beginning that there wont be a good ending for him - either way - although, he never gave up hope until the very end. Here, he moved on from denial to acceptance. He had enjoyed the ride and his borrowed time, so did we as the players - especially if we commanded Tychus and having a true blast :D At some point it had to end in a conclusion. We all knew how it would end, if the fate of Kerrigan would stand in between Tychus and Raynor. Lifting his visor, semiautomatic firing mode, giving Raynor more than enough time & opportunity to react quick enough... On the one hand, he might have hoped for (the lie of) his freedom up until the last moment. Raynor might choose in favor of him. On the other hand, and more realistically, Tychus probably simply hoped Raynor might recognize all these gestures as last acts of friendship and respect. Although, he most likely never intended commiting fully into the duel with his friend Raynor, he would not be Tychus - and he wants to be remembered with that personality -, if he doesnot go down with guns blazing.
@AbyssalZones I tend to think of it this way: 1) Tychus described his employers as "those Moebius boys". Who else do we know who's involved with the Moebius Foundation? 2) Who else has a vested interest in the removal of threats to his own ambitions? 3) Tychus isn't too bright. Who else would want Tychus to think he was being employed by Mengsk, and would reasonably have access to, oh, voice synthesiser technology? 4) Who stands to gain by making Mengsk look like the villain?
Okey, Tychus never wanted kill kerrigan. And i think the only way stopping this was dying by raynor. Tychus found the best way to end this. He was wasted...
Wiki: He were shot in the face and died, and Tychus' Armor were holding his major organs up and going, so if he shot Sarah he would be killed by Raynor, if he were not to, Mengsk would turned of his armor and he would die, so I think it was on purpose to fight with Raynor against the zerg until where he had to make his choice: Betray his friends, or make Raynor kill him so he died on his own terms, thats the reason why he gives Raynor a choice to block the bullet and shoot him.
If they didn't show Tychus dying, then, to me, he is still alive. Earlier in the game, Matt tells Raynor why Tychus can't leave his suit, and they find out that its wired to all his organs, so if Mengsk presses a button, he dies. I doubt they would simply leave Tychus like that.
He is very much dead. It's brought up in Heart of the Swarm. The entire point of his story arc is that he's a dead man walking.Taking away that would severely undercut the emotional payoff.
Poor bro spent 13 years in the freezer taking the heat for Raynor, to get betrayed by Jim while trying to execute the worst mass killer in the history of humanity. Damn shame.
@DexWulf123 How about this for SC3: - new XN ( non-corrupted t+z hybrids, magical faction ) - humans ( mainly UED, industrial superpower faction ) - Kalathi ( vengeful barbaric faction ) - Voice in the Darkness ( shadowy cthulhu-esque faction ) whatever arrangement Blizzard adopts in the future, I'll be happy as long as the SC universe gets expanded and we get to see some new species :) ( instead of confining the main plot to the Koprulu sector which is what SC2 seems to be doing ... )
@AbyssalZones Several things come to mind however. 1. Mengsk is a self absorbed, narcissistic man who might just be crazy enough to trust Tychus. and 2, perhaps he never intended for Tychus to cause so much damage but wanted Tychus to be freed so he could meet up with Raynor, and knowing that Raynor has a personal vendetta againt Kerrigan, would egg Raynor on until he wanted to hunt her down. If they failed, why would he care? That's 2 people he hated out of the way.
When Jim rolled over to shoot Tychus in the face he rolled on top of Kerrigan. I hope her (now feeble) legs don't mind half a ton of marine combat suit rolling on top of them.
I think tychus chose to die here. The whole game he just acts, he doesn't all permission or tell people. He simply does what he's going to do. He didn't have to show Raynor the laser, he didn't have to hesitate. Tychus has 1 friend, and he chose to die before betraying him.
Ofcourse, why do you think Tychus removed his protective visor and pointed the laser at Kerrigan's head instead of just killing her? He was placing his life under Raynor's hands. Either Raynor kills him or allows him to kill Kerrigan.
Tychus only had to ask the Protoss , friends jim, to release him from that suit them abundance technology to make it smooth . And so I think that only with his mind could do .
But Moebius could kill him while he was asking the Protoss to help him... They see everything what Tychus does and they are able to kill him all the time.
What?? You do realise that they track every step Tychus makes. If they noticed that he wanted to get rid of the suit they would've killed him instantly
Tychus had all the time to kill Kerrigan AND Jim... if he actually wanted to. But from the story, we all know Tychus never really wanted to hurt Jimmy as he was his best friend. Tychus knew he was on burrowed time. The only thing he could do was choose how he wanted to die. He prefered to die at the hands of his own friend than at the feet of his worst enemy.
He allowed his best friend to kill him. This is real friendship and he had no choice. It was kill or die but he still gave him the choice to let him kill her or die by his hands.
I don't think Arcturus Mengsk was in constant communication with Tychus. The fact that he had no clue what the Mobious people and Valerian were doing kinda proves the point. Arcturus is also surprised to see Raynor again when Valerian calls him before assaulting Char, so my guess is he freed Findley to find Raynor and kill Kerrigan, but Tychus only returned Mengsk call once he was in front of Kerrigan.
It puzzled me for years why Mensk would be caught blindsided by New Folsom and Media Blitz with Tychus embedded in the Raiders. Then recently I realized that he would have understood that Tychus's story wouldn't have stood up to scrutiny over a longer period of time -- the only way the Raiders would tolerate all the gaps in his story (the weak motivation, the vague prison break, the combined death trap and prison of his armor, his need to access confidential information, his susceptibility to a Ghost reading his mind) was if he avoided actively working against them. He was sent to join the Raiders with a single, specific mission, not to spy on them. The conversation with Mensk is the only time they contact each other -- anything more would have risked getting picked up by the Raiders, who were keeping a close eye on Tychus.
what got me was I heard metal on metal with that shot. if it was lead vs flesh and bone we wouldn't have heard that, so I understand now why they brought tycus back as a coop commander
Tychus was dead either way, he would have been disposed with when all was said and done. His long pause with the laser sights is all the proof I’ll ever need to know Tychus knew he wasn’t leaving that room alive. Damn shame.
Soccercrazyigboman Tychus can't do anything, his suit wired to his organs. Do something funny and he dies. Even with other technology, he can't get out from it. Temper a bit, and he dies. That's why he keep telling Raynor to forget Kerrigan so this situation won't happen. He knows that even if he kills Kerrigan, Mengsk won't release him. So he let Raynor decide before shooting either : A ) Block the bullet and kill Tychus B ) Let the bullet kills Kerrigan and Tychus will stay alive. Obviously Raynor will pick A.
I can't wait for Heart of the Swarm and see how this awesome story continues. Honestly I was expecting Starcraft 2 to be one of these crappy rushed "casual" games that are ruining awesome franchises (like Empire Total War or CnC 4 Tiberian Twilight) I'm glad I was wrong, Starcraft 2 actually turned out to be one of the best games I've ever played, not only in terms of presentation, details, easter eggs, gameplay, EVERYTHING. Few games come out as polished as this one.. Blizzard quality...
If you think about it, even if Tychus killed kerrigan, mengsk probably wouldn’t uphold the end of the bargin. He probably would’ve been able to kill two bird with one stone. Stop the zerg queen, and no witnesses. Even Tychus was hesitating, dying to a friend is better dying a gruesome death. The suit would destroy his organs, but he probably be conscious till death.
Darn you Jimmy...you didn't even care your old buddy at all...even didn't do anything despite knowing he had this 'gun pointing at his head' all the time
I said it once before, I'll say it again. This is the ending we were missing in WotLK, between Jaina and Arthas. Genders swapped OFC. Instead we have a plot that makes no sense, just to have a boss comeback in future expansions.
Remember this is assuming Jim already saw the Vision of Oblivion from Ihan Crystal given from Zeratul. So regardless of his feelings for Kerrigan, he knows whatever happen Kerrigan must survive to prevent doomsday from Amon. As for Tychus, in my opinion i always believe at first he really have one intention... and that is his freedom. But as time pass ... mission after mission he start to understand Jim cause, how he fights for freedom against Mengsk Tyranny, he has a change of heart, remember the little fight they had at the cantina where Tychus throw the Jukebox at Jim? I think that describe his frustration about his feelings, he feels bad about lying to Jim at the same time he wants freedom. I think at the end after Jim told him how Kerrigan ended up like that ... how Mengsk abandon her to death after she outlived her usefulness, he realize that even if he did manage to Kill Kerrigan, Mengsk will press the button and Kill Him in that suit anyway for sure. That's why he only shot 1 bullet despite using a Machine Gun at Kerrigan ... he let his friend Jim decide, there's only sadness and regret in Tychus eyes when he said "Damn Shame". But i have to wonder though ... if only Tychus wrote something in a piece of paper "Hey i'm taken prison and this suit will kill me if i didn't kill Kerrigan, and i can't tell you because he can hear me", i'm pretty sure Jim can find a way to remove the suit from him ... but mehhh video games logic.
Tychus can literally kills kerrigan there without the pointer. But he used laser pointer as a warning to his friend jim raynor just to let him know. So basically StarCraft 2 heart of the swarm won't gonna happen.

Actually, I think Tychus accepted the deal just to help Jim out...even if he wanted his freedom, he knew that Jim would have hunted him down to get his vengeance. Also, if Tychus really wanted to kill Kerrigan, I don't think he would have had any problems doing so without letting Jim react fast enough to save her and take him out.
Since he knew he would never get the chance to be truly free, he simply chose to make the best use of his remaining life span: help his friend.

Exactly. If Tychus truly was going to kill Kerrigan, he would of shot Jim in the back and then executed Kerrigan. I think he what he did was to die at the hands of someone he considered his brother instead of being Mengsk's puppet.

If nobody hasn't note this, I'll tell you:
You remember raynor wanted to kill Mengsk by his pistol, saving 1 shoot (you see this when he met valerian)
And as tychus is controlled by Mengsk, we could say that, metaphoric, Raynor killed mengks, cause it wasn't really tychus ideas, just he had to follow orders or he dies. At the end yes, raynor "kills" mengsk dominion and give Tychus the wings of liberty
And the second, when Raynor knew tychus made the deal with the devil, the conversation is two side meaning, they seems talking like raynor understod tychus choices and gonna kill him, and tychus seems like he was gonna kill kerrigan, but at the same time, when Raynor says
"we all gonna our choices to make", he means the decision that tychus chose, knowing he signed his dead sentence. As tychus says: "Damm shame" you can see in his eyes sadness, as knowing he was going to die, so the phrase means it's a shame he has to die like that.
At the end, that's the wings of liberty
Damn shame...
Tychus is a true warrior. Walking into his own end knowingly, submitting to fate, and being loyal to his friend until the end. He served his purpose until the end, which he basically spent his last days of freedom helping Raynor to save Kerrigan. He redeemed his past and his honor.
He will not be remembered, he will never be understood. For that makes Tychus Findlay even more honorable than any other Protoss.
En taro Tychus!
It is clear that Tychus gives Rynor enough time to make his decision, a decision that Tychus himself did not want to make, I can almost feel Tychus closing his eyes resignedly when Rynor got in the way and blocked his shot towards Sarah, Asshole, rude, despicable, but not bad to the core, that's certain
TYCHUS was best character in the game,why god whyy...

I just finished the novels Heavens' Devils and Devil's Due. And Jim killing Tychus hits harder after learning how much they went through together and how much Tychus cared for Jim and how he sacrificed his freedom for him on Devil's Due's climax.
Bullshit.
It suck that tychus dies. he was my favourite character :(
Am gonna use you with proud in Heroes of the Storm :)
i´ll miss you ;-; leic if u cri everitiem
I honor you in the HoS battlefield, don't worry I'm killing Kerragan and Jim many times as possible.

I haven't gotten to try him in HoS yet :(
"I made a deal with the devil, Jimmy."
This is actually a much more telling line than you might think. "She dies, I go free." Is not what a deal with the devil is. It's quite the opposite, a deal with the devil has you reap the benefits right now, but you have to pay for them in the future.
But Tycho *has* made a deal with the devil. He was given the information about the Xel'Naga artifacts. He helped Jimmy find and assemble them. Through his connections to Moebius, he got Raynor's Raiders funding for their rebellion against Mengsk, put crown-prince Valerian into a position to become the rightful ruler of the Dominion *and* set Jimmy up to redeem the Queen of Blades herself.
All for the small price of his soul, which the devil came to claim in this moment.
"Well, shit. That just happened."
"Yeah. What do we do now?
"Dunno. Try to forget, I guess."
"I'm glad you said that. I've got just the thing..."
*pneumatic hiss of space-cooler*
"Thank God for cold fusion."
Who else was so shocked that this is already 10 Years old oO
This time was amazing
Tychus and Zeratul are still alive... In Heroes of the Storm lol.
Wasn’t alive in the lore still pretty pissed about that fact.
And co-op :}
Yeah but infested tychus is worse than dead
I liked tychus he was the best character
Tychus: "Daddy Like"
Tychus is truly bittersweet-war veteran. He’s stuck in the middle as a soldier. In the end he definitely chose to be killed by his ol’ friend than Mengsk, because he saw Jim as a true soldier with heart. Besides that, Tychus’ already dead when he sign up.
Seeing Raynor walk off alone makes me wonder if he also killed the rest of that team.
I mean, there should be soo many people pissed at Kerrigan at that point.
Xis
Probably did. In the end, Raynor thinks with his pee-pee.
@@robobo2226 And it saves the entire Terran race as well as the protoss and newly freed zerg lol.
@@robobo2226 Simp Raynor lmao
No he did not kill the entire team. Warfield decided to help Raynor free Kerrigan from the influence of the Zerg which is why Warfield has the absolute worst posting possible in Heart of the Swarm. Those marines were loyal to the General and they were under orders to follow Raynor. More than likely after Raynor secured Kerrigan, both the General and Raynor agreed they needed to separate so Mengsk wouldn’t derail Raynor’s mission any further. It will also explain why Valerian found himself on daddy’s shit list because Arcturus figured out Valerian never intended to kill Kerrigan, just the Queen of Blades and the Queen of Blades died when the artifact was used. That will explain why Arcturus’ fleet led by Nova continued to engage the Hyperion after being informed the Prince was on board. Keep in mind this is Arcturus Mengsk we’re talking about. That is definitely right up his alley.
Really sad scene, also great ending, and i like the music in the background
Poor Tychus, as he said he made a deal with the devil, only difference between mengsk and the devil, is the devil at least keeps 'his' end of the bargain, Mengsk, he probably woulda pushed the button anyway just so that Jim would suffer even 'more' if he didnt die.
That's why in my opinion first he 'hesitated' and waited so long, it wasn't a western showdown, if Tychus really wanted to kill Kerrigan, he coulda shot while Jim's guard was down, didn't need to 'ask' Mengsk if he was watching or not. Tychus gave up the deal with Mengsk, so that at least his friend would know 'why' he was doing what he was doing, and could hear the regret in his voice. Its like what Tychus said, he went to jail for jim, and Jim owed him, thats why Jim trusted him so much because he was his friend and trusted him with his life 'despite' his criminal record. Tychus went to jail while Jim got a new life as a Marshall, he knew he owed Tychus and wanted to help him out however he could, 'like old times'.
So when it came down to the final moment, Tychus waited, waited as long as he could, gave Jim all the time he needed to react, and he only wanted his friend to know, he wasn't doing it because he wanted to, it was cause he had 'no choice'. Any man will pay 'any' price when their life is on the line, forget his freedom.
So at the end, he chose to deny Mengsk his prize, a dead kerrigan while she's human and helpless, he chose the '3rd' option, die by his friend, rather than die by mengsk because he either broke the deal or because Mengsk decided to break the deal just to watch Jim suffer more.
Plus i think Tychus knew, deep down perhaps, that the Kerrigan who was lying helpless and human, wasn't the Queen of Blades anymore, she was in essence 'a new woman', a different Kerrigan, not the butcher who slaughtered her allies when it was convenient, who betrayed 'everyone' who even dared to trust her, and slaughtered a retreating enemy who had no hope of fighting back. In HoTS, she isn't that queen of blades, she lets Warfield's men go after she's beaten them back and forced them to flee char. She only kills those 'necessary' to ensure her survival, and when Mengsk taunts her with Jim being alive, despite spreading news across the dominion that he's dead, she doesn't trust his word, but even if there was a 'SLIM' chance jim was alive, she threw her swarm to rescue him, despite knowing that the man she loved... would hate what she became to save him.
So in the end, Tychus was the real hero of Wings of Liberty, not Jim. He may have made a deal with the devil, but sometimes you have to make a deal with the devil, but sometimes thats what it takes to be the hero.
A true best friend to the very end. A beast both physically and mentally rest in peace tychus your legend will be eternal.
One thing that's also mentioned by Kerrigan in Hots is When she talks to Izha about gambles, and the mentions "The thing about gambles is that sometimes you lose."
A part of me just wishes this was the end of Starcraft 2. It has more finality to it than all other campaigns combined to me. When I beat it the first time I darn near broke into tears, both out of sadness and happiness.
I miss Tychus, but I knew he wanted Jim to kill him there. RIP Tychus.
"Ragna-rock-n'-roll." -Tychus Findlay
can you take a minute to appreciate the music and hard work that made this, this epic. well done
Marine: Sir, where are you going? Transport's over here.
Jim: Shut it!
It's en emotionally powerful scene tbh. Him using the single bullet of that pistol in the way he did symbolizes that he felt saving Kerrigan was more important than his grudge against Mensk. I love the Starcraft universe just for its characters.
May you rest in gaming Heaven Tychus..... and hopefully don't become a ghost or infested

My belief is Tychus didn't want to kill her but had to for his freedom. That being said, he couldn't betray his friend, and let Jim decide his fate. I don't think Jim held a grudge further into the plot. He felt sad for his friend's death, but understood that there was no point in losing tears: everyone is trapped by their destiny.
"You have your orders, carry them out." Hmm... where have I heard that in SC1? . . .
for some reason those last few seconds feel special. that music when the camera moves up and you can see the cruisers in that one opening in the clouds and others burning.
Still a better love story than Twilight.
much better
Oh fuck yeah! To think that this love story started with the first StarCraft when Sarah and Jimmy first met.
@@TeksterJesteR except it didn't, this love story was introduced in StarCraft 2.
@TheTargetMaster
Raynor started a civil war over kerrigan in sc1, if that's not true love idk what is
Man tychus was a fun character, I liked his trigger happy personality
Tychus didnt want to kill her.. he could have shot her without warning... Also the angle was blockable by Jim. He knew that he would die but he chose how.
Tychus will always be badass in my mind :)
I know this has been brought up a few times but I believe Tychus was in fact trying to plead with not only Raynor but also Mengsk. If you notice he asks Mengsk if he was reading all of this, like kerrigans change and such, in a way saying is it still necessary to which Mengsk says you have your orders and thus shows he can kill Tychus. In that moment he could've unloaded on Kerrigan but instead slowly draws the pointer up, again pleading even though he should know by now Raynor wouldn't allow it. When Raynor responds with anger and ultimately says we all got our choices to make and unclapse his gun I believe Raynor did it like a warning and with Tychus having no other choice and regret he says its a damn shame, slowly pulling the trigger for Raynor, his now friend to end it.
He was one of the most charismatic character and certainly the most funny motherfucker with an attitude of the whole serie.
I was so angry when they killed him to save the genocidal queen bitch. Just burn her and find another way to kill Amon. I'm sure Zeratul was powerful enough to channel the Xel'naga energy.
Well, I think having the Zerg swarm on your side can be useful...
solwen There wasn't another way to kill Amon. It was even said in Zeratul's prophecy. Kerrigan had to live, or the universe was doomed.
Nolan Leahy
Doubt that was Jim intention when he killed Tychus, Jim been wanking over Kerrigan pic even before Zeratul told him about Amon. Bitch ass Jim only want to get laid
Zlatan10 actually wrong. If not for Zerathul's prophecy - Kerrigan would end up dead.
The genocidal queen bitch died that day. Not Kerrigan.
Free? More like:
"She dies...then I'm fucked"
+Demigodish4o3 That's probably why he waits before shooting. He was jailed, then realeased and could kill all he wanted with his former best friend. He had a good ride and knows Jim will react, and just let fate decides who will be faster.
+Grom76300 actually moebius could kill him in that suit anytime
Demigodish4o3 I belive tychus knew that he would have been killed the moment he shot Kerrigan in the suit, so he wanted Jim to do it, faster that way.
and in story Tychus sacrifice his freedom to keep raynor ending up in prison.. that's why he is in that marine prison reconditioning cinematic trailer.
wow i just noticed that voice talking to tychus is mengsk... damn.
And Jim... wow, he has a pistol that can one shot a hero marine. That's IMBA right der.
Tychus' helmet was open. Jim shot him in the head.
Yep à painless way to go and tychus said his farewell to his friend and not move much to allow Raynor to kill him quickly a true bro to the very end
I like to believe that tychus is still alive and that Raynor only shot his transponder in his suit
"I made a deal with the devil, Jimmy" has been my notification tone for years lol
You cannot control the behavior of others, but you can always choose how you respond to it.
*Roy T. Bennett*
From time to time, I come back to this ending. It is truly epic. Somehow Blizzard lost it in recent years, but this one is still top notch. So many details are cramped in. I also love that a lot stuff has to happen in your imagination and mind, because they do not show everything - on purpose and probably also budget reasons I guess :D However, it is exactly this certain amount of ambiguity which leaves room for interpretation. You really have to pay close attention to grasp the full thing.
Like this moment at the one minute mark when Raynor forces Tychus' gun down. I always think, that this is the moment, Tychus realizes that he is done and Raynor had made his choice. Here was his opportunity to kill Kerrigan on sight, but he doesnot fire.
The whole campaign must have felt heartbreaking for Tychus. I think, he knew from the beginning that there wont be a good ending for him - either way - although, he never gave up hope until the very end. Here, he moved on from denial to acceptance. He had enjoyed the ride and his borrowed time, so did we as the players - especially if we commanded Tychus and having a true blast :D
At some point it had to end in a conclusion. We all knew how it would end, if the fate of Kerrigan would stand in between Tychus and Raynor.
Lifting his visor, semiautomatic firing mode, giving Raynor more than enough time & opportunity to react quick enough... On the one hand, he might have hoped for (the lie of) his freedom up until the last moment. Raynor might choose in favor of him. On the other hand, and more realistically, Tychus probably simply hoped Raynor might recognize all these gestures as last acts of friendship and respect.
Although, he most likely never intended commiting fully into the duel with his friend Raynor, he would not be Tychus - and he wants to be remembered with that personality -, if he doesnot go down with guns blazing.
@AbyssalZones
I tend to think of it this way:
1) Tychus described his employers as "those Moebius boys". Who else do we know who's involved with the Moebius Foundation?
2) Who else has a vested interest in the removal of threats to his own ambitions?
3) Tychus isn't too bright. Who else would want Tychus to think he was being employed by Mengsk, and would reasonably have access to, oh, voice synthesiser technology?
4) Who stands to gain by making Mengsk look like the villain?
13 years later almost 14 and this game still looks amazing
dat music at the end...gladiator anyone?
It's the same woman providing vocals that's why.
"now we are free"
Lol thats exactly what I thought!
more of a StarWars, right after the song end, I 100% could hear the credit song
10 years later, i saw this video...
he chose to die in the hands of a friend. He was the true wings of Liberty.
That bullet was meant for Mengsk!
Okey, Tychus never wanted kill kerrigan. And i think the only way stopping this was dying by raynor. Tychus found the best way to end this. He was wasted...
Ok - so Jim's holding Sarah with his right arm AND drawing his pistol with it?
Wiki: He were shot in the face and died, and Tychus' Armor were holding his major organs up and going, so if he shot Sarah he would be killed by Raynor, if he were not to, Mengsk would turned of his armor and he would die, so I think it was on purpose to fight with Raynor against the zerg until where he had to make his choice: Betray his friends, or make Raynor kill him so he died on his own terms, thats the reason why he gives Raynor a choice to block the bullet and shoot him.
If they didn't show Tychus dying, then, to me, he is still alive.
Earlier in the game, Matt tells Raynor why Tychus can't leave his suit, and they find out that its wired to all his organs, so if Mengsk presses a button, he dies.
I doubt they would simply leave Tychus like that.
You're currently on the first stage of grief.
He is very much dead. It's brought up in Heart of the Swarm.
The entire point of his story arc is that he's a dead man walking.Taking away that would severely undercut the emotional payoff.
So Raynor is ultimate simp
@AbyssalZones Because it is not Mengsk who set Tychus free. Play the Protoss missions and you will know who speaks to him.
Poor bro spent 13 years in the freezer taking the heat for Raynor, to get betrayed by Jim while trying to execute the worst mass killer in the history of humanity.
Damn shame.
i made deal with a devil jimmy :(
But how does Tychus see through the smoke from his cigarette?
Jim Raynor, Kerrigans knight in shinung armor.
Jim drop the knight in shining armor routine, it suits you sometimes just not now (Quote from SC1)
+i have crippling depression lol
No need to explain. Us old school StarCraft guys will catch that in an instant.

@DexWulf123
How about this for SC3:
- new XN ( non-corrupted t+z hybrids, magical faction )
- humans ( mainly UED, industrial superpower faction )
- Kalathi ( vengeful barbaric faction )
- Voice in the Darkness ( shadowy cthulhu-esque faction )
whatever arrangement Blizzard adopts in the future, I'll be happy as long as the SC universe gets expanded and we get to see some new species :)
( instead of confining the main plot to the Koprulu sector which is what SC2 seems to be doing ... )
@AbyssalZones Several things come to mind however. 1. Mengsk is a self absorbed, narcissistic man who might just be crazy enough to trust Tychus. and 2, perhaps he never intended for Tychus to cause so much damage but wanted Tychus to be freed so he could meet up with Raynor, and knowing that Raynor has a personal vendetta againt Kerrigan, would egg Raynor on until he wanted to hunt her down. If they failed, why would he care? That's 2 people he hated out of the way.
When Jim rolled over to shoot Tychus in the face he rolled on top of Kerrigan. I hope her (now feeble) legs don't mind half a ton of marine combat suit rolling on top of them.
I think tychus chose to die here. The whole game he just acts, he doesn't all permission or tell people. He simply does what he's going to do. He didn't have to show Raynor the laser, he didn't have to hesitate. Tychus has 1 friend, and he chose to die before betraying him.
Ofcourse, why do you think Tychus removed his protective visor and pointed the laser at Kerrigan's head instead of just killing her?
He was placing his life under Raynor's hands. Either Raynor kills him or allows him to kill Kerrigan.
I agree, you were my favourite character!
Tychus only had to ask the Protoss , friends jim, to release him from that suit them abundance technology to make it smooth . And so I think that only with his mind could do .
Leitoh Bakan yea, big plothole, im sure protoss tech couldve released tychus from his suit
But Moebius could kill him while he was asking the Protoss to help him... They see everything what Tychus does and they are able to kill him all the time.
Huepfpuschen oh... shit... well... poor tychus,
+Leitoh Bakan .... aaaand I don't think the protoss would give a shit about Tychus anyway.
What?? You do realise that they track every step Tychus makes. If they noticed that he wanted to get rid of the suit they would've killed him instantly
can someone pls tell me the song at 2:27
RIP Tycus.
this is by far the most well polished cinematic in the entire game.
bro choice atleast killed by his own friend not a devil
Looks like Jimmy got rustled when his friend wanted to do the only logical thing possible.
Tychus had all the time to kill Kerrigan AND Jim... if he actually wanted to. But from the story, we all know Tychus never really wanted to hurt Jimmy as he was his best friend.
Tychus knew he was on burrowed time. The only thing he could do was choose how he wanted to die. He prefered to die at the hands of his own friend than at the feet of his worst enemy.
He allowed his best friend to kill him. This is real friendship and he had no choice. It was kill or die but he still gave him the choice to let him kill her or die by his hands.
Heyull.. its abowt tayyyymm
I don't think Arcturus Mengsk was in constant communication with Tychus. The fact that he had no clue what the Mobious people and Valerian were doing kinda proves the point. Arcturus is also surprised to see Raynor again when Valerian calls him before assaulting Char, so my guess is he freed Findley to find Raynor and kill Kerrigan, but Tychus only returned Mengsk call once he was in front of Kerrigan.
It puzzled me for years why Mensk would be caught blindsided by New Folsom and Media Blitz with Tychus embedded in the Raiders. Then recently I realized that he would have understood that Tychus's story wouldn't have stood up to scrutiny over a longer period of time -- the only way the Raiders would tolerate all the gaps in his story (the weak motivation, the vague prison break, the combined death trap and prison of his armor, his need to access confidential information, his susceptibility to a Ghost reading his mind) was if he avoided actively working against them. He was sent to join the Raiders with a single, specific mission, not to spy on them. The conversation with Mensk is the only time they contact each other -- anything more would have risked getting picked up by the Raiders, who were keeping a close eye on Tychus.
what got me was I heard metal on metal with that shot. if it was lead vs flesh and bone we wouldn't have heard that, so I understand now why they brought tycus back as a coop commander
Tychus.
What have you done?
I made a deal with the Devil, Jimmie... She dies, I go free...
Tychus was dead either way, he would have been disposed with when all was said and done. His long pause with the laser sights is all the proof I’ll ever need to know Tychus knew he wasn’t leaving that room alive. Damn shame.
Why do I feel like Tychus let Jim kill him. He could he offed Kerrigan in a snap
Soccercrazyigboman Tychus can't do anything, his suit wired to his organs. Do something funny and he dies.
Even with other technology, he can't get out from it. Temper a bit, and he dies.
That's why he keep telling Raynor to forget Kerrigan so this situation won't happen.
He knows that even if he kills Kerrigan, Mengsk won't release him.
So he let Raynor decide before shooting either :
A ) Block the bullet and kill Tychus
B ) Let the bullet kills Kerrigan and Tychus will stay alive.
Obviously Raynor will pick A.
Or maybe Tychus sincerely believe Mengsk would release him.
Don't think so
I can't wait for Heart of the Swarm and see how this awesome story continues. Honestly I was expecting Starcraft 2 to be one of these crappy rushed "casual" games that are ruining awesome franchises (like Empire Total War or CnC 4 Tiberian Twilight)
I'm glad I was wrong, Starcraft 2 actually turned out to be one of the best games I've ever played, not only in terms of presentation, details, easter eggs, gameplay, EVERYTHING. Few games come out as polished as this one.. Blizzard quality...
AGREE
If you think about it, even if Tychus killed kerrigan, mengsk probably wouldn’t uphold the end of the bargin. He probably would’ve been able to kill two bird with one stone. Stop the zerg queen, and no witnesses. Even Tychus was hesitating, dying to a friend is better dying a gruesome death. The suit would destroy his organs, but he probably be conscious till death.
Mengsk Never Would Have Hounoured The Deal He Made With Tychus Anyway ....
Damn so true. This ending sucks.
Wings of liberty belonged to tychus
It's a shame that blizzard went for the "Kerrigan is the chosen one " bullshit. she litterally becomes fire jesus or some shit at the end

Remember this is assuming Jim already saw the Vision of Oblivion from Ihan Crystal given from Zeratul. So regardless of his feelings for Kerrigan, he knows whatever happen Kerrigan must survive to prevent doomsday from Amon. As for Tychus, in my opinion i always believe at first he really have one intention... and that is his freedom. But as time pass ... mission after mission he start to understand Jim cause, how he fights for freedom against Mengsk Tyranny, he has a change of heart, remember the little fight they had at the cantina where Tychus throw the Jukebox at Jim? I think that describe his frustration about his feelings, he feels bad about lying to Jim at the same time he wants freedom. I think at the end after Jim told him how Kerrigan ended up like that ... how Mengsk abandon her to death after she outlived her usefulness, he realize that even if he did manage to Kill Kerrigan, Mengsk will press the button and Kill Him in that suit anyway for sure. That's why he only shot 1 bullet despite using a Machine Gun at Kerrigan ... he let his friend Jim decide, there's only sadness and regret in Tychus eyes when he said "Damn Shame". But i have to wonder though ... if only Tychus wrote something in a piece of paper "Hey i'm taken prison and this suit will kill me if i didn't kill Kerrigan, and i can't tell you because he can hear me", i'm pretty sure Jim can find a way to remove the suit from him ... but mehhh video games logic.
how can you hold a pen when you have a 40cm armored hand 😃
@@dustypaint Damn ain't that the god damn truth xD.
