@@SaiKisaragi I've been using the same shitty protos rush strategy every game and it works till about low gold, where I ended. You basically win for 10 minutes if they don't counter it.
he applied tower defense theory on that mission. making enemies run in a path so he can optimize the damage with his units and the colossi's beams. very well played.
12000 units each with an average price of 100 minerals and 100 gas = 1.2 million resources lost. Protoss = probably 50k across all the mineral patches.
To be fair, in this timeline none of the Protoss discovered the nature of their true threat until it was far too late as none connected to the memories of the Overmind. It's possible that as a result, Amon was able to construct his new body without the need of corrupting the Khala. In the LotV timeline, Amon became aware of at least one Protoss who realized the danger, likely sensing Zeratul's mission when he connected with the Overmind's memories on Aiur. Afterwards, after detecting that Zeratul had come to Aiur with Artanis, Amon may have deduced that Zeratul was now legitimately threatening to his plans, and thus Amon was forced to resort to additional measures.
So many little things that made a massive difference: • The cyber core walling/pathing, with the colossus and cannons behind them • Those three DT's next to the nydus worm • The phoenixes lifting the hybrids • High templar killing the banelings • Archons killing the mutalisks and corruptors (keeping the air units away from them) Probably would have been worth having a single zealot patrolling the base to kill the creep tumors.
I'm assuming using Hold command H. The auto attack animation slightly scooches them forward towards the nydus thats why occasionally you see him cycle his hot key and pull them back then re apply Hold position.
Joshua Van Tassell nah, you cannot take in game mechanics to measure. Zerg are known to thrown in thousands upon thousands to defeat a settlement but we cannot do that in game do we? The number of kills we should get should be scale x1000 or atleast x500 more to be precise how many zerg died in this battle.
LotV Protoss would probably be able to defend forever, between the shield batteries, khaydarin monoliths to snipe the heavy units and well-chosen SoA upgrades.

Then I tried the tutorial missions for fun, and finally realized, "Holy balls...Blizzard is flat out training people to play exactly the same way! NOPE, I'M DONE." I have not spent a second on online play since.
now I don't imagine Amon's hybrid would be strong enough to defeat a Jim, Zeratul, and Kerrigan with the same skill level of this guy. Actually, it would be cool to have bonus missions showing us how the terran were consumed and how the zerg were controlled once again.
+vincent bryan Reyes On this specific mission, its an alternate reality where Kerrigan died, and the resulting turn of events was that Amon had no challenge in controlling the Swarm, and there was no reclamation of Aiur, and thus Artanis did not to activate the Spear of Adun.
Good play. he didn't lost a lot of units in the middle. Seeing that if he has unlimited minerals, he can defend endlessly. the position of the "B-Y" is crucial. He did it really flawlessly.
Well, I think the waves would be either to strong to defend against or to much so that the game just crashes (or the computer dies). Because, I don´t think that you can defend forever with an army worth 200 supply and nothing more but cannons.
I am VERY impressed i havent been able to get past this mission at all and he tore them up all the way to 10,000+ it pays to study this video well and often just for the fun of it and learning a strategy that seems to work wonders on what is a difficult mission to say the least --- Congrats to caterpie for his excellant work !!!!
Doesn't matter to him really, 10k zerg is nothing when you considering they would be in the billions at this point. Losing some Hybrid would be bad but Amon really doesn't give a shit about anything but himself and maybe Duran.
"And my zerg... will be slaves... to the hybrid." The sorrow in the Overmind's voice is pretty haunting. The Overmind wasn't kidding when he called the zerg his children in SC1.
yea, not gonna lie, I cried when I experienced this fight, they fought to the last and tried as hard as possible to live... These mothafuckas are brave.
This is now impossible, they added a crazy amount of enemy aviation in 40 minutes(I was scared, I have never seen such quantity), now the worm does not appear on the northwest locations!
Man, those three DTs in the corner literally single handedly holding off an entire flank by themselves. Imagine just sitting there for hours, completely invisible, stabbing every zerg that comes out of that nydus worm.
I just noticed something really cool, the speech Artanis gives shortly after his arrival is very similar to the one he gives shortly before the battle for Aiur towards the end of the LoTV campaign
Where was Urun when Artanis was trying to take over Amon's forces? Also, Amon sounds different in this mission to how he does in Legacy of the Void... Actually, many aspects of Legacy of Void are different to Wings of Liberty. LotV tech would have made this mission much easier. Even just auto-casting graviton beam would've been super helpful.
I guess in the mythos of the fiction you could say, "The prophecy was an approximation of the future" but honestly Blizzard just changed stuff around to suit LotV rather than be consistent with Wings of Liberty. A mention or feature of Urun would have been nice at some point though. :/
I believe Niadra,(the same one from Enemy Within) kills him and all his forces archon merge for a mini last stand while some Terrans that were with them escape.
That is Korean for sure. I mean he lost cause he mined out his base and the expansion which is pretty much deisgned to be unholdable. He had no more money to replace his cybernetics cores and no more money for archons to get rid of the north corruptor fleets.
Cptn. KoKo The phrase should be "If this mission let us use Sentries, we can hold them much longer with Force Field and Guardian Shield" But that's the Precise reason why they don't let us use one. I think they (Blizzard) think that it'll be too cheap against AI who don't know how to micro around the Force Field.
书然李 They don't come that early; I think it's about 10 minutes in before they start showing up, but even so, Guardian Shield still greatly reduce the damage we took, even it look puny at 2 damage, but it adding up... Not to mention Illusions they cast; even if the Overseer spotted them, we can still use it as a pseudo wall considering that A-move will ignore the illusions when in presence of the real one, and this's AI we're talking about, so I doubt they'll micro their units to kill the illusion blocking their path.
HOW TO WIN: Make a wall of DT and block each entrance. Press H to hold them in place once you line them up. Build Voids and Phoenix to kill the overlords so the walls stay up. Use you Control Q to quick-save if you mess up, so you do not have to start over. Upgrade air units and shields. Build Cannons on the inside with extra money. You do not need to build extra base. This is the easiest way to beat this level on brutal. This guy has amazing timing and skills sets, so if you want to beat the game in brutal and you are having a hard time, try this DT WALL method and keep your head stress free. Lata.

you sir, are a jedi.. if zerg ever invade earth.. i want to be by your house. With that strategy, you could have lasted indefinitely, if you had infinite crystals and gas.. :-) p.s. you definitely did the protoss justice.
I don't even understand this nydus part actually. I suppose blizzard messed up when creating map and accidentally made this one nydus spawn zerglings instead of broodlings.

+TomorrowLand I don't mean to necro, but I love this level. All you have to do is fuck shit up. You lose all the same and as long as you hit the objectives it's all good. The futility of it all.
Very impressive. And thanks. I was struggling to get the "Blaze of Glory" achievement on Normal and your tactic of building Cybernetics Cores to force them into a tunnel worked great. I didn't do nearly as well as you (only got about 2300 kills). I kept trying to use a dark templar wall but it falls apart around 1500 when they start sending detectors.
+St3a1thsniper32 I tried that for a while but I'm just not fast enough. Those detectors get within range of your DT wall very quickly after spawning. Using buildings as much sturdier, though vulnerable walls, worked a lot better.
Just mass pheonix from 4 stargates and keep some observers around close to where they spawn. The observers instant death will let you know that you need to go on a sniping run ASAP. You can get to 2500 but it's tricky cause if your pheonix is out of position just once then one of your walls will fall. requires frequent saving. Behind this you should be getting at least 10 collossi and wall off the top ramps with nexuses or cyber cores.
@@procerusgigas wrong comment. Yes I know it is 2 years ago but nothing changed. Both core and gate are 3x3 and cost 150 minerals. The difference is core has 50 more HP and 50 more shields, being 10% more durable

I've almost go insane doing 2500 on brutal. Your video helped me a lot. The top left nidus didn't spawn tho. The walls are the real power, it's insane how much damage they soaked in.
Honestly, this level of micro wouldn't even be fun for me - not that I'm even going to pretend I'd be capable of it, but all the same.. I'd say this was a damn impressive run, but I think that term may be inadequate. Need to consult a thesaurus. xD Very nicely done. ^_^
@@SlendHQ the other ascendent quote. "What if we are all just controlled by some higher life as a game? And some of those lifeforms watched other lifeforms play? No, I should use less terazine."I
basically my strategy was make a wall of dark templars on all the ramps by putting them on hold position. After that i just mass up phoenix to do 2 things: 1 kill all the air units like mutas and 2 kill the overseers that eventually come with the waves (otherwise units can see my dt wall...which doesn't work too well). I never got this far but i also didn't put a ton of time into it and im not as good as this guy. idk how well it really works but i got the achievements with it so im happy.
So if the terrans were wiped out what do you think happened to Jim Raynor? Was his ship simply overrun by mutalisks in deep space or do you think he died in some kind of blaze of glory?
The amount of thought put in to this strategy is staggering. Especially remembering to replace anything that is lost while at the same time managing the micro. For some reason, I always forget that archons exist and that they massacre groups of zerg. Question, those dark templar by the nydus worm. Is the worm invincible and are they there to just pad the kill count or does it actually stem the amount of zerg forces attacking from that direction?
The Nydus Worm can be killed, but he set the Dark Templars to hold position... and for some reason, the Zerglings stay there, doing nothing. Maybe they did not expect us to keep the Nydus Worms alive?
If you kill over 10K on brutal the Dark Voice should apologize for bothering you and leave.

Then I tried the tutorial missions for fun, and finally realized, "Holy balls...Blizzard is flat out training people to play exactly the same way! NOPE, I'M DONE." I have not spent a second on online play since.
now I don't imagine Amon's hybrid would be strong enough to defeat a Jim, Zeratul, and Kerrigan with the same skill level of this guy.
Actually, it would be cool to have bonus missions showing us how the terran were consumed and how the zerg were controlled once again.
Mike Wang i agree that would be great
I actually think they should've had a mission like that where you play as the hybrid taking over the zerg!
Ow my god his dead already
For the Terrans it would be pretty much "All In", except Raynor shoots Kerrigan instead of Tychus, but then they get massively overrun.
Those 3 dark templars were like : Mehh we are gonna kill stuff until we get detected ^_x
I'm almost certain that this is the golden armada
If this is the last stand of the protoss, How does he warp in stuff if the entire universe is purged by Amon?
Lol you re right
+Leon Piruze i guess there's the spear of adun as their last source of tech and units
vincent bryan Reyes But the spear of Adun is on Aiur
Nope, i'm afraid its a toss capital ship that goes wherever there is artanis
+vincent bryan Reyes On this specific mission, its an alternate reality where Kerrigan died, and the resulting turn of events was that Amon had no challenge in controlling the Swarm, and there was no reclamation of Aiur, and thus Artanis did not to activate the Spear of Adun.
When you get 10k kills on Brutal Amon puts "Toss OP" in the chat and leaves without a GG.
you had enough to warp in 3 more zealots bro
Such a failure of optimisation should not go unpunished, lol.
sartte Saving the minerals to replace interceptors ;)
Also he just threw away the probes, could of long distance mined the gold base
@@Nerizwith he effectively mined like 97% of the minerals there. Wouldn't be worth even trying to long distance mine.
@@skulkerbro7603 yes but it would be more effective than throwing the probes in the trash
As many times as I've played this level, this was the first time it felt like a last stand. Brilliant strategy with the cybercores.
Good play. he didn't lost a lot of units in the middle.
Seeing that if he has unlimited minerals, he can defend endlessly.
the position of the "B-Y" is crucial.
He did it really flawlessly.
Rajiv Aiyar yeh, the cyber core wall kept going further back
Well, I think the waves would be either to strong to defend against or to much so that the game just crashes (or the computer dies). Because, I don´t think that you can defend forever with an army worth 200 supply and nothing more but cannons.
Countless Executors were appointed that dark day :O
I remember I used a lot of Dark templars in this missión, very effective!
untill those fucking overlords
*****
hybrids don't reveal
Yep in hold position it's perfect. And use skytoss.
But the tower defense technic is amazing
Hybrids have the same light tendrils as the angels from Diablo.
Starcraft Hybrids confirmed Angels of the Diablo universe.
UncensoredRhett Or rather that Amon is a huge Diablo fan and designed the hybrids in their style.
Cristian Martinez LOL
I am VERY impressed i havent been able to get past this mission at all and he tore them up all the way to 10,000+ it pays to study this video well and often just for the fun of it and learning a strategy that seems to work wonders on what is a difficult mission to say the least --- Congrats to caterpie for his excellant work !!!!
Not very cost effective game by amon ..
Cheating noob.
If he was not in casual difficulty,he might probably edit the map of brutal difficult. He's a liar. He lied to everyone seeing this video.
馬崇瀚 usual chinese throwing accusation without evidence
Doesn't matter to him really, 10k zerg is nothing when you considering they would be in the billions at this point. Losing some Hybrid would be bad but Amon really doesn't give a shit about anything but himself and maybe Duran.
thepainsight if he gave a shit about Duran he wouldn't let Stukov kamehameha him without at least trying to do something about it
Defend until the last protoss falls !
40 Min : *Is sending all his probe to death*
Single most impressive gameplay I've seen. I knew that high yield spot is worth the taking.
This is the helms deep of the starcraft universe.
The number of dead enemies...its.......OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!
"And my zerg... will be slaves... to the hybrid."
The sorrow in the Overmind's voice is pretty haunting. The Overmind wasn't kidding when he called the zerg his children in SC1.
This is how raynor died!...watching this never ending prophecy! Awesome play.
yea, not gonna lie, I cried when I experienced this fight, they fought to the last and tried as hard as possible to live... These mothafuckas are brave.
16:36 "Satisfactory" ( then the archons dancing ) xD satisfaction
Amon: Starcraft is not a tower defend game
Caterpie: Hold my Cyber Cores
This is now impossible, they added a crazy amount of enemy aviation in 40 minutes(I was scared, I have never seen such quantity), now the worm does not appear on the northwest locations!
Man, those three DTs in the corner literally single handedly holding off an entire flank by themselves. Imagine just sitting there for hours, completely invisible, stabbing every zerg that comes out of that nydus worm.
I just noticed something really cool, the speech Artanis gives shortly after his arrival is very similar to the one he gives shortly before the battle for Aiur towards the end of the LoTV campaign
Where was Urun when Artanis was trying to take over Amon's forces?
Also, Amon sounds different in this mission to how he does in Legacy of the Void... Actually, many aspects of Legacy of Void are different to Wings of Liberty. LotV tech would have made this mission much easier. Even just auto-casting graviton beam would've been super helpful.
I guess in the mythos of the fiction you could say, "The prophecy was an approximation of the future" but honestly Blizzard just changed stuff around to suit LotV rather than be consistent with Wings of Liberty. A mention or feature of Urun would have been nice at some point though. :/
An edited version of this map but with LotV tech would be interesting. I wonder if it exists.
Shield Batteries. 'Nuff said.
I believe Niadra,(the same one from Enemy Within) kills him and all his forces archon merge for a mini last stand while some Terrans that were with them escape.
Protoss kills 12,000 enemies
Amon: Let's just bug out and call it even. You win this time
I love the Protoss! A fine last stand, sir. GG
At a final stand war troll probes and protoss soldiers wants more minerals and gas to work and go to battle
This is the most epic fight I've ever seen in any video game.
For those Dark Templars in the upper left corner there should be a unique rank for the insane amount of kills they got :P
I mean wtf 1,010 it's like those dark templars were the embodiment of their war gods cause hory shyt
On a scale of 1 to Korean how good are you at starcraft?
+Nick Rymer hahahaha 1 to korean
That is Korean for sure. I mean he lost cause he mined out his base and the expansion which is pretty much deisgned to be unholdable. He had no more money to replace his cybernetics cores and no more money for archons to get rid of the north corruptor fleets.

if this mission used terran instead of protoss i think it can hold much longer
Cptn. KoKo The phrase should be "If this mission let us use Sentries, we can hold them much longer with Force Field and Guardian Shield"
But that's the Precise reason why they don't let us use one. I think they (Blizzard) think that it'll be too cheap against AI who don't know how to micro around the Force Field.
machaiping What about ultralisks? They do crush forcefield, right?
书然李 They don't come that early; I think it's about 10 minutes in before they start showing up, but even so, Guardian Shield still greatly reduce the damage we took, even it look puny at 2 damage, but it adding up...
Not to mention Illusions they cast; even if the Overseer spotted them, we can still use it as a pseudo wall considering that A-move will ignore the illusions when in presence of the real one, and this's AI we're talking about, so I doubt they'll micro their units to kill the illusion blocking their path.
Cptn. KoKo Meanwhile you'd have SCVs going "Woohoo! Overtime!" while the fate of an entire race is at hand. XD
Cptn. KoKo Imagine a mix of the two. Siege tanks and the toss units XD
Imagine if this map had a lot more resources lol

Did this guy create Tower Defense?
Илья Созин no this is a part of Starcraft II's campaign missions.
Илья Созин This is epic :D
Tower deffence was created way back in 2003 with warcraft 3's secret mission.
it is a legit strategies.
1:27 One of my favorite Dark Voice lines. It just shows that everyone else is merely an instrument.
There are at least three dozen skill sets to recreate this masterpiece. This is art.
HOW TO WIN: Make a wall of DT and block each entrance. Press H to hold them in place once you line them up. Build Voids and Phoenix to kill the overlords so the walls stay up. Use you Control Q to quick-save if you mess up, so you do not have to start over. Upgrade air units and shields. Build Cannons on the inside with extra money. You do not need to build extra base. This is the easiest way to beat this level on brutal. This guy has amazing timing and skills sets, so if you want to beat the game in brutal and you are having a hard time, try this DT WALL method and keep your head stress free. Lata.
Hell, you could fend off an entire galaxy of hybrids with this tactic.
So long as the resources don't deplete.
"You have no where to run and no where to hide..." "Every hand is turned against you even the ground beneath your feet carries the seeds of your destruction"
1/2 hour later
"Alright, now I'm really getting pissed off."
1 hour later
"Just die so I can finish my hot pocket, its cold!"
you sir, are a jedi.. if zerg ever invade earth.. i want to be by your house. With that strategy, you could have lasted indefinitely, if you had infinite crystals and gas.. :-) p.s. you definitely did the protoss justice.
If you'd had Deploy Fenix you would have lasted a few more hours tho...
This is Wings of Liberty... not Legacy of the Void
Sinchu9 Yea i know
What if he had Deploy Chuck Norris?
Knowbody Total Annihilation of Amon within seconds
A picture of Chuck Norris is enough to defeat Amon.
haha god I was like what is this nydus for, and then I saw the zerglings and the free kills.. pretty smart move!
I don't even understand this nydus part actually. I suppose blizzard messed up when creating map and accidentally made this one nydus spawn zerglings instead of broodlings.
Those DT's though...lol
Just imagine what will happen if the Protoss have shield battery back in WoL? This game will almost last forever
This video is simply amazing ! The level Brutal after killing 2500 units becomes the Brutal for " Nightmare Overmind " !!!
Note that the level actually increases .
Congratulations to resist both .
I once had fun adding every Hero Unit from the campaign to this map in the level editor, but THIS is legit impressive.
I fucking hate this level....you play knowing you got to give up or fight till you run out of resources...there is no winning....I MUST ALWAYS WIN!!
TomorrowLand For me, this stage felt a bit like "What a strange game. The only winning move is not to play" when I found out that I had to survive until well... I ran out of resources (or was overwhelmed).
+TomorrowLand I don't mean to necro, but I love this level. All you have to do is fuck shit up. You lose all the same and as long as you hit the objectives it's all good. The futility of it all.
Very impressive. And thanks. I was struggling to get the "Blaze of Glory" achievement on Normal and your tactic of building Cybernetics Cores to force them into a tunnel worked great. I didn't do nearly as well as you (only got about 2300 kills).
I kept trying to use a dark templar wall but it falls apart around 1500 when they start sending detectors.
+Thrifty032781 Make pheonix to take out detectors, That's what I do. I can usally get to about 2500 kills before DT wall falls.
+St3a1thsniper32 I tried that for a while but I'm just not fast enough. Those detectors get within range of your DT wall very quickly after spawning. Using buildings as much sturdier, though vulnerable walls, worked a lot better.
Whatever works for you :D
Just mass pheonix from 4 stargates and keep some observers around close to where they spawn. The observers instant death will let you know that you need to go on a sniping run ASAP. You can get to 2500 but it's tricky cause if your pheonix is out of position just once then one of your walls will fall. requires frequent saving. Behind this you should be getting at least 10 collossi and wall off the top ramps with nexuses or cyber cores.
so I take it that cybernetics core has the most HP for the crystal amount?
It's smallest and you can fit more of them than gateways on base passages.
@@procerusgigas wrong comment. Yes I know it is 2 years ago but nothing changed. Both core and gate are 3x3 and cost 150 minerals. The difference is core has 50 more HP and 50 more shields, being 10% more durable
@@Catchdown Was thinking should I wait for 2 years to replay to your comment. :D
I stand corrected.
I’ve always wondered where the protoss warps in they’re buildings from…
Now just imagine if Protoss were able to build Bunkers and Siege Tanks. Amon would've died of old age.
"Amon, I've come to bargain"
"You've come to die"
1 hour later
"You will never win"
"No but I can lose, again, and again and again, forever and ever. Which makes you my prisonor"
"NO, Stop! MAKE THIS STOP! Set me free"
I've almost go insane doing 2500 on brutal. Your video helped me a lot. The top left nidus didn't spawn tho. The walls are the real power, it's insane how much damage they soaked in.
I wonder how much longer one could continue this with spear of adun abilities, such as the reconstruction beam
Someone said that blizz strengthened this mission's zerg some time after this epic run, so is it still possible to kill 12k zerg now?
Honestly, this level of micro wouldn't even be fun for me - not that I'm even going to pretend I'd be capable of it, but all the same.. I'd say this was a damn impressive run, but I think that term may be inadequate. Need to consult a thesaurus. xD
Very nicely done. ^_^
If the rest of the universe has fallen, where are they warping in the buildings from?
Protoss magic
"Does that mean all of these structures were constructed aboard the Spear of Adun?"
They are building them with the minerals he harvested, just in a different place
@Mistjor I know, it was just a fun reference to the Ascendant's quote about the structures during the LOTV campaign.
@@SlendHQ the other ascendent quote. "What if we are all just controlled by some higher life as a game? And some of those lifeforms watched other lifeforms play? No, I should use less terazine."I
Nothing screams PTSD like “NOT ENOUGH MINERALS.”
basically my strategy was make a wall of dark templars on all the ramps by putting them on hold position. After that i just mass up phoenix to do 2 things: 1 kill all the air units like mutas and 2 kill the overseers that eventually come with the waves (otherwise units can see my dt wall...which doesn't work too well). I never got this far but i also didn't put a ton of time into it and im not as good as this guy. idk how well it really works but i got the achievements with it so im happy.
21:55 *Looks at remaining video. "Still got time to finish my pizza rolls."
Thanks so much! I tried this strategy myself and made it to 19 kills! :D
Does anyone know how to build several structures with probes like this guy did?? Thanks in advance...
Keep Shift pushed
666 lol
anyway someone should make the final mission. With Terrans.
This is the best stage of all RTS games I've played .
So if the terrans were wiped out what do you think happened to Jim Raynor? Was his ship simply overrun by mutalisks in deep space or do you think he died in some kind of blaze of glory?
Raynor standing there saying to himself "why do these guys need my help again??"
The amount of thought put in to this strategy is staggering. Especially remembering to replace anything that is lost while at the same time managing the micro. For some reason, I always forget that archons exist and that they massacre groups of zerg.
Question, those dark templar by the nydus worm. Is the worm invincible and are they there to just pad the kill count or does it actually stem the amount of zerg forces attacking from that direction?
in the description he says he killed the nydus once, so i assume he lets it live so the dts can rack up free kills.
The Nydus Worm can be killed, but he set the Dark Templars to hold position... and for some reason, the Zerglings stay there, doing nothing. Maybe they did not expect us to keep the Nydus Worms alive?
Raynor be like standing in front of the crystal thinking " can these protoss died already"
7:36 that’s a pretty good amount of enemies you killed
Urun: There's just too many of them...
Human voice: But there are more of us, Admiral. There are more of us.
The combined UED Armada shows up.
