Always leave a handful of units at your base to play defense (building a couple of bunkers along the southern border of your base is a good idea) as scattered protoss units will show up on occasion to annoy you. Keep building up your army with a massive group of SCVs gathering goods, your barracks pumping out Marines and Medics, and your starport generating Vikings as quickly as you can fund them.
When the terror fleet is destroyed, the outpost inhabitants will hop into a craft and fly off, leaving behind a host of resource caches that you should collect before returning to base.Įxpect more terror fleets to show up (at least two more) as you make progress. Grab all of your Vikings, make sure they're flying, and send them to the targeted outpost to blast away the flying terror. The targeted outpost will be marked on your map (be careful not to confuse the purifier for a targeted outpost -you want to stay far, far away from the purifier). You should soon get a notice that the protoss are sending a terror fleet to rough up one of the colonist outposts. Order SCVs to repair your damaged Vikings. When enemies are gone, destroy the nexus and then return to base. Shoot anything that fights back first before bothering with the nexus. When the air enemies are destroyed, be ready to command the Vikings to drop to the ground and help out the Marines. As you approach it, allow your Vikings to blast down the air enemies while your Marines target the ground guys. When you've got a sizable crew, collect the lot and head for the nexus that's just east of your base. It'll be a while before your resource collecting is up to supporting this but it'll be important soon enough. After you've built a couple of Vikings to add to your starting army, add a reactor to your starport, allowing you to build out two Vikings at once. You'll need a lot of vespene to build out the Vikings. Marines, naturally, will attack anything in range.īe sure to also build out loads of SCVs and dedicate more than usual to collecting vespene gas. Unfortunately while they're grounded, Vikings will not attack air units. If you want them to attack grounded units, you have to land them on the ground (it's a command you can access when you have a Viking selected).
A quick note on the Vikings: While they're airborne, they will only attack air-based units. Start quickly, training Marines, Medics and using your starport to build out Viking units. One of the Achievements challenges you to save three colonist outposts, which requires destroying the Purifier fairly quickly. As time passes, colonist outposts will be terrorized by small protoss fleets and the Purifier will slowly move between outposts and blow 'em up. The nexus stations appear on your map as markers, with one that's very close to your base to the east. Before you can attack the Purifier, you need to destroy three protoss nexus stations spread around the map. Bonus Objective | Stop the third terror fleetīefore we start, the gist: A protoss Purifier mothership is threatening to wipeout a handful of small outposts (the white dots) on the map.Bonus Objective | Stop the second terror fleet.Bonus Objective | Stop the first terror fleet.Main Objective | Destroy the purifier mothership.Main Objective | Destroy the protoss nexus (3).If you choose to purify the colony, go to the next page. If you choose to protect the colony, follow with the walkthrough below. We suggest making the choice that gives you the research you want. There may also be some moral dilemma here, but we're immune to that. Choosing to protect the colony will give you the opportunity for zerg research while purifying the colony will net you protoss research. Select this mission and, after a cut scene we won't spoil, you have to choose between two sides in completing the mission.
