All In: Jim Raynor Saves Sarah Kerrigan on Char (Starcraft 2 Ending | Final mission)

The combined Raynor's Raiders and Terran Dominion battle group sustained heavy casualties gaining a foothold on Char. It was urgent to push on the main hive before the invaders were overwhelmed. Jim Raynor led a secondary attack to weaken the defenses and clear the way for the main assault...
The final 26th mission of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty: "All In" on Char. Mission Objective: Protect the Artifact. Watch more Starcraft videos: bit.ly/1b1W2yY.

If you saw the red beeping, his hesitancy, his essentially apology to Jim, and his reluctance to just pull the trigger immediately. You’d realise tychus was chained to the suit, with a bomb implanted in it, and his only way to survive was to shoot the woman responsible for mass genocide. But even he had his doubts, there’s a reason he gives Jim a heads up, and says “I made a deal with the devil”, he’s fully aware that he’s not doing the right thing, but his suit is about to explode and kill him, he’s a slave with no other option. He ended up being the good guy, he could have unloaded into Kerrigans head the second he got the chance, instead he chose to inform his best friend of what the situation was, and give him a chance to put him out of his misery. He’s actually a hero, just a fucked up and misunderstood hero

[@TelsaVision]

blizzard writers just make every story rediculously over dramatic. Their character's can't order chinese food without breathing heavily and expelling trauma with the weight of every fucking fortune cookie they ask for. the bomb flashes and the conversation takes place because they want a dramatic build up. if blizzards writing was that good it'd reflect in other elements of the story - it'd reflect in literally any other scene of tychus. he's just the cigar smoking cool southern guy, relax with the theme theories

He even fought Jim in the bar.

[@luisvilca4467]

Thinking in a different perspective, Tychus didn't want to betray Jim, if he really wanted to then he would have taken the shot the moment he saw Kerrigan and bath her in bullets nobody could have done anything, instead he pointed his laser and made it clear that he has no other option but kill her, giving Raynor enough time to stop him.

Isn't the achievement to use it only once? If there is an achievement for never using it, they can go jump off a cliff! I managed to pull that off, using it only once...by telling half of my SCVs to build flame turrets in the last minute. I think twenty more seconds and I would have lost. Nothing for troops left, just SCVs and an ass load of flame turrets. So, basically, if I hadn't gotten the flame turrets upgrade, I would have NEVER gotten that achievement.

How I did this mission all depended on which zerg forces I crippled in the previous. If I took out the air support, I reinforced the main points of entry with bunker clusters backed with siege tanks and perdition turrets and scattered perdition turrets throughout my base to deal with nydus invasions. If I took out the nydus network, I just filled the skies with battlecruisers.

But I like remove flying units, because nydus worm does not spawn nasty units like Leviathan to the artifact and I can use flame turret + predator to handle it.

[@evervictorious007]

@11:10 Sarah Kerrigan’s journey to redemption begins here. However, the journey isn’t gonna be easy. Victory ain’t without a price to pay. Lives were lost as a result of the main villain’s doings and Sarah did what she had to do, sacrificing her human form once again become the Queen of Blades. She began embark on her quest for revenge against the main villains, seeking justice and not just for herself but also for her loved ones and the countless of innocent lives which were ruined and deaths caused by Mengsk. The difference is the main good guys were on her side on this one. Despite her human self still dominant within herself, she still displayed the same ruthless killing instincts as before but she no longer kills indiscriminately, killing only the villains. She could have wanted to go back to Jim Raynor after the Heart of Swarm arc but she had a greater battle to fight against Amon. Unlike in StarCraft I where she fights to fulfil her own evil ambitions, she now fights for justice against evil, for peace and freedom and for everyone from the 3 races, her own race the Zerg, her former race the Terrans and even her former enemies the Protoss who became allies with her in the final Chapter. The prophecy of Xel’Naga weren’t just to cleanse her of all evil but to have her regain her humanity to reform the Zergs. The Zergs cannot do without its leader so it is a must for Kerrigan to once again become the Queen of Blades for the greater good. The cost for true victory is too high and only Kerrigan in her Queen of Blades form can afford to pay its price.

[@flinchsohn2912]

Except, that's not the case. Tychus chose to take the fall for James, knowing full well that he would either be killed buying time or get what ended up happening to him: multiple life sentences in cryonic isolation. In his own words, sacrificing himself that way was the "one good thing" he had done in his life, and demanded Raynor not take that from him. To let him do something honest and noble for once. He never wanted to go to Char, not because he was afraid, but because he knew what would happen. He gave up on his life so Raynor could start over, leave the bandit life they lived behind. Raynor had found someone he loved, lost her (and his son), and managed to find it again. At the end, he was putting Raynor in the worst position and he knew it. Tychus had gone down for Raynor's happiness already, and now it was either have all his vital organs shut down or be put down by his best friend. He knew what Raynor's choice was always going to be, and despite being his best friend and owing each other their lives multiple times over, there was no changing it. Like before when Raynor got to start his life over, Tychus left him no choice in the matter; he took the fall for the happiness of his only friend.

[@SSobotkaJr]

According to the timeline, the time between the end of the "Brood War" expac of Starcraft and Starcraft 2 was a period of several years. Mengsk has had time to solidify his empire, and in the interim Raynor had to go pretty much "on the lamb" to survive. Years of focusing on survival can make someone re-think their priorities. Which means Jim had a major change of heart where Sarah is concerned. This doesn't count as a retcon per sey, it's more of a natural character progression for Raynor; from being out for vengeance, to being a war-weary vet who wants to see the war end, and the woman he once loved saved.

[@gracecalis5421]

SRSobotka It'd be a natural character progression if Blizzard took the time and effort to show something as important and pivotal as a complete 180 of priorities of the main protagonist. But they didn't, atleast not properly anyway, and its left me confused, is all. I'm also wondering where all the story elements involving arching and intermingling politics from the first game wasn't carried on.

[@anotheremptychannel9202]

He spent years saving random folks from the terrors of the universe, and he suddenly gets the opportunity to save someone he loved? Besides, the Zerg was bound to have some sort of effect on her, so it's possible it could be undone with this artifact. Or just disintegrate her immediately, which is just as nice.

[@gracecalis5421]

Anotheremptychannel I understand the change in motivation, I just wish Blizz would've made it clearer and not make the fans fill in the gaps themselves. Makes it jarring

[@PrussianZwei]

Also remember that Zeratul handed Raynor a xel'naga device that showed them what a possibility for the future held if they did kill Kerrigan off and him stating "you will hold her life in your hands". The "vision" he saw and possibly his love for her went against revenge for Fenix.
