StarCraft II: Campaign Collection - Legacy of the Void 13 - Rak'Shir

Playlist: • StarCraft II: Campaign...
My definitive playthough of the StarCraft 2 Campaign Collection trilogy and Nova mission pack. Each mission video will be a walkthrough explaining and executing strategies to succeed and obtain most achievements on Brutal difficulty. All dialogues, cinematics, and story-related material will be at the end of each video.
In some cases I omit completing Mastery achievements that would require a separate playthrough detracting from a full showcase of the mission in question.
Achievements completed this video:
Rak'Star - Destroy 3 Tal’darim Nexuses in the Rak’Shir mission on Normal difficulty.
'Shir Determination - Support Alarak with 25 units or more at the same time in the Rak’Shir mission.
[Mastery] Flawless Victory - Complete the Rak’Shir mission without ever allowing Alarak to be pushed back on Hard difficulty.

"You embark upon a task that even Fenix could not achieve." Woah, woah, Artanis. Watch your words. You should have seen him in action during Black Scout Down mission.

[@br8443]

If those elementals produce solarite as poop, Artanis should just keep one as a pet on the Spear of Adun. Then he would have tons of solarite without having to do any more bonus objectives.

[@0XShadowdragonX0]

Unless protoss is part of the elementals menu. Considering the Tal'darim way of thinking, it could be the fate for those not worthy or too weak to be part of the faction.

[@jeru_jj1161]

The real question is, what do they eat?

[@windrunner8497]

Heh. They stasis

[@s.m.2523]

... I won't lie, the mental image of Artanis walking in a park with a happy giant floating rock snake/whale thing in a leash while a zealot folllows behind to gather the solarite in little bags while regreting all it's life choice is precious.

[@inductivegrunt94]

Seeing Jay use Tal'darim units makes it look like a Tal'darim civil war, I like that. It also makes more sense to use Tal'darim units because it would look ridiculous with lets say all Aiur units, and this is Rak'shir a Tal'darim practice Aiur units make no sense being here.

[@zombieguy223]

I like to think that to get Rohana to the bridge for these group meetings, they get a few zealots to pick up her stasis cell and physically carry her through the ship all the way from the armoury. I know they probably just teleport her or something, but I find that mental image of her being hauled around like a piano hilarious.

You made Solar Lance look like giant eraser in this mission.

[@zaxtonhong3958]

One thing that's worth noting about adepts is they're REALLY REALLY GOOD Their shade is effectively -5 armor on enemies it touches, and you can cancel it before they teleport if you want and still get the debuff effect. This also affects splash damage and spell damage, meaning psi storm does 100ish damage, ascendant psi orb does 50% more damage in general, and colossi AoE DoT gets even more damage. Void rays effectively get PLUS FIVE WEAPON UPGRADES if you use shades before fights, which almost doubles their damage output vs non armored units. This is the ONLY WAY destroyers are any good, since this makes their chain laser actually do damage.

[@zurcus7224]

Judging by how he talks, I like to think that Alarak was really high on terrazine during the whole thing

[@TheHalogen131]

He probably was

[@Poputrash]

He is the "High"lord

[@Altom941]

Terrazine boost power of psychic terrans. It seems logical it would do the same to the protoss. And if so, it would make sense for him to use it . He needs every edge possible in this fight

That part where artanis said wait I do not wish to know was actually comedic

[@sayorable5572]

if you stay idle in the war council and the solar core, the two characters that reside there will converse with each other. i'm not sure if anyone else knows-

[@SupposedScientist]

Alarak reeeeeally likes bargain deals

[@TheHalogen131]

That's an awesome loading screen. One of my favourites

[@zurcus7224]

I'm betting that Fenix will be deployed during Purifier mission

[@reginaldsafety6090]

Lets hope so!

[@jarrakul]

Wait, do Tal'Darim archons just use the same model as Nerazim dark archons? That's confusing.

[@JosephJoboLicayan]

yeah they do

[@mirceazaharia2094]

All hail Alarak, Supreme Edgelord of all edgelords!

[@notshockwavedemon7543]

Funny how Tal'darim Archons look just like Dark Archons.

[@s.m.2523]

Judge the taldarim culture all you want. They are stonned crazy violent psychopats for sure. But ... let's be honnest here, everyone who worked in a hierarchy , in your heart of heart, don't you secretely wish you could legaly fight your boss and push them in a pit of deah sometime ?

[@HeIsAnAli]

Wouldn't know, not a Klingon.

[@drmattconrad77]

I never used adepts because I figured they couldn’t attack air like in multiplayer. Don’t I feel silly. :)

[@JohnTrustworthy]

34:29 you could almost hear the hearts in Alaraks eyes. (Tsundere Alarak, best Alarak)

[@Storm2war]

Alarak is the highlord now but the taldarim still challenging him. Poor them

[@AzureIV]

30:52 So... we are the Rebels helping the Imperials against the Ewoks, if the Ewoks were also Rancors?

[@pawli7470]

Is it fair for them to start closer to Alaraks pit?

[@reginaldsafety6090]

The Tal'darim care intensely about fairness and the feelings of each participant involved in the rite of Rak'Shir. Alarak can lodge a formal complaint with the officiators of the blood challenge and is eligible to receive compensation up to 30 days following the battle.

[@Storm2war]

Well its the taldarim we are talking about, they are brutal alright

[@ironwar1863]

probably a way to help weed out weak challengers right at the start so no one is wasting time. Also shows how much stronger the new guy is if he pushes back the guy above him at a disadvantage.

[@Poputrash]

Regular Tal'darim: "What is this "fair" you speak of? Does it suffer?" Also, they're all stoned to shit.

[@Yacovo]

Thanks for the video.

[@hub1986]

Very nice don't think he got pushed back but was hard to see btw Jay you see the carbot remasted skins play it :PPP GG and good night

[@stangundam01]

might've made things easier to have had the shield regen maxed out instead of supply for aux systems in this mission, this is also why doing endion instead of slayn 1st helps with solarite for these missions

[@robertquillen5675]

Where do the ENDLESS reinforcements come from? They NEVER stop no matter how many bases I kill

[@maximus28549]

If adepts are like the ones in the campaign I think stalker users will extinct because of the poke and versatility

Adepts are a lot slower in vs and do not have air attacks

Artanis: *How can you think of the purifiers as merely machines to do your bidding?* *one line later* Artanis: *Imagine how useful these purifiers will be to our cause!* Hypocrite much? Also, what about those creatures you just slaughtered for the solarite they contained? Forcing machines to obey? Wrong! Killing creatures for material gain? Correct! I like Artanis, but he is insufferable at times.
