Starcraft: Remastered - Brood War - Episode VI - Mission 8: To Slay the Beast A (All Destroyed)

[@thomasyo75]

Very well played sir ! I've come back to SC after a long break and love a challenge but really struggled with this last scenario only so far managing to take the top left base before getting overwhelmed. Very useful info about hotkey groups, I'm a slow player and that'll help loads, many thanks for posting the vid !

Recommend USE All air units without destroy any bases.

Dude, this video made this mission a breeze. ^^ thanks. Muta-spam ftw.

[@MasterKD]

Thanks for watching too bro :)

@@MasterKD You don't have to destroy UED bases

[@lesliebong150]

Is this still the most challenging mission in the game or u just getting used to it already?

[@MasterKD]

It's not challenging anymore but still harder than other missions. The amount of AI drops coming to retake their bases is so annoying

[@Emc2flam]

I'll ask here, I don't get how you can keep most of your Mutas alive? When I send mine they die so quickly... Example : for the base on the north side if I send like 20Mutas they will destroy most of the base but only around 5 will survive... So could you tell me how you keep yours almost max life?

[@MasterKD]

Alright, so there are a lot of microing involved here If you simply give the mutalisks the attack command and let them do that on their own, they will scatter and attack multiple targets. What you really want is to make all of them attack the same target in order to quickly destroy it. That will reduce the enemy unit count and thus gives your mutalisks more chance to survive. While doing that, you also need to be on top of your mutalisks' health. If you see some of them take too much damage, quickly pull them back before they die. That will make the enemy units attack another mutalisk (instead of the damaged ones). Now you may ask how much damage is enough to micro your muta back? Well, that comes from experience and you just need to play a lot to know For example, take a look at 13:08. I command all of my 24 mutalisks to attack the bunker. Then I see one of my mutalisks take a lot of damage, so I want to pull it back. Selecting the damage one alone on the screen is hard, though, so I just quickly select all mutalisks around that damaged one (and I got 3) and move them back Most of the time, you want to clump up your mutalisks before attacking, so even if they scatter after they destroy that specific target, they dont scatter too much. Also, sometimes it actually good to let your mutalisks to attack multiple targets. For example, against a bunch of marines, they have low HP, so you really dont need 20 mutalisks to focus fire on just one marine. Of course, you still need to make sure your mutalisks not scatter too much

[@MasterKD]

A better example would be kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHLWk6GYmNiEiJY . When I attack the bottom right base at around 7:00, you can see I used 12 mutalisks to kill a lot of hydras and lost nothing

[@Emc2flam]

MasterKD Many thanks for your kind reply. One more thing, I see you select your units without any click + ctrl, how do you do that? Is there a macro ? Hot key? And how do you make more than 12 Mutas hiy one single target?

[@MasterKD]

Just use hotkey For example, if I have 24 mutalisks, I group 12 in 1 and the other 12 in 2 If I want to attack one target, do: 1 + right click target + 2 + right click target

[@Emc2flam]

Thanks a lot Mate, I will be honest I didn't know about the Hot keys, that you can "stock" your units in 1 2 3 etc, thanks a lot :), now the games seems much easier lol :)

I started to wonder did Kerrigan turn her into her minion to not let the matriarch return to the Protoss Tribe

[@sumerian88]

I dont think she really cared. She enslaved her to make sure Zeratul would kill the Overmind. The rest is fluff to her. But given her sadistic nature, I guess she would have enjoyed keeping her as her slave.

[@Endru85x]

@@sumerian88 Also, manipulated Raszagal told Artanis and Zeratul to kill Aldaris. he may been an asshole before, but he was right that one time, just did not manage to tell Zeratul that his matriarch felt under Kerrigan influence.

Destroy All Enemies!
