StarCraft: Remastered - THE BETRAYAL!

[@Garother]

In Wings of Liberty they remade this betrayal scene into an awesome cutscene. It was the same script, word by word. Thats when WoL gave me chills.

[@TheGuruStud]

Has Lowko never played SC2 campaign? LOL. I guess not if he never played SC1. Lowko, it has to be said: You're a noob. LOL :P

[@Garother]

He did play all the SC2 campaigns once. The LotV playthrough is on his channel. But I think you cannot remember every cutscene when you just saw them once in 5 years.

[@alyszra7804]

so glad I'm not the only person that remembers him playing through WoL and HotS....

[@BaddeJimme]

@TheGuruStud I recognized the dialog when playing through WoL because I had beaten the first game maybe half a dozen times. I have only played through WoL once though. I don't think I would recognize the dialog if I was playing the original for the first time, having beaten WoL seven years ago.

[@FenixBG]

The thumbnail of the KZbin video is from that very same cutscene, so...

[@nocomment823]

23:58 Raynor: "I'm gone, and you'd better come with me" What if you are actually Matt Horner in this mission briefing *insert mind blown meme here*

[@cultofnatethemagnificent5879]

I think so it makes sense

[@Lanadra]

One could speculate, and they might as well make it such as they've never used the Magistrate again after this campaign, may as well just come out and say ''it's Horner''.

[@nocomment823]

it makes total sense when Jim talks to Tychus after the Zero Hour mission in WoL Jim: "The Hyperion used to be Mengsk's flagship back in the day. Me and Matt decided to 'borrow' her when we parted with him."

[@ThePeteriarchy]

It makes zero sense when in the very bar that triggers the Zero Hour mission, the conversation about Raynor's old badge references the former Confederate Magistrate counting on Raynor's reputation when he hired him to become Marshall. Meanwhile, Matt Horner is obviously below Raynor in rank, and is portrayed to look younger than any of WoL's major characters to have held a political position in Mar Sara. Near the end of WoL when the crew has doubts about Raynor siding with Valerian, he snaps at Horner because Horner "signed up" with the Raiders to follow his orders. The Commander never signed up with the Raiders, he found Raynor first. Raynor also only gains the Hyperion after escaping Tarsonis' ion cannon in the Ep. 1 finale with the Commander, not during that mission itself. Lotta player characters already got retconned. The Magistrate/Commander doesn't have to be one of them.

[@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786]

@@ThePeteriarchy yeah, as cool as it would be to think Matt Horner is the Magistrate, only the SC1 Executor has been explicitly retconned to have been a later character. Even in the novels the Magistrate and the Cerebrate are their own characters. But even if he isn't the Magistrate, Matt Horner has a better backstory; his previous life as CHARLIE VANE.

[@majdavlk649]

i like how the color of your troops changes when you split from the sons of korhal from red to blue

[@wtfduud]

I love how each faction in SC1 has their own color Blue = Mar Sara / Raynor Red= Sons of Korhal / Mengsk Purple = Antigans Orange = Omega Squadron Brown = Delta Squadron Grey = Alpha Squadron / Duke Blue = Surtur Brood Red = Tiamat Brood / Daggoth Purple = Jormungand Brood / Player Orange = Garm Brood / Zasz Brown = Grendel Brood Grey = Baelrog Brood Blue = Sargas Tribe / Fenix Red = Ara Tribe / Aldaris Purple = Furinax Tribe Orange = Auriga Tribe Teal = Akilae Tribe / Tassadar Yellow = Velari Tribe / Player

[@DrVoodoo123]

After getting all the campaign achievements in Starcraft 2 I decided to give this game a shot. Right now I am halfway through Brood War and I have to say that getting a large army of dragoons and reavers to walk up a ramp is more difficult than any Starcraft 2 mission on brutal difficulty. 10/10 would babysit braindead ai again :)

[@ryanfrantz8994]

Try some shuttles for the reavers.

[@e.corellius4495]

shuttles are your friend. lots and lots of shuttles. 20 dragoons, 4 reavers , and 12 shuttles makes for a speedy ball of death.

[@DrVoodoo123]

I have bronze league micro tho :(

[@e.corellius4495]

just dont fly into cannons, turrets, or spore colonies lol. dont need to micro. just fly in drop them off and let them blast your enemies. easy.

[@Lesquidliestone]

Oh god, guiding dragoons up the steps in the dungeon-crawl style missions actually made me want to shoot myself. They're actually incapable of going up by themselves, even if you order a single one to path up. You have to path them up in a very specific mouse click order. Ugh.

[@cesarmedina3600]

Lowko: “Please no spoilers” Lowko too: “Let’s name the video The Betrayal put that in the thumbnail"

[@Crusthide]

Notice the color coding of your units. You were blue back on Mar Sara, then red when you joined Sons of Korhal, and back again to blue in the last mission, when you desert. Terran Dominion gets it's red uniform from Sons of Korhal ,and Raynor's Raiders blue have roots in original militia from Mar Sara and their magistrate. I always wondered what Blizzard could've done with "commander" characters in SC2,like 2k did in XCOM2,but all "tactical prowess" were transfered to hero units,like Raynor and Artanis.

[@jasonx7501]

I kind of thought that Matt Horner was the Magistrate from the terran campaign in the original starcraft, but I think they said this was not the case. Not sure why, it would have made some sense given their relationship together.

[@Chronopie]

JasonX Nah, Horner's just a Battlecruiser captain. He joins the Raiders when they split from the Sons of Korhal (I.e now). The magistrate you play as in SC1 is dead by SC2 according to Word of Blizzard.

[@CrazyDriver666]

JasonX only protoss Executor from ep.3 is confirmed to be Artanis. Others are just no-name commanders, but ep.4 Executor could be Selendis, but it's not confirmed

[@bubbasbigblast8563]

Dead? Nah: "As far as the magistrate goes... You know, at the end of the day, guys, in the original game the magistrate was really a [inaudible] to help tell the story, right? It was never intended to be a really fleshed out character...The magistrate did feel like a fictional part of the universe, but with this game (SC2) we wanted to bring the characters a little more forward and not have that half-step in between the player and Raynor for instance. So we've kind of done away with it, but that does pose an interesting question: is that character still out there in the lore somewhere? Perhaps." There *are* other characters who are just flat out dead, but we haven't gotten to them yet. Anyway, going by the books, the magistrate ultimately put his mad colony evacuation skills (the only thing Raynor can't steal credit for) to use by helping out the fringe colonies that keep getting whacked by the short end of the stick, which seems fitting for a character who has no real reason to continue fighting, but is driven to help people.

[@laward5225]

My favorite part of SC1 was I got to slip into the 'commander' character in ever single campaign and make it me they were all talking to and about and it felt so much more personal than the SC2 route where I have to play as a puppeteer and watch other characters interact with each other.

[@BuGBurnout]

24:34 Remember when they got this recording in SC2 from the old adjutant?

[@Silvergnom04]

This was the most important scene I've waited for

[@aherdofsheep]

Bogdan Gabriel yeah I rembered that aswell

[@alexg1720]

Bogdan Gabriel that was really neat

[@rcredidio]

I was like "holy sh*, so he really said that in the first SC!!" Blizzard is awesome when it comes to cinematics and storytelling, gotta say that.

[@thomasfowke2]

You know, If I had to guess its the same damn adjudant in SC2 torn from the hyperion to get mengsk's tech (tracing beacons and shit) out when they escaped in "the hammer falls"

[@darksombrerehorus]

The spider mines are not "official" detectors but they sense vibrations in ground to locate targets. So they are able to kill a dark templar walking near by but not an archon, workers or any other floating or flying unit. Hoped to be helpfull

[@kivi2547]

Lowko: i dunno if there are dark templar here Me: *laughs in sc lore*

[@rcredidio]

curious here.... why so? the DT didn´t chase the Zerg? (I believe it was a thing only to the 'regular' protoss)

[@kivi2547]

yeah they were kinda hating on each other at the time, i dont really want to go into detail, since it would be spoilery

[@rcredidio]

Vince Kiss oh, ok... Got it ;)

[@cr128]

DTs weren't even a regular unit until Brood War. They show up as a special unit in some missions later in the game, but there is no way for you to make more of them like a normal unit.

[@gewinnendenfluss]

In the expansion, you do though

[@ivanangeli]

Lowko: "Do you thing there could be some hidden in that area?" Siege tank: "Absolutly" perfect sinhronisation (19:00) :)

[@Max58183]

Ah, the infamous final mission of First Episode. I remember how rage-inducing these Ghosts were. Freezing half of your aircrafts moving towards the Ion Cannon. And the first Nuke bombardment performed by enemies. The panic, man, the nerves. Well, this rage actually forced me to learn the power of Science Vessels and their EMP. ...Sweet childhood memories :) P.S. And by the way, Lowko, please, pay attention to colors of enemies. It's a little piece of lore too!

[@shadowdragon714]

You and me both friend. I still have nightmares of the first time i was nuked lmao. I never expected that to happen back then as a kid and i was demolished for not having any detection. Then i discovered the S.V. and never looked back lol.

[@TheNethIafin]

Dammit! I forgot fun fact! This battle occurs on the city ground, not in space. As was told by developers, they had no good tileset for the New Gettysburg's urbanistic environment and so they had to use tileset mostly used for orbital platforms

[@ArneBab]

"I thought the sons of korhal were the good guys now" - THAT is the essence of the story of SC1. It goes straight into my quotes file ☺

[@ibm5155]

23:00, wow, lowko also leaves kerrigan there.

[@ryanchudy3111]

ibm5155 😂

[@benjamindeh873]

You are right! Effin traitor! X)

[@app2530]

I seriously love this playthrough. The starcraft story is so good, Im glad I get to re-experience it now that Im older and can appreciate it even more. And played by one of my favorite yters!

[@izzoArtistry]

When i redid this level, i built 12 bunkers with marines and siege tanks by the zerg ramps to hold off that last zerg push. It worked but I still lost that level. Even after the cheat input to cancel all winning conditions. Found out The zerg spawns free zergling units in their base every second or so to attack. I was trying to change the fate, i was soo disappointed nothing changed.

[@anamariapascu3238]

when i played it few years ago i always place the bunkers first but not with siege tanks coz i was all the time ending with failure coz they wore destroying the structures from zerg and i was losing the game.

[@benjamindeh873]

yeah I did something similar, It doesnt matters what happens, zerg just keep popping out of their base and charging at you. so it kinda seems they are endless soo....eventually you would lose anyway X)

[@DeltronLiveSC]

Ghosts + Lockdown = A lot of dead Mech units. There are 1 or 2 missions in SC1/BW that you can cheese with flying wraiths around the edges of the map, but this is definitely not the mission to try it.

[@Gatsu8601]

yeah, this is more macro oriented genre. :)

[@honorguard7616]

You mean game?

[@Draugre]

Lowko, first off, I love all of your Starcraft videos for 1 and 2. you are my go-to KZbinr when I get that Starcraft itch. You are informative, professional, caring, and just overall fun to watch. One minor thing I ask you might consider, is when you do series like this, could you maybe number each episode? it just makes it easier to follow where the next episode is, unless of course you have a reason for not doing so. Anyway keep doing what you are doing, you are my Starcraft guy.

[@Draugre]

Well, I'm somewhat of an idiot i suppose the playlist is effective in itself, disregard my last comment on that, but still my favorite Starcraft KZbinr.

[@Riledawg]

Lowko, the first mission in this video is the first mission where you can build Battecruisers, so they expect you use them. The best way to complete these missions is how I did when I was a kid: a decent amount of static defense, plenty of Battlecruisers and a few Science Vessels! xD

[@obuhsamateus2298]

@LOWKO, kind suggestion: you could turn the game timer on from options! That way we could see the elapsed time when you're playing through missions. This would be particularly useful for viewers since you cut some parts and the game clock would show the length of the cut parts. BTW, as for the strategy for this mission; the enemy (RED is Mengsk's Sons of Korhal, WHITE is Duke's Alpha Squadron, since you wondered at 28:16) REBUILDS science vessels so after destroying the ones currently on the map your wraiths would only have a moment before new SVs come. Notice, that with the money you use for 12 wraiths you could buy 12 dropships, which fully loaded would carry 96 marines (you did notice the abundance of minerals), which would be more than enough to destroy the target - just watch out those super-annoying lockdowns when moving dropships or any other mechanicals around. Of course the coolest way to do this mission is to go with a group of battlecruisers. It just takes time and easily requires expansion for gas and you also need to prepare for many of them get lockdown'ed by Alpha Squadron ghosts. P.S. 22:34 - the moment & facial expression I looked forward to see. :)

[@inquisitorilyaal3959]

Yes! New one! Lowko addiction to manageable level... Edit; I'm actually playing right after watching the clip and have done since you started the campaign. Sort of inspirational and it makes for a good cliffhanger. :)

[@nakenmil]

Man, I remember being so fucked up when I saw the betrayal as a kid. What a great game.

[@canebro1]

I remember setting up a bunch of bunkers and turrets because I was sure they were going to attack. Stopped the attack but it still surprised the heck out of me.

[@thespider2471]

Was it only me who waited for mainly this episode?

[@jaconi01]

nope xD

[@petercarioscia9189]

Nope same here haha. Loved the cut scene in sc2

[@executor_furinax426]

Hi Lowko, good job defeating the Protoss. Bad job on trying to cheese the last objective. Here is my recipe for a fun strat you can use to clear the entire map on missions 10: You will need: - 12 Wraiths - 1 Ghost - 3-5 Nukes How-to: 1. Attack the red base first. Use a cloaked ghost to take down their radar. 2. Afterwards fly in with your wraith squad to finish off their CC and any unit producing structures. 3. Throw in some ground forces to finish off the stragglers. 4. Attack the white base by repeating steps 1 -3. 5. Ez time with Ion Cannon. Works like a charm eveytime, but execution needs some micro. Best part is you never give the enemy a chance to lockdown your forces. TIP: Place a bunker at every entrance. When you get attacked and the enemy sees your SCV repairing the bunker, they will always send a Science Vessel to Irradiate it. That is when you pick em off with wraith squad.

[@seancarroll9849]

If you are a reader, Liberty's Crusade is a pretty good picture of the Terran Campaign in SC1. It's a good read.

[@antasil5768]

Every once in a while you get nostalgic for an old game, and you wish you could play it again and experience it like it was the first time playing. Watcing Lowko play this campaign is as close as it gets, and his genuine reaction to Mengsk betraying Kerrigan was awesome. I'll keep watching to experience the other plottwists through Lowko :-)

[@gestucvolonor5069]

the whole sc2hots plotline was getting revenge on mengsk for the betrayal, what do you mean lowko

[@jeffd6465]

I get why the Terrans are fighting with one another, I even understand having to battle with the Zerg. But the Protoss are literally incinerating entire planets. Seems like the Terrans might think twice before picking a fight with them.

[@Turbozpeed99]

IIRC, the Protoss are the 2nd creation of the Xel'naga. Since they are the ones that were made after, they believe that they are the "perfect" ones and therefore have to destroy the Zerg to "cleanse" the world (hence why they are literally incinerating planets). The Protoss just see the Terrans as a threat to their mission so that's why those 2 races have conflict.

[@enstatite2479]

It's like you say, they burn entire planets. If all the planets are gone there won't be much terran left.

[@darkotosev9086]

The protoss were the first creation actually, they are just incinerating whole planets because the leaders of the protoss know what a threat the zerg are, and are just leaving no chances for the zeg to survive on those planets. Also they don't care about the terrans and view them as inferior... well the leaders view them like that. Something will happen later of course, during their episode XD

[@Hafer_]

+Turbozpeed99 That's a SC2 thing. At this point the Protoss knew very little about the Zerg or its origins and the ones they encountered in space were more like a curiosity instead of this lethal threat to their survival. Protoss kill Zerg so they don't reach the Terrans but since they consider both as lesser species they just burn entire planets to get rid of the Zerg. The only one who wasn't a fan of killing everyone and thought that the Terrans had to be protected was Tassadar, which is why you see him buddying up with Raynor later

[@Danish_raven]

we have to remember that tassadar is a xel'naga

[@AustralianWalker]

Saddest moment of the original StarCraft. I think it was 1999 when I first saw that. I didn't have Brood War until about 2004.

[@vladock3372]

Yo Lowko, I remember when I was a kid okaying this mission, I always rushed/massed battle cruisers and dropships. When Kerrigan asks for evac I always picked up all my troops and flew them away from the base to the other side of the map.

[@albertlau867]

28:16 blue - raynor red - mengsk white - duke (alpha) orange - confederate (delta) purple - antiga colony (appear in earlier missions)

[@lord_lagimplays6299]

Lowko, I was waiting for your reaction with the betrayal and it was GOLD. If you can recap the cinematics in SC2 Wings of Liberty, you can actually see what happened. Even the dialogue was correct. Plus the briefing in the Hammer Falls was the actual conversation that Jim and Matt used to take him down in WOL when they found the adjutant. Again your reaction is PRICELESS. Keep making more vids!

[@DinahLiddell]

The very first time I played through this mission, the ending of it is what solidified my hook to it. Kerrigan's desperation, Jim's horror, Mengsk leaving her to die, you watching as the Zerg flooded your base in waves, quite a twist.

[@benjamindeh873]

Oh, you never played the Starcraft 1 before? Nice. I prolly had the same reaction to that betrayal X) I love how they do not warn you about the incoming zerg wave like they would do in SC2, all of the sudden you just see hundreds of zerg units swarming your base and you are like lowko "Woh woah woah woah!" And THEN you get the transmition. Storytelling 1.1, show, dont tell. So good.

[@a.m.4373]

24:33 The adjutant here is the adjutant that you need to retrieve from the dominion train in one of the mission in WoL

[@zergling_]

Parts of this was mentioned in Wings of Liberty, now I have more info on the game, thanks Lowko ;)

[@somedude4087]

Rest in Crissalis Kerrigan we still will love you

[@somedude4087]

Based on Lowko's reaktion he never played VoL campaing

[@shadowdragon714]

He has but back when it released almost 7 yrs ago. He mainly played Online rather than campaign so he must have forgotten.

[@Kevkoss]

You have probably already recorded the next episode Lowko, but you can get 2-3 groups of Wraiths. 1 group goes on suicide mission to kill Ion Cannon. Other 2 stay behind to hunt down incoming Science Vessels. You can also try to first drop some of marines to keep other units near Cannon buys.

[@DrSoftShoo]

Loving this playthrough! Gonna add to the resounding call for Battlecruisers + a couple science vessels.

[@jedzubiri8571]

When is the next Darkest Dungeons episode? I know the SC1 hype is real but I still wait for darkest dungeon videos since you often upload them regularly last month. Keep up the good work! The starcraft 1 lore is really amazing. :D

[@KeppyKep]

Lowko was so shocked at the betrayal his face disappeared :D

[@clearlywrong6520]

> Played through SC2 extensively > Can't put two and two together from everything reviewed in WoL that this is where Kerrigan is left for dead

[@pidromepunch2760]

Watching your first reaction to this is amazing.Awesome plot twists every little bit.

[@rhysjones81]

Lowko, the last person alive to know about this betrayal. Being this big in the SC2 universe but not know this is like a Lord of the Rings enthusiast not knowing who Gandalf is.

[@lonefish8128]

StarCraft 1's story is very gud cuz at the end bad characters win. I mean COME ON its not true that always good characters win. " war does not determine who is right - only who is left"

[@TheIndignation]

You can turtle with a couple bunkers and like 4 sieged tanks (just watch out for ghosts + nukes!) and then try to just build up a Battlecruiser squad. That can be a little annoying because of the mass Ghost lockdown you'll run into though. You'll still have to push slowly with them. Alternatively you can get aggressive with a ground force and take the area in the center of the map which has a ton of resources and is only lightly defended (but will then be attacked from all sides). This one is definitely one of the more challenging missions in SC1, but still quite doable. Good luck!

[@dmustakasjr]

Great mission, one of my favorites. I usually pull my buildings down lower then but the add on buildings on them. Then set up dual bunkers with rockets behind them as support against fliers. 2x marines with 2x firebats in front most bunker at each ramp with ghosts and marines at the adjacent ones. helps to keep the ultralisks at bay while not firing up the ramps to kill any buildings with siege tanks. Basically block in the zerg.

[@vodkavecz]

I remember first doing this mission and encoutering the Protoss. They were so alien and ethereal. I loved it.

[@luise.suelves8270]

19:00 Lowko "Do think it could be in that area? SiegeTank "Absolutely"

[@TheGyuuula]

9:50 "mining efficiently" Well said, Lowko, well said.

[@animewanderer41]

Hey Lowko, have you heard of the Patrol+Move micro combo? It basically lets your vultures attack while moving. It's great for taking down zealots. Also remember to get your sat-com station for scanner sweeps

[@StrongBulletProof]

In one of your videos you mentioned you really like stories in games. I do too and I even like to go a bit deeper than campaign :) SC universe has really nice collection of novels I would definitely recommend. I personally haven't read them all yet, but without spoiling I can that if you really are SC universe FAN you should read at least some novels :) My experience so far: Heavens Devils - you meet Raynor and Tychus. (I read it after WoL, so it was awesome to get to know Tychus:) ). Devils Duo - in this you understand why - "Old Tychus gonna love this one" (Raynor says this just before mission where you gonna rob a train). And of course you get to see what bond Jim and Tychus really has. Next I read Ghost - Nova and Ghost - Spectre and all comics. Those give you an understanding of Nova. Her, lets say rough (understatement) patch of becoming a ghost. You actually meet Tosh and there are some interesting history there :) And to top this all up - in one book you actually find out, why Arcturus sacrificed Kerrigan ;) Sorry for a long post - I get exited talking about story books :) PS - thanks for channel.

[@Vandreand]

So Lowko did not know that kerrigan got betrayed by mengsk... If you have not played Starcraft or Starcraft 2 don't read! Huge spoilers! I wonder how will he react when she becomes a Zerg, when Tassadar dies, when Aiur falls, when Stukov is killed, when the overmind is destroyed or when samir duran betrays him...

[@lonefish8128]

Angel Egel Lol his mind will blow up XD

[@cultofnatethemagnificent5879]

Weeeeell he knows now from the comment

[@pudding9082]

Crash Bandicoot WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH at 22:33.

[@Lesquidliestone]

Ok so as it turns out Lowko, this mission IS actually possible with mass wraiths, but you cant ignore the units guarsing the cannon. I believe you need about 24 wraiths, and just pop up to the corner and carefully pick off missile turrets, then pick off the guarding units. If that doesn't work, add more wraiths as needed.

[@simonpetkov6640]

Holy fuck that music gives me sooo much memories

[@Juunniorrr]

That perfect timing 19:01

[@lonefish8128]

LowkoTV: I think it could be in that area. Siege tank: Absolutely.

[@Juunniorrr]

:)

[@copyleft2880]

Siege tank guys are so encouraging.

[@brainwasher9876]

My favorite is when you build a marine and then move a siege tank. "You want a piece of me boy?" "Absolutely"

[@maciejp7829]

i actually bunkered down so much that that zerg forces at the end didnt destroy any of my structures (i kept repairing my bunkers)

[@obake6290]

Damn, you cleared that first mission fast! I'm usually getting attacked by ultras by the time I finish, so I was sure you'd have to restart because you built no defense from the zerg. Second mission though, it looked like you spent at least as much time trying to cheese it as it would take to clear it normally.

[@Tyjohnable]

I'm by no means a great StarCraft player, but it's fucking hard to watch someone use siege tanks and not bring an SCV.

[@HpLyzeDeKiel]

12 battlecruisers is the mandatory way to go for this mission ;)

[@TheHUEZOX]

not at all, they would get lockdowned, and smashed

[@Leo.23232]

They won't, i did that and won easily, you can yamato the turrets and the cannon from a safe distance.

[@HpLyzeDeKiel]

Yeah i played that mission several times when i was a kid and it always worked even tho i couldnt even micro :P

[@benjamindeh873]

Yamato cannon the crap out of that Ion cannon

[@dogman_2733]

When they mentioned ion cannon c&c instantly popped in my head.

[@Jewel475]

"I will rule this sector or see it burnt to ashes" is the quote that the adjutant recorded and that you use in Wings of Liberty to reveal Mengsk true face to the Terran Dominion :)

[@christopherprice4299]

A little late since the Terran campaign is over, but for expansion purposes, if you can keep your troops from destroying the opponent's ad-ons, you can build or land buildings on them and take control of them, complete with energy if they have it (like the comsat station).

[@ihakker1416]

dude that plot twist was actually revealed in WoL, i already knew it before playing remastered, and this is also my first playthrough of sc1

[@temporium3982]

I like how hes probably already played the WoL campaign and acting like he just found out kerrigan got betrayed

[@Onomere]

The full wraith composition is viable just terribly slow. You have to clear the red camp in the northwest then destroy a bunch of towers around the canon. 2 hours max, with constant nukes on your base. Ohhh the good old times. (After a decade I found this map surprisingly easy to solve and managed to eradicate the whole enemy army just for the KEK.)

[@AhmadSammy]

Lowko haven't you played the Wings of Liberty Campaign? There's a flashback video with the events of Mengsk's betrayal of Kerrigan on New Gettysberg..the video even has the exact same lines said by kerrigan, mengsk and Raynor at the end of the mission

[@razgriz8492]

@LowkoTV hey with the hammer falls the last mission don't mass wraiths go mass battlecruisers just defend your base then take the red base on left side and when you have about like 16-24 battlecruisers send them to destroy the ion cannon trust me it works it has worked for me everytime I've done it just wanted to let you know

[@TobiasKremer]

@Lowko How can you be so surprised by the plot twist? I think there is even a cut-scene showing this in SC2.This is the main plot on what is going on with Raynor, Kerrigan and Mensk.

[@xiriusthesoulwatcher3955]

Build 12 battlecruisers. This is a Ye Olde Attack-Move deathball army.

[@fcm101284]

and this is how the queen of blades is born...... btw the briefing at the end is part of WoL where you try to distribute the recording to the media with Tychus using the Thor. This was the grudge Kerrigan held against Mengsk until she killed him.

[@hisser3]

comstat stations can be key bound it's good to know if you're using it a lot. I know it's not all that useful for you but a few bunkers help a lot on missions like this as well. other then that it's always interesting seeing some one with better apm then me. it is enjoyable to watch them play =)

[@Baleur]

Those blue protoss building explosions look spectacular man. Better than original.

[@rlouie05]

I was shocked at this betrayal the 1st time I won this mission too, plus I needed all 200 units to plow through the Protoss while leaving only a few bunkers behind to intercept intermittent Zerg invasions. Very impressed how you only needed only about 12-20 tanks & 12-20 or so Goliaths to win the 1st mission. 2nd mission definitely requires a plan to take down the Science Vessels, turrets & some diversion tactic so the enemy command centers don't expose your cloaked Wraiths.

[@vikachbg2508]

Jim Raynor Finds the Adjudant(not spelled right) that transmits their transmission and uses the part where he says he will rule the sector or see it burn around him against mengsk on Korhal during Wings of Liberty. You are welcome ^^

[@michaelbentsvi5441]

No mention that the line that Mangsk uses there is the same we use to nail him in WOL?

[@eg-a2357]

lowko doesnt know because he is a noob.

[@theshard5697]

I'm pretty sure that's called a joke and that you're overreacting. Chill. Lowko IS in fact a noob when talking about campaign stuff :P

[@nathanbrown8680]

Think how much trouble Raynor could have saved if he'd recorded his transmissions at the time.

[@theshard5697]

Umm ... the adjutant did. They are a plot point in WoL ... but ... whatever I guess

[@pyr666]

red's base is NW of your spawn. you take it using marine/vulture/tank with relative ease, then use a few BCs to escort your troops across the gap. white makes a lot of high tech units, particularly ghosts, and is extremely difficult to attack into. you could kill them with marine/tank eventually, but you don't need to since their base is so far out of the way.

[@asharak84]

a-moving marines into white kills them pretty fast tbh, especially if ~2 BCs come along to yamato the defending tanks at the front. They've only got 3 tanks defending (third is far enough back it's hard to yamato) but you'll kill them quickly with just stimmed marines.

[@TheGalactimus1]

If you get around 3 - 4 teams of Air units you can pretty much snipe every building. For example Wraiths, Mutas and Scouts, this is possible every time your mainobjective is to destroy one thing.

[@SZRLM]

Lowko: That's a long travel distance for gas. Me: Build another CC!

[@TrojanPiece]

Awwww, I wanted to see Lowko's big surprise when he sees the nuke dropping down.

[@BinaryReader]

How the Queen of Blades came to be. The SC2 cinematic for this is great stuff.

[@TheVision_13]

" I will not be stopped. Not by you, or the Confederates, or the Protoss, or anyone! I will rule this sector or see it burnt to ashes around me!" Chills. Every time. One of the best delivered lines in gaming history.

[@jasonx7501]

Yep, Mengsk is a sociopath that craved power.

[@roelthas]

Dude, the betrayal was shown in starcraft 2, there is a cinematic about it, hell, Donny Vermillion even mentions his brother was from Tarsonis when this Mengks recordings go out to the public.

[@hoodiepen]

The first StarCraft and Brood War’s storylines are showing the realities of war, which is why the plot in every campaign episode is so rich and complex. StarCraft II on the other hand is more of a resolution and closure from the previous installment which longtime fans desire.

[@arontimes5042]

Lowko, did you forget the Starcraft 2 teaser videos? That scene was recreated for Starcraft 2.

[@pabloarielcorderovillacort2149]

Kerrigan was one of the Ghosts who assasinate Mengsk's familiy, Angus Mengsk, his father, was assasinated by Sarah when she was part of the Confederacy trying to quell the rebellion of Korhal IV. the day that Korhal was bombarded with nuclear weapons, the Sons of Korhal faction was born. I think that was why Mengsk left Sarah in New Gettysberg.

[@yonokhanman654]

22:25 10/10 for that surprise attack.

[@MrManuBracco]

The Ion Cannon mission is one of the most hard in all of the entire game so far. I hate it so much...

[@seancarroll9849]

The finale is always the hardest in the SC1 missions. This one encouraged slow pushes. Move up, dig in, move up again...And you see a demonstration of the threat of Ghosts and why they should not be taken lightly.

[@MrScotty371971]

Would've loved to see how much you got hurt with that 1st cloaked ghost and how you overcame it but you skipped ahead! Also would've loved seeing you get nuked. Can't wait to see you replay this mission.

[@kijukitten]

also for that second mussion i used a seige goliathn drop from ships and a battlecruiser escort, though i took the red base to support i opened on the red base with a ghost drop then cleaned up with seige goliath.

[@Dracounius]

there is a better way if you want to do the wraith strategy. The enemy doesn't rebuild the turrets (or most buildings for that matter) so you take you control group of wraiths and destroy the turrets at the left side, repair wraiths, destroy second row, repair wraiths, lure out science vessel and destroy it, go in and destroy cannon with your mostly undamaged control-group. Works best if you have two groups of wraiths, so one group can destroy while the other is being repaired/regens energy

[@panikshimo254]

im confused, u played sc2. theres a cutscene of kerrigan stuck down there and mengsk leaving ...... how are u surprised?

[@Riledawg]

LOWKO...........BATTLE........CRUISER........OPERATIONAL!!!!! .....xD I love your channel, Lowko!.... but the key is battlecruisers. :) ......and science vessels.

[@Hekaamy1]

Forgot in which one but story says Kerrigan killed Megnsk father on a mission then got her memory whipped. When Megnsk took over he decided to keep her as a reminder.

[@HazardSJ]

Part of it was Mengsk's personal vendetta against Kerrigan for being the main ghost who killed his father and his family during the Confederacy years. But by this point, he was pretty much working on a power fantasy, like a certain man said: 'I was just using my grief as an excuse to do whatever I wanted.'

[@willmunoz1638]

Biggest political mistakes: #3: Attacking Pearl Harbor #2: Attacking Russia during the Winter. #1: 24:38 - 24:52

[@AlarakTheHighLord]

I remember these missions being a hell of a lot harder when I 1st played back in 98

[@jackofalltrades779]

lowko that strategy at the end works thats how people who speed run sc1 beat this level try it a few more times next video and i bet you'll get it

[@Lappmogel]

Could have saved that siege tank, Raynor has mines from the start and they go after invisible units and you can still repair units in lockdown. Mass BC will also work on this map, you just need some medics with the restoration ability teched to remove the lockdown.

[@Frightning]

This is not a Broodwar mission....no Medics available, I found that BC worked fine on the Red base, but was completely untenable for attacking White's base. Massing a bunch of Marines (like 3-4 groups of 12) was enough to just overpower them (messy at first, Yamato cannoning some of their siege tanks can help a lot).

[@Lappmogel]

That's right.
