StarCraft: Remastered - THE SECRET MISSION!

[@gordeiros]

Now imagine playing this mission when the game was launched, and wait for more than a decade to really know what was the meaning of this.

[@obidamnkenobi]

Yup. I played this in 1998. And now in 2017 I own SC2 but still haven't gotten around to playing the campaign :P. (too busy with 1v1)

[@NeroAllstar]

I was ten years old when i beat sc+sc bw campaign including the bonus mission that i honestly accidently unlocked. I completed some missions more then 20 times and have no clue how often i finished the story, but it was numerous times. Even in 2004 internet guides were still nothing widely spread. I was late to the party but at that time no one gave a fuck if a game was 5 or 6 years old. Funny thing though... i was good enough to beat the whole game while just being ten but i couldnt fully comprehend whats going on in the story for real. So now more then a decade later im enjoying it a second time with great memorys. SC was my very first real pc game and the game that made me fall in love with strategie games and great story lines, it send me on a good course.

[@yugen]

That was me! Everyone thought there was going to be a 4th race in SC2.

[@Asgardians3t]

@Stone Cutter r u serious? ur friends must suck lol the campaign is not hard by any means it just takes time > if u spend 1 full day u could beat all the missions including the original and expansion its super easy (without cheat codes)

[@MrDannNamesake]

I have played this when the game was lanched and got really disapointed with SC2 storyline. Such a big letdown making Raynor save Kerrigan, It doesnt make any sense if you played the first SC. Right now im really trying to finish Legacy of the Void but the story feels so silly, almost like Game of Thrones ending...

[@Kevkoss]

Lowko, you need to finish previous mission in less than 25 minutes to unlock this mission!

[@LowkoTV]

Why didn't anyone tell me this before?!

[@jimroberth3311]

Ursandon knows....

[@dumpsockpuppet5619]

Kevkos wait, it wasv25, and here i wasalways beating my head against the wall everytime i got to 15.01 and having to reset the level while in reality i still had 10 whole minutes everytime.... At the very least i can claim i beat the previous mission in under 15 mins but still

[@DrVoodoo123]

If you finish the next mission in 25 minutes with just drones and blindfolded nothing happens... but it would be impressive

[@TheoneandonlyDrops]

But if you do it in LESS than 25 minutes, you unlock the ability to recruit Ursadons.

[@gorrillawarfair]

Lmao. "Oh look, this secret mission just gave 4 dark archons. Goodbye siege tanks"..."how do i take these turrets out"

[@SimaoRodrigues...]

Ghost kills Lowko's Ursadon. Response: Yamato cannon in the face.

[@ZachBlackforest]

I mean, what other response is there? I mean, if you kill my Ursadon, I'll Yamato Cannon your face as well!

[@SimaoRodrigues...]

xDD

[@TheHegi]

Aftar how he played this map, I was soo happy to see that Ursadon die. He deserved it, 100%! Most satisfying part of the video!

[@TheoneandonlyDrops]

I mean, I Yamato-cannoned people's faces for less.

[@flaem1719]

It was the only logical solution

[@brilliantarrow4125]

"Splicing between zergling and protoss boi underway" "What does that mean? Am i missing something?"

[@gnparticle]

great acting , lowko xD

[@rannierunsfast]

Not acting. Just dumb

[@Vozhban]

Playing a protoss... "Dungeon" map... Killing terrans sitting there to become reinforcements... Where have I seen that already?

[@jameslawrence5116]

That was one hilarious video!

[@user-ut5ki2fi6b]

This has legitimately been the most overcomplicated and roundabout way you could have played this mission. #JustLowkoThings

[@crystaldazz]

That isn't by accident. He knows exactly what he's doing, and it's because it gets him views. No harm in it though; it's still entertaining- which is all we can really ask for. :P

[@blastoiseddr]

Except it's making for a stressful viewing experience

[@robot_thighs]

Hey, a win's a win. It's not a Lowko replay unless it's on Lowko hardmode.

[@TheoneandonlyDrops]

HURRAY! All our constant and annoying reminders paid off and he did it. Obviously WE deserve ALL the credit as Lowko would never have managed to do this without our incessant comments reminding him. No but seriously Lowko, grats... and thanks. ^^

[@LowkoTV]

Oh yeah, totally!

[@TheoneandonlyDrops]

Yay senpai noticed me. Thanks for all the great content!

[@neilzaza1501]

paid off*

[@neilzaza1501]

Don't worry pal, you're not alone since even Duran's spelling isn't perfect, he wrote "it's role" at 20:10

[@okerbel]

Should i take these siege tanks? naaah... URSADON THO MAN HOLY CRAP HEY THERE LITTLE BUDDY

[@yonokhanman654]

An Ursadon almost won him the game, so it is a valid ally.

[@derfzgrld]

Alexandr Belov in a mp game theyre perfect scouts because units dont attack critters automaticly (except of ais units)

[@rujipars]

Lowko always play BRUTAL. He has his own way to make BRUTAL difficulty in SC1.

[@jameslawrence5116]

Difficulty: Normal < Hard < Insane < Nightmare < Lowko.

[@rujipars]

Yeah... seeing Lowko difficulty for a while and agree that there should be a dedicate term for the extraordinary phenomena. Anyway I comment based on his own statement in his SC2 videos. ;)

[@vvvvv7]

*uses mind control on creatures that can't do anything but walk and die over a seige tank and a science vessel, still wins the game* Teach me your ways

[@derfzgrld]

Happy Dog and theyre perfect scouts in mp - units dont attack them automaticly except of ai ones (which might be the only ones on the map...)

[@obuhsamateus2298]

One time I played this mission, I mind-controlled almost every enemy unit (killing just most basic ones, that is, marines). Even took the infested terran. In the end had a huge army carefully positioned around the final stasis cell... And probably I'm not the only one who mind-controlled everything here just for fun. :)

[@seancarroll9849]

No, you aren't. I loved the MC mechanic perhaps a bit too much.

[@immortalsatyr]

I also freed all of the protoss out of stasis cells.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

maelstrom is good for getting those groups of marines mind controlled without casualties. this mission took forever.

[@Oiusea]

I'm a bit disappointed as you did not try to put some Ursadons in the dropship and bring them with Zeratul till the end.

[@marvinmarvin38]

"There are three ursadons roaming the map. If all three are killed, the last contains a broodling in its stomach. " I am worried about your pet lowko.

[@victoralvarez9873]

I'm sick at the moment, but it feels like I haven't checked in with you guys in a while. So this is a perfect time to talk about what videos you guys want me to record when I feel better! Bring back old series, New ideas, different games, anything you want to see from this channel, and LIKE comments you agree with so I see them! (Cosplay 7 and Deadly Spectate 4 are already coming so pls dont comment them)

[@krupam0]

Magnificent, isn't it?

[@rainv1695]

Krupam behold the culmination of your history

[@obuhsamateus2298]

6:02 Zeratul nearly dead already at the beginning with 0/400 24/60 and Lowko goes: "Ah, perfect. 24 HP. More than enough." Awesome. :) LOL You are given FOUR Dark Archons for OBVIOUS mass mind-control and Lowko instantly begins by killing all those special and useful units from siege tanks to Science Vessels. So awesome. :P

[@razvanagafitei502]

Guy: hey Lowko, why are you killing those siege tanks and science vessels? Lowko: because I can. Lowko a few minutes later: I really needed those units now :))))))))))))

[@voidedlegacy7209]

spell Duran backwards

[@espartan896]

If you take a SCV with the mind control and use the cheat "show me the money" u can build a Terran army

[@btristan1996]

Moises Pérez I’m pretty sure the SCV building is disabled this mission

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

I did that too. xD +Tristan Brito - It's enabled. At least, I think. Or did I had to use the Unlock All Research cheat to allow building contructions?

[@thomasmckinnon9611]

Lowko isn't going to use a cheat.

[@espartan896]

Tem just was a curiosity, I didn't say that lowko would use cheat (:

[@espartan896]

Tristan Brito may can be disabled on ST Remastered, but in ST you can use the cheat

[@msicnnmn083]

Supposedly if you kill all the ursadons on this map, the last one has a broodling inside it. If the ursadon carried a parasite, Kerrigan might have known more than Duran realized.

[@jameslawrence5116]

Special broodling. No timer.

[@freaklingbwmn3052]

Broodlings created by trigger are always permanent. The Broodling belongs to the red Terran player, though, so it's probably meant to be one of their experiments, not a spy for Kerrigan.

[@Dantick09]

I didn’t know that, I will have to try that

[@AtrumDelorox]

I thought we'd seen it all. I thought killing Raynor's Raiders in vanilla SC was the best we would get between the two campaigns, but damn if you didn't Lowko this mission just as, if not MORE, hard... magnifique! Four full energy, fully researched, Dark Archons. Others: "Mind Control EVERYTHING!" Lowko: "Better not use them." lowLUL

[@mehmeh25]

Duran: BE prepared to face the greatest threat your race has ever seen: A saturday morning cartoon villain.

[@TheMalsz]

This is the best Mission ever, it opened everything for StarCraft II, I was so hyped about it after playing it like 10 years ago

[@DnosSFS]

I love this mission along with all of SC+BW. Yet SC2 was a huge disappointed for me, really enjoyed the cutscenes but the way they took the story was a let down. Far to warcraft like. In 1998 my 9 year old mind made a more compelling sequel than what Metzen thought up.

[@DnosSFS]

Knew exactly what he was doing?! Oh come one you cannot believe that. With the retcons it is very obvious he had no idea where he was going with the story. It was called warcraft in space due to the gameplay not the story, SC2 is warcraft in space

[@DnosSFS]

Well I'lll take that as a compliment, as my intent was to insult Metzen. Why are you so insulted about about a half assed joke, are you Metzen? There is no intentional misinformation of the zerg history, it was a plain retcon. Which they may of tried to explain later.

[@DnosSFS]

What the fuck, your still going on? Trying your hardest to defend the bad decisions sc2 went through, I love starcraft for the serious tone not the Saturday morning cartoon story line and dialogue that sc2 displays. Not a bad game, but as a sequel it doesn't hold up.

[@DnosSFS]

Raynor/Kerrigan romance added in from No where. Raynor's change of heart to Kerrigan "I'll be the man to kill you" changed to " I never gave up on you" Primal Zerg retcon Corny DBZ beam fight Everything explained by "prophecy" Tassadar and overmind making an appearance Super sayain Kerrigan saves the day There is far more things that is wrong than just that list. Pretty much everything I've seen in a cartoon.

[@haotianzhou2871]

In the last part, you could just put a shield on the dropship with your science vessel...

[@BigKingReal]

Mind control is only for Ursadons that Bc wanted to be there(i've always asked myself how do you control a ship with many people inside) well Ursadons they are cute,strong,useless and Cute!!! #saveUrsadons

[@zebadiahsalek5877]

narud is duran backwards

[@biembi445]

I would have never noticed, ty! lol

[@drumbasshd9525]

lol i never tried to spell it backwards

[@davidjapuntich3860]

But what does that say about Artanis?

[@mulder1979]

And sdrawkcab is backwards backwards.

[@ThePalatineHill]

"WHAAAAAAAAT YOUUUUUUUUUUU DON"T SAAAAYYYY?!?!??!?!?!?!

[@andrews9695]

accidentally maelstorms instead of mine control like 50 times. Mind controls the ursadons perfectly every time...

[@conundrum60690]

Lowko going thru Ursodons like a 5 year old with his first gold fish.

[@nnelg8139]

Why no mind control? >.

[@TheoneandonlyDrops]

why not Zoidberg?

[@BaddeJimme]

How did he get the dropship?

[@Fidel_L.Bousquet1970]

Because he's Lowko... Battlecruisers? Siege Tanks? Science Vessels? Marines? Nah, the best option is to mind control the Ursadons... XD

[@sondalo511]

J.F.L. Bousquet absolutely the best option

[@SuperSpinko27]

Mind control had to be saved for priority targets, like the Ursadons

[@danielcontos5541]

Its pretty amazing with the world building. This game was 12 years older than its brother and they already knew close to what they wanted the next game to be about.

[@epicbiohacks1495]

Now you know why Stukov hates Narud

[@davinderc]

Because he came up with the album Narud Sandstorm?

[@rainv1695]

Davinder Chandhok lol

[@pabloarielcorderovillacort2149]

When you play Last missions of Hearth of the Swarm, click many times on Stukov inside the Leviathan, he says "...Gerard old friend..." and some sad words... DO IT NOW!!! T_T

[@voidedlegacy7209]

spell Duran backwards

[@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786]

Well no, you dont find out until the Stukov Series lol

[@voidedlegacy7209]

19:46 dr. narud? aka Amon servant???

[@vladock3372]

I seriously can't believe that after all the countless times I've beat SC1, and after beating SC2, that Duran is Narud spelt backwards. I literally just had an epiphany.

[@WaterCrane]

Was a little frustrating watching this in places, but well done on completing this. To explain the Dark Archon abilities: - Feedback is the same as in SC2. Useful to insta-kill Wraiths.- Maelstrom is an AoE stun, but it only affects biological units. It is great when combined with Psionic Storm.- Mind Control needs no introduction.

[@TheoneandonlyDrops]

Mind control is for taking over Ursadons

[@Thougar]

Mind Control does need a note though, It depletes all the dark archons shields. Use carefully.

[@obuhsamateus2298]

Of all Lowko's SC/BW playthrough this is easily the funniest to watch. We are hereby well entertained. :)

[@coldfusion230]

Why did Lowko not mind control the SCV?

[@ibm5155]

0 minerals

[@Gabrielbarsch]

actually, you get 200 minerals after mindcontrolling a SCV

[@arbitner]

Lowko things

[@freaklingbwmn3052]

_Actually_ actually, you get 100m/100g, which can be used to either build a Supply Depot for the lulz, or to repair one's Terran units.

[@jameslawrence5116]

That tends to happen when you play Zerg a lot.

[@teodoraleksiev7597]

*sees hybrid then sees Duran*. *realases that Duran spelled backwards is Narud*

[@johannesschubert7739]

Blown = Mind

[@ГригорийГ-ч4н]

Not too quick, aren't ye? xD

[@NiraSader]

Very interesting that so much of SC2's story has been set up in this mission, and it's not even a main storyline mission.

[@Fireluigi1]

A little tip for the future lowko! If you find those weird flying critters, you can use queen Parasite on it so when it flies about, it reveals a lot of the map! Or you can just use the Queen Parasite on the enemy dropships/science vessels/Observers, when they go back and forth, you get alot of vision that way too

[@terrachoga1561]

It felt so long waiting for this video :D

[@tehmoros]

I learned something today. I've never bothered to check if I can mind control the critters on the map. Well... Now I know it's possible. ;) As for the foreshadowing: this mission was the first what came to mind once I got to know the SC2 storyline. As always, it was fun to watch you play it. :) I'm off now... Time to play some SC myself. :D

[@derfzgrld]

Piotr Mrożek critters dont get attacked by units (except of ai ones) so theyre perfect scouts in mp - i tried out a few years ago

[@Gianski150]

Plot Twist: Zerg was controlling Lowko all this time

[@stefancraft1]

This mission always gives me chills. It's been a fun series. Good luck with the last mission of this awesome campaign, Lowko! Keep it up! :)

[@obuhsamateus2298]

Gotta hand it to Lowko, the final move was quite impressive! A piece of advice though, in such situations the science vessel's (if available) defensive matrix ability would be PURE GOLD. You could put the matrix on both the transport AND the ground unit inside (before loading him). Then the transport lives far longer under fire and the unit inside too after unloaded. There's only ONE mission left: Omega. We're in for a lot of action.

[@UEDCommander]

Hey, Remastered team forgot to make a "comix-style" intro for those green text in the beginning.

[@TheHalogen131]

Yep, but they made a cool new Zeratul art. The previous one was good but this one is even better!

[@KingOfBlades27]

Pretty sure they didnt forgot anything.

[@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786]

@@TheHalogen131 That was actually originally Artanis in BW, but I guess they repurposed it here to be Zeratul.

[@davidjapuntich3860]

Along with Mind Control, Parasite and Hallucination also work on critters. As for the Wraiths, the easiest thing is to kill them instantly with Feedback before they can cloak. Mind Controlling the SCV is also nice as you can repair your other Terran units.

[@MartinMaiksnar]

Lowko, do you remember that "Dungeon crawling" where did you kill all marines which would help you? You did it again!

[@makaramuss]

zerathul literally fears hybrid example lowko:"am I missing someting obvius?" me: nah.... just entire starcraft 2 storyline you just finished nothing else :P

[@dmitrypuchkov2699]

Hi, Lowko! I like your videos, your style and attitude. You're good both as player and commentator. I admire your your positivity and energy. That's why I recommended you to all of my friends. Good job, man! I hope you'll be successful.

[@Sgtnolisten]

“If you kill critters, you’re a terrible person” *in my head the 1812 Overture begins to play composed of all the animals in Blizzard games I ‘accidentally’ clicked 25 times on*

[@calebmoore-verity]

This mission was in the original Brood War dud, not manufactured specifically for the remaster just in case you weren't/aren't aware which is what it seems like

[@timwormus]

Watching Lowko play this is hilarious. Lowko: Yamatos Science vessel Also Lowko: "Where's my detection!?"

[@erickchristensen746]

All of this prepped for SC2 12 years before its release lol And yes, you made the right choice to take the adorable ursadons

[@francopoma2487]

OMEGA will make you CRY for HELP! You have to snap every minute man.

[@vrabo3026]

Duran: My voice is extremely echo-y in this mission so what I say is much more menacing.

[@Crusthide]

HAHA ,Lowko,and no eco mission always make a great video

[@sfukuda512]

Every time I MC'd a ghost I had the urge to nuke. I was like, can't even build a cc. Forgot about "show me the money" makes this mission hilarious.

[@CreatureOfTheVoid]

use feed back on units with energy, the more energy the more damage, it also prevents units like ghosts and wraiths clocking because the energy count is set to 0, maelstrom just stuns units for a limited amount of time and mind control though VERY useful not only eats your archons energy but their shield too making them very vulnerable to counter attacks, but yes with proper planning you had more then enough with 4 dark archons and one standard archon to break into that base, it would have just taken time to bait the units out on place to take them over or kill them

[@RubberFacee]

Lowko, you have to finish every mission under 25 to unlock a super secret level

[@OneMeanDragon]

the hybrid was a forshadow of what didnt happen, they were the 4th race that was never added. i think you can still find referances to that fact even now.

[@douglasmacarthur8482]

8:18 yes you wasted then energy of all archons. In starcraft 1 you have to manually pick all units before using the skill otherwise all units will spend the energy together

[@okamiman73]

Question Lowko: are you planning to replay the SCII campaigns after Brood War?

[@Skund79]

Why not mindcrontol the cute Ursadon? 2 minutes later and he did it :D

[@Mythy001]

Lowko surely know how to create his own game difficulty LUL love ya lowko

[@pipoyreglos193]

scouting with critters, we've been using that for a long time, sometimes even on multiplayer games

[@Xachremos]

This whole episode was just lowko storming his own marines for 22 minutes

[@Riflekilla]

sometimes is soo hard to watch him play...

[@immortalsatyr]

his worst game yet period!!! Every move triggered me!!!

[@Onkel_Ranger]

Nonono. the Protoss Mission were he stormed his ally marines was the worst.

[@immortalsatyr]

which was that?

[@Onkel_Ranger]

He named it RESCUING ZERATUL

[@immortalsatyr]

gratitude, sir.

[@willmunoz1638]

Who else got a mindfrick a couple of episodes back when they realized that Duran spelled backwards is Narud. As in an identity the Xel'naga Narud assumes is uncreatively named.

[@rayvincyful1]

It's 2019 and Amon has been defeated, and I hope those ursadons are still alive.

[@traptraptrap8516]

If you click manual attack on the stasis cell buildings, you'll find two high templar and one archon, and four zergling

[@Nalaholic1]

If you go back to certain missions, you can hear Duran's voice changing a bit, getting distorted in his speech. Some being the last terran mission, when you win, and Duran adresses Admiral DuGalle. The mission, where you have to kill Alexei Stukow: in the briefing: "But perhaps Stukov's loyalty isn't..." And more. Give them another listen if you want! :)

[@TheBrood525]

Instead of mind controlling a SCV or the genetic engineer, Lowko immediately goes OOHH AN URSADON!

[@comradestarbucks2726]

Oh the next mission is wonderful. If I remember correctly, you start with Hive tech and an expansion in plain view of your base. The only sane reaction to those circumstances is _"Oh no..."_

[@clargonaut6015]

I think the secret mission was meant as a bridge between SC1 and SC2 and this was Narud's research area for making hybrids.

[@Sam-ri1qh]

Spam clicking a critter would make them go nuclear. Brings a tear to my eyes every time :')

[@hypernoid0178]

MAKE SURE TO COMPLETE THE MISSION IN UNDER 25 MINUTES, OR ELSE!!!1!!!!

[@BigKingReal]

Do starcraft 2 campaign after lowkursadon :3

[@Trucy-Wright]

Lowko - type of person that mind controls critters instead of siege tanks.

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

And kills Terran allies (in an earlier Protoss mission). xD

[@lodwkeef]

well, at least he had some actually useful mind controls the second time around, it's learning!

[@nastykhan7746]

That small mini-mission basically proves, that early concept for SC2 story existed 12 years earlier... It was never: "Hey, how about we reboot star-craft? Twas so great game! :)" It was always: "Brothers, the time of Great Awakening has come. Open The Vault!"

[@TheAngryHippie]

This mission haunted my childhood.

[@retloclive9118]

Given 4 Dark Archons > Chooses to mind control Ursadons

[@RiotDuel_Wisdom_and_Eternity]

You needed that Science Vessel to detect stealthy units and for other abilities.

I enjoyed most of this playthrough but this one was pure torture.

So is this from the core game or the expansion?

[@tusk3260]

at 10:52 im like "GET THE SCV!" then he kills it without noticing and i facepalmed myself

[@jkobain]

Lowko, you don't know that science vessels do have „Irradiate“, „Defensive Matrix“ and „EMP“ spells, do you?

[@ara_ara-]

Kerrigan narrow understanding will kick your ass in the void mr. Narud

[@teejay4034]

Mealstrom technicly an aoe 'lockdown' on biological units, but it has a lower cooldown as I remember. Making biological units at the targeted are to unable to attack, move, and use abilities.

[@MrStalkerhunter]

That science vessel could have come in handy at the start

[@MagicMan3K]

Give Lowko only Dark Archons and he will find a way to use another unit but will use it to MC neutral units.

[@ultramarinus2478]

If you mindcontroll the SCV, you can repair total 200 HP of any mechanical unit(s) - (TANK, cruiser, science vessel, wraith, goliath, dropship, vulture)

[@Kellard_27]

So that's why Narud is called Duran. Nice job Blizzard

[@Th0ughtf0rce]

9:40 was a heart attack moment when I first played this. Until I realized Zeratul was cloaked and sliced the IT no problem. Whew

[@bzdziawka7321]

I had no idea this mission was secret. I just assumed it was just part of ordinary campaign when I played it.

[@HoggleToggler]

I had a full dropsip of marines that got mind controlled while I wasn't looking and they wrecked my base.

[@孙林可]

Is this HT the only non-heroic unit appeared in briefing room in the whole campaign?

He's the highest templar.
