I played in 1998. It was years after sc2 came out that I was good enough to finally beat sc1 and get the secret mission. To tell you the truth the most gratifying accomplishment is realizing no one I've met has ever beat the Sc1+bw campaign without cheat codes.

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.

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.

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! :)

It felt so long waiting for this video :D

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!"

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

"Am I missing something obvious?" Lowko

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

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

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.

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

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

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

This video was hilarious! loved it

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.

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.

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

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

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

This stage is plot twist for Starcraft 2.

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

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

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

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

This mission was in the original brood war. I remember doing it waaay back when lol

You should really go through the SC2 campaigns on brutal. Watching you go through these is a lot of fun.

Now we wait for Lowko Ursadon Pillow Plush

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! :)

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..."_

Idk if you noticed...but i think you did, but look at Samir's name, i was really a forshadowing. Duran, duraN, Narud. Just wanted to say, it was really intrigued when i played the campaign and how the developers used Duran's name haha. Also gg on the sneak dropship haha.

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

How is loko's UI panels so beautiful...?

Lowko, or the art of turning Starcrat into Pokemon.

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

I remember going "yep I'm gonna complete this without cheats" when I was a kid just to go all "power overwhelming" in the end lmao

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

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

We all know that Duran is Narud but did you know that Narud is the Ursadon!! Take out the S and the O and then rearrange the letters! lol
