- Mission Background
- You, the Cerebrate, have grown powerful enough to warp travel with the Swarm to the planet Char, where the Chrysalis is to be nested. However, lingering Protoss forces will try to block your exit from Tarsonis. Your objective is to get the Chrysalis safely to the Beacon so that it may be sent to Char.
- Walkthrough
When this mission starts, you are given two Drones, three Hydralisks, two Mutalisks, and six Hunter Killers. The Hunter Killers are powerful versions of Hydralisks that have been given to you by Cerebrate Daggoth, and must be awakened by sending one of your units near them.
Immediately get your economy going--build at least 10 Drones for mineral gathering and then about four more for gas. Meanwhile, group the Hydralisks and Hunter Killers together and have them guard the border of your base (put them on Patrol if you wish). When you have the resources, build a Hydralisk Den, convert your single Creep Colony into a Sunken Colony, and morph another Creep Colony (to be converted into a Sunken later on) in the southern part of your base. You may also research Burrow, but it's not critically important in this mission.
