Starcraft 2 Welcome To The Jungle
Contents.Notes You can use the starting from this mission.Primary Objectives. Capture 7 canisters of Terrazine gas. Don't let the Protoss seal off 7 altars.Alternatively:.
Kill everything ProtossGuide There are 13 Terrazine deposits in total on the map. The Protoss base is located in the upper left hand corner of the map, and they'll be launching periodic attacks on your base.
The heaviest concentration of altars are on the left side of the map, and in the middle. You can essentially ignore the 4 altars on the right side of the map for the purposes of completing this mission's primary objectives. There is a Protoss expansion that you can destroy to the North of the base, which opens a path so your forces can quickly seize the center of the map.Suggested army composition for brutal:. Bioball (requires both upgrades for Marine and Medics.). Goliaths, Marauders (maybe Medics if you have the time), Missile Turrets (requires both turret upgrades)Upgrades that will make your life easier:.
Both turret upgrades (area damage and more hp). Marauder HP upgrade. Marine both upgrades. Medic both upgradesYou start off on the bottom center part of the map, with a small force.
The Protoss will be using a lot of air units on this map, so you'll want to skew your unit composition in favor of Goliaths, Marines, and Medics. You'll also want to supplement your forces with Marauders though, because the Protoss do have access to Colossus and Storm on this map, which will rip through Marines, and you'll want some Marauders to tank for your Marines and snipe Colossus.Once the mission starts, immediately start mining resources and building up your army. You'll want to move quickly because the mission shifts into a race against time rather quickly. Supplement your initial forces with a Medic and Marauder, and move out to capture the altar to the left of your base. You don't want to build too many Goliaths early in the mission, as Stimmed Marines and Medics are much more effective in smaller numbers, and you'll want your gas to start researching upgrades.
Part 1 of a video walk-through for the mission Welcome to the Jungle is StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty. This play through is done on Hard difficulty and satisfies the requirements for all 3.
Once you've built a sufficient amount of Medics, then you can start incorporating more Goliaths into your army.Tactic (if using Goliath, Marauder, turret army; requires both turret upgrades) on brutal difficulty:. Ignore the altars on the right side, let the Protoss have them. Collect the nearby 1st protoss relic. Do not mine any Terrazine gas as it triggers an attack which will cause losses. Start the upgrade for infantry attack/defense near the beginning of the mission.
Don't bother building more production buildings (I didn't need to), and make sure to keep pumping SCVs. You don't need another base, so don't bother trying to claim the middle base. Build a Tech Lab first, then focus on building marauders first, goliaths second. Your turrets will do most of the air damage. Build another Refinery when you need to. Right after the Protoss tries to seal the first alter, take them out. Then IMMEDIATELY push up the left side with your army and 2 SCVs.
The defenses will be minimal. Immediately build 4 Missile Turrets with the SCVs in between the two gas geysers. You now control 4 geysers. DO NOT MINE any Terrazine since it triggers an air attack and you won't be ready. Wait, and continue massing troops between these two geysers. Build two turrets at the ramp at your home base 'just in case' of an attack. Keep one or two Goliaths back there just in case.
Use mercs if you have to. Soon, the Protoss will attack the left side trying to seal it. The turrets + Goliaths will demolish their air, your Marauders will demolish their ground. Micro to avoid storms. Now push up.
There will be a Pylon and two cannons with units here. Attack a unit and lure it into your turrets. Take out their mini base. You won't have a lot of time. Make sure you have at least 3+ SCVs when pushing up and don't get them killed. If you can't push past the mini base with minimal losses, then your army is too small.
Pull back and wait some more. There are 4 geysers nearby up there. The Protoss can seal one of them. You must push out after the Protoss seals one of them. If you still can't do it, restart the mission and try again.
After you take out the Pylons and cannons, immediately rush up and go down the ramp. Then build at least 6 turrets in between the two geysers. You now control 8 geysers (or 7 if the Protoss managed to seal one). It's highly likely that another Protoss army will show up while you're trying to build the turrets. As long as you were able to take out the mini-base without any problems, then you should be able to take out this protoss army. There is a 2nd Protoss relic to your left, take out the defense and grab it.
Continue building turrets and massing troops here for the rest of the mission. Have at least 4 SCVs. 12+ turrets is a good number. If your macro is bad and you have too many leftover resources, build another Barracks and start pumping out Marines + Medics. Always make sure you have enough Marauders.
Don't bother building a Reactor/Tech Lab on the new Barracks, you won't have enough time. If you have guts, send an SCV to all 7 or 8 geysers and then watch in hilarity as your turrets and defenses tear through their army since the Protoss will always come from above.
Starcraft 2 Welcome To The Jungle
If you have exces Minerals, you can build a Command Center in between the north 4 geysers, this will greatly reduce the time they need to bring back the canisters. If you want to be safe, send 2 SCVs at a time to mine while always keeping your army by the massive turret defense. Always mine the top most ones first. This is because, if you get overrun, you can fall back to your previous 4 turrets for defense (assuming you finished mining the top geysers already). Mining the top 4 (or 3 if one is sealed) is a priority. Warning: the SCV on the top right geysers here will try to walk through the protoss base, micro him back through the safe path. Before you begin mining the 7th gas, make sure you have enough defenses as it triggers a huge force.
If you can't handle it, reload and continue building turrets and forces. After you mine the 7th gas, DO NOT deposit the Terrazine at your Command Center. Leave the SCV with the gas near the Command Center, pull back your army. Build turrets at your base ramp. Then run down and right, and then back up to collect the 3rd relic. Do not fight anything, just keep running.
Your entire army might die, but it doesn't matter. If you don't know where the relic is, save, and then run around exploring. If all your units die before finding it, reload. Prevent the Protoss from capping a Tal'darim Altar in the 'Welcome to the Jungle' mission on Hard difficulty.10To get this achievement, solely focus on production of (compared to Goliaths) more mobile infantry (Marines, Medics, Marauders). 2 Barracks with Reactors and 1 with a Tech Lab should do the trick. Get the 4 canisters closest to your base first, then go to the south-east one. Keep producing bio all the time.
When the Protoss try to cap the 2 center altars at once, push in with your infantry ball, and focus on the Colossus and the capping Probes first. If they are capping an altar far to the north, take a group of Hellions around the right side of the base north of yours, and suicide run them to attack the Probe. You might want to just clear that path all the way to the last artifact, so that if they try to cap, you can get the Hellions there easier.
An alternate method is to make an army with only Marines and Medics (I used one Barracks with a Reactor). Start massing an army and wait for the first protoss seal attempt (it should be near the SW corner). Attack the small seal squad, collect the two nearest gas, and mass a few more infantry. If you have extra minerals use them on Goliaths and the infantry upgrades. Collect the two Terrazine near the previous ones (also in the SW corner), and continue making Marines + Medics. When the Protoss attempt to seal an altar on the east wall, send your army plus 3 SCV's, and leave 6 Marines + 2 Medics for defense (an extra Missile Turret or two helps).
Mine the three lowest Terrazine along the east wall at around the same time. You can keep all of your defense at the northernmost one - all Protoss attacks will go there. For this method you need to be very quick - the game should finish at around 15 minutes. This avoids stopping the more distant seal attempts.
Easy and cheap: Wait to tackle this mission until you've unlocked Vultures. With even moderate micro skills you should be able to swoop 3-4 Vultures in, snipe the Probe, and zip away without any casualties.
The Vultures will have plenty of time to get repaired before the next seal attempt. As a plus, the spider mines aid in ground base defense, making it even easier to focus on anti-air defenses. Don't bother trying to use the mines to preemptively defend the Terrazine nodes, the Protoss air support will destroy the mine as soon as it pops up.Another easy trick is if you have the Reapers timed mine ability. Just send 1-2 Reapers to the terrazine getting sealed and have them throw their mines.
The Probe doesn't move and it should die if your Reaper manages to throw the mine.Feat of Strength. Destroy all Protoss structures in the 'Welcome to the Jungle' mission on Normal difficulty.0This one is simple: Build a defensive position outside the two entrances into the Protoss base, far enough away that Colossi can only approach your two defensive lines from one chokepoint each. Six turrets and three Bunkers per defensive point, with 2-3 SCV's to repair, should hold the line easily. This means you have no further worry about the Protoss attempting to cap the Terrazine deposits, and you can safely mine minerals and gas while building up your army to your heart's content. Wait until just after a Protoss attack and send your forces in to victory.
