[MISSION IV: THE HUNT FOR TASSADAR]
- Find Tassadar
Mission objectives after finding Tassadar:
- Bring Tassadar and Raynor to the beacon
- Tassadar and Raynor must survive
This mission is divided in two phases - a baseless section and a part where you do get a base.
The starting phase is the baseless one. You start with four each of Zealots and Dragoons with a new unit joining for this mission, the High Templar. Your objective is to find Tassadar.
Move out of your starting area and take down the few Zerg that will unburrow right away. Not far from it is a Sunken Colony, you will need to cast Psionic Storm with your High Templar a bit to the right of the colony to fry the burrowed zerglings. Use the other units to destroy the Sunken Colony.
From this point, there's a fork in the road - both left and right paths do lead to Tassadar but I preferred the left path since that one is less dangerous. A bit to the left of the Sunken Colony you've just destroyed is a ramp, go up to it, kill the zerg that will attack. Continue along this raised platform till you see another fork - take the left path since I find that pathway less annoying.
You will stumble upon an area with two ramps, these are filled with burrowed Zerglings, kill them with your units or fry them with Psionic Storm. There are more burrowed zerglings after these ramps inside the white plating, kill them as well. There are more zerglings near the ramp at the end of this white plating area, use Psionic Storm to dispose them.
At this point, the path is clear to Tassadar's base, it's on the Northwest side of the map, which is just a bit up of your position. You will soon assume control of the base but this also means the Tiamat Brood (Red) will now be active. This also begins the second phase of the mission.
For the second phase of the mission, you need to bring Tassadar and Raynor to the beacon at your starting point. It won't be easy as the path is now reinforced with the minions of the Tiamat Brood. Start off by building up your economy and unlocking the tech for High Templars. Also reinforce the ramp to your right with Photon Cannons since that is where the red zerg forces will attack from the most. You might also need to reinforce the ramp to your south since the red zerg sometimes drops off units there. Also the Tiamat Brood will not hesitate to annoy you with Spawn Broodlings from time to time. I swear... Zerg Queens are just as annoying as enemy Death Knights in WarCraft II.
Once you got enough resources and researched the High Templar's abilities. Time to ready the units you'll use to escort Tassadar and Raynor to the beacon. I went with mostly High Templars with some Dragoons. The former for spamming Psionic Storm on enemies. It's so fun. The Dragoons are to deal with the aerial enemies.
Just cautiously make your way back to the starting point - with Raynor and Tassadar while casting Psionic Storm on enemies and having the rest of the escorts on guard to ensure the Zerg won't get close.
The mission is done once Tassadar and Raynor steps on the beacon
