Gold Split is a 3 part achievement where each part has to be done in under 8 minutes. I believe the Vorazun and Alarak section is the easiest one to fail because it can be easy to get caught up in trying to sneak around. However, quickly bullying through the areas with Alarak is pretty great since he's insanely overpowered. The Karax section is helped most by having Matrix Overload for extra unit attack speed while near Karax, which is pretty much always. The final section with Artanis is pretty easy to just run through - I don't think you can actually get it done in over 8 minutes since the whole mission is forcing you forward on a timer.

Double Tap was a bit of a pain to get done - I tried several methods including wrathwalkers and vanguards before deciding that being boring with blink stalkers would do the job nicely. Time Stop is nearly mandatory for this as it trivializes the last crystal's defenses, which are substantial. Chrono surge to get +2 attack on the stalkers was pretty good, but I don't think it's mandatory. The void enemies attack a lot, so be ready to reload and defend your base.

Finally, Big Spear Diplomacy is fairly vague with what "not using the Spear of Adun" is. In short, don't use any active abilities. Note: Reconstruction beam no longer causes failure of this achievement as of August 24th, 2020. I pulled this setup from the forums to guarantee that everything works. Void rays and carriers are entirely busted, so feel free to demolish everything in this mission with them. Walling an entrance in (similar to Last Stand) and using Corsairs for disruption web worked incredibly well and I recommend it in all scenarios, especially if you want to do this on Brutal.
