Broodwars campaign question

[GtPrOjEcTX]

Playing as Protoss and on the mission looking for the first temple...mission objectives - destroy Zerg celebrates. Alright, I've killed everything but the two celebrates, so I kill them, and as soon as I kill them, they pop back up, I kill them again and they pop back up...well, they've popped back up 27 times now...how do I get rid of these things???

Only the magic of the Knight Templars can kill the Cerebrates. I had a tough time figuring that out too. Attack the cerebrates with nothing but Knight Templars and they won't respawn.

nik (btw.... wrong forum)

Knight Templars? What the heck is that? You mean Dark Templars?

whoops, didn't even know there was a "Software - Applications, Programming and Games" forum.

Yeah, the Dark Templars are evil Knight Templars.

Alright, Not playing Dark Age of Camelot....but Broodwars...there aren't any Knight Templars.

I know what game you're playing, dumbass. I own it. I've beaten it. Time and time again.

The Dark Templars are a clan broken off from the main group. The main group is degrading and the Dark Templar left because of it. I've never played Dark Age of Camelot and semi-vaguely remember the original clan being called Knight Templar.

Or, atleast, that's what I remember from four years ago. Geez, man, get some new games.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

have all the new games...never played StarCraft/Broodwars...always been a FPS guy...but this game rocks...ok, off to make some dark templars.

Okay, make two of them. Then highlight the two and click the little button to merge them - Save up and make about four of these merged units - then send them out to kill just about anything. Four of them take down the Cerebrates in something like 10 seconds or 20 seconds or something.

Um...u sure you know what you're talking about? If you merge 2 Dark Templars they become Dark Archons and can't kill anything. Are you thinking of regular Archons? Those suckers are strong but can't kill off a cerebrate w/o it coming back. Only Dark Templars can.

Also, why was it so hard for you two to figure out that you can only use dark templars to kill the cerebrates? Don't they tell you in the game to use Dark Templars? I'm pretty sure they did b/c I remember them saying something like "Only the power of their warp blades can kill them off"

2ndly, Nik, have you played the hidden stage yet in broodwars? Its in the zerg mission. Its a pretty cool stage, hints at a Starcraft 2 in the future.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

alright, the dark templars got em. pretty quickly too. thanks, that was getting annoying.

STUPID WORK PROXIES!!!! I had this whole post typed out and my connection dropped right after clicking reply. Now I have to type it out all over again. This wouldn't be a problem if I weren't so lazy.

Anyway, no, I'm no sure what I'm talking about. Like I said, that was four years and loads of better games ago. It's still a classic, though. Those glowing storm type things that zap other units are 100% kickass. I never paid attention to the briefings because I thought they were boring. That's why I probably missed the line about the warp blades. I just read the "to-do" list and started the level. ON TO THE KILLING!!!!

Actually, I haven't seen any sort of secret level.exactly what Zerg mission is it in and what criteria are required to get into it? Dude... the whole end of Broodwars hints to a StarCraft2. You know... the whole queen of blades thing or whatever... Still, though, I can't wait for the next one.

To get to the secret level in the Zerg Campaign, you have to beat a certain stage within like 15 min. I forget which stage it is, but there's one stage that they give you a timer to beat the stage in and if you do it within 15 min you go to the secret level. The secret level is played thru protoss and you go around seeing "hybrids" which are protoss and zerg race combined. Its a pretty short mission and you fight a little, but its pretty cool.

You can use the cheat codes to help you out like "power overwhelming" and "show me the money" etc. Thats the only way I could do it hehe. Its pretty hard to beat it in under 15min w/o cheats.

Hmm... well, I know about the cheats. It's pretty cool to overwhelm the protoss with loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of Zerglings.
