Press your force up past the plateau so as not to seal off most of your units while only a few can attack. Expect heavy casualties, but if you can successfully bring a large force up onto the plateau, you should eliminate the enemy presence there. Promptly construct an expansion base at this site.

 
Once again, Guardians will prove invaluable
Enemy Overlords will drop strike forces along the north edge of the plateau. Station several Hydralisks there to fend them off before they can deploy their cargo and keep a Queen in the area to stick the enemy Overlords with Parasites. Your next order of business is to strike the plateau north of your new base. There is a small enemy presence there as well as a fresh Vespene Gas geyser that you're going to need. By now, you should have access to Mutalisks and Guardians, so use these in combination to claim the island. Transport Drones and Hydralisks there, then set up still another Hatchery so you can harvest more Vespene Gas. Do not expect Garm Brood to let you hold that island easily; Overlords will airdrop enemies onto your position regularly, and Mutalisks will harass you as well. Set up strategic Spore Colonies and Sunken Colonies to help your defense.

When you run out of resources at your original base, send those Drones to mine at your second location to the west. Reinforce your original position. Make certain you've upgraded melee and ranged weapons are far as possible. Have several fully upgraded Queens supporting your Hydralisks. Build Spore Colonies along the north edge of the base to thwart Mutalisks and Overlords. Now is the time to strike at Garm Brood directly. Produce some Mutalisks and Guardians and still more Hydralisks. Make around a dozen or more Zerglings for good measure. Use a force of Hydralisks, Zerglings, Guardians, and Mutalisks to follow the path east and north to eliminate the enemy presence there. Send a Queen or two along and use Spawn Broodlings against any Ultralisks you may encounter. Advance your force onward around the perimeter of Garm Brood's main presence, destroying all in your path. Remember to keep your Zerglings at the rear until the enemy has engaged your Hydralisks. Let the Hydralisks take the brunt of the damage. Zerglings are easily killed, but deal lots of damage if left unattended. Send reinforcements of Hydralisks and Zerglings if necessary and use your Guardians to help eliminate any stragglers. If you can properly manage these forces at once and use them to defend one another, Garm Brood will fall, and victory will yet again be yours.
