Missions Guide
6. The Dark Templar
This is a rather straightforward mission, where the objective is quite simply to eliminate every last Protoss structure on the map. Your starting position is in the northwest corner on an elevated platform with two ramps leading downward. Expect the enemy to attack you with Zealots, Dragoons, and Reavers by means of these ramps. The brunt of the enemy presence exists on the opposite corner of the map and all along the southern and eastern edge. Take note of Kerrigan's new Psionic Storm ability - this powerful area effect spell devastates all units caught within the field.

Protect your expansion bases with plenty of Spore Colonies. Use the Queen's Parasite against incoming Protoss Shuttles |
You know the drill - start mining and building up your base. The new unit you have access to this time is the Guardian, a remarkably powerful long-range bomber. Guardians are slow and can only attack land targets, but in great numbers, they are unstoppable. You'll have a chance to put them to good use soon enough. Before you can produce Guardians, you must change your Hatchery to a Lair then to a Hive, at which point you can upgrade to a Greater Spire. Then your Mutalisks can morph into Guardians.
As you collect resources, research the appropriate upgrades and use Hydralisks as your primary base defense. Evolve Burrow, then send Zerglings out into the field and dig them in so you'll know when an enemy strike force is en route. Be especially careful of Protoss Reavers. A single Reaver shot can kill several of your Hydralisks, so if you see the slow things slithering your way, send your Guardians and Mutalisks against them to destroy them from the sky before they can come close. Be wary of fast-moving Protoss Shuttles that will drop handfuls of troops into your base every now and then. Construct a Queen's Nest as soon as possible and use your Queen's Parasite ability on the Shuttles so you can take a good look at the enemy base.
