Missions Guide
Build a fleet of Guardians and a fleet of Mutalisks if you haven't already. Trail a Drone or two behind them. You are now ready to storm the Khaydarin Crystal formation. Press your attack from the top center of the map to the south, being especially careful of High Templar and their Psionic Storms. If your Drone is endangered, remember that you can burrow it underground until the coast is clear. Use a Queen to scout just ahead of your Guardians and Mutalisks and Ensnare or kill any High Templar with Spawn Broodlings. You will eventually reach the Khaydarin Crystal formation. Position a Drone on top of the nearby beacon and pull your flying forces back.
Your task is not yet complete. A ten-minute timer will count down as a Khaydarin Crystal is extracted from the formation. You must hold position for that time. Unfortunately, doing so will be more difficult than it was earlier in the mission because the orange Protoss tribe will now attack you in earnest. It will throw everything including Carriers and Arbiters your way. Use Scourge against this powerful fleet, Mutalisks and Guardians against the Reavers, and Hydralisks and Ultralisks against the ground forces. Double and redouble your base defenses (you'll have enough revenue to do so) and make sure you have plenty of Zerglings burrowed on the field so you know what to expect. You may wish to launch a counterstrike against either the yellow or orange Protoss with Guardians and Mutalisks, but doing so is not necessary.
Once the ten minutes are up, your Drone will emerge from the Protoss beacon with a bite-size Khaydarin Crystal. Your new and final objective is to return that crystal to the beacon at your original base. That Drone will probably be killed, as the orange Protoss tribe will have fortified its defenses. Mount an assault with Guardians and Mutalisks just like before, but watch out for enemy Arbiters that may encase your forces in a Stasis Field. Hold position at the crystal formation, have a Drone pick up the crystal fragment, and escort it safely back to base or fly it back in the relative safety of an Overlord. In spite of overwhelming enemy odds, you have succeeded.
