Compiled 10th Anniversary Achievements Tips / Issues / Bugs

I played 4 times without the abilites listed by Leviathan, but no achievement.
Gave it another try with your SoA abilites and got the achievement…finally!

Thanks for confirming this, but I will have to say this is the most stupidest thing ever, I pretty much have all the achievements but this one, because by the time I get to narud, everything is de storied, so it makes it impossible to do this. The other issue I have is there is barely enough time to find anything to kill if i elft one thing alive.

Yeah, happened to me too…

The good news is that the crystals give vision of the entire map except the two bases in the 11 and 1 o’clock positions. So those are the only areas you have to pay attention to.

I did manage to get Disintegration Doctrine today. It requires you to kill any Ravens on the map. Was able to reload a save just prior to clearing out the 11 and 1 o’clock positions and get the achievement by carefully sweeping the areas for any Ravens. They tend to fly off away from the player’s forces so just be methodical and make sure you got them all before you go kill the final buildings in from of Narud.

Confirm, getting buildings destroyed in the cutscene at the end will fail achievement. Skipping cutscene helps, thanks!

It’s not the Ravens specifically; it’s their Auto Turrets. ATs are classified as structures so if a Raven drops any that the player doesn’t kill, it will fail the achievement.

But the advice to kill all Ravens is still legit. Making sure they are all dead will lower the chances they drop any unnoticed ATs

‘Into the Void’ mission is bugged for me too, there’s more people Into the Void anniversary achievement
why is it not on the list…

It’s the one named Disintegration Doctrine.

Currently, after defeating Narud, in the split second between that and the mission completing, you need to kill one last enemy unit or structure.

I did it by quickly killing three of the rifts in front of Naurd, then killin him, then killing the last rift.

Finally was able to do it, I just killed Narud, then used the Spear of Aduns Solar lance to finish a unit off as the “Victory” sound plays and thats it. got my stone Announcer now.

Nice!

Question: I just finished the Protoss achievements and I’m about to start the NCOs. Looking around here, there is some frustration with Curiosity Killed the Zergling (the second mission). For research’s sake, how did you go about doing it? Certain difficulty? Taking one of Horner’s gases? Positioning? Anything else?

I did it on normal just fine, no need to crank the difficulty, but taking Horner’s Gasses is absolutely essential. Throw down a cc there and put 4 scvs on each gas to make up for the distance. Just massing reapers does the trick, I did it off 3 reactored raxes. Luring a few units out of the bonus objective nydus worms into spider mines with nova helps but isnt neccessary, just spamming mines all over the map works. Best tip is to not clump them, make long strings of mines down the whole path or you’ll be wasting damage. I got the 200 midway through the final attack wave. Don’t bother remining the right path before the brutalisk, use nova spamming snipes leading it backwards while reapers shoot from above to save as many of your mines as you can.

This helped me a lot on Normal as my mines positioning is very bad. Taking even one Horner’s gas allows a significant increase in Reapers numbers and their mines. I once happened to end up with 230+ kills with mines on Normal with only one gas taken, and I’m sure it could be much more with better control and memorising of waves.

On Normal Horner’s SCVs go for minerals if his Refineries are destroyed, but it’s harder to take his gases on Hard and Brutal as Matt rebuilds them ASAP. To take his gases one might need to take out his SCVs and/or outmicro them.

I tried on normal - best 196, but for me it rather seems random how much I can kill.

  • Take Gases - just keep in mind that on higher difficulties the AI will rebuilt a destructed Gas and assign SCV (~3) for repair if they get attacked
  • Mine the high ground preemptively and if you loose vision, restock mines for extra kills
  • the Nydus worms for the research seem to keep spawning worms even if you fail - So I think it is a good idea to fail it and deposit a few mines for roaming mobs.
  • since it is about mine kills - you can sent empty reapers into the zerg base
  • Big solo ultralisk can only be aggroed from the front and tends to minesweep his path
  • on normal you can see enemy routes on the mini map

‘Into the Void’ and ‘The Essence of Eternity’ achievement only did trigger for me after playing them through master archieve, not through normal campaign mode.
Hope that helps anybody

For any1 stuck with a specific achievement 7thAce has a playlist up to protoss done.

Works fine… kill ravens thanks

I’m sure it’s been mentioned before but you should add that One Shot, One Opportunity can be cheesed simply by nuking 50 of your own units.

Also killing your own or ally units won’t work. The last kill has to be an enemy unit.
