Fan-made achievements to try

Seeing a topic on how the new achievements were too easy, and having replayed the campaigns many times, I thought I’d offer my own stab at creating some achievements that some may find more challenging.

I’ve not done ALL of them myself, but done many of them, and the ones I haven’t I am confident they are doable. All of these are to be done on Hard.

WHAT. How…? How does this work?

Great list, man. Good job!

Don’t have a cow, man, just moove out and unleash udder chaos.

… No but really, tho

Really what? Destroy the three Power Cores with the Tauren Marine. They all have ground routes to them, so it’s plausible, just have to clear the path.

Oh, come on, don’t be coy; you surely know why I’m confused.

Where is the Tauren Marine in that mission, and how do you get it to destroy the power cores? I’ve never found or been aware of that Easter Egg. I know the Tauren marine is in Wings of Liberty but I had no idea it can even make an appearance in “Templar’s Charge” in Legacy of the Void.

Spill your secrets! Let’s have it! How do you get the Tauren marine in that mission?

No, I didn’t know why you’re confused, that easter egg was infamous I thought and it’s been five years.

Thanks! Just as you posted that video, I had actually googled it myself. That’s so hilarious!

No, I’m super out of the loop. I had no idea the Tauren marine was in there. That’s crazy and amusing. Thanks for showing me.

I got one for HOTS:
For the whole campaign, use only the units that are used in multiplayer or SC1 brood war. For some evolution missions such as the roach/baneling missions, if you do them, you won’t be able to use any of its strains. You might have to do this just so you can get some of the other strains which are used in multiplayer or SC1 brood war. For mutations, you can only use the ones which are similar to the multiplayer upgrades, e.g., metabolic boost for extra ling speed which is similar to the extra ling speed upgrade from multiplayer.
