You start with Zeratul and six stalkers. Go east. After a while you will face small group of enemies [1]. Destroy the zealots, wait for the barrier to drop and get rid of the remaining enemy units. If you don't want to wait, teleport to the other side.

Teleport through the cliff and destroy the enemy turret [2]. Don't forget about using the void armor to increase the survival chances of your units. However, it isn't mandatory, as the building will fall very quickly if you attack it with all your units.

Behind the next cliff you will face immortal enemy unit [3]. You can kill it with Zeratul's shadow strike or simply throw everything you've got on it. Get rid of other enemy units as well.

Move ahead. After a while you will face the first particle cannon protected by turrets and single enemy units [4]. Use Zeratul's help to first eliminate the turrets, then units, and finally the cannon. You will receive reinforcements for that.

Behind another cliff you will have to fight photon cannons and one hybrid. Focus on the hybrid, leave the turrets for the dessert.

Move forward. You will face three enemy groups with gradually increasing strength [6-8]. Among them you will find zealots, hybrids, turrets and pylons to which the enemy will teleport his reinforcements. The territory is patrolled by detectors and void rays which will attack when you enter into the detector's range with any of your unit. To avoid it, click on Zeratul. With his help you will see the range of the detectors. Try to avoid walking into it when going further. If you succeed, the enemies will ignore you. In addition to that, you should allow your units to regenerate the shields after each battle. If you are be attacked by a void ray, focus all your forces on it. During the battle with other groups, in first order eliminate the most dangerous targets, such as hybrids. Remember about using Zeratul's abilities as well.

A slightly further you will have to face another group of enemies and you will find the second particle cannon [9]. In difference to the previous one and the groups you had to face, the defenses of this one are very weak. After destroying it, let your units rest. You can keep the received high templars or immediately transform them into an archon - it depends on your preferences. Move the army to the place marked by the game [10] after regenerating the shields.

Destroy the enemy units after the cutscene and go through the open passage. You will find other enemy units, including one colossus who you should destroy first. Keep going ahead through the only available path [11] until you reach the third particle cannon [12]. The building is behind the cliff, so teleport to the other side, get rid of the turrets and then of the units. You will receive help of another high templars.

Keep going. You will face enemy fortifications and hybrid, then some pylons. Enemy will use them to gather reinforcements. First eliminate the units, then the buildings. Let your units regenerate shields after each battle and then move ahead. You will finally reach Ma'lash. He will summon a hybrid, luckily just one. Kill it and destroy the void catalyst [13].

You must escape from the temple after the cutscene. You will have a little less than five minutes to do it and your army will be decimated. The path to the exit is simple but full of enemies. You can fight them, but it will cost you precious seconds. It is more practical to avoid battles. Walk ahead until you will be attacked by the enemy. When that happens, order all your units to teleport in the direction where you are escaping. Most of enemies will not be able to attack or catch you, especially since during the escape you will find many cliffs blocking the way. Keep constantly moving and teleport as often as possible. If you do everything right, you are able to reach the exit in two minutes without losing any unit. If the escape is troublesome for you, you can leave one of the stalkers as bait. It will not survive long, but it will be enough to allow other units to escape. Once you reach the exit, the mission will be completed.
