Before you start the mission, you should pick the abilities for Kerrigan. The most important are going to be: kinetic blast, psionic shift, healing an effectiveness. You can now go to Jim's rescue.
There's only one path leading up to Raynor and it is guarded by groups of Terrans. In the first corridor [1], during the fight, you will receive reinforcements. Another ones will arrive in corridors [2] and [3]. After you reach [4], you will have to put Kerrigan into the control point.
You will have to fight several skirmishes here, with the enemies coming out of the side corridors. Unfortunately, temporarily you will lose control over Kerrigan but it is enough to send to fight all of your units and kill out the Terran groups, and the door will be open for you. You can also make use of the abilities of your infectors and take control over the enemy siege tanks and the thor.
As you continue on your path, you will bump into secret files [A] - collecting them will increase Kerrigan's experience level. In the next room [5], you will have the opportunity to mutate virofags, thanks to which you will be able to cut through the enemy defense quite easily.
The infected will also help you in [6] - you will be able to cut through another Dominium blockade easily. In [7] you will have to stop thor from destroying the connector. You only have to order your army to attack, and take care of the machine personally - one psionic shift and a kinetic blast should solve the problem. After you secure the area, you should make your way to the prison level.
There's of course a race with time involved here. You have 5 minutes to set Jim free, but thanks to your quite formidable army and the abilities, you will be able to make it before the explosion. In [8] after you eliminate Dominium forces, you will have to destroy the gate in your way.
On your way, in one of the corridor's branches, there are further files [B]. Then, there is a gate [9] and the last point of defense for Dominium [10] You will receive further reinforcements here, so the battle should be a mere routine. After you secure the last one of the chambers, the mission will conclude.
