This time around, you are in control of the new, better Kerrigan. In [1], you will be able to make use of the first one of the -newly acquired abilities: dash. The ability is for both dealing damage to single targets and to moving quickly around the battlefield. You will learn how to use it right in the next location, you will learn the psionic shift - an attack that at the same time moves your character into another location. It's perfect for the elimination of larger group of enemies. After you jump over to the next isle, you will encounter the xel'naga relic [A] - acquiring it will increase Kerrigan's level by one.

After you make it to point [3], you will have to eliminate a group of hydralisk - it is sufficient to use the psionic shift several times. As a reward, you will receive another ability: healing. Thanks to the low cost of its using, you can regularly use it to heal your troops. You will also be joined by additional roaches; they will come in handy during the next boss battles. As you proceed to the north, you will reach an islet with another xel'naga relic on it [B]. It is sufficient to jump over to it with lightning strike and kill all the zergs with the psionic shift.

I recommend that before you enter [4], you save your game. This is where you will encounter the first boss Yagdra. It is a worm that moves underground and appears on the battlefield to spit acid projectiles your way. They are relatively easy to avoid - it is sufficient to move away from the "crosshair" and you will take no damage. Yagdra can also belch out acid - you avoid this attack by moving towards the side of the worm. Apart from that, each time the worm disappears underground, it leaves one big, or a cluster of small eggs. You need to keep destroying them regularly or otherwise additional enemies will hatch. Yagdra itself should be attacked with roaches, lightning strike and Kerrigan's regular attacks. After several rounds the monster should fall dead.

You should go now to the south. In [5] you will find a large cluster of zerg eggs. You should destroy them as quickly as you can because soon new enemies will hatch out. The small eggs can be smashed with psionic shift , whereas the large ones with the attacks of your swarm. As you proceed to the east, you will reach [C], where there is another xel'naga relic, protected by three zerg eggs. That's a simple thing - you simply smash the eggs and pick up the item. In [6] you will be attacked by several waves of zergs - thanks to Kerrigan's healing ability, there should be no problems dealing with them.

After you reach [7], another boss battle will begin. This time around it's Kraith - a monster capable of shooting hundreds of spikes your way and charging at you to squeeze you. The latter also summons zerglings - you can eliminate them either with psionic shift , or with your charges. Kraith itself is not too tough and cannot withstand attacks. After several repetitions of attack-evasion tactics the creature should die.

In [8] there is a bridge. After you walk over it, you will enter the Sylvan territory. Here you will be endlessly nagged at by banelings. You can keep running over them, and thus making them explode, or keep destroying them with psionic shift. After you walk over the bridge, you should take the path to the right, to the east. There are several platforms with the enemy on them, and the last one of the xel'naga relics. Now you can go to [9] and cut your way through to reach [10].

In [10] there is a third boss waiting - Sylvan. Your enemy will be constantly sending hordes of banelings against you - it is a perfect location to gain your Endangered Species achievement. The task you are facing is exceptionally easy to perform. You detonate, or kill the banelings (it is a good idea to use psionic shift here) here) and wound the boss. From time to time you will also have to avoid a puddle of acid and heal your units. Still, the battle itself is a child's play and should end within a minute.

After you win, you will be automatically transferred to a different arena - this time around you will match up against the Ancient one, i.e. Zurvan. The battle may bear resemblance to a battle with one of the bosses in Diablo 3 for some players. You move sideways to avoid talon attacks (all blows are perfectly marked so they can be easily avoided) and wound the enemy in between the attacks. Zurvan's strongest attack, lightning belching, needs to be avoided by retreating out of its area of effectiveness, as it deals a lot of damage. Once Zurvan starts abusing this attack, you can incessantly attack him with lightning strike to decrease the amount of his health points as quickly as possible. As soon as the Ancient falls to the ground, the mission will complete.
