Piercing the Shroud (Achievements) | Campaign - Rebellion missions SC II: WoL Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Piercing the Shroud:

Investigate the Dominion Lab, Destroy the Fusion Reactor, Find Protoss Relics, Kill the Brutalisk, Escape From The Facility, Raynor Must Survive.

Not So Brutalisk:

You can achieve this in at least two ways. Clear the room of guards, place the Marines and Medics behind Raynor and let out the beast. Preferably use the plasma gun. The Zerg will surely damage Jim several times, but he'll eventually fall down.

You can also use the prototype A.R.E.S machine in this fight. For details, head to the Monster Mash! achievement description.

Lock and Load:

As you have probably noticed, Piercing the Shroud is divided into two parts. There are six additional weapons pieces in the first one and seven in the second one. There are grenades, Plasma Gun and Chrono Rift ammo. They're all marked on the map (orange circles).

As you're running from the Hybrid through the lab, don't waste time on picking up the items. Get to the eggs region for the creature to disappear and then return to the corridor and clear it of any weapons.

The Hybrid is very quick on Hard and there are additional Dominion units in the building (a Thor, amongst others). I'd suggest saving the grenades for the second part of the scenario, as while you're running away from the Hybrid, the road will be blocked with debris in three spots.

Monster Mash!

One more prestigious achievement. Despite of its connection with the mission, you can't learn of it from the summary. The challenge here is to defeat the Brutalisk with the A.R.E.S. robot, which you've been using to clear the corridor of enemies. As the prototype machine tends to self-destruct after a certain time, you'll have to deal without it in that area (use the Plasma Gun on the vehicles).

After you take over the Brutalisk room, send the Medics and Marines back to the robot activation panel. Set free the Zerg monster with Raynor and start running away deeper into the corridor. Around the middle of the road, activate A.R.E.S. with anti-armour missiles and you'll witness a clash of titans, which will end with your win. Raynor will probably need some medical care.
