Something I forgot to mention: I didn't do Wings of Liberty because workers don't auto-mine in that campaign, making macro basically impossible, and I don't do Heart of the Swarm because there is a mission involving picking up quillgor meat that requires clicking accuracy that isn't possible. If these problems didn't exist, Zerg would be by far the easiest faction to play. Less building problems, no power fields to manage and Kerrigan is OP.

That was the same for SC1, broodwar, and all 3 campaigns for SC2. (missions 3 to 7 for different races for SC1 for example). So... I have a slow reaction time I suppose. I take 10-12 lessons from SC2 teacher and streamer, and he said "ok you doing well you understand build order and units, now repeat everything you do but faster". And I can't. That's it.

What I find most interesting is how much pressure he puts on himself though. No one is going to physically hurt him. A failure along the way won't cost him real money either. He's so strict about the challenge, he even keeps the mission in betweens blindfolded for no reason, like in the other runs units dying in-between mission for cutscenes didn't count either, right? Keeping it together as the entire run is what hurts him more than just (re)playing the missions until he completes it. It's his choice to make though, and good stuff either way.

Honestly, that last bit was super interesting in both the way you presented it, leaving the viewers effectively blind and disoriented as you were, the words flashing up on the screen, your anxiety feeding into your self doubt and panic. It's a great example of how all it takes is one sudden, unexpected twist to flip the switch from "in control" to "out of control". You mentioned feeling mentally wiped out at the time, and I'm sure that you'd probably not suffer any permanent side effects, but you did basically subject yourself to torture.

Something grant didn't mention in this video: He was able to do the rest of the LotV campaign missions individually, but none of them were reliable enough for his sanity. He described them as equally anxious as harbinger of oblivion for 6/8 of the remaining missions. "Unsealing the Past" makes you follow and escort a COMPLETELY SILENT megalith "Purification" has 12 objectives, with no audio cue for when you kill one, and also no cue for which are still alive. "Steps of the Rite" is doable "Rak shir" makes you follow Alarak and malash's fight, which is very quiet unless you're looking exactly at it. The path isn't a straight line, either. "Templar's Charge" wants you to move a platform to get more resources so you can actually make an army. But you need to click on the mineral fields to mine them. "Templar's return" forces you to keep Alarak and vorazun (very squishy heroes) alive, as well as mind control specific mechanical units. (Obviously mouse accuracy isn't great) "The host" is doable but you're intended to grab at least 1 expansion in order to afford a large army. Again, clicking on mineral fields and building a nexus in the correct spot is difficult. "Salvation" requires you memorize the timing and direction of approximately 20 attack waves. Miss one or two and you're screwed

Mortals would go berserk, or fall dead with blood pouring from their eyes or be possesed be demonic entities or commit suicide unable to bear the horror no more. Even the super human space marines were falli g prey to its baleful aura. The Lamenters were more resistant and in desperation threw everything they could imagine: poitblank barrages of cannons, lasers and torpedoes; boarding parties of terminators and battle brothers to find, rig and detonate any reactor or weapon they came across until the abomination fell apart and its aura dissipated. Aboard the flagship of the Lamenters nobody had strength left to celebrate the victory.

Hya, I just started to rewatch some of the old amazing runs and content ( cant get enough of GGG! :D ) , and tumbled upon this gem, the blindfold run. I remembered having been amazed at the planning and the creative beauty of solutions you found for certain problems. ( You never cease to amaze! ) Rewatching now I felt even more heartbroken at the end, allow me to explain: - First off I didn't remember you even proceeded to go blindfold into intermission parts on the the Spear of Adun. While admirable, totally useless, I mean it does not really add to the completion, playing all the missions ingame is hard enough, I would not expect you to memorize ingame menus to find the planet on the starmap, or select the unit variants, or upgrade the Spear of Adun. ( although one might argue picking certain units, and upgrades adds greatly to the strategic feasablity of each map, while I would agree, I would not request it to be done blindfoled since it is a conciencious choice of strategy and it has nothing to do with finding the correct position of choosing them in a graphic menu.) - Second off it truly did baffle me that you attempted to do this run in one go, ( loved the editing in the end to show us, the audience how you must have felt for hours by then, it is indeed very hard, depressing, and unsatisfying. Unfortunately It kept me wondering if you would have managed to do it if segmented it for multiple runs or keeping pauses to remove the blindfold between some missions ( have food breaks etc) Funny how much my soul wants you to succeed. ( also curiousity is at work how you mapped out the rest of the missions) At any rate, hats off yet again amazing run, love to see it end with a success, despite the darkness overwhelming eventually. You are an absolute Hero! and I keep hoping you revisit this challenge... maybe just maybe... with some sanity safety measures included! Cheers!

Hey man, the content's great, but don't do something that is physically painful. I don't know if you do these missions consecutively or not, but take breaks if you need to. If it delays later episodes, so be it. You have to look out for yourself first. And if there is no part two, so be it, we all understand.

Idea for next challenge: play Starcraft 1 and 2 at the same time (if a mission fails in either one, you have to restart both missions).

Sc1 is a jank game in difficulty, some missions have prevalent potentially devastating attack waves and some don't have any attack waves whatsoever and you can often enough just go mass capital ships if you aren't zerg :P and just a click to victory

The only reason i ever beat brutal on starcraft wings of liberty was because of your breathless run. I am immensely impressed with every video you post dude. I dont see you saving your mental health as a failure. We are all extreme impressed you were able to get as far as you did with no vision.

Honestly? I'm counting this one as a win. Doing it all in a single sitting, with no breaks, was never specified in the challenge. So long as you are blindfolded the entire time you are playing, it counts. And i am reasonably confident you had consistent routing for the final missions. That and your still great APM.

Spamming F2 and A Moving everywhere, I watched the replay. By the end of the game I was at the bottom right hand corner of the train map and my ally left saying "WTF???" :D

For one, Blizz was very generous with their unit pathing code in SC2, the exact opposite of SCBW where your units were drunk morons that would happily jump off the map had it been possible. QoL came a long way since 1998.

@@mapron1 For the Shakuras defense mission, just send your Dark Templar to destroy the three keystones. The enemy doesn't have any detectors, so they should have no trouble. For the rest of the mission, get 8-10 probes mining minerals, then build photon cannons. Once you've done that, build more photon cannons, and after that, build more photon cannons. If you cover every bit of open space with cannons, you should be fine.

@@scienceviking4490 Thanks for details, really, but I'm not going to return to SC2 in the near future (I last played more that 2 years ago), so, even I try hard to remember your advice I'd probably forget it. I did watch walk-throughs ofc, when I failed campaign ( - any - and I did that for orig SC1 ofc), did not remember any of "Whoa! I should try THAT instead!" moments. I suppose I can do something wrong but hope not completely miss major choices (like static defense, unit match-ups, etc)

It was just... awesome. I really enjoyed this video, and the last part (black screen) is just, in my opinion, so much powerfull. English is not my native langage so it's really hard to translate what I mean, but that last part, with your doubts and all, really it... resonate with me. So just, thank you for this and I look forward to see your next videos.
