Among the Ruins StarCraft 1: Zerg Mission 1

Among the Ruins StarCraft 1

Among the Ruins is the first mission of the Zerg Campaign in Blizzard's RTS of 1998, StarCraft 1. Staged on Tarsonis, Among the Ruins sets the Zerg Swarm against the Remnants of the Confederacy. In addition, Among the Ruins introduces the Young Chrysalis and the Larva, Drone, Overlord, Zergling and Hydralisk Zerg units.

Among the Ruins Mission Objectives

• Create a Spawning Pool.
• Create a Hydralisk Den.
• Protect the Chrysalis.
• Destroy the Terran encampment.

You can go with Zerglings, Hydralisk or a combo of Zerglings and Hydralisks.

I would get at least a dozen Hydralisks going. Make sure you focus on the Goliaths with your Hydralisks.

At the Zerg Spawning Pool, Evolve Metabolic Boost to increase Zergling movement rate.

At the Zerg Evolution Chamber:

• Upgrade Melee Attacks to increase Zergling Claw Damage
• Evolve Carapace to increase armor for Drones, Zerglings and Hydralisks (Level 1).

At the Zerg Hydralisk Den:

• Evolve Grooved Spines to increase Hyralisk attack range
• Evolve Muscular Augments to increase Hydralisk movement rate
