Fenix : I WANT THE TRUTH Artanis : YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH

"I am willing to face the truth, old friend, however difficult it may be" Jim forgave the person that killed you, aldaris and billions of protoss lmao

2:19 I love that little shrug Artanis gives. :D He really doesnt know what to make of it.

I like how Lowko missed the flashing NEW on the Infantry Tab and clicked it away :p Luckily he found it again.

All I can picture is Fenix waking up and saying "Skippy! It's good to see you young executor!"

Fenix/Talandar: Hello there! Artanis: Praetor Fenix!

This mission took me like 5 attempts on brutal. Any ground based composition just gets shredded cause they just throw units at you endlessly. Mass Phoenixes is the only way to go cause unlike multiplayer, they can lift and fire without channelling, so once you reach critical mass, every single enemy unit they send can actually be countered/lifted by the phoenix (but in normal circumstances phoenixes dont have much DPS so you wouldnt think they would work). Also since there actually arent that many buildings you have to destroy aside from a few bunkers and cannons.

Fenix always wonders when he have time: I’m I a dragoon or a zealot? Then he realized that he is a fucking helicopter (I'm not kidding look up his thunderous charge, he can fly)

So they essentially extended the joke with Fenix's name. He 'died' as a Zealot, reborn as a Dragoon, then died again. But was reborn, again, as a purifier Immortal-thing. IIRC, every time he died it was in a 'blaze of glory' too. Edit: Oh right, well he died the first time under a blazing sun, so there we go. Also, he sounds like Alarak.

Oh and a little tip Lowko, make the units that you acquire for the specifik mission. They make missions in such a way that the units that you get for that mission are the best on that mission aswell.......

Fenix my boy! Oh it was so good to see him again. So many memories :`)

When Lowko went to the solar core the first time, I thought "He's big on early economy, so he'll go for chrono surge and orbital assimilator, and then add Solar Lance to use his solarite." At first I was wrong, but lo and behold, he came back and proved me right. :) Good job, Lowko!

The BroodWar background music during conversations caused me goosebumps of nostalgia constantly. Thumbs up for this, Lowko, from a Protoss main :D

Love you Lowko! With mass fenix this mission is very easy... And if you have automated gas, you should build the 4 gasses at the beggining of the game. GG!

This is not a Lowko video. This guy is a replica of a real Lowko.

Is it only me or does the energizer sound cooler than the regular sentry? The same goes for the purifier colossus and wrathwalker they sound so cool.

Lowko pondering the ramifications of personality downloading. Have you forgotten SOMA, Lowko? Have you blocked it from your memories?

I have played these campaigns so many times yet watching @Lowko play them is more fun then playing them myself ever was. Please keep them coming

love when lowko is really into the situations and connecting the story with brood war :D

I loved that you got pushed this video. Great job Lowko!

Download brain and upload it something else ? SOMA is right game where they doing that ! Or Portal with GLADOS :D

5:50 love these small tidbits Lowko, really spice up the lets plays. The worst part about brain / conciousness downloading (or really what it is, copying) is that, it is impossible for it to be the same "you" that wakes up in the new body.. That's one part that futurists dont seem to consider. "They" will never, ever, experience life as an AI inside an immortal robotic shell, even if we achieve that technology tomorrow. So no matter how tempting and cool it may sound, if you were able to "transfer" your conciousness to an immortal machine shell, you really ought to think twice. Because the only thing "you" right here will experience, is death. Because the moment you copy your pattern into another form, even if that form is advanced enough to be sentient and self-aware just as we are, "it" will awaken as its own sense of self, the "you" that are reading this will never experience that awakening, because "you" will cease to exist once the copying is done and your biological brain is destroyed. I suppose it's best thought of as, falling asleep, and never waking up, but its another identity that wakes up and thinks its you, and thinks it continued a single continous existance due to retaining your memories. "It" will tell everyone "it's still me, it worked, i transferred!". But it's not the same identity, it's a copy of a now erased identity. Nobody will know that the previous original is now actually dead, because the new one believes it's the same one. In some ways, some theorists ponder wether loss of conciousness is actually that, the 'death' of the current self, and upon regaining conciousness such as after sleep, it's actually a new rebooted sense of self that merely thinks it's a continuation of the previous one, due to memories. The only way for the "you" reading this to actually get in another body, synthetic or not, would be if conciousness is something immaterial beyond the physical, in that case, perhaps there's a way to transfer the "soul". But if you dont believe that, or dont want to believe in anything beyond the purely materialistic, then i'm afraid there's simply no way you'll ever be able to experience any continous existance after your biological brain is copied. Because you cant actually "transfer" anything, only copy. Even "transfer" of information or quantum states via entanglement, isnt transferring one particle to another location, it's copying the state of one particle onto another particle. There is no "moving transfer from A to B" of information from one physical thing to another in nature, only copying A to B and deleting A.

To clean up any confusion with Purifer Fenix. When Fenix got killed the first time in episode 3, Aldaris got his mind scanned for the revival purifer program before waking him up in the Dragoon and the back ups memory was altered to think he was just send to the purifer research base for other reasons. This got lore fans fairly mad since Aldaris was big on Protoss traditions including dying in glorious combat and so him being involved in a revival of the purifier program seems out of character for him and was only done just so Fenix could be in the game.

Lowko making static defence!? Unbelievable!.......I like it

5:28 is the general premise of the game SOMA

I know how to play protoss... *make* *a* *big* *force* *and* *move* *across* *the* *map*

fun thing is some of the protoss from campaign are the champion personalities in co-op, notably talis from the prologue is the champion adept unlike co-op though 90% of the lotv missions have their waves created from their bases rather than just spawned, this means killing an enemy base results in no more attack waves from there

Good thing that in Co-op you can see actually where the enemy attack wave is on the minimap. In the campaign it really becomes an issue - amon just throws deathballs of units at you and when you attack yourself atm you just loose your base. Pretty silly. Solar lance saved my butt a BUNCH of times coz of that. xD

5:47 It’s called freaky Friday Lowko. 😂

Protip: chrono surge is trash, you used it one time. So is stasis field. As has been said in a wonderful way before, why freeze something that you can flat out kill? (Stasis vs Beam) with orbital assimilation you should cap the gas asap

“What makes you , you ?” Interesting thought experiment

You actually saw the expansion this time. I am so proud of your improvement Lowko lol (in case it wasn't obvious, in your first play through of this mission, you never saw it, even though it was on the minimap, and complained about the lack of an expansion).

love your content and the longer videos

Between Fenix's machine identity crisis, Rohana's nursing of the wounds of the past, and allying with the tyrant Alarak, Legacy of the Void has so many great themes. It pushes a bunch of those good sci-fi buttons and I'm glad it exists... even if the epilogue was disappointing.

5:25 wtf lowko?! I did NOT expect Soma spoilers during SC2 playthrough.

A fun fact lowko might not've picked up on: Ulnar, the homeworld of the xelnaga, is the setting of Zeratuls last prophecy, the vision from the overmind of the protoss's last stand, back in WoL. Strangely, in WoL it's a natural planet rather then the giant space diamond we have discovered today. But Artanis's speech from that mission will get reused soon enough.

It is actually really fascinating to think about the way to clone someone's mind and then awake it in some kind of machine. Pretty much requires that we first get our AI technology to a level where we could actually say that a robot has "feelings". Copying somebody's mind would be the next step.

That was an amazing comeback. Way to adapt.

By the way, I found that if you have energisers, you can use them to build up static defence faster than you normally be able to because their power generation ability allows you to build structures without having to wait for the pylons to finish warping in. I have not seen any KZfaq play through where someone uses them in that way though and I don't understand why.

Originally when I played Legacy of The Void when I unlocked energizers I never switched back to sentries nor back to the later variant of them.

That classic StarCraft music in the background... makes me want to play it a 3rd time in the same span of a month.

Lowko have you ever heard of a horror game called Soma? It essentially is about scanning people's brains and recreating them in robotic bodies. It's really fascinating, and it is very similar to Fenix's situation.

Be sure to keep sentinels in mind. Little bit of an Adun upgrade spoiler, but later on you will get the ability to passively heal mechanical units. That includes Sentinels. Healing, resurrecting templar FTW.

I love the fact that I can watch Lowkos new vids when I come home after a night ought

Lowko, you just talked about how overpowered the shadow cannons were. But when the carriers were beating up your guys you just had the Annilhators walking around underneath without doing anything.

Lowko In further missions, when the eye icon is avialable on Fenix, click multiple times on him so he will tell a lot of stories about his battles

Hey Lowko, when you were talking about the concept of downloading a person's brain and transferring it to another body I thought about a game I played a while ago called SOMA. I don't know if you've heard of it, but it's made by Paradox Interactive, the people who made Amnesia. It's an atmospheric horror game which explores this concept, maybe if you have some free time you could think about playing it, it's only about 8-10 hours long. Thanks again for the videos, they're great!

If you do the Glacius mission before the Korhal one, Fenix will say he doesn't remember Raynor, but he can see why Raynor was his friend.

*If you like anihilators, the 3rd type of immortal is gonna blow ur mind then Lowko*

22:46 I haven't seen the Gateway transformed that fast into Warp Gate like before... :o

the energizer also effect static defense so you can just warp in one and use it as pylon

43:11 just like in that carbot video

On the topic of downloading your body and waking up years later as a cloned version, if you haven't already Lowko, you need to play SOMA. It very expertly touches on that topic. Im not the biggest fan of exploration horror games but SOMA is a breed of its own.

47:08 Not only do they lift automatically, they lift two units at once AND they can attack their own lifted target! Campaign phoenixes are insane.

Ohh yes baby, i was waiting for this!😁

Lowko just referenced the entire premise of the Altered Carbon series

Fenix being deadhnaught boy, the best boy.

There is a TV show called "altered carbon" from Netflix, that works with this ideal, that we can upload our minds and just change the body.

Hey Lowko if you are interested more in the download of memories and sticking them in another body i would suggest you read the Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor. The series is about a person being downloaded and then waking up a thousand years later as an ai.

The xel'naga didnt want to be because a loooong time ago, both zerg and protos rebelled against them and they have been killed.

Sentinels and engizers are super op! the third immortal is insane too. In this mission i crushed one enemy base, of course it was hard on brutal, but you get rid of half of the attack waves.

My finals tomorrow lowko... i guess theres always time for your content

at 34:42 ,damnit Lowko,you chose a terrible spot to use time stop there

"Is there ever going to be a point where we know everything?" Short answer: No. Longer answer: It has been proven that there is more that is true than is provable. Thus anything that is true, but not provable, must be accepted on faith. Does that count as known? Should it?

49:47 offensive GG by Lowko!

When Lowko just described the plot of SOMA

19:48 - 20:05 Good call out, never thought of how flawed this plan was lol

Lowko if you like the mind experiment you may want to check out the game Soma. It dives into the concept in a pretty cool and interesting way.

When u have automated refineries, it's best to just get them asap, so u can make ur gas for the duration of the mission as it doesnt run out

You should play Soma Lowko, its basically Fenix backstory with horror/rpg elements

3:26 Lowko, on the solar core screen, let it sit for a really long time. There's a probe that comes to Karax to get fixed I think 3 times. I'd like to see that in the next video, because off Karax's comments on it if nothing else.

In the solar core cut scene Karax still has his nerve cords! Amon spy.

I find it amusing to watch Fenix dance during conversations

Lowko You should try An Energyzer + Canons + A Battery. The defending is insane.

FYI: There are enemy bases in the top left and bottom right. If you kill them (not easy, but doable on Brutal), not only will the attack waves stop but you also get another expansion!

@LowkoTV, I think you can use Energizers to speed up your turrets too

I'd you love that brain scanning part you need to see the movie chappie.

Dammit lowko! don't you know an episode of one of my favorite shows just came out!? What do I do.... Screw it! I'm multitasking!

Downloading minds is a theme for a series called Black Mirror, you should see it.

SOMA would be the game that matches your thoughts at the start of the video Lowko. Would love to see you play that through =D

now i can finally watch something while contemplating life!

Woooooooooooooooo yeaaaaaahhh. Another lowko vid :D

The first time you completed this mission, you did not build any static defence, and missed the expansion You have come a long way... I'm so proud of you

For those who don't know what the Ihan-rii are: the Ihan-rii is the name the Protoss called the Xell'nagha before they found out what their actual name was. Rohana knows that because she is a Preserver. The Protoss called the Xell'nagha the Ihan-rii since they found out they existed. That was way back when the Protoss lived in tribes and didn't even know how to write. They found out that the Ihan-rii were actually called Xell'nagha about a hundred years before the creation of the Khalla.

In terms of the mind if you were to transplant a copy of your mind into another body and your original were to die or become deceased by whatever means meaning all electrical brain activity stopped and such. Then your conscious goes with it, your mind doesnt just magically transfer over to the copy. Your copy would do things you would do but you yourself won't be making those decisions. It's a very complicated thing to explain...

You should have leave one energizer in mineral line XD it may not be more efficjent but fun for shure

Love ya Lowko

No Lowko its not really Fenix, its a different warrior that just caries Fenix's memories...

Sudden information about his true form might create shock or conflict within digital personality. I think it's quite nicely shown in 4th episode of 2nd season of Westworld.

about that mind download... try watching altered carbon on netflix! same idea, trippy show! :)

Giving Collosi stim is hilariously OP

You can take out the Taldarim base so you won't have to deal 2 attacks from both sides. DT's can blitz base defenses with their ability. then the rest of your army can deal with the rest.

5:20 Ooof, you've got it all wrong. The issue with Fenix is not that he's not his original self. The issue is that he believes he's been turn into a Dragoon, when in fact he is a Purifier... Dragoon or Purifier, he's still a copy after his original body/mind.

If you like the idea of snapshots of people's minds, maybe you should do a playthrough of SOMA? It's a horror game, but super interesting in its themes

About that “download brain data and in 200 years you wake up.” There is a game based around that called Soma. Horror game. You should check it out.

Lowko, Dragoon energiser and also you should watch this Netflix series called altered carbon. It's about downloading and transfering consciousness. You might like it.

I had an existential crisis for a moment there.

30 sentries + 60 phoenixes can dispatch anything on this mission, and that still leaves 50 supply for probes. I guess it should also be doable with energizers, but having a bunch of shield batteries following your army (plus taking care of bunkers and turrets) wherever you go is just too nice. In any case, I think on this mission it's best to skip the Dragoon / Stalker tier altogether: the former are too slow, and the later require some micro to be efficient.

The "download brain/consciousness into another body" is explored in the series Alterate Carbon

Hello lowko love your vids
