In Utter Darkness – Blaze of Glory and Semi-Glorious
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
In Utter Darkness, we get to see a glimpse of what total anihilation looks like. You’ll have the opportunity to build all of the Protoss units, with a large supply of resources, but you’ll need to defend yourself against over 2,000 zerg attackers. The main achievement In Utter Darkness, just requires you protect the Archive building in the middle of the map for about 20 minutes. Build a good combination of strong units like Colossus, Dark Templars, Twilight Archons, High Templars and Void Rays and you should have no problem.
Semi-Glorious
You can get this achievement while working on Blaze of Glory. You’ll earn it around 1,750 kills on Normal and 2,250 on Hard. I did this one on Hard, before I tried Normal, and it wasn’t too tough.
Blaze of Glory
The way I got this, and it was pretty easy, was by building Dark Templars to clear out the ground attackers, Colossus for support, and a few extra Void Rays to to help in general. Upgrade everything as soon as possible. Start these upgrades asap and keep them queued up as far in advance as you can. Rebuild cannons with the shift key. Lay out cannons everywhere you can, this will slow the approaching zerg, give you time to get your forces in place and help reduce their numbers during battle. See the video above for more details.
You might be able to get Blaze of Glory on Hard mode, but if you did it would be really tough. I tried several times and was wiped out between 2600-2650 everytime. If you do, leave a comment!
