Mission 10 - Khashar Approach Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak Guide

Last update: 24 June 2016

Artifacts to obtain:

  • random (search in wrecks [10]-[14]).

Primary objectives:

  • destroy turrets along your path to the massif;
  • seize the massif across any approach;
  • make it over to the west and destroy the AA vehicles;
  • defeat the group of armored units to the West.

In this mission, you have to seize the area in the center of the map -a small rocky massif [5]. The key vehicles in this mission are Artillery Cruisers and Railguns. Do not rely on aircraft too much. There are turrets and AA vehicles all over the place.

Start by gathering some resources and destroy two small groups of armored vehicles coming from the North and the East. The enemy will not harass you with frequent attacks. Which is why you should adopt an offensive tactic.

After you attack, enemy units will launch at you. You can also expect several small groups from the North and the East. - Mission 10 - Khashar Approach - Campaign mode walkthrough - Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak Game Guide
After you attack, enemy units will launch at you. You can also expect several small groups from the North and the East.

Start producing ranged units and start destroying nearby turrets. Start with the Turret Control Tower. After the initial attack, nearby enemy units will launch at you, which is a good moment to fight them back with RGs, where the artillery finishes them off. Head forward, towards the massif. It is best to use the approach in [3] - you do not have to worry too much about the turrets to the West (unless you want to use your planes freely, later into the mission). Larger enemy groups that you have to scan before the attack are in [7], [8], [9].

Hint: Many of the enemy units are either stationary or patrolling. After you destroy them, they do not appear in that location again. The opponent does not have the Carrier in this mission and the units are produced by Production Cruisers. Destroying each one that you run into will slow down their production.

Battlecruisers are good at taking enemy fire on themselves, and units with stronger attack can engage enemy units - Mission 10 - Khashar Approach - Campaign mode walkthrough - Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak Game Guide

Before you climb to the massif, produce 2-3 Battlecruisers [Battlecruiser Fabrication]. These are large, sluggish units armed with powerful short-range turrets. They have the strongest armoring and the most health points of all of the units. They will form the head of the army and they will take the majority of damage onto themselves. This will leave ranged units nearly intact and they will conduct an effective attack.

Hint: Battlecruisers can self-repair, after you upgrade them. Also, they have a special ability that allows them launch long-range homing missiles.

Move West over the massif and reach [5], where there is a group of AA units (Anti-Air Squad). It is here that the main enemy army is located. They are armed with mortar units. Use the ability of your Artillery Cruisers here - EMP, whose function is to immobilize enemy units for several seconds. Then, they become a perfect target for the artillery. Do not focus on your objective - destroying AA units, this is not the end of this mission, yet.

The worst is yet to come, it is better to keep the enemy at a distance and harass them with artillery. - Mission 10 - Khashar Approach - Campaign mode walkthrough - Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak Game Guide
The worst is yet to come, it is better to keep the enemy at a distance and harass them with artillery.

After you destroy AA units, the last attacking wave will approach from the West. You can use bombers against them (if you have not destroyed the turrets to the West, use waypointing (Shift) along the Eastern part of the massif). Alternatively, you can use Cruise Missile and the Carrier, if your units are incapable of defending themselves.
