Mission 12 - Torin Crater Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak Guide

Artifacts to obtain:

• Inviscid Coolant (wreck [2]);
• Random (search the remaining wrecks [5]/[6]/[7]).

Primary objectives:

• defend your positions in the crater;
• reach the rendezvous point;
• find the artifact in the nearby wreck;
• Destroy the enemy carrier.

Do not approach the enemy units too much - do not allow them the advantage of height.

The beginning of the mission is quite unique. You are in a crater, with several RGs, AAVs and LAVs. You have to defend your positions. In order not to sustain too heavy losses, remember to use AAVs' ability - Smoke Screen, against the enemy ranged units, and Rachel's ability - EMP, to disable the enemy temporarily.

Collect the artifact from the nearby wreck - this is an important objective.

Go to the rendezvous point [1] - there is no point in chasing remnants. After a while, Kapisi will arrive here. The first thing that you have to do is obtain the artifact from the wreck to the West [2]. You will then be able to use Kapisi's potential to a greater extent - improved cooling.

Powerful Cruiser squads: Battle and Artillery, aided by Supporters will deal with nearly any opponent, if you play your cards well.

After that, you will receive the last objective: destroy the enemy Carrier [3]. Of course Use all of the

Cruisers that you can afford, especially Artillery and Battlecruisers. The opponent will also attack from the crater, mainly along the central passage [4]). The enemy also has many Cruisers, against which you can send your bombers and RGs. Use planes only when there is fighting on the ground - the chances that they will not be grounded are greater, then.

Hint: The enemy also has Cruise Missiles! They will mainly be launched against Kapisi, which is why you should set the assembly point away from the ship. You can try to escape from the missiles, but this does not always work. The most effective way is to put all of the energy points into Reactive Armor, after you receive a notification of the attack.

Hint 2: A good assault tactic is to form small groups of a Battlecruiser, 2 Artillery Cruisers and around 8 Railguns.
