This mission is divided into three parts. First you will be controlling three stalker units. Move in the direction pointed by the game. You will have few skirmishes with zerglings and mutalisks, but you shouldn't have bigger trouble with defeating them. Complete orders received from the game until you reach an abandoned base [1].

After the cutscene and changing the map, you will gain control of the base [1]. It is small, but it should be enough for starters. Build additional pylon to restore the power in the inactive buildings. Quickly start gathering gas and don't forget about constructing additional pylons - you have very small number of command points.

Improve your forces. In addition to additional probes, train few zealots. Gather your army and go through the only available path. A void pylon can be found in the [V1] point. Once you walk to it, you will receive reinforcements.

Additional resources can be found nearby. You will find plenty of them on the whole map, so keep attention to your surroundings. Next ones can be found for example by walking through the path north from [X]. During the journey for the resources you should receive information about a zerg attack. Return to the base and repel the attack. Keep creating new zealots and stalkers all that time. Once you have about 18 units, go west. You will find other resources [2] with few buried zerg guarding it. A while further [3] you will find a small and weakly guarded enemy construction. Destroy it.

Slightly north [V2] you will find resources and another void pylon. Keep creating new units during the battle. Once the area is clear, bring the reinforcements and walk ahead.

A second, much bigger enemy base can be found north [4]. If you have collected units from both void pylons and you were constantly producing new zealots and stalkers, you should be able to storm the base. However, if you need additional resources and soldiers, on the right [V3], behind the cliff, you will find the third void pylon.

Go to the place marked by the game [5]. The base will be empty except for few enemy zealots. Kill them. Now you will watch a short scene.

Once the cutscene is over and the map will change again, you will control Zeratul and four stalkers. Keep waking ahead, teleporting through obstacles and defeating small enemy groups on your way. The path is straight, so you will definitely not get lost. Few times you will see battles between protoss. After a moment the battle will be stopped and the enemies will attack you instead. Each time you should wait for the enemies to bleed out and attack them only once they turn against you. This will make each battle easier. Don't forget about using Zeratul's skills as well. Most of the battles will be easy, you will face a larger group only once you get near Artanis [6]. Despite that, the group shouldn't be a big threat to you. Once you reach Artanis, the mission will end successfully.
