You start with a small base and few units. Your objective is to activate all power cells [P1-P5] scattered through the map. You will be able to do it with the help of Spear of Adun's abilities. Use the deploy pylon in the eastern part of the base just after the mission starts. This will power up the buildings that can be found there. Now start building few zealots. Send the increased army to two closest power cells [P1][P2]. In the [P1] point you will face a weak zerg resistance.

Return to the base. Once activated power cells cannot be turned off, so don't move your defenses outside the starting point. Produce more workers. However, don't build new warp gates since you will receive them for free very soon. Once you increase the size of your army to around 15 units, go left. In the [W1-W3] points you will find three inactive warp gates which require you to only build a pylon. Build it by using a worker or the deploy pylon ability. You can place two photon cannons nearby for safety, but the buildings are positioned aside, in a place that isn't frequently visited by the enemy. Chances that it will be attacked are very small. You will find some additional resources here. There aren't many of them on the map, but there is enough to make your task easier.

Small groups of enemies can be found on the map - both protoss and zerg. You will face units and fortifications, in most cases they will be weak. Their main bases [BP][BZ] are positioned in remote locations. Attacking them isn't required for completing the mission. However, be ready for enemy attacks occurring from time to time. Keep improving your military by investing both in zealots and stalkers. Use warp gates to recruit them as close to the main forces as possible.

Four nydus worms will appear near [P1] and [P2] after activating the third power cell. These enemies are creating zerg units. However, there won't be many of these units, so even a weak defense should take care of them. Eliminate the sources of the enemies before you continue the main objective.

Another group of nydus worms, this time six of them, will appear when you activate the fourth power cell. In order to avoid fighting them, create a strong army consisting of more than 50 units and then send it to the power cell. Select [P3] or [P4], leaving the [P5] as the last one. Clean the area, activate the power cell and go immediately towards the [P5]. The place is strongly protected, you will find a hybrid among the enemies, but with large enough army you should manage to win. Of course, you must also have a strongly protected base that will be able to survive the attack of nydus worms. Add few photon cannons and keep few units nearby just in case.

The mission will be considered as completed immediately after you activate the fifth power cell, even if not all nydus worms were killed.
