Brutal Difficulty Speed Run - Time done: 3:53 - This is a speed run through this mission on brutal difficulty beating it ASAP (but skipping achievements).

For the regular speed run doing all achievements, go here:

It is still possible to finish the level, even though the blink at, although the blink at 2:13 isn't possible anymore.

Between the 3rd and 4th tendril do as he says at 1:50 (blink, void prism the overseer and kill the spine crawler to not loose much health there). Then walk up the ramp but now head north, past two spine crawlers. Run a bit past the second spine crawler and then blink across. If you get surrounded by zerglings, you've blinked to soon. It's like poker: stay cool, don't blink too much ;-)

It will take some saving and loading and i can only confirm this works for hard difficulty, didn't try brutal. I took my time to recharge shields at the 2:45 position and got 4m41s.

I too tried to blink across the chasm to the third tendril and I'm convinced Blizzard nerfed the blink distance. I found that a semi-suicidal run past the spine crawler above where you blinked from, heading slightly east along the cliff and then blinking past the Baneling charge works wonders. Literally 1 point of HP when I hit the circle, but saved so I don't have to fudge around with it ever again xD

I did this years ago and it worked fine, but tried to re-do it and it seems like they nerfed Zeratul's blink so you can't get to the 3rd tenrdral by blinking across the gap going north-west. After a few attempts I found it possible if I ran the long way: First I found a spot where I could heal to full before running up the ramp, past the spines & spores, use Void Prison on a baneling to reduce dmg, and then a blink right at the end near the tendral spot, so close to dying. had to go the long way around for the last tendral too, and find a space to heal to full

I can not do the blink at 2:12 :( Tried 10 times.

[jakael]

Dude this was super helpful.  I failed on a different version over 10 times.  This one was sweet!

[timwheeler]

I have failed atleast 20 times im tryin to figure out if this still works or not maybe this only works on brutal???

[calphorniacast]

made a bit differently but realy helped

2:12 ITS LIE!!! YOU CANNOT DO THAT JUMP! he jumps only 14cm in length MAX, (measured on monitor) and that distance is NEARLY 20cm LONG. so SORRY that's impossible to do. downvote for cheating and misinfo!
