Unlock StarCraft II: Secret Level

In "StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty" you can unlock the secret level "Insights". This tells you a lot about the background story of the game. Learn how to easily unlock the mission and uncover secrets that will continue to matter in "Heart of the Swarm".

How to get the Secret Mission "Insights"

While Blizzard usually makes it more complicated to open the secret levels in Diablo, in "StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty" you can do this in a relaxed manner next to your day-to-day business. All you have to do is successfully complete the "Special Message" mission (original title: "Media Blitz") and find the hidden secret documents in the meantime so that "Insights" (original title: "Piercing the Shrouds") appear on your mission card. The activation of the mission does not work if you play "special message" again later via the archive, but only in the regular campaign flow.

Surprising "special message" with Thor's big brother Odin

In the "Special Announcement" mission, you control, among other things, the powerful Odin unit, with which you knock a propaganda system softly before you completely overrun it with your army. Play regularly for the first few minutes. In the stress-free second part, you still have enough time to hunt for the secret documents. Once the surprise attack is over and you have control over your base, send a raiding party - the Odin, for example - to the minerals not far north. Destroy the opposing command center directly on the occasion. Then move your army into the well-hidden passage behind the mineral field.

Brood War memories bring insights

Send your squad over the bridge to the small island in the south-east. Here's a single building that StarCraft veterans know from previous games: a science institute. In the red colors of your opponents, it seems hostile. But your troops do not automatically attack and even if you click on the building, it is only selected as if it were neutral. To destroy it anyway, force the attack on the building. To do this, select your troops, press "A", "T" or the key you set for the attack command, depending on the selected shortcut layout, and then click on the scientific institute.

The secret documents open the Secret Level in StarCraft II

If you have destroyed the building, the mysterious secret documents appear in front of it, which you simply collect with one unit. Now you only have to finish the mission regularly by switching off the three transmission towers. Then you can plunge straight into the secret mission and shed light on it.

While the secret mission in "Wings of Liberty" thrilled countless players, players in "Heart of the Swarm" are left blank. So if you've ended Zerg Queen Kerrigan's campaign and are now desperately looking for an additional level, you'll be disappointed. Apparently it doesn't exist yet.
