- No matter how many times I play this mission, it still chills me. This time, I decided to record the Mass Recall version so we can enjoy these awesome scenes
StarCraft 1 Brood War Zerg Bonus Mission : Dark Origin
Playlist : • Starcraft Mass Recall Mod
Campaign Link : www.sc2mapster...
SC1: The mysterious, but otherwise plain Duran reveals himself to be an even bigger threat than the Zerg, if you managed to find this secret mission.
SC2: The totally-not-evil doctor is named N A R U D

Considering that Duran/Narud had gone by many names throughout the millennia since the downfall of the Xel’naga, it makes me wonder what other names he went by and if they used the same letters jumbled around as well. Arnud? Nurad? Darude Sandstorm?
@@ShawndaPrawn Just sounds so dumb, since Duran is supposed to be an ancient alien that shapeshifts. The character is as intelligent as the one who writes them.
Also, Xel'naga were more interesting in SC1, and they weren't even introduced fully. And in SC2, they made them into lamer versions of Cthulhu
@@ShawndaPrawn Doran perhaps.
Hmmm, The Graphics look better than I remember.
I know these are better than the original remastered
its like a re-remaster
I was thinking the same thing. Diablo 2 also looks a bit different nowadays. I wonder what's up with that.
*worse
This is Mass Recall basicly all of SC 1 in SC2. Including the two cut out Iron Fist missions and a Stukov mission where we see his corpse being found.
They implied Duran was XelNaga here or at least a XelNaga creation. It was interesting he seemingly had the same end goal as the Overmind of creating the ultimate life form but using Terran technology instead of Zerg strain sequencing…
And then the XelNaga were dead space manatees.
It's what the red pandas had tried to fight all along.
It was so much more interesting when it seemed like they were a race of possibly nomadic space super scientists striving to create perfection in life(which they didn't know how to accomplish or understand themselves, presumably--very different from the Xel'Naga we got in the end). Apparently they were even considered and/or planned to be added as a new race, but instead they just said fuck it and made them personality-less quasi-physical deus ex machina archetypes.
From when I was a child reading the SC1 instruction manual I had pictured them as a race with actual character and culture that we'd eventually learn about, perhaps even more science/knowledge-based and mature than the Protoss(who are pretty religious and warrior-based despite their advanced tech), but it was not to be.
@@nopeno9130 tbf there was definitely a Xel'naga culture, centered around the great cycle. They were just all dead so we never got to see any of it. But they definitely had their own society and mini-civilization
I don't know who copied who: Bioware having villains created by an ancient species rebelling against their creators (that computer consuming the Leviathans in order to create Harbinger is similar to both Protoss and Zerg attacking the Xel'Naga in the original lore), or Blizzard transforming their godlike species into big space aquatic animals...
@@MrlspPrt This! Similarities in xel'naga cycle and reaper cycle are almost too similar.
5:44 What my goldfish sees when it's feeding time
This should be at the top of the comments 😂👌🏻

Get lost " BOT"
You're a Protoss-Zerg Hybrid?!
The entire Starcraft campaign told a very cool story, with its own twists, cool charismatic characters. Everything was very harmonious and consistent. And we are all experiencing this very interesting storyline again thanks to Executor Nral.
But in this mission, everything changed. A complete atmosphere of mystery, darkness, and hopelessness. Everything that came before has become so unimportant and simple. Zeratul being a Protoss hero who did not flinch before the Overmind and the Zerg, who saw the fall of Aiur, who came face to face with the Queen of Blades, "could only sit and fear for the future of the universe." These lines are terrifying. Every time, in the Omega mission, I could only think "how dare you kill each other now? Somewhere on hundreds of moons, an unknown creature Duran completes some kind of cycle and this definitely does not bode well for us" and "Zeratul, friend, Please find Artanis and deal with Duran. He's here on Char, and you both really need each other right now."
...
Magnificent, isn't it?
And then we won in LotV. So much for Duran's cycle.
MAGNIFICENT
O F C O U R S E I D O
Amon and Duran proved to be a lot of bark but not much bite. It was against all the factions which were already softened up with previous conflicts. UED on Earth would absolutely destroy them.
Too bad, Amon, the great evil behind everything was a one dimensional forgettable character. Sadly the writing in Starcraft went downhill after the peak it reached at BW.
Duran was right at least about the universe being changed forever by the rise of the hybrids but not in the way he wanted of course.....
Brought the Terrans, Zerg, and Protoss even closer together.
Or the way we wanted either.....
Haha, love the addition of metroid music
Like,c'mon,this was so exciting back then. The great threat got a name and everything got ruined? I still support that Amon wasn't the problem in the writing.
Amon can be written better
@@lukelim5094 yes. He had potential. It is the rest of the bullsh*t in the story that sent everything, including Amon,in a less grimdark route that isn't really pleasant for most.
I think the problem was turning Starcraft from something dark and mysterious, into the Avengers, both in terms of tone and story.
@@bunkersketches1238 it went from grimdark and character driven to "space opera" as people call it, and less character driven. It was not a good choice.
@@fotismanolopoulos1098 Starcraft 1 wasn't grim dark to absurd degrees.
It had a good sense of humor, and a unique feeling influenced by it's time.
We can't really forget the influences that played a large role into shaping it.
Rock and roll, the Alien movies, Apocalypse now, Warhammer 40k, etc.
It was a great blend of edginess and fun.
It's current influences are better fit for mass-appeal, which is probs why new Terran tech looks so clean and mecha inspired, since they planned to make SC2 an E Sport immediately and they really wanted to rake in that Korean market.
Zeratul: Enters the base
Narud (Duran): *Allow me to make you a basic excursion around your fate in the next 8 years!*
I love how zeratul knew how powerful and dangerous the hybrid was even tho it was in stasis. The energy the hybrid gave off must have been extremely potent for zeratul to judge it so specifically.
Executor requesting you post all future bw content thru the mass recall mod to show the glory of the creators work
I will make a poll for this
Can we have both? While Mass Recall is an amazing work, Brood War is... Brood War. There's a certain appeal in dying people blowing up.
@@ExecutorNral yes pls
Given how Duran speaks of the "cycle" has something that should happen, I wonder if later in writing, the writers decided to switch from "Amon wanted to complete the Xel'Naga cycle, like the Overmind in SC1" to "He wanted to destroy it by eradicating the Xel'Naga's creation".
But the Overmind also wanted to consume the Protoss into the swarm to create the "ethernal swarm". There's many things the SC2 writting ruined for us.
The hybrids would have been required either way, since nothing else had sufficient power to serve as his host body.
@@chokolisto That was just a ruse played by the overmind to make it look like it's still on their side but secretly against them and found the way out through Kerrigan. Explain in WoL of Overmind's true attention thanks to Tassadar aka Ouros.
th-cam.com/video/Tpg4F-VKilQ/w-d-xo.html
@@PrussianZwei But that's what i'm saying, we don't exactly now if that was the real plan for the story on the SC1 universe, that was told on WoL.
@@chokolisto I think it was the plan at the time during SC1 that the Zerg wanted to wipe out Protoss and Terran but SC2 expanded up on why Overmind created Kerrigan. During SC1 we didn't know what Kerrigan's purpose was. At least that is what I think
All i behold is an abomination.
zeratul:Do you have slightest idea what theese things capapble of
duran:Yes
To think we had to wait 12 years to actually find out what the hell this mission was all about...
man oh man this is good. i especially like the close up on the hybrid, so foreboding. also, where is Duran's model from?
From sc2
It's a modfied Colonel Orlan Portrait. Comparing the two it's just texture reskinned.
Compare the tone, the atmosphere, and the writing of this scene with the enemies we got in StarCraft 2, which spend a lot of their screen time just yelling "DIE!" at you.
Aside from gameplay mechanics, it's actually astounding how much better the original game was in pretty much every capacity.
Not pathfinding. I personally enjoy Starcraft II's gameplay better, but I still enjoy SCI.
Cosmic Horror, something we can only Dream of in Blizzard games nowadays.
This shit is good.
Damn, Mass Recall version is amazing, not only the SC II graphics but also things like close ups on terminals and hybrid, resembles well done movie scenes.
Those "8bit computer beeps" during the video ... I freakin' love them!
i believe those are actually super metroid sounds
they are
Item/Elevator music from Super Metroid.
It's 16 bit. It's from super metroid.
Now, if I want to see cosmic horror from Blizzard, I just have to read their future plans for their games.
Wow this is an amazing remake of the secret mission
6:04 *O F C O U R S E I D O*
Seeing SC2 zeratul portrait with Jack Ritschel's voice makes me sad :(
He will always be remembered
New Zeratul voice was ok, but his lines not so much. They turned him into Warcraft 3 Medivh in space who brings tidings of DOOOOOM.
Raszagal (Easy)
...
eheh...
heheehhe...
hihihihihihih...
ahhhaahhhaahhhahahaha
(get it? :S)
The Hybrid. It's purity of form is matched only by it's purity of essence. The perfect organism. Free of conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.
Zeratul, I can't lie to you about your chances. But... you have my sympathies. :)
I see what you did there ! 😁
It's pretty obvious that the original plan for SC2 was to make a fourth hybrid faction. Would have been cooler than one campaign with two reskins, I think.
Before SC2 came out, I was wondering if there will be a fourth playable race. This mission really made me imagine things as a kid. :)
Just like Warcraft 3 was originally going to have Burning Legion as a playable faction. Same with Frozen Throne and the Naga.
I don't think so, looking at both stories they both add up it is possible that the hybrids could have been a fourth faction ,but the hybrids are an artifical means to completing the cycle, It was supppose to happen naturally not artifically SC2 was the predesessor, with some small changes and somehow a loss of creative story writing. Wings of Liberty was great but as the sc2 story went on it seemed less good, then again typically nothing beats the original.
The best lines from Zeratul were in this level. God Bless Jack Ritschel. Too bad he wasn't around to voice the guy in SC2.
Fred Tatasciore would've been the perfect replacement had they done the voiceover effects more similar to SCI Zeratul.
@@stormpants1638 Yep. They should have directed him to be more like Jack Ritschel.
Oooohh I loved this mission so much as a kid. You're going good work and bringing back great memories, keep it up with the videos!
It's the final metroid , it's going ultra speed.
A secret mission from SC 1
I've always liked how Zeratul refers to Duran as Kerrigan's consort. Look up the definition of consort for a laugh.
"Heheh, They were shacked up?" - Tychus Findlay
This scene had so many follow-up potentials, man. I believe the hybrids were supposed to be way more powerful and sinister in Blizzard's original concepts, the Golden Armada we had was ultimately unsatisfactory. While the original SC2 concept was still decent, the execution was rotten space-drama.
On a more personal note, I would like it more if Xel'naga survivors weren't killed or imprisoned by Amon, but had rather went in hiding with a different vengeance on all living things. It'd be a thrilling three (or even more) side war between Amon's hybrid, Koprulu Sector's inhabitants and the psionic powers of the Xel'naga (maybe even Kerrigan's Zerg at some point).
Your idea sounds quite interesting, but if some Xel'Naga survived, Blizzard couldn't use their cliché of "here, this is your single supermegagigaevil point which you need to eradice and all will be sunshine and rainbows" which they have used in every single expansion for WoW.
@@becausebuzzbomb6133 Unfortunately, you're on point. Corporates (and people of the age) seem more interested in one single totally-and-illogically-evil being they can fight against than multi-pronged wars that are far more interesting and actually resemble the real life conflicts.
What's that green archon? A twilight one?
Its just a custom model for archon
4:43 Is that Half Life 2 soundtrack I hear? Glad to see it being put to a good use!
Yeah it is, Infraradiant from Episode One, amazing song
Masss recall one love:)
2:14 nice metroid sfx
2:22 super metroid item room
Adjutant with Durans voice made me laugh a bit, lol.
Duran used to be so much more eloquent before he took to being Narud.
so much build up
and then it turns out that one of this hybrids is worth 10 marines at most...
2:18 Reaaaally now? Lovely reference.
Well if the SC series to be greater, they can introduce the idea of Amon like Chaos Gods in 40k. A shame that they didn't go that greater path that can lead to create a greater SC game for all
I don't know how that would help, the Chaos Gods are just bad characters
@@nobleman9393 It create a threat that you can't fully understand and defeated, and now in Sc2 Amon is like a push over ment to be defeated
@@nobleman9393 the series of Warhammer 40K has a tone of eternal darkness because of them, Amon is possible to be that eternal enemy for our heros which can lead to more scheme about him trying to take over the world. Also since he can influence every race in the story it is possible to make more greater enemy characters for player to attach on.
I don't agree 100%, but it's a better idea than boring space tentacle blobs that Xel'Naga were in SC2
This story could be that from the very beginning our gods were not so good guys. That they have Duran, who makes insidious plans for their return, and perhaps the Overmind did the right thing to destroy them. What if we were blinded just like Aldaris was to the Conclave? But we got what we got.
Anyone in general likes the motivation "kill everyone so they don't get hurt", the "zerg and protoss were made by a bad guy", etc?
I was VERY CONFUSED until i realized it was mass recall
Are the campaigns in sc2???
Yes its a mod. Link is in the description
How to set up for cosmic horror which the sequel squandered.
Lol, the music is from Half Life Episode II
Please do more of these, they are awesome.
Until Starcraft 2 came out, I thought that hybrids would be Xel Naga or something very related to them
IS THIS SUPER METROID SOUNDS?!?!?!?
The atmosphere at the end is chilling, especially the music. I have already revisited this moment a lot over the years, both in Russian and in English, but this horror mixed with nostalgia has not gone anywhere and I think it will never go anywhere.
Metroid music fits this scenario very well.
Dugalle > Kerrigan > Raynor > The Taldarins
isn't this starcraft 1? why is it starcraft 2?
Атмосфера в конце пробирает до костей, особенно музыка. Я уже много пересматривал этот момент в течение многих лет и на русском и на английском, но это жуть в перемешку с ностальгией никуда не делась и я думаю никуда не денется никогда.
Why do I hear Metroid sounds?
All I behold is abomination.
is the music at 3:46 from metroid?
The guy who did Zeratul's voice also did DuGalle and Duke. Fucking amazing actor.
Damn, dude died twice
@@meowistforlife thrice; plus real life
@@eyeballpapercut4400, four times, then.
@@Tim_Sviridov I failed math somehow
En tarro de atún!!!!!!!!
Dat Metroid moment doe . . . gave me a tear.
Holy cow, this is incredible! Amazing MOD.
Is this a mod of sc2?
Beep boop beep beep
Do you think it is possible that before it was retcon, Blizzard had tought on a villian that was not Xel'Naga in origin but then it was discarded because it easier to explain the whole "Evil Xel'naga" Thing?
I would also like to point out that I was one of those who grow up with SC2 because SC1 and SC1 Brood War was literally launch a year after I was born, so I admit that some of my experiences playing this old game were tainted by SC2 WoL expectations, but I did have a good time.
When I read a PDF of the originall SC1 and Brood War manuals I realized that they change many things in concept over the years, I like some of the chnages, I had grown up with others and
... I admit some changes were either wierd or dumb
But I do remember that in the manuals it was kinda hinted that the Xel'naga were either dead/extinc, hiding themselves or really far away.
So when I tought about this mission ... I tought "This couldn't be the Xel'naga ... The manual said they died"
I think the original plans were to make the Xel'Naga cycle the actual threat to oppose. From what we glimpsed of Starcraft I's campaign, the Overmind refered to its invasion of Aiur as the completion of a cycle, and Zeratul hinted that it was doing so because of the Xel'Naga's imperative.
Then, Duran arrives and shows that not only were the Hybrids done before the Overmind invaded Aiur, but they are also the completion of this "cycle".
I do not know why, but they decided to scrap that in favour of Amon ruining said cycle.
@@farseeraradrel4808 F for the ending we never got
The manuals are not canon.
This mod is so good
for Fanmade not by Blizzard themself they do Amazing Job to Remastered StarCraft: Brood War by use Starcraft 2 Mod Map
Are those custom made missions ? 🧐🤔
Cuz i do not have any memory of this kind of mission .... 🧐🤔
The VA for Samir Duran was so much better than Narud, the way he talks in the secret mission is just *chefs kiss*
I still think that THIS campaign should have been the remastered version of Stracraft.
I feel like the voices were a lot better in SC1, but the excessive "bleep bloops" of the computers here is not helping...
nice
so dude the name of the mod?
Mass Recall
@@lance4906 thx dude
honestly surprised that the music playing between zeratul and samir duran is the one from half life 2 episode 1 when trying to stabilize the citadel core before abandoning the tower
I loved getting my intro to StarCraft lore from SC2 and then coming to watch this series. Watching how everything plays out, watching all the references, so satisfying.
Sad to be a terran and not to be considerate for tortures and magnificent experiments...
I love the remake, but for this particular mission, the beeping in the cutscenes really ruin my perception
Why would you build a cell outside in the open snow exposed to the elements when you can keep them actually inside a facility?
Duran is the only one that got a swear word out of Zeratul back in the day, iirc
If you consider "damn" a swear word too, Kerrigan got it out of him too when she forced him to kill Raszagal. "Damn you, Kerrigan, for what I must do."
@@becausebuzzbomb6133 True, but since Duran was there too I'll say the comment still stands xD
i'm nervous just watching the intro
4:30 is that a half life song im hearing??????
Super Metroid music detected
This is the best TH-cam channel for Starcraft content. Well done! Subscribed!
For Aiur! En taro Nral!
well adapted to SCII !!!
I’m getting deja vu from the beginning is this a remake or something lol i never played the sc1 campaign
Yes its a remake
Executor you never fail me and i love to see bw clips but this is beyond great
Who did this ? I would like to contact him if possible. Amazing job, great details too.
This is the Mass Recall mod for SC2. Link is in the description
I don't remember, how are identified the red terran forces in the original mission? as random mercenaries?
They're called Clandestine Mercenaries. Nothing is really known about them.
this is fine
Love the creepy Metroid music
I THOUGHT that sounded familiar. Super Metroid specifically, if my ears hear correctly?
@@WarmasterJoshmaul Yep, that's the one!
@@WarmasterJoshmaul Yep, that's the one!
@@WarmasterJoshmaul Yep, that's the one!
And that was the thing that left me in fear and anticipation.
Then Star Craft 2 happened... 😞
I hate that sc2 brutally murdered the great lore of thhe first game...
I like how they handled this map in Mass Recall but like, this mission was sort of the death nail for the plot of sc2. It 100% set up the Hybrid and Amon, a shapeshifting servent of an ageless power reflected by the hybrid. Any possibility of a plot based entirely around interesting faction dynamics had to die early because this was set up from the very beginning and in result it played out as it did.
It set up the hybrid. The ageless power reflected by the hybrid does heavily hint at Xel'Naga since they created the Protoss and the Zerg. Even so, having Amon want to destroy all life is one of the least creative ways they could have interpreted this mission.
Is this from Mass Recall or Remastered? (Haven’t played either of those)
Mass Recall
Took me a second to recognize the metroid music. First recognized it as screw attack intro lol
the dude on the right sounds like a Naga Myrmidon
5:44 When the class sees you have something edible to share
