Primary objectives:

  • Locate and destroy the enemy

Secondary objectives:

  • Destroy 20 Dweller units.

With the right approach, it is a very simple mission. At first, you have a base and lots of turrets, as well as the Hand of Ruk [red 1]. You can use the Hand as a factory, so do that immediately and start producing units. Focus on Guardians and Predators to man the turrets with. Also, remember to man the Hand of Ruk. One of the units is severely damaged, but it can still fight. Deploy it next to the walls, along with artillery.

Throughout the next 15 minutes, your base will be attacked from the North and from the east. The attacks are strong, incessant and they make you unable to counterattack. For this reason, man all of the turrets, repair walls regularly and slowly expand your base, in wait for reinforcements. Leaving outside of walls will end up in a massacre on your units so, there is even no point in trying. For defenses, also produce some artillery and deploy it right behind the walls. In case your defenses are broken, rebuild turrets and place the Hand of Ruk or Predators in wall breaches.

If possible, build the Repair Pad and fix the Hand of Ruk with it. Losing the unit at this stage of the mission will be painful. Also, watch out while using rockets of the Hand. A projectile that explodes too close to the walls may damage them and cause unnecessary costs of repairs.

If you want to, you can try to go outside the walls and build another base, before the arrival of reinforcements - Mission 5 - Crash Site - The Beta campaign - Grey Goo - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you want to, you can try to go outside the walls and build another base, before the arrival of reinforcements. First of all, you are going to need a Repair Pad. Fix the Hand of Ruk, up to the level of 2000 health points. Then, man all of its turrets with Predators. Then, direct the unit Northwards [red 4], destroy the Goo Nest there and start building a base. Hand of Ruk ensures it with basic defenses. Thanks to the base, you gain more resources and you will be able to produce more units. Remember that you can win the mission without putting up an additional base. Things will, simply, get more difficult without it.

After 15 minutes, reinforcements will arrive [red 2]. It turns out to be another Hand of Ruk. Direct it Eastwards and destroy all of the enemy units along your path. One of them is the underground Dweller mine. At the moment, at which you encounter the first one, you receive an order to destroy the remaining ones. After a while, the Hand of Ruk reaches a resource deposit, occupied by the Mother Goo [red 3]. Destroy the unit and build a small base there. This is not required, but will ensure you with additional resources.

The rest of the mission is about exploring the map and destroying more Mother Goos - Mission 5 - Crash Site - The Beta campaign - Grey Goo - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The rest of the mission is about exploring the map and destroying more Mother Goos. The mission ends only after you have destroyed the last one. It is an exceptionally ungrateful, because these Goo units are mobile, capable of moving over mountains and highly durable. Therefore, they may be anywhere on the map and make you play hide and seek. Additionally, you should destroy all of the Goo Nests, because they regularly form small groups of units. IT is them that produced the waves of units that you have been attacked by earlier.

The easiest way to complete the mission is to clear the map methodically. Defend the main base and produce lots of Predators in the other one. Enable viewing resource deposits. Gather your forces, including the Hand of Ruk and dispatch them towards the nearest source. Clear it and leave several Predators around. At the same time, produce new units, both in factories, and both of the Hands of Ruk. With everything ready, replenish your army and head towards the next deposit. This way, you will be clearing the map systematically, of the enemy units and Mother Goos. Leave no unguarded deposits behind. This will only encourage the enemy to recapture them and you only waste your time on clearing the map again.

Mother Goo requires resources to function - Mission 5 - Crash Site - The Beta campaign - Grey Goo - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Mother Goo requires resources to function. After you attack, the AI will try to leave the ones it has been occupying and head units towards others. By securing all of the deposits that you have, you make the opponent have nowhere to go. Just remember to move each of the Predators defending each of the sources. Mother Goo attacks everything within close proximity so, motionless defenders, or turrets, will soon be destroyed. If, after you have destroyed all of the Mothers, build several Stratoses and dispatch them on a scouting mission. Moist probably, you have missed one, hidden somewhere in the mountains. Dispatch a Hand of Ruk, to deal with it.

To complete the secondary objective, you need to find Dwellers which can be found all around the map [Blue 1-19]. You should be able to find them, while eliminating Mother Goos. If there is one surviving, dispatch a unit with stealth detector, e.g. Stratos with appropriate upgrade.
