So secret that everything associated with it has the word 'secret' in it.Now, access to this mission takes place about 75% of the way through the game, so, although we'll do our best not to reveal anything story-wise, there are potential spoilers associated with this. If you don't want a single thing about SC2's campaign spoiled, stop reading now. In the mission called Media Blitz, you're in control of the massive war machine Odin. You can either perform this during the opening few minutes, or if you're careful and can keep Odin alive, use it once your base is established. Send Odin past the first little Dominion-controlled base on the bottom right, and turn right before you reach the first communication tower. Following that road, you'll eventually come across an odd-looking building labeled as being under the control of "Korhal Citizens," although your mini-map indicates it is enemy-controlled. When you use the Odin's special attack on this building, it crumbles and reveals a glowing item called "Secret Documents." When you collect this, it unlocks a secret mission that plays a lot like the hero missions of Warcraft III. It is also awesome. Secret! You need to do this before you go to Char, or before you complete the campaign, because you need access to the Star Map in order to access the unlocked mission. UPDATE: We're told you can in fact destroy that building with any unit, as long as you use the attack command (as opposed to simply right-clicking). We just did things the unnecessarily-hard way.
