Crota Fight - Timer

Hey everyone. So last night me and my group were putting it in Crota's butt, and we realized something. Every time he enraged we noticed that the chalice times were close to 10 minutes. So we started a timer, we figured out a lot and it helps out quite a bit during the fight to know these things. I couldn't find anything showing these timers so I figured I'd post it. 1. The timer starts the second the shield / walls come down in the first room. 2. At 1:30 Crota will move from the middle to the right. 3. He moves every minute after that (2:30, 3:30, etc) 4. Roughly every two swords he spawns ogres. This will happen when he goes back to the middle from the right. So if your group starts on the left. He will rotate right, then back middle. Then ogres, when the ogres go down he will have already rotated left. Then you can go up to the right and when the next swordbearer goes down he should be headed back middle. Then the group rotates to the left again. (If the middle strategy is used the disregard this stuff). Ogres will spawn again at the same cycle next time. Which is usually around ~3:30 and ~7:30. Usually shortly after the second set of ogres goes down it's right around the 8 minute mark. 5. At 9 minutes exactly he will "Enrage is near" 6. At 10 minutes exactly he will enrage. So you will see ogres at about 3:30, and 7:30. After the second set of ogres (usually get killed in 45 seconds if you go middle) you usually have about one good sword run in you before he enrages. Crota will be in the middle at that point so you'll be in good position. We were able to get one sword off even when he was enraged on a run that we missed a couple of rotations, if you have a couple people focused on the oversoul, a couple on the swordbearer / crota. This is only if you mess up a lot early on, as you can kill him with 4 swords in about 7 minutes if everything is perfect. But hopefully this helps people who are struggling, I know the first few times not knowing when he would move was really screwing us up. The most important part of this encounter is getting the swordbearers down as fast as possible. You can easily get 6-7 swords and beat him without a problem even if mistakes are made on the damage if you bring them down super fast. Killing the ogres fast is also important as they slow down the next swordbearer spawn. Good luck, Guardians!
