Husk of the Pit Q&A

[u][b]Welcome to The Husk of the Pit Q&A[/b][/u] [b]Please +1 this thread, Thank you.[/b] [b]Q: How do you get the Husk of the Pit[/b] [i]A: You kill Blades of Crota, There is a chance to get it every kill.[/i] [b]Q: Is there an easy method.[/b] [i]A: It all trickles down to RNG, you can spend 4 minutes to 4 hours. The best method is through the "First of Crota" Mission on Earth. You bypass the enemies in the beginning and kill the Blade of Crota that spawns. Return to orbit if you have not received it, Rinse & Repeat.[/i] [b]Q: Does the Mission Difficulty matter?[/b] [i]A: No, you are just as likely to get it on Normal (24) than you are on Hard (30)[/i] [b]Q: Is this the Necrochasm?[/b] [i]A: It is believed to upgrade to the Exotic weapon, yes.[/i] [b]Q: How do I know if I got it?[/b] [i]A: You will receive the item through a notification; Similar to when a quest is completed. It will not drop as an Engram nor Loot (Triangle).[/i] [b]Q:Do you need to have Black Wax Idol active?[/b] [i]A: Not unless you want extra glimmer.[/i] [b]Q:Does it only work on the Trial Version of Destiny?[/b] [i]A: No.[/i] [b]Q:Do you need the Eris Class Item equipped?[/b] [i]A: No.[/i] [b]Q: Do you need to be a certain rank for the Husk of the Pit to drop?[/b] [i]A: There is no level requirement to receive this weapon.[/i] [b]Q: Do you need to have a Bounty/Quest Active?[/b] [i]A: No you don't.[/i] [b]Q; How do you upgrade it to the next tier?[/b] [i]A: Amassing a large number of [u]Hive[/u] Kills will unlock the option to upgrade, an Embalming Orb (Purchased from Eris Rank: 3) is required to upgrade to tier 2.[/i] [b]Q: Is there an easy way to upgrade it?[/b] [i]A: The most recommended strategy is to progress to the Hive section of "The Dark Beyond" Mission on the Moon. Kill all the Thrall and Acolytes, Then have the Knight kill you to restart the wave. [/i] [b]Q:What element is the Husk of the Pit?[/b] [i]A: The Husk of the Pit has no elemental attribute (Kinetic). Neither does it's second stage (Eidolon's Ally). However, The Necrochasm will have Arc damage.[/i] [b]Q: To upgrade the Husk of the Pit, can I get kills in the Raid?[/b] [i]A: The weapons gains "XP" when you kill hive enemies, Unfortunately, raid enemies do not give XP/Glimmer. Furthermore, the enemies you encounter are level 30+ Therefore it would take an extensive amount of time to kill 1 thrall.[/i] [b]Q: What level do you have to be to obtain the Husk of the Pit?[/b] [i]A: There is no level requirement.[/i] [b]Q: Do you need the DLC to obtain the Husk of the Pit?[/b] [i]A: DLC is not required to acquire the weapon, however in order to upgrade it to the next tier you will need an Embalming Orb from Eris (Rank: 3), and that requires the DLC.[/i] [b]Q: Can you get an Embalming Orb from dismantling the Husk of the Pit?[/b] [i]A: No, You only get glimmer.[/i] [b]Q: Is this PlayStation Exclusive Content?[/b] [i]A: No, Husk of the Pit, Eidolon's Ally, and Necrochasm (Tiers 1,2, and 3 respectively) are available to all consoles.[/i] [b]Q: Does Auto Rifle telementary help when upgrading the Husk of the Pit? [/b] [i]A: Yes, it will reduce the kills from around 500 to 300.[/I] [b]Q: Can you acquire more than one Husk of the Pit?[/b] [i]A: Yes.[/i]

        • I leveled up my Husk yesterday doing the "The Dark Beyond" mission as described in OP's post. I set it to level 9 to make sure you get more mobs to take out and just killed them all as they appeared from the door and then restart the wave. It took about 20 minutes to unlock the perk to upgrade the weapon (around 500 hive kills).

            • Is Xur going to sell Embalming Orb? I mean come on why not? Getting to rank 3 is hard as hell. And I'm not even rank 1.

              • Each time I got a Husk of the Pit, it dropped out of the blue as I was killed random Blades of Crota for that Eris Morn bounty during Patrol. But when I DID try to farm for one, it refused to drop. LOL, go figure. Anyhow, all three of my character at least two Husk of the Pit drops while having Eidolon Ally in their possession. I can also confirm that a character can have more than one Husk of the Pit in their inventory at once.

                • First 1 took over 200 kills. Now I get 2 or more a week. Think I just got #11 lastnight. I stopped counting.

                • *Cough* I got one from Killing Urzok the Hated and I'm pretty sure Killing either Omnigul or one of the TDB bosses gave me one as well.

                • Anyone else spend over 4 hours for this shit? Going on 4 hours and no drop yet from the fist of Crota. I am thinking my character is bugged this week. Did the Crota Raid last night 3 times and well... I got nothing but shards from Crota when I beat him down. This game is just terrible with RNG. I wonder if anyone else has spent this much time. Check my profile and you will see how long I have been doing this today. Its -blam!-ing stupid.

                    • on earth, doing the Eris mission to kill a few sword of crotia, I'm in the mothyards, I see a sword of crotia praying to an urn, I knife him in the back, I'm then asked if I want to steal the treasure, which I do, all hell kick off when a spaceship full of baddies turn up, then later when I'm done I'm checking what I've got and I have one of these husks of the pit! Later the same happened again, I had two, so dismantled one... I'm not sure what good it was for... Is it in anyway a decent weapon? What is it for?

                      • If you are all wondering how to level up the rifle by killing Hive, an easy way to do it is killing Elite (yellow bar) enemies...it levels up much faster...maybe find three enemies that spawn over and over on earth?

                        • Question regarding Eidolons Ally - so in its legendary form the stated max attack value is 324. However, having maxed it as far as I can (without a crux of crota) I have reached about 313 attack - my question is will 324 be obtainable for only a brief nanosecond before the weapon evolves into Nechrochasm or will I have a choice to keep the weapon as a legendary primary?

                        • All I can say is I have 2 plus the elledon ally thing now the last 2 I got today doing nothing but on patrol. I killed prob like 3-6 Knights over the time I played today. I remember one thing though. They both dropped rather close in time. I think there could be something to killing the Knight before he can more or less do anything. For example the last drop I tossed a blinding grande and he walked backwards and I just shot him in the head. He didn't even swing the sword.

                          wish I'd have read this before dismantling one of my HotP's for the embalming orb (which was listed as the materials). Got glimmer and parts. Oh well, I've still got 2 of them and I've found 4 overall by simply patroling...mainly in Steppes and Skywatch on Earth. EDIT: I've noticed that if I do body damage on the swordbearer first, then land the killing blow as a headshot using a scout rifle or hand cannon, I often get one. Also, for non-crit damage I've used a void weapon. Still trying to find a solid pattern when I have time.
