Have you beaten the Crota Raid Yet? Tips included.
I have seen many posts about people complaining that the Crota raid is to hard. The raid is challenging (as it should be) but ultimately only requires communication. Let us know if you have beaten it or not and on what system so we can see what everyone has achieved thus far.
*Edit
[b]Tips for beating Crota from my personal experience[/b]
[b]Fire-Team Weapons[/b]
2-3 Gjallarhorn's
2 Ice breaker's
Sword Holder- Doesn't matter but I use the Vex
[b]Strategy - Note that this is not a speed run but anyone should be able to beat it with this method[/b]
1. Stay on the left stairs for first 2 sword bearer runs. Have 1-2 people focus on the knights. Kill the sword bearer and jump to the left rock. Have the people with the Gjallarhorn's bring down Crota's shield. The sword holder must time the jump up to Crota so that when he starts to kneel you are immediately hitting him with the sword. You must bring Crota's shield down twice each time you have the sword)
2. Drop down to the middle room at the bottom and kill the orgres.
3. Wait for Crota to go back to the middle platform and run back to the left Stairs. (Watch for exploding thralls and immediately kill the knights up top)
4. Complete steps 1-2 again (You should be able to beat him the 4th time you pick up the sword).
5. If he is not dead yet drop back down to bottom room and immediately kill the ogres. His "Enrage will be near" and you must kill the sword bearer as fast as possible. Bring Crota down and defeat him. This is your last chance before he is "Enraged" and it becomes pretty much impossible
6. Enjoy you rewards :)
*Edit
If you have any other tips please add them. Big thanks to everyone who has posted some thus far. If anyone is willing to help others who have not beaten it yet post you GT/PSN name. I'm more than willing to help out anyone on the X360 who is stuck. GT is same as the post.

Edited by Nex: 12/18/2014 4:30:18 PMCommunication over the chalice is key. When my team beat it, we usually exchanged chalices either when we were killing the sword bearer, or when we were in the room behind the titan bubble waiting to kill the ogres. Always make sure the sword bearer has the chalice when he goes up to kill crota, or you will usually have to wipe. We had one person with icebreaker kill the boomers in the tower, while 4 people with Gjallahorn took out his shield (All fully upgraded, took one shot each for his shield to go down). We made sure we spawned orbs and a bubble with weapons of light for our sword bearer so that he would do max dps on crota by popping a super. Also, when you are taking out his shield, go above the middle room, that way the boomers cant kill you while you are lining up your shots. The person with icebreaker should stay there and keep killing them, because his dps doesnt affect the actual crota fight.
