Final edit: I'm on for helping with the raid every night between 23:00 and 24:00. If u need help with swordbearing or anything else. Just find me on ps4. I try to stream more and more these days so make sure ur armor is Shiney. Tell ur mothers you will be on TV.
Keep trying peeps. When it doesn't seem to work, you've been at it for hours and everything seems to fall apart, just give it one more try.
You'll make it. When you finished him you finally have that he'll yeah moment you have been craving for for weeks.
Good luck!
Ps. We used the following tactic.
2 titans, 1 hunter and 3 whatevers.
Titans with blessing of light, hunter with arc and invisibility.
Activate the crystal, place a blessing bubble, run Trough it and kill everything except the Knights. Let a someone kill them with supers to create orbs.
The hunter should have his super, invisibility perks on, and longer duration.
Everyone run out same time to avoid boomers, run to outer ledge of the crystal room.
Kill the sword bearer. Hunter jumps down, uses super and invisibility. Grabs the sword. Team shoots crota with heavy, hunter hits crota with sword.
When crota stands up, hunter drops sword, uses blink strike to gain invisibility again, Crota goes down second time by heavies, hunter smashes him. Everyone runs back into the crystal room.
If the hunter did it correctly (lvl32) crota should have had at least 7 hits. So he's down to 2 third health.
Titans drop bubbles and create blessing and orbs, hunter gets his super again.
When crota moves back to the middle do it all over again.
When crota is at 1 third health, after 2 rounds ogres will come. Stay in the crystal room, kill trall and wait till you see ogres. 3 run out (at least 1 titan) go to the middle outer ledge again. Titan places bubble just to the right of the ledge to absorb boomer shots. The 3 guardians kill the ogres by using shield for protection and use heavy and snipers. They should be down in seconds.
Move back to crystal room and time it so crota is in the middle for the final round.
Same deal all over again. This time when crota gets damage after the first kneeling, enrage will be triggered.
Don't worry. Ignore oversoul, and get crota to his knees one last time.
Tralls will kill some or most of the team but crota is down.
Good luck. And most of all, have fun.
Edit: tnx for the nice replies and tactics.
Good tactic is to run inside the room under the boomers and kill the ogres from there.
Troll posts get hidden so don't bother :)
Edit 2: just did the raid again and finished crota first try 10 minutes with the tactic that people showed me in this post.
When ogres come move to the right or left boomer room and jump on top of the door ledges. Very good ogre tactic. Tnx guys!

For those who haven't beat Crota on hard. Feel free to add me on xbox one Gamertag is: N0 life scrub. I have completed crotas end over 40 times and love to help new people. I am the sword master so just bring rockets and heavy ammo. Piece of cake
-
We all been hunters when we've beat crota hard Also I was 31's at this time :P
-
For those who haven't beaten the raid on hard: You're not missing much.

Took me 14 hours to finnish the first raid on hard I was determined not to quit, we had swords de spawning, the knight running to the ogre room and staying there, crota getting back up as soon as he goes down, but was it worth it… yeah, had a great team by the end, we went through 9 players & 2 sword bearers in the end but it's what you make of it, big thank you to our sword bearer on the final attempt. As a warlock you realise your day in the sun in over aha

Okay, "keep trying" is starting to feel...a bit old. That's what You can say to someone playing VoG, where almost everything works properly. Im in a good team, Im fairly good myself and Ive beaten CE HM once with another tactic than "middle window". Took us about 6hours to get that flawless non-glitching round...SO many times the game overrides the rules of space, movement and HP. It would be done every 15min without those glitches. After everyone in my team is satisfied with their drops from CE HM we're going back to VoG completely. Much more fun and less glitchy.

Let's be honest people want only 32 max icebreaker and galla that's the harder part than doing the raid people be picky picky

The big problem that a lot are seeing including myself are the "opposite reality events". During the last crota raid we were in Crota on my screen was down on a knee, and on my teammates screen crota was still up and walking. This happened even in 1-2 of Datoos vids. If players are having opposite reality transpiring you'd think Bungie would post a list of known bugs or reported bugs from the raid... then again you know what Bungie always says..... [spoiler] nothing [/spoiler]

My internet is so terrible i can hardly play on a fire team

The problem is the random BS that the game is putting forth. We've been at it for too long (middle window strategy) - and getting very close to taking Crota down - except something random happens. For example, the sword bearer going into the room where Ir Yut is and killing the players through the window, the sword bearer being off the platform and on the rock and Crota killing them with the sword.
-
Also very helpful if on the way in and out to the crystal room a titan pops a bubble in the doorway. This helps give shields for boomer attacks
-
The problem is I need 7 rafiant shard to get yo lvl 32 :(
-
Replace weak links.
-
I think this deserves a bump.
-
When ogres come just go to the back right room where the ogre spawns. Kill the first one there. Much easier. Get on top of a door and don't use solar grenades warlocks. Kill the other one when you finish and just make you way back to the crystal room.
-
How many hits should be done with each sword?
-
Edited by Von Kunst: 1/27/2015 1:27:09 AMWe get so close every time...then the third sword will despawn or some other random glitch..so frustrating...at this point I feel it's more about luck then skill...feels like I'm playing a broken game.....I'm giving it a miss until a patch...up to crota works fine so I'll just do that

Sounds good. For the most part we do the same middle window method. Once we pop the 1st bubble on the inside. Everyone (3 left and 3 right) clears out the rooms. Collect up ammo and at the same time exit each side respectively, so boomers don't start firing and hit anyone. Take down sword carrier and one guy is assigned to DPS the boomers on whichever side the sword holder goes to. The others fire snipers and rockets at Crota to down him. After 2nd Knee everyone runs inside and waits for Crota to rotate back to middle. We all run out at the same time again. Repeat steps accordingly. this is where our version differs. The bubble method on the upper landing is ok but leaves room for error and thrall will attack you ( Saint 14 Helm will alleviate this). Instead, we all run to the boomer tower on the right hand side and go down below. The titan with a super available puts up a blessing on the way across so boomers don't kill anyone. Once downstairs clear out a couple thrall and get your health up. Get on top of the door frames and everyone look at the center door at the rear of the room. Ogre will come out and spam him with heavy and grenades. Melts him in 3-5 seconds. Jump down and spread out across main door, aim across the yard and second Ogre comes into view. Crush him out and before you leave have the other Titan put up blessing again to protect everyone on the way to the middle window sill again. Watch out for boomers and Cursed Thrall. Drop sword bearer again. And take Crota down witih 1st sword. he will enrage upon standing up. ignore everything and blast him one last time. Sword guy will kill Crota on his knee for the Win.

Invisible Hunters are boss swordbearers, makes life simples. When Ogres come heaps of our fireteam where getting eaten up by the boomers and we found it easier to run into the Ogre rooms from more towards the middle (from near the swordbearers door) rather than from like the doors where you run out cause the boomers have too long to see you then & when you come more from the middle the platform hinders their view of you. Good luck Guardians!

I helped my team get to crota on the reset, this morning I find out they had finished without me. This blows
-
Did this exactly till third sword vanished as I went to pick it up.... Got smashed and wiped :(
-
Why tell people how too do it
-
This is the exact strategy to do it, easy 15 minutes done
-
Ogres easier to kill where they spawn bruh
-
Sorry man, they half-assed this damn raid one too many times for me to care anymore. It got released, I cheesed the shit out of it because Bungie deserves that, now I only play crucible, the only thing they leave the -blam!- alone
-
What this fight all boils down to... Need to have a great sword guy. Need to have maxed Ghorns or HoC. Need to have a great sword guy. Need to have heavy ammo synth. Need a great sword guy. Watch the sword guy constantly f*ck up every which way and make every excuse in the book and you'll know what I'm talking about. Beat it twice last week and ran it many times. The difference between the many fails compared to the completions? The sword guy was flawless, fast and methodical. Head and shoulders above the usual "yeah, I know how to run it" guy.

I would like to beat crota on hard but even if we know the method to beat it we can't. My friends have left this game and I am stuck playing with people off the forums. Sometimes I even run into squeakers who think they are better than everyone. Not to be cocky but most of the people on the forums suck or are not willing to stick it out. I will usually give up after an hour or two on crota i don't have all day to run around and fail over and over...
