My clan 'Death Squad' just beat Crota with two 31's and four 30's. Video here.
[b][quote]We're working on a new video showing an in depth guide from all player roles needed to beat Crota. Subscribe to the YouTube channel to be notified once it's uploaded.[/quote][/b]
[u][b] Guide:[/b][/u]
The sword holder was a level 31 bladedancer hunter with the [b]stalker[/b], [b]shadowjack[/b] and [b]higher jump[/b] perks. This is the only requirement apart from the rest of the team being level 30+.
Once we kill the first mobs near the crystal the bladedancer went down to grab the [b]chalice of light[/b] whilst one went infront of the main window you start behind with an icebreaker to take out the knights that spawn at the top of the two towers on either side of Crota. The other four went down to the middle as you can see in my POV in the video.
Once the [b]sword bearer[/b] spawned the four at the bottom took him out and the bladedancer took the sword. The bladedancer then went to the left side of Crota were there is a rock you can jump on to reach Crota. In the corner of the rock is a crack he crouched in to get invisibility. Once invisible the bladedancer jumped up to Crota and instructed us to take his shields down. Two gjallahorn rounds and a few bullets takes this down easily.
Once down the bladedancer is already right next to him and he used the strong attack ([b]R2[/b] / [b]RT[/b]) [b][u]FOUR TIMES (OR 3 AND A SUPER)[/u][/b]. He then immediately jumped back to the bottom middle to regroup with the four others.
When Crota runs to either side, all players excluding the knight killer regroups at bottom mid. The knight killer goes to the oppsite side and hides behind the doors so he can still pick off knights.The sword bearer will then spawn, so wait for Crota to run back to middle. Then have the knight killer return to his position and repeat previous steps to damage Crota.
As you can see in the video I occasionaly jumped up to see the door beneath Crota as this is where the sword bearer spawns. If it doesn't open then [b]two ogres[/b] will come. If this happens everyone go to bottom middle and use snipers to kill the ogres. Once done have knight killer return to his position. Eventually another sword bearer will come.
[b]Crucial tip:[/b]
If possible have the four use their super on the stairs outside the bottom mid on thrall to generate orbs. This will allow the bladedancer to get his super whilst holding the sword which causes much more damage on Crota.

Not that I know anything about the fight but that looked... Anticlimactic
-
Gotta try this tonight!
-
How long you think they'll take to seal that room? Great job guys!
-
i hate it when CoD guys do a video.. the forth back forth back forth back movement. of their chars in order not to get sniped or shot is not needed in that level.. the enemy is a mostly melee.. so yes you can stad still especially if you are in a safe spot.. *hmpf*
-
Nice!!
-
Commenting to check back later thanks I love you
-
I haven't even done the raid and I thought about going invisible and doing that strategy before I read this! Hah, I guess great minds think alike :) that's awesome, congrats!
-
Defeating Crota is a bug. Patch: Crotas health bar will be removed.
-
Nice one we did it more or less the same way only we had a void walker as the sword bearer and blinked up to Crota, here's a link to us beating him we did it in seven minutes
-
Bungie devs are watching your video, and already figuring out what they will patch with the next hotfix.
-
Where exactly does the knight killer go? Your statement didn't make much sense. I understood where he was initially (behind the front window) what doors though?
-
I thought Hunter were USELESS in Raids??? Thanks for finally destroying that myth. Great job my friend on cutting Crota's life short!!
-
Bump for later
-
-
There's a problem with your strategy. You can attack him twice before the sword disappears
-
Nice job
-
Nice one.
-
Bump to read later
-
Thanks for the video! I am very much looking forward to actually doing this raid.
-
Can u post on how to pass the bridge? Having trouble with it
-
Nice Job! We got to Crota yesterday and thought up the hallway part. I like the idea of having a guy in the top room for knights.

Edited by ㅤ: 12/11/2014 2:52:47 PMBeat the raid 4 times within 24 hours of release using a very similar strategy.. we never had more then 2 31's but managed to get it done. Love the raid, the difficulty makes it fun. Btw i located two raid chests aside from the boss drops. Do you know of any other?
