hope the video helps you guys who are struggling, our 2nd attempt was much cleaner than this :D
P.S. don't forget to like and subscribe to sammy, planning to make a video to help explain things that weren't to clear in this video at some point later in the week due to this posts popularity.
[u][b]F.A.Q's[/b][/u]
[b]Why the Boomers don't notice the Sword Carrier -[/b] When the SwordBearer leaves his cave we crit him with snipers to pin him against the wall and kill him as close to it as possible allowing our carrier to pick up the sword and hug the wall up to the right ledge where he can then approach crota undetected, this method is best done with a hunter due to the BladeDancers Invisability but can be done on any character type as shown in the video as we use a titan, The Guardian Fetching the sword should not shoot anything when going in to the sword as this will draw the boomers attention.
[b]Update[/b] - Thanks again guys for the support, have posted and explanation as best as possible to explain how we get the carrier up to Crota undetected
[b]Update[/b] - 600 Likes, Keep Up The Good Fight Guardians, P.S. no Knights or Wizards were harmed in the making of this video :D
[b]Update[/b] - 1100 Likes, thanks guys keep on going, added a short video showing how to get up on the left and the right side's without being detected, all we had time for today guys :P --------> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otZbw_YV3dY
[b]Update[/b] - 23/01 we are experimenting with RB/RT/Super sword hitting combos to best reduce crotas health for the safest enrage kill, Best/Safest Combo we have had so far for consistency is 3RT/2RT+Super <Rotate> 3RT/3RT <Rotate/Orges/Rotate> 3RT[ENRAGE]/2RT and here's a video of a few of our mishaps today :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V2rvA3R9Pk
[b]Update[/b] - 24/01 Got bored of all the 2 sword post's so went for it with 2 randoms and heres the results, we altered our strategy slightly which you will see in our video. :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yN35Yv9NfQ

My group did this last night, but we would pop a defender bubble out on the platform to get aggro from boomers and crota. Ogres we went into right side ogre room.
-
lol do all you want then the game decides to -blam!- with you anyway haha for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqZk4oi6lrc or swords disappearing, ogres teleporting etc.... good servers are good since december

Thank you your awesome.

i need to help in the crotas raid PSN: Gb21110 Level: 31 Class: titan (PS3)
-
Nice run, but I can see it now "This is not the way we intended the hard raid to play" Hot Fix 2.0.9.0 The one about the middle platform. Omnigul will now spawn in as soon as all Guardians are in said area. Her scream will now Explode all Guardians heads off. Atheon will then Teleport Guardians headless bodies to the Mars portal.
-
Are you xbox one? I need a team that knows how to do it. Been trying it since hard mode came out with randoms and it just isnt working out. We are using your strat so i can adapt. Pls help me out since this is making me crazy right now.

Bump ultimate research

Thanks

Edited by Margiella: 1/23/2015 5:46:41 PMAs a designated sword bearer, I can say by far this is the most effective strategy that has worked. If you need help on psn I'll be down to run sword Psn: TripleHBK
-
Very legitimate strategy. My clan used this last night and easily defeated him with 2 swords. I am curious if people think this is cheating? I do not, but I'm curious.

Edited by ticket2mars: 1/23/2015 1:35:30 PMHere's a twist we added last night. Put a bubble almost on top of Crota. Sword guy and a Titan go up from right. Titan follows and puts bubble right next to Crota. Not on the edge of the platform as this doesn't protect sword guy very well. A bubble that creates orbs is helpful as well for health regen. Edit: therefore no need to even look at boomers. 4 guys downing Crota and a Titan hifiver for the sword guy on the rock.
-
I need help. We did this exact strategy and I was still getting shot by boomers. (I was running sword). What should we do to keep them off me or what should I do?
-
Edited by SkintightJeebers: 1/23/2015 4:08:09 PMSmashed Crota in using this last night, twice in a row. THANK YOU! Here's the start from the swordbearer perspective. http://youtu.be/pRQhvvdUxik

orrr you could do this :)

if anyone going to do the hard raid on crota u Must Watch This Video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NrtPUwqrF2E

Thanks!

How do you get more than two sword hits? I'm there before he's down because I'm invisible. I'm pressing up on the analog stick and doing right trigger. I can only get in three if I'm very lucky maybe one out of every 20 tries. This video he's doing 4. I even have a team with titans for bubble if we decide to try that route so I can do a super on him the first round. But he comes up after two hits. If I stick around I'm dead even though I'm as far away if not more than this guy is. If I'm lagging does it not register as well? Is my body therefore "closer" than in looks like on my screen?
-
Nice!
-
My teams sword guy raged after about 10 mins lol... I got to try to sword for the first time [spoiler]i dont use a mic so was very happy [/spoiler]i find.do the best way was to use blink. It's a very fast jump and can jump up there to hit crota and then jump down and back up again in time for him to start going down!
-
been trying this all day, things always look easier on videos lol.
-
Very nice! I'll have to try this later
-
You can also aggro the boomers to make sure they don't notice the swordbearer.
-
Awsome
-
We did this method today. It worked perfectly except for all of the glitches we encountered. The Knights never hit me while running sword. We just never beat crota because the sword disappeared on us one run and the ogres didn't spawn after the second sword so crota went into natural enraged. If you can get a fireteam that works together and doesn't go all Rambo then ylthus method works great.
-
just wondering why do i see so many people using visions of confluence on the hard raid? is there something about it i am missing? it is a 300 dmg solar gun and enemies are level 33 which require 331 damage weapons i presumed?
-
If you're having trouble using this strategy without getting killed by Knights or the Swordbearer keeps hiding try ours! We tweaked this one because we were having problems doing it this way: http://www.bungie.net/en-GB/Forum/Post/94612728/0/0
