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

Nice thanks!
-
My friend and I have the cp on 360 if anyone wants to do this message me.
-
are you rocking the VoC in that vid? it looks like it.
-
Great post!
-
Someone reply so i wont loose post please
-
Bungie patching this would be disrespect to gamers as it is not an exploit or glitch involved.
-
i'd like to see this vid, but with the sword carrier point of view, whats the combo he is using?
-
Looks solid. Will give it a shot.
-
Nice strategy. I used to get up in the top middle but would jump down to bottom middle when Crota first ran to the right on normal.

Hotfix 1.08.1-- The One About the Middle Platform With the release of hard mode came many new changes, challenges, and "cheeses". Some Guardians have become quite adept at avoiding the new changes during the Crota boss encounter by using the middle platform to stay out of range of enemies. As a result, we've increased the range of the tower boomer Knights and we've also extended the "window" of the crystal room all the way to the edge, so that players can no longer enjoy their cheese without threat of damage. Furthermore, Hallowed Wizards will now spawn every two minutes of play, regardless if the tower Knights die or not. This is not how we intended Destiny to be played.
-
Nice. Thanks dude
-
Great setup! I'm gonna try this with my team. What happens with the Ogres?
-
Brilliant! So middle, kill sword, two rounds, back to spawn, wait for Crota to go back to middle, sword, two rounds, spawn, wait for middle, ogre massacre, spawn, wait for middle, then sword, two rounds go go go win?
-
It works, we used a variation of this strategy last night to beat him on hard.
-
This is probably my favorite strategy I've seen on Crota HM. I am wondering how long it will take a group of randoms to get the timing down on Crota's health and making sure that he only enrages near the end of the first of the two attempts you get with that last sword. I'm guessing it'll be difficult.
-
Bump for later

Interesting

-
Have u been able to replicate this more than a few times? In curious if it's a bug that they don't shoot at u atleast for the second sword strike since he hit crota. I can see them not engaging u bc u haven't shown any aggression up to that point but doesn't make any sense after u hit crota with the sword
-
damn, we used left door strat all night... f'ing nightmare.... thanks for this. never doing left door again
-
Great video thanks. Even on normal mode this seems a better way.
-
Comment for later

Do you think this could be done with 1-2 31's? All my characters will be 32 when I get home, but wouldn't mind helping some of our lower leveled clan mates through the crota fight(we ran them through the first few parts last night and just got 3x crota CPs.)
