I'll save you the long speech... watch YouTube vids on each encounter, practice each method, run it multiple times a day for a week or longer. Eventually you'll get good enough at the repetition that you'll get it.
This is how I got mine, and why bungie doesn't change the parts that could easily have hidden death barriers put up in a quick patch.
Honestly, the more ppl you have, the easier it is to fail, so trying to solo crotas end is the best way, especially since our max level is now 400, easily making crota laughably easy.

All activities light maxs 40light+ at that years max level meaning all year 1 activities such as crota Vog an skolas all max at 170 all year two activities max out at 375 such as Oryx an Coe. Meaning being 400 won't help you anymore then being 170 for doing crota which is why people still use their old gear cause it won't matter

Edited by NeckPUNCHattack: 10/28/2016 6:46:29 AMI haven't solo'd crota in a few weeks now (always run it for materials to change into motes), but I was at 350ish last time, and I noticed damage numbers increase slightly when changing even just 1 light level. Even now, I still see damage numbers increase when swapping out weapons and gear, so regardless of what cap was stated for each activity, the damage numbers don't lie. Anyway, I finally did my flawless on 34 light level and thought it was too easy, so ppl trying now have it crazy easy. Best time to go for it (in case bungie decides to up the old raid levels in the future since they're done with destiny 1 dlc).

Actually it does matter, considering Crota will die in only six sword slams on hard mode, when a guardians light is around 380.
-
The sword slams have to do with player level, not light, I think. A level 40 will be able to 6-slam him regardless of light.

He died from 6 when I was 335 and when I was 170
