Crota Challenge Pointers

1) After killing the knights and acolytes during the opening sequence, kill one boomer from each tower. Do NOT kill both as it will make a wizard spawn on the platform on that side. This minimizes the effect the boomers will have, especially while the sword runner is trying to do damage. 2) Throw grenades at the sword bearer. Solar grenades are amazing for this. This helps save heavy/special if you didn't get any drops. Remember to follow him and call it from the middle room while you're waiting for Crota to rotate back around. 3) Remember the bubble. A BoL bubble on the circle platform near the exits of the crystal room gives an overshield while chasing the sword bearer and also distracts the remaining boomers. 4) The Oversoul will pop up every time Crota gets up. HOWEVER, you only [i]need[/i] to deal with one Oversoul per cycle. Down Crota. When the Oversoul pops up, this is when you can fire rockets/Sleeper to down him again. As long as you switch weapons and down the Oversoul, you're clear. This method stops you from dealing with two Oversouls each cycle. 5) On the subject of the Oversoul. We had one guy use Sleeper to down the Oversoul quicker. While the rest of us used Gjally to down Crota the second time (you only need 4 Gjallys from 400 light players), the Sleeper dude was firing away at Oversoul. We still needed to help with special ammo, but it goes down pretty quick this way and again, ensures you only have to deal with one Oversoul per cycle. 6) Sword runners don't have to leave the platform. Just running to the far side should give you enough time and space for the rest of the team to down Crota the second time, assuming you're following the rest of this strat. One Oversoul is best. Trust me. 7) Ogres still exist. After the second cycle (if you need more than 2), go down below the boomer towers and wait for ogres. It's the best place, really. 8) 13 right triggers will enrage. 16 to kill. Keep count. If enrage happens at the wrong time, game over. Edit: More Cowbell says a Celestial Nighthawk goldie will one shot the Oversoul. Save that ammo! Edit 2: My bad. If you're using only the right trigger attack, he enrages in 12 slams for 400 light folks. Also, WoL buffs the sword. Do with that information what you will. I've seen a lot of people pop it on the rock beside Crota's platform (the one most people use to get up there). Hope this helps! Happy hunting.

  • This is the strat my group uses. We don't sword Crota at his spawn. We do everything on the platform he runs to by the crystal room. Dont have to shoot the knights. Nighthawk for oversoul. 3 sword phases he was down on 3 runs. Super easy and the sword bearer has plenty of time to damage him and get the super sword swing on him sometimes 2 times. Last night taught this strat to 3 other friends and we 4 manned him. https://youtu.be/xspPI2xBrPg This isn't me trying to get views or promote my channel. This is actually a link required video on my personal channel. But its a smooth run and a strat you can teach to people who are new or struggling. Really hard to mess this up. Hope it helps.
