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.

( now kneels for 0.023 sec from 5.0 sec ) [b]-[/b] Standing on the ledge in the middle to sniper the towers is not how we intended you to play, nerfed. (will now spawn witches if you try to stand there) [b]- [/b]Being able to go back into the tunnel under spawn point was a coding error (doorMonkey), the door will now close. Sorry about that!

My friend make YouTube videos about destiny

I've done it with all my characters now. Is there a way to see how many people have beaten the raid?
-
Just posting so I can find this later.
-
Thanks! Good plan!
-
Commenting so I can try later
-
How many supers did your bladedancer end up using that fight just out of curiosity. (And my team always being 1 down short for crota to die and wiping because of enrage)
-
-
Their are Gatekeepers who spawn in the room of above the crystal thing. So maybe killing one with the sword does something
-
What mask did the Hunter have? Wanna see if MTM makes a difference
-
What did u get
-
I see a shrieker spawning in that room in the near future....

Thank you Mubeen95, thanks A LOT for this tutorial. I cry EVERY TIME I get to the last part of the raid, because no matter what 'strategy' my makeshift fireteam tries, we can never get anywhere near getting him to even half health. Seriously though, thanks. I'm going to try this tomorrow afternoon with a carefully assembled fireteam, as per your recommendations.
-
Our strategy is kind of like this took us 3 tries yesterday after we figured out our strategy. Easy.

Gg crota

I played through the raid twice and have gotten to Crota two different times in two days. During the final encounter I realized I must be missing something...... I was hoping smart would figure it out. Well done, I applaud you gentlemen.

6 RepliesI wish Bungie would just put out videos of how they meant for the raids/strikes to be played so that any and all thought could be taken out of the game.

Could you get your team to help me am at crota please message me on 360 gamer tag is iCeeJaay
-
Holy hell so now I can post in LFG that I'm a 31 hunter (when I hit 31) and people will want me in their group.
-
How are people saying this is a cheese or an exploit? So is using relics shield on the Middle platform in VOG a cheese? Supps can't get you there and anyone in the shield is in invincible.

Great now destiny needs to buff the raid
