Okay so most of us have at least done Crota's end at least once on any level. Well I am proposing we need to rename this raid because Crota spends most of his time messing with us. Here is what I have learned.
1. The sword bearer is a fly and must be swatted. I have not yet seen this when I play but I have seen videos. Crota decides he doesn't like the sword bearer beating on him so he either stays kneeling or gets up and swats the sword bearer, usually before the third smash can be done.
2. Sometimes the crystal to summon Crota is missing...I guess he wasn't home that time...or he is shy...
3. I just saw this on this forum but Crota sometimes changes his mind and decides to come back to life. Usually with full health...yeah....that sucks....I guess he died and got better....
4. Crota decides that the sword bearer is way too much trouble so he jumps off the bridge and smashes him just before he gets into position. I have seen this and its hilarious. Right after of course Crota jumps back up onto the bridge and continues as normal. Crota you are a jerk!
5. Crota can dodge better than a vandal! Seriously we shot at least three fully upgraded Gjallahorns and he decided to just duck and weave past all of it....that was kinda cool I have to admit. Crota you dodge better than the rest of us, dare I say jealous!
6. My all time favorite: Crota kneels then changes his mind in less than a second and stand up and smashes the sword bearer before the first hit can be made. Its kind of like Crota felt that sword might hurt so lets just smash it out of the way...kinda makes sense, I'd do the same thing. (might I add, when Crota swings his sword there is about 6-10 feet of invisible sword too, so there is no escape ha ha.)
So from my runs doing Crota, I have learned: 1. Crota is a jerk, 2. Crota can dodge better than we can, 3. Crota has a sense of humor, though twisted it may be, and 4. Crota seems to have a mind of his own...totally different from Atheon who just stays in his little square.
Now 90% of the time these weird observations are because of lag, but we have to admit they are very funny when they happen the first time...not quite as funny into the third hour of trying to beat him.
Please feel free to post any other weird things Crota has done while you tried to kill him.

Last night I was running the sword, I am still learning but am getting pretty good with it, and so I was standing near Crota invisible, we all thought everything was fine because he was ignoring me. Then my team started shooting rockets, Crota turns and as he is trying to crouch he swings his sword at me (I am still invisible). Everyone laughed because from my angle Crota looked like he tripped and fell on me.
-
My all time favorite: Crota decides he has had enough of your shit and follows the swordbearer (or the entire fireteam) inside to the Crystal room to give them a good thwacking. Guess Eris shouldn't have broken up with Crota, he seems to be fed up with all guardians now...
-
We were having a perfect hm run in our 3rd hour, with one more sword to go before crota died. As we exit the ogre room, crota jumps down and slashes half of our team. He just camped outside the f*cking door! Then I had to go :(

Teleporting hive boomers are deadly!!!
-
I had #4 happen to me back to back . My raid team was freaking the f out haha

Edited by bomma26: 3/1/2015 4:02:38 PMWhat about the boomers lol, ill be posting a vid later on that shows a hive boomer teleport to kill me and my mate and then teleport back off again as soon as the job was done lmao!!!
-
Encountered many of these. Saw another thread that said you need to have the sword carrier be the host so Crota's timing goes off them. That's how you avoid many of those issues.
-
Half of these are fixed by having the swordbearer be the host of the game. FYI.
-
Encountered many of these. Also had a random death on Crota while two manning it, it said Crota killed me. I was at the stairs at the bottom middle, but out of crotas range, about to kill the sword bearer and I died, full health and Crota insta-killed me apparently.
-
I know right? Changing the name might benefit players though, so it will take 12-20 weeks to figure out how to code it, you know, so we don't turn everyone in the tower in to a sweeper bot or something Now, is there anyway you could change the name so that the game gets harder? Then we could do it in a week or so
-
The other day Crota decided to kick me way up into the over soul area, the half circle Crota walks was the size of a dime I was so far up there.
-
Bumpppp
-
It's mainly the wind that kills you when he swings lol. Then 1000 mph winds would rip you a new one.

If you can dodge a Gjallarhorn, you can dodge a ball!

I nicknamed crota[b][u]Scrota[/u][/b]

Edited by Doktimus Prime: 2/27/2015 2:38:04 AMIt's not just crota. What about that shit head sword knight? I think he's got ADHD or something "I'm going to run behind this rock on the right! Oh wait, nope, I'm going to juke left! Hey what's that shiny thing under my boomer buddies? Better go check it out! Oh it was just glare but hey, I should run back to the middle now! Oh shit gatekeeper! I haven't seen you in a minute! What are you doing all the way inside there? I'm going to come hang out in there for a bit! Oh time to go back outside and take a rest behind these pillars..." He's a dick

One time I ran off the platform to go hide in the crystal room and turns out crota jumped off the platform and followed me in and whacked me. Scared the crap out of me when I turned around and saw him there.
-
Comment on this. Want to come back later.
-
I've seen crota hunt down my entire team the other day and I died laughing. He jumped right off and whacked the sword bearer on the left then ran up the stairs and started axing people off. Crota is a real jerk sometimes.
-
#6 is my favorite too. One of the reasons I stopped going back to the big gay pile.
-
Scrubs will always complain. Scrub tears collected
-
Last night we were on the final sword and Crota decided he was over his platform and charged the left side of the bridge (where we were naturally). It was the whole team "what the f? Oh shit oh shit oh shit." We got him down at the last second and the sword bearer high tailed it for the final hits. But it was pretty funny.
-
I always enjoy those. Especially his *Crota takes a knee then pops right back up* move "Just Kidding!" *Thwack!* I also like his "oh no, the guy who hit me disappeared... Wherever did he... *THWACK!* go?"
-
I don't understand how #5 happened? You guys probably didn't track it, because Gjallarhorn has proximity detonation.
-
Also the sword vanishing
-
I Always love when Crota jumps down chases you into the ogre room slaps the hell out of you walks up the stairs like nothing happen.. Awesome post I'm lol at work :D
