I have a few questions about Crota / Gjallahorn etc.

So from reading a lot of posts and threads in this forum I realized that the favored method of taking down Crota seems to be having everybody equip Gjallahorn and shoot his shield down with rockets so the swordbearer can do his thing. 1. What I want to know, probably mainly from experienced players, what are the up and downsides of having either Gjallahorn or Hunger of Crota. Is Hunger of Crota an acceptable Gjallahorn substitute? Would it be better to have Gjallahorn or is it like, in a Group of 5 people you need at least X Gjallahorns. Please tell me the pros and cons. 2. What about other target tracking rocket launchers? What about Truth? I see nobody talking about that, and I wonder why. 3. Are there any other acceptable methods without using rockets? Do people go outside and fight or is it too hard with timing and enemies? And finally 4. Where exactly do these methods change from Normal to Hard? I know these questions require more than just a yes and no answer but I hope some of you veterans can share their knowledge and expertise! Full disclosure: I have Truth and Hunger of Crota and I am not sure if I even need to hope to drop a Gally at this point. I have defeated Crota on Normal while using an Ice Breaker while others were shooting rockets. I assume that is a no go for hard mode but I just dont know.

  • I have 81 completions on Crotas end raid. Probably around 65 of them are on the hard raid. The biggest difference is the strategy used in each raid. The hard strategy works for both, however the normal strategy is a lot harder to do with the hard raid. I have beaten the raid with no the gallys at all. Hunger of crota is an excellent substitute. It's cluster Bomb hits right after detonation. If anything I feel it's almost better then gally on taking him down since gallys wolf pack rounds take a little bit to track the target, though gallys initial impact is a bit more. Yes the truth is a decent substitute the plus size is the tube holds 3 rockets instead of 2, however the negative by far out weighs the positive, no additional damage after the initial blast. Crotas shield regenerates pretty quickly and if you have an inexperienced team using the truth I guarantee fail. However if you have a good raid team you'll be fine because they will know someone with a primary must keep shooting him so his shield doesn't regenerate.
