DEATHSINGER
Now this is probably the hardest part of the raid in my opinion. there are so many Ultra Knights here it's easy to get 2 shot or even 1 shot in lower levelled characters.
Ok, to approach this fight you will need to form up into 2 groups of 3 (left and right) When you leave the pit room - ignore the 2 knights with swords on their knee's in front of the exit - Killing these knights will start the Deathsingers Liturgy countdown timer and then it's a rush to get through the fight and mistakes can get made. Then 1 guy runs into the left room and 2 up to the sniper tower and the same on the right side - The idea is to get in and out quickly and coax your Wizard out so the 2 snipers on each side can take them down quickly. The next part is tricky and nearly always ends in someones death. once both Wizards are dead all 6 guys need to kill the knights on the Right (left when facing the Deathsingers room) there SHOULD be 2 outside but others may have walked across from the other side - then 1/2 people go to the door and you can take the shrieker out from outside the room minimising possible death. Then the hard part - Everyone needs to cover the right while 1 person goes in and kills the other shrieker as quickly as possible

Once the shrieker is down everybody moves to the right side (left if you look from Crota's start point to the Deathsingers window. On the way take out those 2 knights that you left from the start to start the Liturgy and release the force fields around the Deathsinger - Get in there, cover each other and blast the Deathsinger with everything you have, she has a lot of health and it takes a lot to take her down. Once down you can all get out and take your prefered clean-up spots (usually the 2 towers) and mop up all the remaining mobs around and then you are done.

CROTA Whomever is going to be the sword carrier must be in charge of letting everyone know when to 'burn' Crota - only they will know if they are in a position to strike. Remember those 2 teams of 3? Good. thats the side you are shooting out of after everyone stands by the crystal for a few seconds to activate the shields. From this point onwards (not including the chalice) you will no longer recover health naturally. It is each of your teams responsibility to kill the 2 knights and all the acolytes on your respective side. make sure you communicate and do not leave the room without all the adds being dead. 5 people head to the left side and the sword carrier will run out the right jump down and agro the Sword bearer and grab the chalice to bring up to the left side. (you should grab the chalice at this point if you are low on health so the sword carrier can take it with them when they strike. You should have 2 snipers on the left taking care of the 2 boomers that spawn at regular intervals and the 1 melee knight that jumps down. These are the main threat to the sword carrier whose only task is to be ready to strike as quickly as possible. also it can kill anyone else on the left too. the 3 guys and the will-be-sword-carrier should kill the sword carrier as quick as possible. The sword carrier picks up the sword and gets in position to strike. When they say they are ready - 2 Jellyhorn or equivalent damage should put crota on his knee (the 3rd guy can pop their primary into Crota to make sure he goes down (Vision of Confluence I find is best for the job)) If timed correctly Crota will take a Knee as soon as the sword carrier is coming down on him. You should have time to do a melee-melee-Fire combo and if quick an extra slam before he gets up - The sword carrier must make this determination also. The sword carrier then jumps back to safe spot and tells the others when to burn him again. And repeat the routine again. If you are super quick at the start getting the sword and in position - you CAN 'just' get 3 attempts in but normally only 2 goes each sword. After this Crota will run to the Right hand side - Keep taking out the Boomers and Melee knights, kill adds around the stairs and tease the next sword bearer towards you. keep his health low (it regenerates quickly) but don't kill him until Crota starts moving back to the centre. Repeat the previous section and If you manage 4 attacks with 2 swords with a level 32 character this should be enough to Kill Crota. If he still has Health then everyone needs to retreat to the pit room and wait for the 2 Ogres to come out. At this point Crota runs to the left. Take out the Ogres and peek round and up to the left for when Crota starts moving back to the centre, when he moves so do you - back up to the left stairs (be aware that thralls will be running out of the room at the top (including Explodies)) Also be aware that the 2 boomers and melee knight will be around also. At this point you have another 2 chances to deal damage which should finish him off. If at this point Crota is not down then Enrage is near and the Oversoul will continuously be coming up and you will have to wipe. If at any point during this fight someone dies - you need to shoot the Oversoul which appears in the sky above the central point - If you do not kill it then you all die. It is a judgement call on whether to wipe or not when the oversoul appears. If it's early I suggest wiping, if Crota is nearly dead it is worth trying to finish him. Again a judgement that needs to be made there and then. if you are wiping - it is suggested to run around and collect as much ammo as possible before dying. Hopefully this will help anyone who needs tips for putting Crota on his arse and surviving the Darkness!! Again I hope others will post their Tips and class specific tips especially.
