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.

Edited by MrRage67: 2/14/2015 8:52:21 PMI raid with King Toze, I agree with everything he says, except one thing gally is by far the better rocket launcher for hard mode, I have taken it in on my level 30 before and with 2 rockets and someone shooting a primary (to keep his shields down while wolf pack is tracking) a level 30 can 2 hit Crota with a maxed out gally. Also from doing several hard raids with different people, try not to shoot rockets at swordbearer at the start, i have seen from experience, that once the swordbearer is hit by a rocket he likes to go far right or left. Which makes beating hard Crota, very difficult. Also make sure everyone as an understanding of the method before you start, I have been in several games where people make a rookie mistake and cost us. If you're with a "newish" group try doing a dry run, or doing normal Crota with the hard mode method, and do not pick up the chalice. So in short, Gally isn't a required rocket launcher, but it is very nice to have.
