My main tip, once you get good at getting four slams each down on Crota on normal difficult, move to hard. Also, just stay calm. I remember how hard my heart was beating when I first started haha. Anyone else had that? In addition, the little box/platform that the chalice is on while playing normal is the best place to sit. I usually equip the swordbreaker and jump on top of that box. Crota cannot shoot you. Just keep maneuvering around the box(avoiding curse thrall and swordbeaer). Pump him full of shells. This is how I usually get three downs in on Crota. The swordbeaer should stay very close to you. Once he is dead, pick up the sword and immediately tell your team to fire. Jump directly onto the stage (not going to rocks) and he should be down(if your team is good). Once he stands up, count to 2 and have your team shoot before he returns to his normal color(he is red and will be immune. Counting to 2 then firing rockets will hit him the exact second he is able to take damage again). Repeat. Very easy two sword on hard. Edit: Thanks for the feedback guys. I have a a crota montage from the swordbeaer's perspective if you want to check it out. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6GKfvpt8foA

  • One of the reasons I still love this game is because of the thrill of swordbearing. Get the heart rate up. Gets the juices flowing. And I still get that "HULK SMASH" feeling after a successful run. It makes me want MORE. :)

  • I have yet to solo Crota normal, I've probably 2 manned it more than 6 man though...no joke. I've been thinking abt soloing it. My heart always gets pumping on that last sword though. dude like 2 weeks ago I finally got this on clip...got Crota down to enrage. he stood up, I bounced to rock...but he hit me RIGHT before going down as I jumped back up...self-res'd & got him literally in the same second that oversoul killed us. just before it killed us, it was awesome man. I've done it a couple of times but I have a habit of always forgetting to record it, finally got it though. it's a sweet clip

  • nah no link to it, but if you have Xbox One you can check my clips out. I'm not sure if there's another way to watch clips aside from that.

  • word man you're gonna love if you haven't had one prior to this. I love their set up. Snapping app, smart glass app. download Smart Glass app on your phone. you can do anything on your Xbox from your phone. Soooo much easier to find people & send messages. Feel free to send me a friend request if you want man. we can play crucible & tomorrow's reset of course. never hurts to have more experienced players on my friends list! I've been trying to find some people to play crucible with. I'm not a big crucible guy, but I've been playing matches here & there & I'm pretty damn good at it. I just can't find myself going to that playlist when I'm solo...I enjoy it, but not enough to do it alone consistently.

  • Hell yeah it feels great! now that I've gotten the hang of it, & I stay calm as long my fireteam shoots synchronized rockets & follow the rest of my directions loosely enough it's actually almost always a first try encounter now. even w. Randoms without gjallarhorn. people who solo Crota only use 2 gallys & a burning nade to down him...so if there's even one gally w. The rest of any kind of rocket he goes down quite easily. idk why some people make such a big deal out of it...frustrating when I get that one dude... feels great having flawless runs & not having to use a red death/suros for the health. I don't run back to crystal room for the entire thing unless I really need to so I don't pick up the orbs generally. feels awesome using Word & truth..the truth is amazing for running sword. The blast radius destroys all thrall in the vicinity & tracks that swordbearer around the rocks & pillars he likes to run behind! plus 8 rockets :)

    Stay calm you say? i can never do that because i know someone in my team always ends up screwing up. I rarely die as a sword runner but generally the causes are: 1) The titan doesn't communicate that he doesn't have a bubble so i cant adjust 2) The people running back inside the crystal room after first sword end up getting killed by one of the boomers 3) In the ogre room someone will throw a grenade, miss and hit themselves with it and die 4) Someone screws around shooting everything which causes the swordbearer to run in the most awkward locations 5) Crota does what he does best. cheeses me with some of the worst glitches known to the man kind, 6) The dumb-ass that forgets that they have tracking rockets and shoots them thralls when they are in front of your gonads in the ogre room can cause certain deaths The only time i cam calm is when Crota is on his knees during the last sword and i get the last 2 or 3 hits on him

  • It works best if you play with the same team every week. I usually run the raid with two friends of mine. Also, swordbeaer should be host, make sure everyone's connect is "good"

  • That's my problem, i only have one friend who i regularly raid with, the others get on much later (or not for a few days) and by that time if we havent beat it i have lost any motivation or will to do it anymore............So i most likely end up playing with a group or randoms from LFG which lately are either full of squeakers or new players who dont know the first thing about HM. I've done a fair few HM, (almost 40 completed i think) and i'm i'm certainly not desperate for it, but i and trying very hard to learn the two sword method and its just annoying when your teams let you down.

  • You can do this on normal and take crota out with one sword. You'll have time to drop him 3 times

  • pretty much what I do. I just use gjally instead of swordbreaker and I still go right rocks. But even going right side I have enough time for 3 downs.
