Solo Crota's End

Anyone attempted this or completed it solo? If so, what type of setup worked best for you? Using a void hunter with the dont touch me gauntlets and the zhalo auto rifle, I was able to get to the bridge but thats it before the mob thrashed me. Would Red Death be a more viable weapon for this? Ive watched a couple of videos and some people are just awesome but Id like to hear some ideas on strat for this.

  • The bridge is easiest for me starting out a gunslinger triple jump plus bones of eao get to top of map and switch to blade dancer and dance across then kill ogres fast as possible before the annihilation totems kill you

      • I got Flawless Raider (and Platinum) the other day, but I've solo'd Crota's End 15+ times heres what I used and did. Start - Bladedancer Just to charge Super. Abyss - Bladedancer (All Invis perks, Blink, Flux Grenade, Don't Touch Me/Khepri's Sting, MIDA, Any High Impact Sniper, Any MG) Fairly straightforward. Crouch a lot, move when you need to. Should have no issues. Just jump on one of the two grey pillars at the end of the Abyss next to the plate cause the ogre to spawn, kill the ogre, wait for the bridge to complete. Bridge - Bladedancer (All the same perks except swap Blink for Higher Jump, Bones of Eao, Any Primary (I used Doctrine), Any High Impact Sniper (I used Longbow), Sleeper) Run over the plate to trigger the fight, kill the Swordbearer roughly when hes in the middle of the room to give yourself more sword time. Jump up onto the first pillar on the right Annihilator Totem, facing towards the Bridge. Jump twice towards the bridge spacing it out as much as possible then continue to swing the sword towards the middle of the bridge. Once at the bridge, turn towards the middle and you should reach the normal end. Kill the Gatekeeper before the sword despawns. Wait behind the leftmost light next to the end of the bridge. Kill enemies as they spawn (you can bait Thrall to walk off the edge its hilarious), and kill the 2 ogres with the Sniper once they spawn. Thrallway - Bladedancer (All the same, same weapons) Run in and kill the first Shrieker with Sleeper, retreat to the entrance for safety. Go invis and jump on one of the platforms so thrall cant hit you. Sleeper the 2nd shrieker, jump twice and use Arc Blade to reach end of room. Switch to Nightstalker. I'll edit in Ir Yut and Crota later.

        Hunter blade dancer is easiest by far. Invisibility all the way through lamps. For other classes use the rock at the 2nd lamp to jump, with boost jump, up a level and skip 80 percent of the run. Bridge and death singer easy, solar sword at death singer. For crota: run double grenades! Except for hunter of course. You want either big damage grenades or DoT grenades: solar on warlock are best. Whip out ol' gjallarhorn. 1 grenade, 1 ghorn shot and he's down. Sword him and repeat. I soloed him 3x a week for 5-6 weeks to get blackhammer at the start of the year. Easy peasy

        I do every week solo on hard, here's what I use On Warlock, sunsinger all the way Lamps = zhalo, solar nades and claws of ahamkara Bridge = max agility + raid boots for the jump Crota in 1 sword = radiant skin, apotheosis veil and quillem MG On Titan, defender until crota Lamps = zhalo, helm of Saint 14, armor of light, spike nade Bridge = NOTHING.all titans can jump easy Crota = I use sunbreaker and red death these days, just easier for me to do in 2 swords with titan On Hunter, bladedancer all the way Lamps = don't touch me gauntlets and MIDA Bridge = max agility + raid boots (I prefer blink to get across) Crota in 1 sword = solar sword

        For my flawless solo I used defender all the way through. Used Sleeper Simulant all the way up to Crota then switched to Gjallarhorn. That almost caused me to wipe, it's inconsistent on whether 2 rockets will drop him. I had forgotten the mechanics too, so my mind was thinking about how the sword guy works and how to switch seamlessly from rockets to swords (having never practiced it) instead of thinking about throwing a grenade AND 2 rockets to drop Crota. Trying to cheese the bridge with hunter would be interesting, if you plan on doing it solo.

        For abyss, you know the drill. Hunter with max invis and agility. If possible, crouch to go invisible and if you can't, melee to go invisible. Learn the shortcuts to make everything go faster. Jump on the miracle rock at the end and snipe the ogres with black spindle/icebreaker. I will assume you know how to cheese the bridge. Max agility, max invis. Use bones of aeo to climb to the top of the tower, despawn enemies, glide across bridge with sword, and take out the acolytes until ogres spawn. Go invisible whenever you are ready to shoot at the ogres with a sniper. Patience and time works really well for this. For the hallway, use your best rocket launcher and finish the first shrieker off with your primary if it survives 2 rockets. Use invisibility to advance a little bit further into the hallway and jump on top of one of the blocks to avoid getting killed by the regular thralls. Watch out for the cursed thralls. For the deathsinger, the easiest way to do this is to cheese it. There is a way you can scale the mountains off to the side and get on top of the building where the deathsinger is. In order to damage the deathsinger, you must kill BOTH of the shriekers. Use the method from the hallway to take them out. If you do not know how to climb the mountain, look it up on YouTube. Use invisibility whenever it is necessary. When the deathsinger is dead, stay on top of the building and kill the enemies with icebreaker if you have it. Finally, crota. Use red death in the beginning as well as a gun that gives you more heavy ammo per drop. If you don't have red death, use the melee ability that restores your health with a kill. Switch to max agility and invisibility when all the enemies are dead and put on raze lighter. When you pick up all the heavy ammo that dropped, go grab the chalice. Throw a grenade at the sword bearer and finish him off with a sniper. Grab the sword and bring it on top of crota's platform from the right side. Use raze lighter's ability to down crota and damage him with the sword. Right before he gets up, use your melee ability to go invisible and down him again with raze lighter. Damage him again with the sword and go back to the room to collect your thoughts. Rinse and repeat. If you have any questions, ask me, as I have done this method to get the flawless raider achievement because you can't trust your teammates to do anything right.

        • Hey there. I know it's not the hardest content anymore, but I love solo'ing Crota. To be honest, all I would suggest for setup is to max out your agility. When I run it I cheese the lamp section and the bridge. From there I run it fairly normal. To cheese you'll need Bones of Eao to add a 4th jump to triple jump so that you get on the ledge at the 2nd lamp and also to make the bridge jump. If you don't want to or can't cheese the lamp section, I'd suggest the don't touch me gloves, and run a Telesto as your special. Shoot the ground as you're running and the purple plasma rips up the thrall chasing you. Again, max agility to help you move fast. In a panic you could teather the ground to give you a few seconds to recoup health. Once at the end you find a high perch (I like the rock beside the lamp) and wait for the abyss bridge to be built. Bridge: hit the plate, kill the sword knight and make the jump. No need to worry about the thrall. Once across get onto a rock and kill the wizards and ogre. High impact snipers for the ogres and a couple rockets to the Wizards. Hallway: shoot the first shrieker before entering the hallway and then get onto the 3rd slab to your left just inside. Rocket the 2nd and run like hell. Drop an invis smoke bomb to help if you need to. Deathsinger: I start on the right side and use Invective. Use primary I kill knight, shotgun wizard, rocket shrieker, exit room. Circle back to left side, shotgun wizard and rocket shrieker, exit room. go back to the right side room and start clearing up the knights and adds and wait until the deathsinger starts the countdown. Once they have they stop moving which helps. Teather the deathsinger and rocket her to death. Once dead exit the room and start clearing up all the add. Make sure you get all of them. Crota: clear both side adds, arm a shotgun and drop down to go for the swordbearer. Grenade the sword dude after he exits his room, shotty him, grab the sword and shift to the rock on the right. Here you've got a few options, but solar weapons are the way to go. Exotic sword, dragons breath Y2 with the flame barrel, Y2 rocket with cluster bombs, or Y1 Gally. With sword you have two swords per run, rockets only one sword. So if you go rockets you'll need 3 sword cycles. It's all about timing here. And you'll need some practice. I've run it solo lots of times. There's a flawless raider solo on my twitch highlights if you want to review the above in practice. Good luck.

          • Bladedancer is easy to just invis all the way thru lamps, but you can sunsinger your way thru as well. Double your solar grenades, max your int/disc. Run to a lamp, toss a grenade down and stand in it. You can still cheese the lamps by jumping up at the third one, but that's no fun.

            • Bladedancer for first part. For bridge use gunslinger with bones to get across and the nighthawk to one shot an ogre and snipe the other. Nightstalker for deathsinger. Bladedancer for crota. Weapons: zahlo for entire raid till crota Luck in the chamber RR4 entire raid Quilliums till crota, the switch to raze lighter or D. Breath. Bladedancer: run escape artist, shadow jack and the crouch invis. Gunslinger doesn't really matter your perks Nightstalker just make sure you have black hole and longer nade and smoke effect. If you have any more specific questions or I missed something ask away.

                • Lamps - Bladedancer -> Invis perks -> Don't touch me gauntlets Bridge - Bones of Eao -> Higher jump Deathsinger - Raze Lighter wizards, snipe shriekers. Clear adds while waiting for song to start, deal with deathsinger. Crota - Go invisible, take the sword next to crota, raze lighter him once, smack, repeat.

                  • Blade dancer is pretty easy to do it with. You can easily blink across the bridge. Go to the far right and kill ads until ogres spawn. Kill right ogre asap then slowly take down the left with a sniper. Usually you have to kill one of the witches in the middle.
