[b][u]STEPS TO THE RAID![/u][/b]
Form the bridge, go across and fall into the starting hole!
[b]STAGE 1[/b]
Chest:
[spoiler] After you enter the abyss, walk down the hall towards the first lamp. Before that, turn left down a dark corridor with a small white/orange light above a doorway. The door will open when you go near it if the chest is in there. My friend got the new exotic sniper.
EDIT: it's a random spawn in the doors.
EDIT 2: This chest seems to be similar to upper gorgon chest. It contains class items, upgrade materials, and a chance at exotics. Comment if this is wrong or other things come from this chest
*might contain raid set gear*[/spoiler]
You will be in a dark tunnel surrounded by thralls and cursed thralls.
Weight of darkness will stack up to 10 and you can't run.
Move as a tight group from pillar of light to pillar of light.
Avoid the holes in the ground!
Stay at each pillar till around x6 so you can sprint again but not long enough for it to turn red and explode!
Once you get to the end section there will be a circle on the ground that forms a bridge.
Defend the bridge from 2 ogres and knights.
When the bridge forms run across and there will be an ogre on the other side.
Run past or kill him and continue down the hallway.
[b]STAGE 2[/b]
At the start there will be a similar circle and 2 temples.
atleast 1 person needs to stand on each temple and one to form the bridge.
A SwordBearer will spawn and drop a sword.
1 Person use the sword and cross the bridge.
YOU MUST KILL THE GATEKEEPER! if it kills you, its a good idea to wipe.
Repeat that process till 3 people are over to the other side!
Then, on the other side 1 person must stand on each temple and 1 on the circle to hold the bridge up.
The people stuck at the beginning can leave the temples and kill a swordbarer and cross the bridge one by one.
Each person that comes over has their own gatekeeper that they MUST kill.
Once everyone is over, clear out the enemies and progress.
Chest:
[spoiler] The chest is located after the bridge encounter with the gatekeepers, right after the gauntlet with the shriekers and before the drop to the summoning crystal.
There is a door on the opposite side of the hole where you drop down. You have to be fast in order to make it in before the door closes, but once you're in you can open it from the inside. I used Bladedancer and Vex Mythoclast with Lightweight and ran up to each of the invisible walls while my teammates killed the adds and Shriekers, double-jumped over the hole and slid into the door just as it was closing.

(Hallway with thralls and shriekers)
Just move down the hallway killing the shriekers and setting up titan bubbles to defend against the bombs that come out afterwards)
[b]STAGE 3[/b]
(This stage requires trial and error)
There will be two witches on opposite sides in the room above you where you come in.
You can draw them out and kill them as a team.
After the witches are dead there will be shriekers that you cannot damage until the witches are dead.
Kill the shriekers and then proceed to the main Witch.
YOU MUST KILL THE WITCH BEFORE The Liturgy ends!
[b]STAGE 4[/b]
Start the stage by activating the crystal.
Send one person out to grab the Chalice.
As a team go back to the underground doorway and defend the entrance.
Focus fire on the SwordBearer until the sword drops.
Send one person out to grab the sword and head towards Crota.
As he is heading to crota, the team needs to do enough damage to him to take down his shield and bring him to his knee!
The sword guy can get 2-3 swings on him while he is down if timed right. Run back to the underground passage.
Rinse and repeat.
IF THE CHALICE IS DROPPED OGRES WILL SPAWN. LATER NEAR HIS DEATH OGRES MAY SPAWN, RUN BACK TO THE END OF THE UNDERGROUND HALLWAY AND SNIPE THEM WITH ICE BREAKERS!
IF ONE PERSON DIES YOU WILL DIE IF YOU DONT KILL THE BIG GREEN EYE BEHIND HIM QUICKLY!
IF THE SWORD GUY IS LVL 31 IT GIVES A 50% DAMAGE INCREASE!

3 Respuestasat the deathsinger, i found out that there is a timer. you have exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds until the song starts. lets keep this up at the top!
-
just want to let you know you don't have to kill the gatekeepers... we kited them/stood on the pillars and they couldn't hit us while everyone ran across one by one just kill everything ranged, the door opens once everyone is across it saves a lot of wipes actually
-
5 RespuestasEditado por KingHTFD: 12/11/2014 4:00:44 AMStep 2 so wrong, get 3 or 4 people over to the other side, stand on temple. Gate keeper won't attack if you're facing him. KILL ONE OGRE AND ITS OVER. EVERYONE LIVES AND GETS RAID LOOT. DONE IT MUILTIPLE TIMES. none of that kill gatekeeper crap.
-
Ogres always spawn when Crota moves to the left, not if you drop the chalice.....
-
you dont have to kill the gatekeepers. get 3+ people over and the rest have to be warlocks and then they wipe. this will cause the ogres to spawn. kill both ogres and that part is finished.
-
You forgot about the hunger of crota (solar rocket ) and emblem, shader and ship
-
3 RespuestasFor those having trouble killing the Gatekeeper, just run up to him and mash Right Trigger only. He'll get stun locked if you time your attacks correctly. Do it too fast and he might not get stunned.
-
1 RespuestaKilling the gatekeepers are NOT NECESSARY. If your team can just avoid them while getting others across the bridge you can complete this checkpoint
-
The gate keeper part we had a titan run up first and kill gatekeeper. Then every other time that titan drops shield with helm of saint 14 on the middle pad to blind him. The sword carrier comes up and spams RB (XBOX ONE) and kills him with no worries. That's how we did it and it went ok.
-
1 RespuestaThanks man. Our team got to the Swoardbearers and across the bridge but when we had people on both sides it was chaos. Hope this will get us up to speed and we can complete the raid this week
-
2 RespuestasThere IS a second chest in the lamp room. Me and my team got it when exploring, i jumped onto a rock then onto a weird balcony thing. On that small balcony was a door just as the first chest has. I don't know what makes it spawn or if its another place for the first chest to move to. All i know is i got 2x Radiant Shards from it. Im going to search my vids now for proof. Im almost positive i recorded it.
-
1 RespuestaOgres spawn if someone dies. They also spawn when shield drops near enrage. Food for thought and best not to die. Red Death also regens health. Perfect for Crota
-
-
VoG raid. Normal. lvl 27+ to join.
-
At the deathsinger checkpoint can you kill the witches one by one then split up into 2 groups on 3 to kill the shriekers and converge on the desthsinger?
-
6 Respuestasi dont think the poster has actually beaten crota. my team noticed something last night. If you are constantly killing enemies, i think their souls prevent crota from summonig his oversoul. also, if you stay by the doorway out of the crystal room, 3 on each side, you can keep killing the boomer knights up top, if you dont, then the sword bearer will never live through wailing on crota in the smashes. Yes my team did beat crota with this method. Disclaimer, you can't prevent all oversouls from being summoned, but you can delay the times between
-
6 RespuestasWhen you say 2-3 swings do you mean standard melees or right trigger swings? We stopped last night and I never picked up the sword and now I'm 31 so I'll be expected to.

Added known loot

Awesome guide ! +1
-
Bump for finds
-
We just beat it
-
So no one has Crota's kill video? I though that one ought to spread like wildfire...
-
Damn! We were much closer to the end than I thought!
