Crota’s End: Crota

Recommended Videos

You have waded through waves of enemies in the darkest tunnels of the moon. You have defeated the gatekeepers and laid to rest the ogres that blocked your path. You have even defeated Ir Yut and escaped the grasp of her death song. You are now ready to face Crota, Son of Oryx, and further the legend you’ve worked so hard on.

There are a few things that you need to be aware of before you take down Crota and claim your prizes. The first is the Presence of Crota effect that takes place immediately after summoning Crota. This makes it impossible to heal unless you are holding the chalice of light. Then you need to beware of the oversoul, a huge ball of light that appears whenever a team member is downed. You must destroy it as quickly as possible or else your entire fireteam gets wiped out. Next are the sword bearers, hive knights that will try and take you out in one hit, and ogres. Once you have these facts down you are ready.

To get things started, everyone in your fireteam must touch the large stone in the center of the room were you killed Ir Yut, the Deathsinger. Everyone must touch the stone at the same time so make sure not to wander away. Once that is done, you need to eliminate all of the enemies trying to enter the room. This isn’t too difficult just be sure not to die outside the room. As long as your still in the room, no oversoul will appear.

Once done, you must decide on your appointed sword carrier and send them to get the chalice of light. This item will negate the presence of Crota effect and allow for whoever carries it to heal. You will want your sword carrier to be the highest level on your team and to make matters even easier you’ll want them to be your fastest. As that teammate takes care of that, everyone else should move to the left doorway.

At this point you will assign one or two members of your fireteam to sniping duty in order to take care of the hive knights on the high platform. The rest of your team will handle the thrall and sword bearer. Once the sword bearer is down, your entire fireteam will shift focus onto Crota in order to take down his shield as fast as possible. As soon as the shield is down your sword carrier can spam the heavy attack until Crota begins to rise.

Now, here is where you have a very valuable opportunity. You can actually bring down Crota’s shield a second time before the sword expires as long as you work on your timing and communication with the fireteam. A tip that tends to work more often than not is to use your primary weapons to take down the first shield, then your heavy weapons to rapidly take down the second one in order to get some much needed extra damage.

If done right you can take down a third of Crota’s health in one sword carry easily. This will enable you and your fireteam to defeat Crota in only three carries. If you’re unable to, don’t worry, you should still manage to claim victory within four carries. All you have to do is repeat the same process you did for the first carry.

Be aware that for every two sword bearers you kill, there will be a wave of ogres. This may seem like a big problem but you need only go into the room under where you started the Crota fight. Stay in there in order to keep covered and avoid a oversoul incident. After this wave, just return to the upper platform and continue your assault.

Before you know it you will defeat Crota; it is really that simple. Managing this fight without dying is much easier than it seems, and the final fight is deceptively easy as long as you don’t panic or go lone wolf in the middle of the fight. All of your teamwork has paid off and you have extended your legend.
