The Complete Raid Guide to Crota's End (in Destiny 2)

[@DattoDoesDestiny]

Apologies for some of the inaccuracies in the guide, only so much information to work with in the first day or so, but I think I got most of the things correct. Fixes: You do not need to Expunge Wizards to progress the Bridge encounter, things just move slow (like a lot of things in the raid). I don't think Expunging Ir Yut does anything other than provide some damage, but this is something my team did not bother to utilize at all. Any other notes, feel free to let me know. I edited this for 9-10 hours immediately after 12 hours of Destiny, so my brain is just now rebooting itself.

For Crota final stand my team was able to kill the 2nd oversoul. We got the clear but not the triumph. Wonder if that might be a contributing factor as to why so many teams aren't actually getting the triumph completed.

Love how chalice of light physically stops you from soloing it. Bungie was not even risking the chance for a solo clear

[@justphilitup]

Finally I can learn how to beat this raid, again.

[@jamerkel]

something to note, during Ir Yut, if there are two shriekers on 4/5 or 6/7 the shrieker radar circles don't completely overlap, so you can feasibly check if there are two shriekers on a side. If there is only one circle on a side, you can use the arrow overlayed on the shrieker radar circle to tell if it's top or bottom, and obviously no shrieker circles = 2 wizards

[@elliehugg]

Also note that since shriekers hang in the sky you'll want to check your radar from the top door/room, so that the bottom shriekers will show a downwards arrow. If you check from the bottom you'll always see an upwards arrow.

[@iMagikk]

For the sake of easiness bridge is MILES easier if you enlighten all but the last one before you start crossing. This removes the need of running chalice back and forth the whole time.

But it being compared to the hardest dungeon we've ever had IS still a compliment because before it was a glorified strike.

[@theta-rx2]

With the bridge encounter the way we did it was a bit different but we pretty much got 3 people over then they kept the bridge up for everyone else to eventually cross. It was nice because there really wasnt any crazy back and forth, it was a lot more straightforward. Cant remember all the details rn though, but it had something to do with everyone on the home side getting enlightened. Edit: Atp did the same thing that is definitely right. And yeah it was a lot easier to keep track of, but eventually there will be just one person on the home side and they need to get a sword on their own, so it can be a bit tough to survive. Another edit: for ir yut the expunge thing does not prevent the wipe, instead it functions like the explosion on golgoroth, dealing a large chunk of burst damage, and clearing enlightened. There is also a triumph for doing this in every damage phase. One last edit: Foetracer works really well for any damage as well (bungie actually disabled knicklehead radar, i think they said foetracer because the old perk got moved to knucklehead). It is basially a free 4x surge (5 with monochromatic). Really handy for squeezing out a lot of damage.

You can grab the Chalice for Ir Yut without starting the encounter by jumping on the wall and jumping towards the ceiling and grabbing it through the ceiling. You still need to go up and kill the shriekers, but It allows for a much smoother path to a first damage phase as it gives you a bit of extra time before the wipe mechanic auto kicks in. Highly recommend for teams that are getting overwhelmed. *I am not sure if enlightened Carrie’s over between phases. My team had a member get enlightened at the start, but couldn’t enter the doors during the second wizard killing phase.

[@StrikingIke386]

Enlightened does carry between phases, but it seems that becoming Enlightened mid-dps prevents you from entering the green doors. Probably a bug, but it's consistent between groups. Can still use it to expunge though.

I really miss how much fun it was just chilling with friends and playing, trying new strats to perfect our 100k Nightfall runs, going nuts when our newest teammate that just started playing got his Lunafaction boots so we could finally do the Cluster bomb 1 phase Riven fight. SO many memories playing this game, I really wish Bungie wouldn't have sent the game into the microtransaction toilet in the last year or two of its life, I'm really going to miss it and hope one day another game comes along that gives me the same kind of feeling Destiny 1 and 2 did.

I do know JB said they aren’t talking about it right now, which is of course fine. All in due time.

[@BetaMind]

For Ir Yut, my team used upper and lower left/right for the towers outside and close left/right for the areas right by the initial entrance. Middle was our call for directly above the crota crystal. You can use U/L/C to signify if upper lower or close with L/R/M for sides if you're having trouble remembering where they are in the heat of the moment. We had whoever got enlighten first prioritize the tower wizards as whoever got it last was most likely hiding in the halls under close and middle spots.

[@Leap623]

[@matthewevans3543]

I'll never do this but happy to support

[@Leap623]

One tip I do want to add for Crota: our group's biggest struggle was people dying randomly to getting shot by Crota. So I took a Stronghold Titan and kept his aggro and it really saved us a lot of hassle, and didn't cost us much since we were using Lament anyways. Some tips if you want to try that: 1. Crota's sword attack is arc, so you can triple dip into Arc Resist, Melee Resist, and Concussive Dampener. 2. The biggest threat to you is the very occasional time he'll physics launch you into a wall, so be very careful with your positioning. 3. Keeping him near the starting area helps make sure you don't get blasted by boomers when they spawn, but you do need to be careful when turning him around due to the occasional physics launch. 4. While having sources of healing is nice (he'll eventually whittle you down after maybe 80 slams or so), you can also back into the room you start in. If he's close enough, he'll sword lunge through, get stuck in there, and have to teleport out. If he has some distance, he'll back off slowly and start shooting his ranged attack at you. For some reason I was actually able to start natural health regen through being hit by his ranged attack, I think maybe it dealt so little damage that it didn't count towards stopping health regen. So either way, it's a decent source of brief safety if you need to heal, and makes this doable on any Titan subclass. 5. You'll need to coordinate with your team on when to grab ammo each phase, my group usually had me go grab it after killing the boomer knights and when the ogres were spawning, as long as there wasn't a chalice trade happening in easy line of sight of Crota.

Me my clan and a couple of teachers beat the full raid and it was my first complete crota raid, I was super happy and I fully understand it now. It wasn’t that bad pretty proud of myself and I understand the mechanics and encounters well. I had the crota armor already from just the first couple encounters and I got my clan together and some people that gave us leadership through the raid and so happy I cleared the raid finally😊 got good weapons too and the emblem can’t wait til next week to do the raid for the weapons again and get more clears under my belt and practice the raid over and over and master it. Surprisingly easy we two fazed ir ut but the bridge encounter took the longest as my clan mates were pretty confused! Crota wasn’t that hard either.😅 number 1 thing that helped is assign a order of which players will be getting the chalice from eachother and who will dunk the chalice and keep updated on eachother on call outs so you can help guide your teammates to focus on the next step of completing the encounter. Pretty simple raid it may seem complex to inexperienced players. 😅

[@nickjbank5839]

My team had a babysitter (me) wearing Stronghold gauntlets and aggro-ing Crota so that Crota was never a factor in causing a wipe. I just blocked his attacks and when damage came up I used burning maul to stunlock Crota for most of the damage phase. Now that contest mode is off, I'm not sure if this step is necessary anymore. However, it is great for positioning the boss away from other enemies to reduce incoming sources of damage and allow for everyone to group together before damage begins.

My team uses one person on wishender to scout. You literally only have to be on top of stairs to see tower shrieker/witch on left or right side. You just have to sweep the rooms left to right up and down. One tip is aim the wishender where the shrieker spawns, if you don’t see it that means a witch is in there moving around.
