Crota's End Raid: What Does It Mean in Game?
Crota's End is a raid in Destiny, initially released as part of the The Dark Below expansion. It takes place in the Hellmouth on the Moon, where players face off against Crota, Son of Oryx. This raid is known for its challenging mechanics and cooperative gameplay.
Overview
Crota's End is designed for a fireteam of six players and features multiple stages, each with unique mechanics and challenges. The goal is to defeat Crota and his Hive minions by navigating through complex environments and executing precise strategies.
Raid Stages
- The Abyss: The raid begins in a dark maze filled with Hive enemies. Guardians must navigate through the darkness while managing a debuff called Weight of Darkness that slows movement. Teamwork and communication are critical in this stage to reach the end safely.
- The Bridge: This stage requires players to construct a bridge by activating plates and defending against waves of enemies. Coordination is key as players must cross the bridge while maintaining control over the plates.
- Ir Yût, the Deathsinger: Before facing Crota, players must defeat Ir Yût, a powerful Hive wizard. Strategy involves silencing her song and eliminating her before a time limit expires.
- Crota, Son of Oryx: The final encounter with Crota involves a complex series of actions. Players must manage a Swordbearer to damage Crota while avoiding his attacks and controlling the battlefield against incoming enemies.
Strategies and Tips
- Communication: Effective communication is essential in coordinating movements and attacks, especially during the Bridge and Crota encounters.
- Loadouts: Equip weapons and gear optimized for Hive enemies, such as those with Arc damage to counter Hive shields.
- Team Roles: Assign specific roles to each team member, such as Swordbearer or plate defender, to ensure a smooth execution of strategies.
- Practice: Familiarize your team with each stage in Crota's End by practicing and learning from mistakes to improve efficiency and success rates.
