Starting the Encounter[edit]
- Stand nearby the Crystal in the center of the chamber to begin the encounter.
- You are immediately affected by the Presence of Crota when the encounter begins
- Semi-permeable barriers appear on the sides of the chamber with a number of Hive Knights and Thralls here.
- Defeat them and you can break out into the arena itself.
- The fireteam needs to split between the two sides and clear out the adds here.
- After fighting your way to the main part of the court, a few need to head for the Chalice of Light, sitting just below the main arch of the throne.
Get the Sword[edit]
- To claim the sword, you will need to be Enlightened, and this mechanics gets a revamp in this location.
- There are random parts of the Arena that have a manifested field of Light.
- You can only exchange the Chalice of Light in these areas!
- Getting the sword has a few steps to it.
- First, you will need to defeat 2 Revenant Ogres or Revenant Wizards.
- Defeating them will draw out the Swordbearer.
- Collect the Hive Cleaver from the Swordbearer and then its time to make a run on Crota.
- If possible, have a fellow fireteam member hit Crota, Son of Oryx with a debuff from Tractor Cannon to augment the sword damage, bringing down his shield sooner.
- Having support in the form of a Healing Rift or Grenade is highly recommended because Crota can do massive damage with his cleaver.
- It's suggested to do Light Attack (to close the distance and some damage), then Heavy Attacks, followed by using your Sword Super.
- This leads into the Damage Phase.
Damage Phase[edit]
- This is a very careful management phase as well.
- Once the Shield drops from the Hive Cleaver, you need to focus your fire on Crota.
- But the hard part is the Oversoul, but someone needs to damage it and ultimately destroy it before the Oversoul timer runs out (and wipes the team).
- You can move in and activate Expunge, which is available if you are Enlightened.
- Doing the Expunge will augment damage.
- Activating Expunge requires a Guardian with Enlightened approaching and interacting with Crota, Son of Oryx.
- In Crota's health bar, there's a line toward the end of it.
- When you get his health to this point or beyond, you'll trigger his final stand.
The Oversoul[edit]
- The Orb in the back will open up to damage.
- Destroying the Oversoul will restore the Shield on Crota, ending the Damage Phase.
- You can only damage the Oversoul if you have Enlightened.
Depositing the Chalice[edit]
- If you need to deposit the Chalice of Light there is a place to do that for this encounter.
- If you go back to where you entered this area, there is a repository for it.
The Final Stand[edit]
- In Crota's health bar, there's a line toward the end of it.
- When you get his health to this point or beyond, you'll trigger his final stand.
- His Overshield will come up for just a few seconds before faded down again.
- Cut damage immediately during this time, but be ready to resume IMMEDIATELY when the Overshield goes back down.
- The real challenge here is going to be the pair of Oversouls that he'll be summoning in.
- The first one can be destroyed, the second one is questionable.
- Crota's Shield won't be restored, but it remains only someone with Enlightened can destroy the Oversoul and then it's consumed.
- You have to kill him before the Oversoul detonates or it's a wipe.
- Get through this health and you will have beaten Crota's End./
