We've just had one attempt on Crota so far. Going for the cheese method. Neither hunter (me and Brocky) has sword experience so this'll be fun.

Cheesing the health? Good luck, that fight is easier than I thought, just need to get the timing right.
 
Got the helm for the hunter tonight, looks the business! I have all 4 pieces now so just need about 30 shards.

If you guys still need help later in the week I can help.

Where did it drop? I finished the raid and I didn't get it.
 
That's good to hear that people are getting good drops from the raid. Apparently they said they'd monitor if someone got a good drop or not and even it out on the raids. I have done 4 Nightfalls, 4 weeklies, and countless strikes on the playlist over the past few days and received useless crap like coins with only one exotic helmet being a good drop (though I won't be using it).

I haven't done the new raid yet, I concentrated on getting my Titan to 31 and Warlock to 30 so it just has to level the new armour (plus I leveled their subclasses). I've been playing it too much though so will come back to it in a few days. Hopefully it is easier to get to level 32.

It is easier to get the gear but shards will be an issue this time, very few drop. You're doing the right thing getting to 31 though, the raid gets pretty hard later on.
 
By the way, I've just read that Crota can be cheesed- is this correct?

The warlock cheese that beats the bridge also negates the precence of Crota as well.
There is two that I know of. The warlock revive one that stops the precence of crota and another one where you can duplicate the chalice (can end up with five of them). Second one looks more useful as it appears to be fairly quick.

You basically just have three people spamming square to take the chalice of each other and it eventually breaks into two.
 
Seems there is a third major one now as well. If your host changes characters when crota kneels down, apparently he doesn't get back up.
 

You don't need one.

As soon as Crota is down on one knee, the host goes to the log out/change character screen and hits change character.

Crota doesn't get back up.
You just quickly rejoin the fire team and bam, he is beaten in 2 swords.
 
Jesus christ, how do people keep finding these things out? :lol:

Completed my first raid, got the machine gun that breaks through the shield.

Also got the chest piece for my Warlock, so now I can go to 32 on those two characters as soon as I get the radiant shards :D

Crota. We did 3 raids and only me and 1 other dropped it so its quite rear it seems. 1 of us got the ship as well, lucky git.

That's ridiculous :lol: Shame really as most people will now revert to doing it that way, but I guess they are stupid for not testing these things out.

So Crota just stays down on one knee right through?

Good stuff, we should be able to complete last night's raid and start another one on alts then.

seems that way. Will find out in a while, when me and tom get there
 
Thanks for the quick guide on the Crota chest @Anustart89, I managed to come away with this lovely thing:
