So because I wanted to know what I'm letting myself in for, and because I hate the idea of burning through sh1t-loads of heavy synths and still not beating Crota (they may be 5 to 1SC but that's still a hard-won SC going up in smoke for every 5 I use!) I read up a bit on HM tactics. Obviously don't reveal the spoilers if you don't already know what to expect and want to be surprised (pleasantly or otherwise)! [spoiler]Seeing a lot of people recommending sending two people to Crota, one being a Titan with a bubble, and basically leaving the boomers alone because killing them spawns a wizard (rather than the usual bridge knight). So the Titan drops a bubble on the edge of the Crota platform to shield the swordbearer from the Boomers and then backs off back to the main group.[/spoiler] [spoiler]I wasn't aware of this, but apparently once you get Crota down to about 10% health he summons a d@mn oversoul, and will continue to do so from then on until you kill him. Lots of people recommending ignoring the oversoul altogether if possible and just try and wipe Crota before you die, which seems a bit nuts to me!...[/spoiler] [spoiler]And the other thing I'm seeing quite a lot of is that people are running the Crota battle from the little ledges outside the Crystal room (the ledges above the door to the room where you hide when the ogres spawn).[/spoiler] Don't know what some of the experienced HM peeps think about any of the above. Are we "speshul" on Eurogamer and do things differently? :)
