The point of this thread is to make aware of all known current glitches possible in the new DLC raid crota's end. The reason I am posting this information is because I want crota's end to be a true raid. It already has the potential to be a better raid then VoG. This one requires MUCH more communication and punishes you harder for mistakes. I want everyone who gets the loot from the raid to feel like they earned it. Instead of the quality being deminished because people just cheesed it.
First glitch: It is possible to cheese the second part with the totems and the big bridge. One way is to use a warlock fireborn at the last second when everyone else is dead. This despawns all enemies besides the sword knight. The warlock will then res everyone else. This glitch allows you to spawn the enemies needed to shoot on the other side to trigger the rewards/checkpoint. Here is a video for proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcAlHQrliRs
It is also possible to cross the bridge VIA launching yourself from a totem and sword dancing across. As long as you don't sword dance near the bridge the "swordless bane" debuff won't happen. You can also do this with the knights sword with the other classes. Video with proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nogrAjKwYHY
Another bridge glitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du8cjhq6I3M&feature=youtu.be
Glitch 3: Crota's end crota boss fight. It's called the "forever kneeling" glitch. Basically you have the host of the game leave while crota is going down. For whatever reason this makes Crota stay in his downed state until he is killed. You can re invite the host back to the game so he can receive the loot. Video link with proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjqU6OzGzNU
Second glitch: This involves the last part of the raid. Fighting crota. There is 2 ways to get around the no health regen. The first involves a sunsinger resing after everyone else dies before the timer runs out. Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH_Lxd79Ous
The second method involves dupping the chalice. You can have up to five so someone with be without. Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkr9g5IuG5U
Easy bridge glitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H4B0bxyYS0
Easy solo abyss glitch: this video is a compilation. But I grabbed it to show you how to easily solo the beginning area in the raid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIYWFAtr4sE
I did not include the 2 spots for getting out and on top of crota's end because I don't see any potential harm with either. The only harm I could see is if you could somehow make it back far enough to the door that has the second chest and get inside. If That is possible and I find a video i'll post. Until then these are the only glitches I am aware of. And yes If my team struggles with any of these parts we will glitch. I encourage everyone else to do so as well. The more publicity these glitches get the faster they can be fixed.
I'm pretty sure the reason hard mode is not possible for a month is so they have ample time to fix any exploit. Neither they nor many others want another Vex mythoclast incident. So spread the word and glitch away. Lets make this raid truly hard.
EDIT: It appears my thread went from being helpful to being trash talking. I was merely trying to be helpful. I wasn't trying to state that the bugs are any less important then the exploits. I'm making this edit for 2 things. One to state that me not playing the raid yet doesn't change anything. And that 2 because of request I will re edit this post later on if it's still around to ALSO show the current known bugs. Feel free to make a neat list for me to copy and paste. Oh and if you are just going to flame me i'm ignoring and reporting from here on out. Have a wonderful day.
EDIT 2. Here is a list of known bugs currently in Crota's end. Thanks to those who posted them here for me.
CROTA'S END BUGS: -crota will occasionally jump down to the first level from his platform
-crota will sometimes stand back up as soon as he kneels in one sweet motion of sword carrier death
-knights will give 0 fvcks about that barrier while crota spawns
-sometimes there is a gatekeeper on the 3rd level (right above where you spawn)
-sometimes the sword disappears when you try to pick it up
-sometimes the over soul will be banished then 2 seconds later kills everyone
-ogres sometimes spawn after the first sword is used (they are supposed to come after 2 swords)
-Experienced crota regen shields while being shot
-Crota not dropping when shields are gone
-Picking up the sword on the Crota fight and having it completely disappear
-a Knight walking through the invisible wall at the start of the fight
-The ir yut part, there's been a few times when the shriekers wouldn't spawn.
-Swordbearer does not drop sword upon death
-Minor glitch but on the second phase when building the bridge it says the bridge is complete, when it is not, it completes a few seconds later.
Sorry If I missed any. Will update OP with more bugs or exploits as time goes by. Big thanks for everyone who actually didn't flame me or make harsh assumptions of me and stayed on topic. Nice to see this community still has a nice side.
edit 3: Added a new exploit to the list.
Edit 4: Added 2 new exploits.
EDIT 5: Added another way to handle the bridge via exploit. It's under the first glitch section.

What about the one where you stand next to second lamp on the certain rock and it blows you all the way to bridge lamp? Forgot that one
-
There's a bug I ran into once where my team and I killed Ir Yüt while she was doing liturgy of ruin but the debuff kept counting down and it wiped us
-
WO - you wrote a glitch book on crota!! Thanks for letting every one know how to cheat. Now more people will exploit free shit.
-
Since the good number of this is patched, you should change the title and focus on the bugs
-
bump... @Bungie fix this quickly and release hard mode already :)

Edited by Marcello101 (TIMELOST): 1/6/2015 5:04:06 AMI'm not sure if you mentioned it but there is a second easier way to cheese the bridge part. Don't activate the totems and just enter the room the sword bearer comes from. At the back of the room, there are two huge boxes. Everyone in the fireteam just needs to jump on top of these boxes. And the enemies will all de-spawn and you can start killing everyone across the way immediately. No self ress needed. I originally forgot to mention you have to activate the plate first. Then go into the sword bearer room. Anyways. Just watch the video.

Edited by m00ninite: 1/6/2015 4:49:02 AMNice compilation. I hope they definitely make Hard mode a nightmare haha. Knowing there is a way to glitch around something I think takes peoples' motivation away. Things like a Hunter using stealth to solo lanterns is just great gameplay, but let's not kid ourselves that the kneeling glitch should exist. Fingers crossed Bungie makes Hard mode and all consecutive raids increasingly challenging. You don't see raid teams glitching their way to loot in a WoW raid.

Edited by Truedog: 1/6/2015 5:15:22 AMProps to Mongrel for actually replying to almost everyone who commented.. This whole thing is such a waste of everyone's time. But props (+,-)

1st VOG will always be better than Croats end although it's still good 2nd shut up Meg
-
-blam!-ing lol at people trying to blame bugs in Crotas end for glitching. They -blam!-ing hardly ever happen. Just admit you're a lazy -blam!- with no skill and we can move on
-
Best friend just got his full set of raid gear from cheesing... He likes cheesing I like doing it legit... Do I care??? no not at all.. I just remind myself it's a f* **ing video game and all this talk of doing things "honorably" and "earning" is just sad.... It's not real life people...
-
Skills?? Disconnect at the right moment that's still counts as a skill too lol
-
Stopped reading when you said. ..."it has the potential to be better than the vault of glass" Never will be.
-
From what I gather in bungie terms and conditions you can get banned for discussing this in depth
-
Buddy what's missing your life to the extent that feel the need to control how I pass my free time. How I play my video game has absolutely nothing to do with you. These evangelical posts about 'cheesing' vs legitimate completions are utterly pathetic. I really don't care how you play your game pal, find a group of like minded individuals and play your way. But, please stop trying to influence changes to the current game to suit you and your preferences.
-
As far as the ogre rock goes I think it was purposefuly placed their. What better challenge than to find the small things that make soloing it possible. Just a theory.
-
I would also be happy if crap kids don't get their hands on the hard raid weapons. They don't deserve it if they have to be carried or cheese it.
-
I can't stand this cheesing crap, I just did a raid with my friend and we did the first part legit, so I'm thinking, ok were going to run this through, and as soon as we get to the bridge, "let's just cheese this and get past it". Whatever it's 1am, and I'm outnumbered, I'll give, but as soon as we get done sniping ogres from where they can't see us and getting the chest, I hear "I have the crota checkpoint, let's just skip the deathsinger", I personally like that fight but was outnumbered again and it was late and it had already taken forever to find a group. But then when we got to Crota and people started saying we need to drop him to his knee and the party leader disconnects, I just got mad. After failing because no one knew how to do it (ps4), I suggested to do it normal and there were 2 people who had been through the raid multiple times but never beat crota legit. I understand there are glitches that should absolutely be fixed, but first there needs to be a patch that makes people know how to do this, I have never been this frustrated with a video game. Me and a few friends found a great team yesterday and beat it in just under 33 minutes no cheesing at all. It can be done, people just want easy rewards, and soon it will be the vault of glass all over again, everyone has the gear so it means nothing, and when all the crap gets patched you won't be able to find a team that can complete it.
-
Go real life guys, it´s truly hard.
-
I hope Bungie patches all of this by the time the Hard Raid releases. I want to see everyone cry over how difficult and "time consuming" it is cause they don't have their baby bumper exploits.

-
Keep this up ^^ (seriously i appreciate it :p im grtting annoyed of people who glitch it :P. I'll be sure to bump so bungie will see it (hopefully)

Edited by blazinsince92: 1/5/2015 7:35:59 PMThank you @MongrelShadow14

So I did the CE raid today and beat crota, but did not get any reward at all. No shards of anything. I looked on the forums and saw that this has happened to other people too. Will you please add this to your list? Im not sure at all why I wouldn't get any rewards.

Edited by girflush: 1/8/2015 7:05:10 AMThis raid is so broken with the glitches it is honestly a trainwreck. I don't even know if they can recover it really. We'll see what they say about the next update. Might be best just to move on to house of wolves and make sure to get that right. I mean I was in a group today who couldn't even get past the 2 left and right set of vog confluxes so they quit to do CE and knew how to cheese all the way. SMH. I am seeking out only legit groups from now on or else I just can't be bothered to play it. Exploiting the game is basically not playing it anyways..

Aaaaand you're a virgin.
