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.

Bump to this! Need Bungie to see all of these so the hard mode in January is a true hard mode raid.
-
How about the sword not dropping glitch? I'd rather they fix things that effect doing it right than fix some stupid exploits like these. Who cares if you can self res and start the phase. No one but you, apparently. I want the damn sword to drop every time I kill a sword bearer. That enrage timer is a bitch.
-
Here is a fix.. BUNGIE scrap the game give me my money back.. It's apparent you guys just made a good looking game and that's about it.. Anybody can design polished crap..
-
A common one I have encountered is the sword disappearing from grasp. Or not actually picking it up.
-
Crota is way easier than VoG though. Let the bugs be bugs and scrubs be scrubs

"This one requires MUCH more communication and punishes you harder for mistakes." How I wish the groups I've gotten with realized this. I always get people that have terrible strategies and talk about random other things during. They get distracted to easy. No focus, i mean its like they just jumped in thinkin oh cool a new guy to fight this will be fun. Yet have no idea the work that actually goes into it. I've seen it done time after time in semi different ways, and it could be quite simple and quick once you get it down. But man do you need the right team.. You can't carry people like in VoG hard anymore haha

Lol this is said after he gained all the benifit from it lol
-
Lol what a bitch!! Get on bungies dick a little more you crybaby!
-
I'm kind of mad at you, but also grateful. I know these glitches, but don't use them because my raid group makes everything easy. Some of these glitches are also stupid and show how bad you are if you need them. Like the chalice duplicate. If you can't avoid damage or remember to share the chalice then give it back to the sword bearer then you deserve to be stuck on the raid.
-
Don't care, beat it legit already.
-
Glitches are when stuff doesn't work properly like the sword guy not dropping the sword. You act like these are things we need changed. STFU and let ppl play the way they want. Your also missing at least 2 massive EXPLOITS on your list. But I'm not putting them here so you can spoil all the speed running fun.
-
It is also possible for the chalice to disappear, as happened to my group. Our sword bearer got swatted out of the air by Crota and we frantically searched to find the chalice, only to have it not be found. We beat it on that run without it, but it made it more difficult.

Snitcher stop snitching!
-
It wouldn't be a Bungie raid without the glitches. (^^,) Like that one random Knight whos snapped and refuses to take stick from no one and will charge for the team right through the barrier.
-
Finally finished Crota last night for the first time, took til I got into my third group for communication and chemistry to work properly as well as the timing of it, it's not that this Raid is hard to begin with that someone needs to cheese it. It just requires good communication among teammates and maybe some patience and persistence while working out the timing and communication. It was much more rewarding, to me at least, finishing this raid than finishing off VOG the first time.
-
Honestly I only run it with about 10 people. In my clan of course but it's not that hard. We got to Crota in less than two hours as soon as the DLC came out. Then Crota kicked our ass as 30's. We don't glitch because we have such good chemistry and that stuff will be patched. Where will the "glitchers" be left? Either dead, kicked out of the Fireteam, or not getting invited at all.

If you're using self res for crota you are a pussy. It's okay for everything but Crota, use your nova bombs with 3 projectiles to take out big groups.
-
There's a glitch where the guy holding the Chalice quits and the team that's left has no Chalice.. Total wipe!
-
Edited by BloodSnowFlake: 12/15/2014 2:25:42 PMHell yeah . I support this. A raid should need good players. Not allow scrub ass mother -blam!-ers to glitch the shit
-
Dawg dafuq is wrong with you snitching. Lol
-
Cheese time
