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.

Thank you for posting this! It should make the raids go by a lot faster for the next couple weeks, at least until Bungie patches it. Nice noble post and everything, but Bungie already knows about all this stuff; they've stated that they play alongside the community to find such "cheesy ways" and a simple Google or Youtube search wouldn't hurt them either.
-
I agree with you homie don't pay attention to these scrubs that need glitches to beat the raid , there's also a way that you don't need chalice at all, just kill everything on left and right door except one knight , everybody die warlock selfres. And picks up everybody , bam no debuff of being in presence of Crota
-
Keep up the good work! What's the point of completing easy raids, this is the hardest part of the same and it should stay that way.

Edited by hexxem: 12/16/2014 6:16:16 AMI'd rather Bungie fix their raid glitches than our cheese spots. That's just me.
-
What a noble post :) I'm still gonna cheese the Presence of Crota lol. Hopefully it gets a fast fix.

Edited by cupandsaucertq: 12/16/2014 7:00:54 AMplz fix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRqAZ6THzug&feature=youtu.be

someone put this kids teeth on a curb and kick his face in. -blam!-ing fat nerd lol
-
Yes I agree plz fix this
-
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-
dont post too many cheeses or glitches because when they are all patched bungie would then release hard mode so the no one can cheese to get the necrochasm just like how heaps of people got vex just by pushing athoen off.
-
Smoke weed everyday
-
And this is why bungie was smart enough to release hard mode a month later. And only drop special and heavy weapons.
-
Wow...
-
Fine by me, i completed the raid 3 times with no cheats. But before patching crota´s end, they should fix all the bugs in VoG. They had 3 months to do it and nothing happened
-
Edited by Abaddons_Demise_: 12/16/2014 3:47:22 AMMost likely the exploits will be fixed but the bugs (more important imo) will not be fixed. VOG has so many bugs but all the exploits have been fixed and (again imo) the bugs should be top priority. So far there are a few bugs I have noticed in crotas end that cause a wipe and should be taken care of first. The two most imprortant ones are when the sword disappears when you pick it up or when the chalice disappears after someone goes down while holding it.
-
Yes, patch the bridge. EASY FIX: Make it so that 6 Gatekeepers must die BEFORE the Wizard and Ogres Spawn. Make it so that if the sword drops it disappears.
-
Picking up the sword on the Crota fight and having it completely disappear And a Knight walking through the invisible wall at the start of the fight Only ones I've seen so far.
-
The ir yut part, there's been a few times when the shriekers wouldn't spawn.

I agree, patch cheese, please, and do it fast, before everyone just glitches their way to victory.
-
I didn't know that when I bought this game from Best Buy they gave me a pamphlet on the correct way to play Destiny. Bite me dude, don't you worry about how I play a video game alright?
-
Swordbearer does not drop sword upon death. Had it several times.
-
The more they implement patches for this game the more stuff they mess up in the process. Ends up being worse off than it was to begin with.
-
K so You just posted all the glitches now everyone going to do them now before they update making betting crota less of a success Thanks for ruining this raid even more.
