Destiny: Watch Crota's End Beaten on Hard by One Player

The Dark Below's raid is conquered on Heroic mode by one level 32 player in less than half an hour!

71 Comments

Less than a month after Hard Mode was introduced for the Crota's End raid in Destiny, one player has managed to beat it -- all by himself.

This latest feat of strength in Destiny is documented in the 26-minute video above, which shows player sc Slayerage going through what he describes as an "insanely difficult" run. He did it using a level 32 Sunsinger Warlock on a friend's account that was outfitted with a variety of high-end items, and it makes use of a heavy ammo glitch.

The actual Crota fight doesn't begin until the 16:30 mark of the video and lasts for just over nine minutes. Expect to hold your breath throughout much of it.

It's a supremely impressive accomplishment, and one that's sure to make you feel bad next time you fail with a full group.

Crota's End is the raid introduced in The Dark Below expansion. For more, check out our review.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I really enjoy there PVP in Destiny. Did you give it a proper try? I still think the PvE parts of the game is okay, but it can feel repetitive since there's not that much content in the game (yet). Anyway, I still thinks unfair to call this ”the worst game ever”. It's not that bad at all.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I just checked your profile novaprime1985 and you are actually 8 trophies away form platinum. Why boast about how much you've played if you can't back it up?


and star-affinity I couldn't agree more. These people can't seem to understand that coming onto a games page or a topic about it also shows that they have an interest in it. Why come here in the first place if that wasn't the case. I don't think Destiny is the most amazing game by any shot but it gave me many a happy hour with my friends and is probably the game I played most in 2014. I think that statement is voluminous in itself.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> ok, 8 left out of what 50? wow such a monumental difference from when i said 3-5 remaining (obviously i havent checked my profile in quite some time to not know that specifically)

I digress, i still invested a great deal of time & energy with in it, thus my opinion has merit whether you like to admit it or not

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> How the devil am I a zealot? Get that aggression under control for crying out loud. Yes, I have played Destiny and came here, to all intent and purpose to look up a video which I have an interest in. Yes, I played Destiny but I don't play currently and won't until the new DLC comes. What is stranger than me saying these things is someone coming on to a post about a game only to slag a it off;


Zealotry (and I am no zealot) or trolling.Now which do you think is worse???

So he used another person's account as well as a heavy ammo glitch? I guess double cheating gets a pass these days.

<< LINK REMOVED >>These days? It's ALWAYS been that way. Nerds with low self-esteem relying on in-game "eliteness" to boost their feelings of self worth will find any way possible to cheat and then deny they did so while they try to lord it over everyone else that they got the best gearz or already did the hardest bosses. Just look at WoW in terms of that kind of behavior and you have most of the e-peen waving "leet" gaming community fully explained.

Well, of course he had to beat it solo, no one else plays any more.

This isn't, strictly speaking, a solo run at all. To change character between stages does not a solo make. Still impressive nonetheless but not a solo effort for me.
