Got my husk of the pit last night by killing a blade of crota on the moon. Looks cool.

 

[robertsan21]

It appears so.

sounds easy enough, gonna have to try it

 

[Izuna]

Husk of Pit has it PS2 model for some reason.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Holy moly. How can people playing IB and high levels still not know how to play control zones :/

 

[raindoc]

250 points missing for Eris rank 3. Tried to do the double-bounties trick, but a Weasel said no.

Grind doesn't always equate to learned experience.

I have a theory that many of the players in pvp are poorly coded AI constructs built to pad out a game mode that any sane person would leave behind after a few tries.

Aside from us (and we're are clearly mad), I can't see why anyone would want to put themselves through crucible.

 

[toastyToast]

I just tried black hammer on Devils Lair for the no death bounty. Good gravy!

 

[panda-zebra]

So to get the Eidolon Ally to transform into the Nechrochasm it requires a Crux of Crota exotic item for the last bubble - is this likely to be a Crota drop in the raid? To effectively make the Necrochasm a normal or hard Crota drop?

It'll be a hard drop.

 

[Schwabe]

there was some sort of stealth update for the Destiny Companion App (iOS). Missing Grimoire-Cards are there now and loot-drop indicators for Crota's End ... so it seems it really is only 3 drops on the moon (why the hell did they put the Deathsinger in there?) and the hard mode indeed will be lvl 33 ...

Spoiler

i still hate it to have the App in german ... and yes ... i didn't kill Crota yesterday :'(

CRUX OF CROTA

Materials / Material

Their god is now our power.

Obtained only by defeating the son of Oryx and heir to the Osmium Throne in the Raid's most difficult mode.

It also seems like you need radiant energy, rather than ascendant to fully upgrade Eidolon Ally.

 

[TP-DK]

Finally! Got Husk of the pit. Took 80 min, where most of them was spend looking at the loading screen. I danced right before killing the Knight that dropped it, so perhaps that helps ;-)

 

[Rixa]

Aside from us (and we're are clearly mad), I can't see why anyone would want to put themselves through crucible.

I have 2 bounties (Thorn & BJuju), not sure if I want to pvp them or just discard. Before yesterday I didnt have good Hand Cannon (except Lord High Fixer).

Now that I have 2 great HC's (new TLW and old Fatebringer). Iam thinking to abandon those 2 exotic bounties. PVP is not for me.

Oh, hard will be level 33... hmmm... getting this nechrochasm might be quite a challenge then.

 

[Midas]

Yeah, it won't be easy. I will get nightmares thinking about the first part at level 33.

 

[Steroyd]

Apparently, you need an item called Crux of Crota to upgrade it to the exotic. Which is only obtainable in the hard mode raid.

Crap, hope you just have to beat him and it's not RNG based aaawww who am I kidding, at least I'll get to hold the baby version of it and dream.

Mine asys ass energy for 1 and 2 bubles, crux for 3rd

psn: legoman-D

My friend just spent over 2 hours doing earth story to get the husk drop... he' s now got to go kill 500 hive for the XP to level it and wait for tomorrow to rank Eris to 3.

Ah, that's good. It said radiant on Planet Destiny.

Looks like we made it!~ Only took an hour, not bad.

Can´t find the missions page in the app - where is it?

EDIT: Found it.

 

[Straid]

Is it possible to repeat the fist of crota? Because i did it the first day the dlc came out.

Yes.

Yes.

How? I don't see it on the map.

 

[Shito]

Bungie's website also updated to include those same changes in the "Legend" tab.

Added a replayable node to the Director for the ‘Fist of Crota' mission

 

[ocean]

I think it'll require spamming blind grenades and blind bubbles to calm those Thrall down. At 31, even two of them hanging up can melee you to death real quick and with no revive...it'll be interesting.

 

[Captain Smirk]

What is the verdict on Dragon's Breath then since I got one last night?

 

[Straid]

Great! Thanks!

Hang on... you have to collect those kills before you get that orb from Eris?
I thought it was the other way around?

 

[panda-zebra]

you just need 500x20xp or equivalent vs hive, he did that waking hive but took less than 500 kills as he took out the yellows worth 35xp, did in under 400 kills iirc

 

[Bogeypop]

A second Exotic Bounty in less than 3 days or so it feels like. Haven't even finished my Bad Juju bounty. Game must want me to have a heart-attack from PvP frustration.

 

[Nuszka]

Radiants , radiants everywhere ... Rngesus was not with my on this one.
Edit: ok taking it back , just got Husk of the pit, so its not so bad after all.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Need 4 for Crota raid. We want to do the first two parts of the raid twice. We will not be doing crota

I've been wondering about the best weapons loadout for that part. LMGs > Rocket launchers obviously. Shotties could serve as a "panic button", but with that reload time? Probably better of packing a FR.
Primaries... I personally like the Vex for that part, but what else?
Fatebringer's head-explosion trick is nice when a group's coming at you, but is it still a usefull gun if things start getting hectic in close quarters?
Other handcannons or scout rifles you'd want to use? i can't think of any - their rate of fire seems too low IMHO and will result in getting swarmed...
Atheon's Epilogue & co have a high rof and nice big magazines to keep up a continuous damage output, but is that really important when damage is minimal and there's no staggering-effect?

 

[noomi]

Pretty frustrating experience with Crota last night, after having a smooth raid with fellow gaffer, I tried reddit and destinylfg to find a group for my alt. Man... so hard to find good players

Gaf, I hate raiding without you.

Just need to down Crota on my alt, if anyone is interested, I'll be on later in the day.

I'd be down to try again. Our first run was ultra smooth. Fresh or Crota, my Warlock hasn't cleared any stage

 

[Ambitious]

Finally got the Husk. But hitting rank 3 with Eris in order to buy the Embalming Orb might take a while.

Fatebringer is the Exploder of Thralls. But 300 attack would be a bigger handicap against level 33s, so I guess either Mythoclast or a primary with Firefly. Secondary I guess a really fast charging Fusion Rifle. Heavy the baddest machine gun I have by that point.

But yeah I think it'll be a way different encounter when those enemies are all stronger than we are at 33.

I find The Last Word pretty good in the first phase, it has high rof and quick reload. Bad Juju is great too.

 

[Ambitious]

Wait, Eris' rank needs to be at level 4 in order to swap radiant energy for shards? That's some bullshit.

Is there a list somewhere with weapons that have firefly? I think I need to max my Crota's End machine gun for hard mode.

[X-Frame]

Just remember that I got No Land Beyond from the CE chest last night.

Too bad it seems to be the worst exotic gun in the game.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Did they boost raid weapon attack? Pretty sure my Crota launcher was at 306, now it's at 318.

They all start at 300 now.

Oh okay, thanks. Also, can I do Fist of Crota mission on normal 24 for the husk?

 

[robertsan21]

I love my Fatebringer and its so sad to see it go as Hard Raid is launched. What other primary weapons have the Firefly Perk?
