(Read these if you have just reached level 20 or are frustrated with progression)

• Part 1 (Progression at 20-25)
• Part 2 (Xur's weekly visits, and getting to 26 and beyond; note, "What the Hell is Up with Engrams?" section doesn't apply since the engram patch)
• Part 3 (27+, getting to 29 without RNG; note, goal 4.5 only applies when the Queen's Wrath missions are available)

• Part 4b (Building with Exotics)

• Vol. 1 | Vol. 2 | Vol. 3 | Vol. 4
  Important correction on the second tip of Volume 3:
  The XP amounts are right, but bounty XP is not split between your equipped items, it applies equally to all of them. Equip everything you want to give XP to before turning in bounties.

Watch your back, Guardian. No one else will.

 

[TheOddOne]

Never heard of this game.

 

[Kor of Memory]

How long should a Noob level CE raid last?

About 90 minutes, give or take depending on your skill sets.

 

[Deku Tree]

Never heard of this game.

Me either. What is enrage?

 

[E92 M3]

A new OT is discovered.

 

[LiK]

I preferred just "Enraged". Dang it Kor

 

[toastyToast]

Destiny |OT14| Sticking It Hard in Crota's End

Destiny |OT16| Crota's Sticking It Hard in End

 

[E92 M3]

Nope didn't get it. Such wasted time bro it's beyond maddening. Wasted heavy ammo and time that didn't bear any fruit.

Try it again after some sleep, it will help a lot.

 

[EL CUCO]

A wild OT appears

 

[DrDrizzay101]

OT16: Enrage is near

I think is the consensus favorite title...

 

[patchday]

Oh snap I get a post on 1st page finally

Good luck to you HM Crota teams! May loot rain down upon you

 

[noomi]

Guardians!

The battle was grueling! It took many hours of perfection, coordination, frustration, and awesome team work. We did it boys, and it’s a great feeling to be able to say we conquered the most challenging encounter of destiny. Honestly, for me the most challenging fight in any game I have been a part of.

Shout out to all those that helped, we could NOT have done this without you!

Below are 3 videos from my PoV as sword carrier, you will see our strategy and execution get better with each video. Please note that I made some stupid mistakes, and you will definitely see them. My aim was for shit, I would get stuck, hesitate, run around like an idiot panicking…..but we got it done. Most of us were going on many hours of gameplay (8+, 10+ hours?) So please keep in mind we were very tired haha so be kind!

[E92 M3]

Destiny |OT14| Sticking It Hard in Crota's End

Destiny |OT16| Crota's Sticking It Hard in End

Lol - Crota really showed us how to stick it.

 

[Homeboyd]

GET WRECKED CROTA

 

[Rhaegar]

Let me be the first in the new OT to say that Xur really brought us the hook-up this week. I foresee a ton of HM CE clears with No Zland Beyond this week. Shard out those Ice Breakers, folks!

 

[MrS]

OT16: Enrage is near

I think is the consensus favorite title...

definitely is. Way to go, Kor!

 

[123rl]

Anyone around on the Xbox One for a Weekly Strike or Nightfall? I haven't done the Weekly yet so I want to try the harder one

 

[DJ88]

Man I spent about 8 hours trying to down Crota all night yesterday, but finally succumbed to sleep. We got so close many times and reading about the new strategy for killing the ogres sounds like the missing piece we needed. I'd love to join a group right now with at least one person who's beaten it and has a solid strategy down to finally knock this out.

 

[Copen]

Try it again after some sleep, it will help a lot.

That's what I thought yesterday lol this was my second night doing it for hours. Teams im with aren't bad I dunno things just aren't falling into place.

 

[Deku Tree]

PSA: Those Radiant Dance Machines have an insanely good roll for a Xur Exotic! 147 STR

 

[DJ Lushious]

I'll be home at 3:30-4:00 EST.

Awww, pants. I don't get home until 6:45 PM EST.

I don't like the center strategy, to be honest. I think it makes the swordbearer to tough to kill and really makes the sword player an easy target for Thralls and Crota's laser beams.

 

[patchday]

I saved the vid. Will upload later today.

Well if you have time can you PM me the link to? I'm just afraid I might miss the post. You know what this is easy- I'll just remember to search for your posts to ensure I dont miss the link

If you are on Xbox we can help.

On PS4 thanks for the offer though. K I'm gonna crash out and re commit more time tonight.

 

[rNilla]

I'd like to take a moment to recognize Hawkian. He's put forth an unmeasurable amount of good will towards this community. We're lucky to have him and I expect he'll still be around running his newbie raids, writing his guides and providing his passionate analysis. Thanks Hawk! I hope the community hasn't burned (or bummed) you out too much.

OT title should have been a tribute.

 

[Deku Tree]

Hahaha. Perfect.

That's a damned good idea. And the thing about Hawkian is he is a generally cool and great-natured person. I've always enjoyed his presence when playing. He's a pillar of this community, if I do say so myself.

It kind of is, in a way...
But yeah, I agree, Hawkian did an awesome job for this community here on GAF. I hope he will keep on posting, even if he slows down a bit / takes a back seat.

Only drops after the bridge, right?

If so I´m screwed for this week.

Still might get the scout though.

 

[deadlast]

That's not bad at all. I need to run CE. when are the noob runs?

 

[E92 M3]

Yes, bridge. It doesn't seem to be super rare so I'm sure you'll get it on reset.

 

[Rhaegar]

Hawkianmoon

I like it! Both amazing at what they do and both (unfortunately) PS4 exclusives.

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

Awww, pants. I don't get home until 6:45 PM EST.

I don't like the center strategy, to be honest. I think it makes the swordbearer to tough to kill and really makes the sword player an easy target for Thralls and Crota's laser beams.

I'll be on all night and I have three characters that need it, two that need the whole thing.

 

[TheOddOne]

Me either. What is enrage?

 

[Born2Live]

New OT smell, also first page whoop.

 

[ethomaz]

16 heh? Cool.

 

[CouchMaster]

Need two more for HM Crota bridge.

PSN: Carboncores

Spoiler

thanks for the last run Druv

 

[Noisepurge]

OT16: Enrage is near

I think is the consensus favorite title...

OT16: Enrage is near, far, whereeever you are!

 

[silver.tongue]

Awww, pants. I don't get home until 6:45 PM EST.

I don't like the center strategy, to be honest. I think it makes the swordbearer to tough to kill and really makes the sword player an easy target for Thralls and Crota's laser beams.

After running both, I must say I like middle best because than only one player is at risk (swordrunner). The others are safe to focus on other "jobs" away from boomer fire.

If you go for just 2 hacks after with each sword there's no need to be as agressive.

 

[scarletham]

First first page for me

Also holy shit @ pg16

 

[SkylineRKR]

Need two more for HM Crota bridge.

I have bridge checkpoint too and wanted to do it.

Send me a PM so I don't forget.

I hope it's the full run. Was late pressing the share button.

 

[GalacticToast]

Fucking Rahool. Three Exotic Engrams. Three helms I already own. All with worse stat rolls.

 

[Spectromixer]

First time I've been on the first page :0

 

[E92 M3]

It would be nice if the title was "Enrage is near"

Very appropriate for the latest events.
