Need some Crota Solo advice.

So, I've been doing the normal CE raid solo a few times (completed it once! Yay!) and almost every part of the raid goes smoothly. But I'm having some serious struggles at the final boss, Crota. Taking out the swordbearer isn't that hard. Two gjallarhorns to the face, including one or two shots with my felwinter's lie and sometimes an occasional super take him down quickly (although the asshat sometimes tends to hide like a little fegget). Next up, downing Crota. Two gjallarhorn shots make him kneel, but here's what's bothering me... I always go to the rocks on the right side, usually giving me a clear sight of Crota, however, Crota sometimes moves to the right, hiding his full body behind the giant -blam!-ing horn, meaning I have no chance to get a shot at him! Do any of you gaurdians know what's causing this or a way to prevent that from happening? Or is it RNG based, like the rest of the game? :/ This is the setup I use: Titan Striker Word of Crota Blackhammer/Felwinter's Lie Gjallarhorn Ruin Wings Raid Gauntlets/Chestpiece/Greaves EDIT: Ahahahah, found the perfect solution. Instead of going to the upper rock on the right side, you should go to the lower one. Crota will almost always come looking for you! I just had the perfect run on my third try. Two swords, first three downs three smashes, final down two smashes. Got him before the ogres spawned! Now I can carry newbies through the raid for their first time!

  • When he hides like that behind the horn I just jump up and he walks back out... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kT-PHhwfpwk Here is s vid of me soloing...and in this vid Crota hides like you are referring too. Good luck and keep at it!

  • I solo'd it on my titan as well and faced this same problem. Pretty easy t get around actually, just double jump and you may need to shoot at him, but don't stay suspended in air for long. This makes him think he can shoot you with his energy things and will bring him out. It could take 2 or 3 jumps but it works.

  • Soloed it on all 3 chars and have to say Titan is definetly the hardest... You may try defender using BoL on one of the rocks, then jump up and shoot him from there, take sword, DPS. What helps most of the time when he's hiding is just throwing a grenade onto the middle of the podium. He should then come out (usually headshotting you like crazy lol)

  • I'm going to try and solo it tomorrow. I tried once and just had a couple of errors. Can't wait to say I soloed it.

  • I have yet to solo normal crota, but I watched my brother do it on his titan. It took him an extremely long time and rng is definitely a factor. Just gotta keep trying.
