This was a strategy someone else posted that we gave a try and it turned out well. The strategy was about the setup of the team (4 center and 2 left) other then that we were just winging it really planning on dealing with the Ogre wave. Ended up not being the case.
Run took 3 minutes and 40 seconds or so. If you count from when the gates deactivate as the start time and end it when the Crota dies you can subtract a good 35 seconds from that so perhaps it took 3 minutes and 5 seconds.
Don't be a noob like me and get shot by Crota. Either hug the wall underneath him or go back into the bottom hallway. I didn't die or anything but still I could have.
If someone wants an explanation of the roles of the players and the level makeup of the raiding party here is a link.

Special thanks to Rev, Posty, Naptap, Nickay, and Last resort aka random british guy who never even fought Crota before!
Enjoy!

I'm sure everyone wants to know the "combo" or so to speak to do this, theres 2 things that made this possible. 1st. He Showed up before he was kneeling (Need teammates who will not fail in taking him down) 2nd. Quick slash, quick slash, heavy uppercut slash, heavy downward strike. Rinse and repeat.

how the fu did your swordbearer so much dmg to crota?
-
Good run! It's strange that the ogres didn't come after the first sword. When we do major damage on Crota after the first sword (about halfway down on his health bar), it seems to spawn the ogres. At first we were under the impression that ogres come after the 2nd sword, but after getting better and doing major damage with each sword, we've noticed ogres sometimes coming right after that first sword session. Maybe it's slightly random as to when they will spawn? OP, any observations what makes ogres spawn, as in number of swords, or percentage of health for Crota? Regardless, my team's best was 3 swords, and we can do it consistently. Sometimes ogres come after the first sword, sometimes after the 2nd. We'll have to try for 2 now!
-
Have you noticed there is a "gatekeeper" above the spawn of crotas end fight? Been trying to get some info on him. Has anyone killed him? Or tried to kill him?
-
-
I'd like to know what combo he's using.

Bump for later access

All there is left to do is find a damn Gjallarhorn :/
-
I wish I can find a group that has that many yolohorns
-
Your aim sucks ass. But grats on beating him.
-
Well played lads! Dat sword usage!
-
Dang who's that stud xxpostyxx. Oh wait that's me!
-
Yeeeaaahhh ... G-Horn is not overpowered even slightly >_>;
-
Has anyone else felt like void damage seriously hurts the Swordbearer? Hitting him tonight with my Axion Bolt grenade seemed to take chunks off of his life bar.

IF YOU NEED HELP WITH THE CROTA FIGHT WATCH THIS http://youtu.be/NT0HCq_a2VQ

Really need to find a good fireteam. I was a 30 perDLC running hard VoG 4-5 times a week. And now a maxed 331 atk ice breaker. Just need the team. GT: CTDMUDRUNNER on 360 if anyone wants to give it a go tonight.
-
Was he attacking crota before he kneeled?
-
What's the combo/trick for that amount of damage! (Sword carrier)
-
If I could rely on someone to take the shield down like that I would beat it too! Nice job!
-
Wowi I was doing RB RB RB RB RB and we got him to half health is two swords. I'll definatly have to try this. Seems like that strategy does insane damage
-
Holy frick, how does he do so much damage, with double downing Crota we still have to do 3-4 swords. What is the sword sequence?
-
How'd they do the animation cancel?!?
-
I tried the R2 R1 R2 R1 R2 R1 combo in the Sword of Crota mission (for practice) but it doesn't feel faster nor does it feel that there's animation cancelling. What made smashing faster was to push forward while smashing compared to just hitting the smash button. Is there a difference in controls between Sword of Crota mission and the one in the raid? I don't believe there is. If this is not the way the swordbearer in your video used the sword, there must be some other control he was doing to attack that fast (aside from timing on when to attack him).

bump for later read.

My team got him down in 2 1/2 sword uses, so I see this being possible, I think on the first attempt of the second sword he may have gotten slightly lucky with crota not swinging on him but a stealth Hunter could do the same. Did he get any specials off? Because my very last sword use was just two slashes I believe, so a special anywhere in there probably sealed the deal, or any extra attacks from those early swings.
