Destiny Player Solos Crota Raid in 16 Minutes

Bungie’s Destiny is notorious for its ridiculous player-driven challenges, such as soloing Raids or taking a Sparrow where no Sparrow should be allowed to go. With this in mind, a player undertook Destiny‘s latest Raid, Crota’s End, solo. While this is nothing new, the player managed to do it in an astonishing 16 minutes and 7 seconds.

Bungie has got to be feeling like crap. to make a raid that they claim to be incredibly hard and somebody solo's it that fast.

They might want to call Blizzard and ask how to make a proper raid

Mega243761d ago

Sorry, but blizzard's latest raids have sucked so bad, good ol' WotLK days, they never coming back.

bananaboats3761d ago

but how many of those raids can be solo'd? How many of them can be done in less than an hour?

I stopped playing WoW after cata. and I dont remember any of the raids being glitchy or hearing of people soloing them.

Point is Bungie lacks the knowledge of a proper raid. With that said I still enjoy since day one, I just wish I had more things to do after wednesday.

InTheZoneAC3761d ago

this is normal mode...anyone a level 32 can walk through it

bananaboats3761d ago

yea, I know this raid is easy but I dont think Bungie made this raid for a 32 to solo and in less than 20 minutes.

also It still takes some skill to solo this raid, lvl 32 or not no any person can jump into Crota's end and solo it entirely.

Spotie3761d ago

So because somebody with high level armor and weapons used every available cheat and glitch they could to beat something they couldn't come close to beating otherwise, Bungie should feel like crap?

Battlefieldlover3761d ago

I didn't see any cheats or glitches used. I don't think Bungie should feel like crap but give props where props are due. Kudos to this guardian. Fun watch. Now i want to see him do it on HM.

KyRo3761d ago

They were originally hard(ish) even with a full team when they first came out but then people find the 'perfect' way on how to beat these raids. The way we Crotas End now is completely different to how we attempted to beat it when the first expansion dropped.

And here I am, haven't even beaten Vault of Glass once.

Yardragon3761d ago

this is soooo a non team game.

Allsystemgamer3761d ago

Can't beat vault of glass without a team.

Tankbusta403761d ago (Edited 3761d ago )

Bungie press release:

"Durr we maintain this is the hardest game ever and it needs constant communication and we refuse match making because of it. Because of this we will now ban anyone who solos this raid... Cuz that's not how we want you to play our game"

SaffronCurse3761d ago

matchmaking would be a horrible idea.

Tankbusta403761d ago

Yeah of course it would... Who wants features that occur in modern gaming... We're bungie we do what we want regardless of what our fans want... Cuz cuz we made halo 2

kayoss3761d ago

An option to do match making would be good. None of my friends are on when I'm on due to other obligation, so when I do raid, it's hard to find a team. I tried soloing crotas raid once, never got pass the first check point.

GameSpawn3761d ago

Matchmaking would be a horrible idea without mics. Communication is a must for the Raids, even if everyone already knows what to do ahead of time, you still need to coordinate into 2-3man teams and 3-2man teams at varying points - this is hard to do without audio cues.

I think Bungie can enable matchmaking on Raids as long as it is limited to mic users ONLY. The game already detects if you have a mic or not, so put that to use. Have a notice on the Raid in the director that would say "Matchmaking Disabled (Connect a Mic)" if no mic was connected.

Battlefieldlover3761d ago

Totally agree. I've used LFG alot and from time to time you get fireteams that are so bad it is mind numbing. Everyone has "Their" way of doing sections and if everyone isn't on the same page everyone fails. I'd say its actually easier to solo it. I solo the first Checkpoint on my hunter on hm every week before i use my clan and LFG. I can solo up to Crota on nm with all 3 of my toons but never could think of how to do Crota. No that i know two Ghorn shots take him down i just might give it a go.

doomtrain3761d ago

erm......

your link should be titled

'' level 32 player solo's the very easy mode by himself using glitches and cheats in 16 mins ''

GameSpawn3761d ago

That is the only way to solo either of the Raids. Doing them legitimately needs a minimum of two (VERY SKILLED) players to finish. You still need three to get into the Vault of Glass, but after that two very skilled players could still finish the Vault.

HollowZbankai3761d ago (Edited 3761d ago )

umm i think The Legend Himself beat crotas end on hard(Solo) in about 1 hr 15 mins with no cheeses or glitches. theres even a video. so yes, its possible without cheesing

CorndogBurglar3761d ago

Vault of Glass requires a minimum of 3 players. You cant even open the vault without 3 people.

lordkripto3761d ago

You cannot do the vault with less than 4 people. Once you get to atheon you will have to have 4 minimum. 3 people get teleported

HollowZbankai3761d ago

sigh, again, there is a video on that as well. The Legend Himself did the vault with 3 people , then did it with 2 people. the vault can be opened with 2 ppl if very skilled. no enemies will ever go up to the middle platform. but yea i cant remember what happened at atheon but theres a video online. check it out. i hink they even escorted a sparrow or 2 all the way passed atheon to the win screen.

irishyort3761d ago

You can get in the Vault with 1 person BTW

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_295d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981295d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140295d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85295d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj295d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman295d ago (Edited 295d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake294d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn294d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg294d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07294d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom294d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac294d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake294d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark294d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde294d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125294d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
