Walkthrough

Stage 1: The Abyss

Players spawn in a dark tunnel encircled by thralls, cursed thralls and a few knights.

Players will have a debuff called Weight of Darkness, that will stack up to 10 times. With the debuff you cannot run or jump high.

Move as a group from one pillar of light to another. At the pillar of light, Weight of Darkness will decrease about 1 per second.

• Be sure to steer clear of the holes on the ground.

Remain at each pillar until you have only 6 stacks of the debuff left so you can sprint again.

• Do not stay at the light for too long or they'll turn red and explode.

When you are at the end, you will see a giant circle. When everyone stands on it, a bridge forms.

Protect the bridge from 2 ogres and knights.

Once the bridge forms run across and kill or run past the ogre on the other side.

Go down the hallway.

Chest

Upon entering Crota's End and land in the thrall area, go straight left. As soon as you see the first light, stick to the path and you'll go into some doors and 1 of them should have a chest. The chest is a random spawn in the doors.

Stage 2: The Bridge

The goal of this stage is to get everyone in the party across the bridge.

A minimum of one player must stand on each of the 3 circles to ensure the bridge can be constructed.

Protect it until the first Swordbearer spawns, after you kill him you will get a Blade's Sword.

The player with the sword must cross the bridge. He must kill the Gatekeeper on the other side because he is the only player who can hurt it. Be sure to use R1, R1, R2 combo so you can keep the Gatekeeper perma-stunned. You've got about 1 minute before the sword vanishes.

Repeat those steps until 3 players are on the other side.

After the requirement is fulfilled, the players on the other side step on the circles similar to the initial side to keep the bridge up.

You now have to do the same but because the 3 players are holding the built bridge, the players from the first side can move about openly as they need to kill the Swordbearers to get the sword so they can cross the bridge. The more players cross the bridge, the more players can help with long range weapons like Sniper Rifles and Scout Rifles.

After all 6 player get to the other side, you will see a Wizard and 2 Ogres appearing, you need to kill them. Note that you don't have to stand on the circles any longer because the bridge is no longer needed.

After you kill all the yellow-bar enemies, you finish the 2nd stage!

Chest

The chest is found after the bridge and the gatekeepers, immediately after the gauntlet with the shriekers and before the drop to the summoning crystal.

There is a door on the opposite side of the opening where you drop down. You have to be quick to make it in before the door closes (1 minute timer), but once you're in you'll be able to open it from the inside. I used Bladedancer and Vex Mythoclast with Lightweight and ran up to each of the invisible walls while my teammates killed the adds and Shriekers, Double Jumped over the hole and slid into the door while it was closing.

Stage 3: Ir Yût, the Deathsinger

Players have about 3 minutes to complete this stage!

You need to kill Ir'Yut, Deathsinger before his debuff, called Liturgy of Ruin kills everyone.

Liturgy of Ruin lasts 30 seconds. At the end of the timer, everyone in your party will die.

As soon as you enter the phase, kill the knights from afar, or stay away from them and kill the wizard on the left.

When the wizard is dead, kill the shrieker behind it, then go to the other side and repeat the process.

After both wizards and shirkers are dead, Ir'Yut Deathsinger will spawn, use your Heavy Weapon and demolish her within the time limit before she uses her song and kills all the players.

Stage 4: The Crota

Requires at least 1 level 31 player!

Players will not regain health during the fight.

Activate the crystal to begin the fight.

Players will be surrounded by enemies. Have defender use Ward of Dawn with Blessing of Light and run in and out of it to kill the enemies around you when the walls break.

5 players should go back to the underground doorway and defend the entrance.

Send the 1 other player out to get the Chalice (large glowing light) and run back to the group.

The player holding the Chalice regains health.

A swordbearer will spawn in the middle and will come down or be lured down.

Kill the Swordbearer

A level 31 or higher player should take the Blade's Sword and the Chalice.

All other player should fire at Crota to take out his shield.

When Crota's shield is down he is vulnerable to the sword for around 2 seconds.

The player with the sword should hit him 1 or 2 times with the sword then run back down.

Repeat the process.

Ogres will spawn every 2 rounds or if the chalice is dropped.

If a player dies, a giant green orb will spawn. Kill the orb quickly or it will wipe the party.
