In Destiny, the final boss of the raid “Crota’s End”, Crota, has now been defeated by a single player. He has a history with such feats.
“It was so obvious that it would be him,” was the first reaction. Not bad when a single player stands out in a game played by millions. Defeating a 6-man boss alone – that truly embodies the motto “Become Legend” in Destiny.
From our perspective last night, sc_Slayerage, The Legend Himself, defeated Crota in hard mode. At the moment, there is no clear video of it, only the Twitch stream which we link here. The action starts at 22 minutes, with the kill occurring around the 30 minute mark. We will embed a better video with sound as soon as it becomes available.
Update 21:40: The video is now available, it even includes the entire raid.
The player is not using his own character, but that of a friend, as he needed a Warlock for this and does not have one on his own account.
The raid Crota’s End is actually designed for six players. However, the hard mode was also defeated relatively early after its release by two players. One being a sword bearer and a Titan who supported and shielded him. The solo run comes without this protection, forcing Crota to his knees while dealing damage to him.
This is the first time that the hard mode of a raid boss has been defeated solo.
SC_Slayerage has already drawn attention to himself several times in the past:
- For example, he defeated “The Glass Vault” in hard mode at the end of October with a friend – just the two of them.
- In December, shortly after Darkness Awaits was released, he managed a solo run through the normal mode of Crota’s End.
- And in PvP, he can also hold his own, this compilation of “No Land Beyond” kills is impressive.
