In Destiny, the weekly Nightfall strike on March 17 leads to Crota’s Will. It’s the Yoko Ono of Destiny, against Crota’s friend Omnigul.
Did you know that Omnigul was voiced by the same actress as Eris Morn? And that this actress also provided the screams for the Hive witches and even the sounds made by Hive weapons?
Anyway, the Nightfall in Destiny leads to Crota’s Will for the fifth time, resulting in the Strike appearing approximately twice as frequently in the rotation as other strikes. There are four variants with different modifiers. The other strikes only appear in two variants. This week, from now until Tuesday, March 24 at 10:00 AM, the Arc variant of Crota’s Will is the weekly Nightfall strike in Destiny.
The modifiers for the Nightfall strike in Destiny on March 17.
- Nightfall – If the entire fireteam falls, it’s back to orbit and the strike must be restarted from the beginning.
- Epic – ensures that the enemies in the Nightfall strike hit harder and can withstand more damage than their counterparts in other strikes.
- Lightswitch – the enemies deal significantly increased melee damage.
- Angry – the enemies are not deterred from their mission to wipe out the Guardians (that’s you) by heavy hits.
- Arc Burn – everything that deals Arc damage (like electro stuff) is significantly more effective, also applies to the enemy.
The heroic weekly strike in Destiny also has Arc Burn active.
Which weapons are recommended for the Nightfall in Destiny?
For the primary weapon, the scout rifle Ir Yût’s Fang is definitely worth a look. The classic choice is the Thorn, and the pulse rifle Exotic of the Overmind could also yield good results. And for those who consider the witches and Omnigul herself are worth a special weapon: Abyss Remainer will get them to twitch.
Special weapon: How about “Patience and Time,” the exotic sniper rifle? Or maybe the Sniper LDR 5001 or the Arc shotgun Secret Handshake?
Heavy weapons: The machine gun Thunderlord is definitely the first choice. But other Arc machine guns like Ir Yût’s Song can also clear the field.
Are there guides, tips, or cheese spots for Omnigul and Crota’s Will?
You should all know the Crota’s Will strike by now as well as the back of your hand. It is a relatively tough strike, as certain passages, like the “enemy waves” towards the end, seem never-ending – Omnigul herself is not a particularly popular boss encounter, but rather tough. As always, the fewer players you go into the Nightfall in Destiny, the more cautiously you have to play.
We will post videos of successful runs throughout the day that you can watch for inspiration.
If you don’t want to wait that long: The Arc Omnigul was the first Nightfall strike with the then-new DLC “Darkness Lurks,” and we reported on it back then. And in that article, you’ll find tips and videos on how the Guardians succeeded back then.
The first video we present is a German run with three players. The perspective holder uses a range of Arc weapons including Thorn, Whisper, Thunderlord, and Existence of the Overmind. The tactics are well explained, with retreating to the first rooms, the dangerous melee fighters, and the patience game with Omnigul later on. She is then dealt with quite unusually at the end with a suicide safe spot, but oh well.
Here is an unusual way to deal with Omnigul as a Titan. An Arc shotgun is used and makes quick work of the little songbird of Destiny.
How the Iron Banner can be worth it for hardcore players is shown in this video. One has created a perfect Radegast Wrath Arc rocket launcher, and with it, one can also solo through Crota’s Will. However, even in fast forward, you can see what a tough endeavor that is and how extremely cautiously you must play and through how many small openings you must fire with Patience and Time to clear the Nightfall in Destiny solo.
Today marks the start of the Iron Banner in March with the ID change. Those looking for company for the Nightfall, will surely find it in our Raid Finder article.
