Crota’s End, the iconic raid from Destiny’s early days, makes its highly anticipated return to Destiny 2 this January, promising a brutal test of skill and teamwork for Guardians everywhere. Originally launched in the 2014 Dark Below expansion, this Moon-based showdown against Crota, Son of Oryx, has been reprised before in 2023’s Season of the Witch, but fresh updates signal an even more unforgiving challenge ahead. Bungie’s latest tease hints at new loot, refined mechanics, and the kind of high-stakes encounters that define endgame raiding.

Fireteams will dive into the Hellmouth’s depths, starting with The Abyss traversal. Players grab the Chalice of Light to gain the Enlightened buff, lighting abyssal lamps while fending off thralls and knights in pitch darkness. Weight of Darkness debuff ramps up the tension, demanding precise coordination to avoid wipes. Next comes the Oversoul Throne bridge, where teams split to hunt wizards across crystal rooms—three in phase one, scaling to five—before unleashing DPS on Ir Yut, the Deathsinger. Her Dark Liturgy timer forces rapid wizard kills and heavy ammo bursts from weapons like Taipan-4FR or Lament swords.
The climax unfolds in Crota’s throne room. Boomer Knights spawn in towers, summoning ogres and swordbearers whose Hive blades are key to stripping Crota’s overshield. Enlightened players hoard swords for multi-phase DPS, navigating Chalice swaps and the Oversoul’s wipe timer. Warlocks with Well of Radiance and debuff exotics like Divinity shine here, turning potential chaos into triumph. Rewards include pinnacle gear, exclusive emotes, and craftable weapons like Word of Crota, fueling the grind.
This January drop aligns with Destiny 2’s ongoing evolution, blending nostalgia with modern twists. Whether you’re a raid veteran or fireteam newbie, assemble your squad—world-first races and flawless runs await. Stay tuned for launch details, loadouts, and challenge rotations as Bungie ramps up hype. Crota’s end is near, but only the worthy will claim victory.
